AMORTIZATION PLAN
ON LOANS
G. BY LEAVITT

Great Falls, Aug. 27-Amorti-
cation of federal seed and feed
loans is the most practical solu-
ton of the present farm situation
in many parts of Montana, Con-
gresham Scott Leavitt stated to-
day following a survey of condi-
lions in various sections of his
district.
I'm northeastern Montana /
found many farms which will pro-
duce practically nothing this year."
the Congressman said. SIN q
great many other places my per-
sonal observation and reports
which | received during the course
of large meetings with farmers
and business men show that the
average will run only five bushels
per acre. Amortization providing
three to five years for repayment
of the government loans is espec-
tally desirable in those sections
where crop failure is combined
with the low prices. 1t is advis-
able that farmers be allowed to
conserve their resources, where
necessary, to carry them through
the winter and allow them to take
advantage of the expected recov-
cry in business, making repay
ments when prices are higher. I
have strongly urged adoption of
this plan upon the secretary of
agriculture and the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation" Mr..
Leavitt said.
The congressman stated this
would be sound business policy
for both the farmers and the gov
eminent and that he was hopeful,
following his presentation of it,
that the proposal would be ap-
proved.

~CARELESSNESS MAY
CAUSE CLOSING OF
NATIONAL FORESTS

Careless smokers were respons-
lble for as per cent of all man.
caused fires which started in the
national forests in Montana and
north Idaho during the last ten
day period, according to report
issued from the regional office of
the forest service at Missoula. If
such carelessness continues the
forests may be closed to entry ex-
cept by special written permit, it
was said.
"We dislike to impose this add
ed restriction" said Evan w. KEEL
ley, regional forester. "But," he
added, with such carelessness by
smokers as is evident by this last
ten-day report we must seriously
consider closing, which we had
wanted to avoid this year.
Il sincerely hope" he continued,
"that the carelessness of the few
will not force upon the many the
added delay and inconvenience
which inevitably must accompany
any general closing order.
However" he added, "the most
important job entrusted to the
forest service Is that of protect
ing the nations forests from fire
and if the smoker continues his
.carelessness it may become neces-
sary to require the public, gen.
orally, to put up with added dis
comfort and delay in order to
help adequately protect their
property from destruction by for
est fires"

Tells Mussolini What to
Do; Makes Him Like 1t.

Rome.-Everybody in Italy takes
orders from Premier Mussolini ex-
cept one man. He tells MuSSolini
what to do-and makes him like 1t.
That man is Arturo Bocchini, d.
rector general of the Italian police.
Bocchini is sixty. His gray hair
and mild appearance make him
seem like anything but the head of
one of the most powerful secret po-
lice organizations in the world.
Bocchini assumed his present post
in September, 1926. shortly after
the anarchist, Lucetti, threw bomb
at Mussolini's automobile as it was
passing through Porta Pia. Because
of his experience as prefect in
Genoa and other Italian cities, Boo
chini was called to take over the
job of supervising of all police ac-
tivities.
Got Carte Blanche.
AS a condition to his acceptance,
Bocchini demanded carte blanche
powers to do what he thought best
for the safety of Mussolini. His
demands were accepted.
He started by giving Mussolini
orders. First Of all, II Duce was
not to move publicly without in

Second, the number of appear

Third, Mussolini was not to use
the train, but must travel every

said Mussolini must not leave Ital-
ian territory.
During the past six years there
have been many times when Musso-

who have only one duty to watch

the government.
There is also political squad"
scattered all over Italy. Its men,
bers ferret out subversive propa-
ganda and acts against the regime.
Finally, there is the regular organ

New Metal Detector to Be
Tried by Expedition.

Washington.-The elusive caches
of pirate gold on Cocos island that
have defed maps and diggings OF
fortune hunters for more than q
century, now must dodge the deli.
cate instruments of science. An ex.
pedition now on the island is re
ported pinning its hopes on a newly
developed metal detector.
"Cocos island. which is Is square
miles of lofty. forest-covered noun
tainS and furrowed valleys. owes its
fame to the activities of pirates
along the coasts Of Central and
South America from the Seven
teenth to the early part of the last
century" says a bulletin from the
National Geographic society.
After Capt. Edward Davis loot
ed Leon. Nicaragua, in 1855. he
sailed for Cocos. buried his treas
ure and rested until his next plum
dering expedition. In the early
eighties. Benito. a former Portu-
guese naval officer who was a
scourge to shipping in the Carib-
bean. felt that his old bailiwick was
being too well policed by his profes-
sion, rounded the Horn, preyed upon
towns and shipping along the Pa
cific coast and sought refuge on
Cocos. He also buried treasure on
the island before he and his crew
were captured.
Loot of Lima Magnet.
"LOots of other pirates have been
reported buried on Cocos, but the
famous loot of Lima. perhaps, is the
chief magnet of modern expeditions
TO the island Gold and silver and
precious stones worth millions that
were accumulated by the Spaniards
from the natives and form richly
adorned Inca temples, were hoard
ed in Lima when a revolution broke.
The Lima mint was filled with
gold and silver and the Lima ca

new radiance with every movement
of the priests who wore them. There
