LIEN HOLIDAY
MOVE W|DENS

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 G.N.S0
Possibility that thousands of
farmers the country over might
lose their homes and only means
Of livelihood was virtually re,
moved today by countrywide ex,
tension of a moratorium on fore
closures against owner-occupied
farms by leading insurance COM
panies.
Initiated when foreclosure
action against owner occupied
farms in Iowa were dropped by
life insurance firms at the re-
quest of Gov. Clyde Herring, the
move was rapidly taken up by
insurance companies h ol d n g
some $1,700,000 worth of farm
mortgages.
The Prudential Insurance Com
pany, of Newark, largest single
holder of such mortgages, boil
stored the movement started by
the New York Life Insurance
Company when it announced it
would suspend foreclosure against
owner-held farms throughout the
country and Canada. The New
York Life had at first suspended
foreclosure only in Iowa.
Other leading insurance firms,
while making no official declara-
ton of policy, let it be under
stood they would swing in line
and make every effort to keep
farmers on their property except
in extreme cases. Concerning
tenant-occupied farms, it was
indicated regular procedure would
be followed in foreclosures.

LIFE ON VENUS,
NONE ON MARS,
SAYS SAVANT
Chicago University AStrono-
mer Calls Meteorite Find
Great Discovery

CHICAGO. Feb. / GN.SO II
life exists anywhere else in the
solar system it will be found or
Venus rather than Mars, and
there is every effort of science tc
prove it.
Professor w. D. Mcmillan, dean
OF astronomy at Chicago Univer
sity, expressed this belief today
saying he hailed las of major i'm
portance" the evidence of life be-
yond the earth. discovered in me
teorites by Professor Charles l.
Lipman, noted plant pathologist
OF the University of California
He said:
"Tf the reported finding by
Professor Lipman of microscopic
living organisms in fragments of
meteorites from space is true,
then 1t is the first definite indi-
cation science has had of the
existence of life elsewhere.
ut Is an extraordinary dis
cOvery, but the main thing to
be determined now is, if posi-
BILE, the approximate age Of
these organisms and thereby
endeavOr to get some idea
whether they came from our
own solar system or beyond.
Anticipated Discovery
Prof. Mcmillan said he has
Railways anticipated" that life
would be found to exist not only
in the solar system, but beyond
In interstellar space, He added:
But if life does exist any
where else in the solar system,
1t will more likely be found on
Venus than on Mars, as many
have felt heretofore.
"VenuS is approximately the
same size as the earth. 1t has
about the same atmosphere, and
very much similar to those we
have on earth, except that the
average temperature is about
12O degrees Fahrenheit.
Covered With Clouds
'Venus is fully covered with
clouds, and that hampers our
observations. The earth, by
comparison, is only about half
covered with clouds. The sur
face gravity of the two planets
is about the same.
''If we could know how fast
Venus rOtateS, and thereby de-
termine how long its days are,
then we would be much
further toward a solution of the
entire problem. But unqueS-
tiOnably, if life exists any
where else in the solar system,
1t is on Venus rather than
Mars, which is much more un-
favorable for supporting life."
From Another System
'"ThiS will be extremely diff
ficult. 1t is my opinion that
these meteorites came from
another stellar system. 1 see
no special reason, however,
why this discovery should lend
strength to the theory that
life originally came to the
earth from other planets.

KENAI VALLEY TRAPPERS READY
 TO RUN LINES

After an absence of nearly 10 years rabbits are making their ap- pearance in numbers on the Ke- mai Peninsula.
 This is taken by trappers to auger a return of lynx and foxes.
 COincident with the reappear- ance of rabbits has come an in crease in grouse and ptarmigan.
 All wild life came thru the sum- ner having the appearance of having laid up good stores of fat. Especially is this true of the moose and sheep, which are still clinging to the high places despite the snow which has laid down heavy nite- cap on all hills and creers down to the escarpments.
 Following the first snowfall of sufficient volume to lay down an inch, some forecast of what trap ping will offer was gained in the many signs of mink, lynx and er- mine.
 Practically all of the kenai riy- er valley is occupied by trapper residents along the river and there is no nearby ground available Those who trap! every winter have outfitted their shelter cabins and made preparation to occupy their traplines this winter None Of the lines are long, it being a gentle mans agreement to give each per- manent resident an opportunity to share in the work while not overlapping the country.
