Life insurance" he declared ''is
a positive expression of the great
home instinct. Love is the motive
power that makes possible the greater
proportion of the tremendous volume
of life insurance that we see in force
among our people. Life insurance is
a material evidence of something fine

America. SO long as that something
remains. American is safe and her fu-

THREE FARM AID
BILLS REPORTED
House Committee Sets Prec-

By the Associated Press.


Three farm relief bills-the Tincher
measure. backed by Secretary Jardine;
the Haugen corn belt bill, and the
Aswell commodity marketing bill
were ordered reported to the House
today by its agricultural committee.
Chairman Haugen said 1t had been
decided that his bill would be called
up first, with the others later offered
as substitutes.
The Aswell bill would set up a
system of national cooperative as.
sociations for each commodity, with
credit from the Government available
in time of stress.
The Haugen bill would finance sur
plus crops by levying an equalization
fee on them, while the Tincher bill
would extend credit to farmers CO.

BY it's wholesale reporting of meas
ures, the committee sought to give the
House an opportunity to vote on each
of the three plans, which have split
the ranks of the committeeman during
the long hearings on agricultural leg
islation.
Members Of the committee express
ed the opinion that still other pro-
posed farm relief bills could be called
up on the floor as substitutes under
the procedure to be adopted.
In response to a request for in
formation. Chairman Haugen was
told by Lehr Fess, House parliamen-
