When Samuel Kean, head of the Alaska Oil corpor- ation. which is drilling at Hastings creek, went to work last spring he found some vandal had taken up his drill and dropped piece of pipe such as is used as road markers in the Second division down the drill hole. and now MT. Kean is under the neces- sity of abandoning the hole altogether or going to great expense to blast the pipe out of the way as the drill will not bite the tough iron. To place the pipe in the hole required the re- mova of 600 pound drilling iron which rested on a wooden block com pletely covering the hole.

small and lonely bunch foregathered
at the hall.
1t was a mighty quiet night inside.
The secretary had read his report for
the third time. possibly, and the
treasurer had proudly cited the figures
showing a million dollars, more or
less, in the surplus fund of the associa-
ton. to brace the mall up, when the
question of keeping few thousands of
this coin in circulation, came up.
One farmer suggested that they pay
of all the farm mortgages in the town
ship with a part of the money; an
ether still more generous soul said
why not apply this principal to the
whole Of Union county. and make more
people happy. Why be stingy about
it,"
Decide to Buy Oysters.
And thus the argument proceeded,
nobody getting anywhere, until one
hungry brother, with the idea of a
good supper in mind, suggested oys-
tiers. 1t did not take him long to
convince the bunch that oysters are
edible just now, there being an "r" in
December.
And it was so ordered. The ground
plan and front elevation of an oyster
supper what am, was Immediately
shaped up by man who knew how to
do the drawing. He pictured row of
snowy tables. with hundreds of bowls
of steaming oysters. crackers galore,
and pies and things to eat in abund
ance. In fact he dumped all the
contents of the horn of plenty in full
sight Of his auditors.
And so it came about that Harrison
township, Union county farmers, with
their wives and families, enjoyed an
oyster supper, with trimmings, the
other night.

Cattle Men Want Cheaper Meat.
We don't know just how it all came
about, not being present at the meet

the cattle men from twelve western
states, no concluded their convention

manded cheaper meat.
No, they didn't argue that cattle
should sell for less money, but that
retail prices on dressed meats be cut
They asked that Attorney General
Palmer institute an investigation OF
retail meat prices, beginning with the

INSURANCE POLICY
HOLDERS ARE TAXED
EXCESSIVELY, RHODES
fRv Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. - A person
holding a policy in any one of the
American life insurance companies
finds himself subject, indirectly, to the
imposition of five. and perhaps six fed.
eral taxes, E. E. Rhodes, vice-president
of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
company. Newark, N. j., at its four
teenth annual convention, told the
Association of Life insurance Presl-
dents here today.
Although emphasizing the multiple
taxation of life insurance, Mr.. Rhodes
urged that it is far better that insur-
ance men shall sincerely and whole
heartedly cooperate with the govern
ment in finding a reasonable basis of
taxation than that they should take
an antagonistic position toward all
plans that may be presented.
What is the position of one who
has sought insurance protection, in so
far as federal taxes are concerned?
asked the speaker. I'm the first place.
he pays a tax at the rate of eighty
cents per $1,000 of insurance for the
privilege of insuring his life. In the
second place, he pays personal tax
upon so much of his income as is
required to pay the premium upon his
insurance. In the third place, the
amount he pays as premium is again
taxed when it reaches the company of
which he is a member. In the fourth
place, if the assessment of an Excess
profits tax is upheld by the courts the
premium is again taxed. In the fifth
place, so much of his premium as is
held by the company for contingencies
is again taxed as a capital stock tax
In the sixth place, when the amount
insured is paid to his estate it is
again taxed.
This is taxation with a vengeance

which he does not enter into for prof,
and in which there can be no profit

it affects life insurance, but gave an

AGRICULTURE TAUGHT
IN ALL STATES, SHOWS
RESULTS, SAYS NOLAN
(By Associated Press)

URBANA. H., Dec. 10.-The newest
set of agricultural teachers-those who
have come to the farm boys at their
work in the open country-are making
a great success, according to A. w.
Nolan, assistant professor of agricul-
tural extension at the University OF
Illinois.
Since the passage of the Smith
Hughes vocational education act in
1917. teachers of agriculture are now
at work in all the states of the Union
Professor Nolan said. These teach
ers are employed for IL months in the
year. They are paid partly from local
funds and partly from federal funds
granted by the vocational act.
Under the provisions Of this law,
all students enrolling in vocational
agriculture, with teachers thus en-
ployed, must carry on for six months
OF the year, as required part of their
course, farm project under the super
vision of the teacher.
Teacher Lives in Work.
"a teacher of agriculture literally
lives with his boys during the summer
months, directing their work, study
and business in connection with their
farm projects. The boys in these
classes are usually organized into vo-
cational clubs under which auspices
trips are taken TO sales, fairs, uni
versities, agricultural exhibits, and
good farms. All of this reacts to the
moral and social, as well as the voca-
tional and agricultural education of
the boys.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1920. nearly 1000 schools had estab-
;ished departments of vocational
agriculture and over $4,000 boys had
enrolled in the work, carrying on the
farm practice as required. The FEEDER.
al Board reported for the year that
the income from the projects of the
boys carrying on the farm practice
was approximately s1.000,00O. a sum of
money larger than the federal grant
to the States for carrying on the
work in agriculture"
