CURTIS DECLARES
F0RLAND0N IN Sc
Capper Also Backs Kansas
Governor, Sees Solid
Delegation.
Ry thA Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
! Former Vice President Curtis de-
clared today for Gov. Landon Of Kan
sas to be the 1886 Republican presi-
! dental nominee.
Revelation of his position impel-
led Senator Capper of Kansas to as
sert his support of the Governor
Although his views had long been
known to friends, it was the first
public word.
IT am glad that he makes that
statement" Capper said. 1T is in
line with the wishes of Republicans
of Kansas"
He predicted the State delegation
would be solid for Landon in the
convention.
Curtis position was given in an inter-
view in which he denied published
reports aligning him on the side of
Col. Frank Knox of Illinois.
I'm for Gov. Landon of Kansas, II
he is candidate" said Curtis, himself
a Kansan.
"I have never joined up with the
Knox movement, though I have high
regard fer him. I'll never commit my
self for any one else until I know
whether Landon Is candidate.
Landon Has Not Announced.
Although Gov. Landon never has
declared he was a candidate, friends
have kept active in his behalf.
There had been frequent reports in
Washington that Curtis and other old
organization leaders in Republican cir
cles were joining the Knox movement.
Former Senator Moses of New
Hampshire has boosted his candidacy
and the name of former Senator Wat
son Of Indiana also has been men
toned. Watson was reluctant to talk
about it when seen recently.
Robert H. Lucas, former chairman
of the Republican Executive Commit
tee, also named in the published re-
ports as backing Knox, was out of the
city.
Borah Runs First In Poll.
In the poll of Republican leaders be-
ing conducted by him the latest re-
turns showed Knox running second to
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho.
who has never permitted himself to be
considered as q candidate.
Curtis support Of Landon was not
unexpected, as he has always worked
closely with the Republican organiza-
ton in his home State. He has never
been regarded as one Of the Hoover
group in Republican circles. even
though he was Vice President under
Herbert Hoover.
He was one of those most critical
Of the Hoover candidacy before Mr..
Hoover was nominated by the 1928
convention.
About all I can is ditto" comment
ed Representative Hope, another Kan
saS Republican. on hearing OF the
Curtis and Capper assertions.
kansas is solidly behind Landon, ;,
he added, "we're all for him"
Representative Carlson, who man
aged Landon's first gubernatorial
campaign, recently said party leaders

before she married Leopold, then
crown prince, on November 10, 1926.

Crown Prince Baudouin.
The Queen was born in Stockholm
November II, 1905. Her marriage to
Leopold was acclaimed as true love
match.
Princess Astrid, as she was then
known, told after her betrothal how
she had refused the Crown Prince
Leopold three times in three weeks.
IT love him." said the Princess,
"but was Just afraid to become a
Queen"
King Leopold is SO, four years older
than was his Queen.
Queen Astrid was the daughter of
the Duke of Vaestergoetland. Before
her engagement to Leopold was an
nounced in October, 1926, she had
repeatedly been reported as about to
become betrothed to the Prince Of
Wales and Prince Olaf of Norway.
Leopold courted her in the guise of a
servant.
Belgium greeted her with the great
est demonstration since the arrnistice
was announced.
Princess Josephine Charlotte, eldest
Of her children, was born october IL,
1927. The heir-apparent was born
three years later and Prince Albert a

TREASURY BONDS
SEEK PURCHASERS
For First Time in History,
U. S. Issue Fails to
Sell Out.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury today reported its
first failure in history to sell an al
lotted amount of Internationally
guaranteed securities.
Only $85 ,592 900 of tenders were re-
ceived for an offering Of $l00 1000
of four-year 11a per cent bonds for
the Federal Farm Mortgage Corp.
1T wasn't so good" commented
Secretary Morgenthau. declining to
discuss the possible causes.
Declared Badly Timed.
Other Treasury officials, who would
not be quoted by name. said the issue
was badly timed, coming in the mid
die Of a bearish Government market.
The bonds, offered last Monday.
were sold on q competitive. or auction,
basis to the highest bidder.
Morgenthau said the auction basis
had nothing to do with the fotation's
failure. in his opinion, adding this
system would not be abandoned. He
refused, however, to disclose details
Of future financing plans.
OffcialS contended the rate of IL
per cent for four years was not too
low, pointing out that a recent issue
of f1ve-year 12s per cent bonds was
heavily oversubscribed.
without Parallel.
Treasury officials could not recall q
similar instance in the memory of
career men when it failed to sell its
bonds. The closest approach was said
to have occurred last August when an
issue of s150,000 900 of Home Owners
Loan Corp. bonds was fioated in three
series. While two of the series were
oversubscribed, an offering of the
three-year series fell $4,000, 900 shy of
the requested total of $50,000,000.
The average price of the Farm
Mortgage Corp. bonds to be issued at
this time is approximately SO. Based
on the average price at which the
bonds are to be issued, they will re-
turn about 1762 per cent to maturity.
OF the submitted tenders, $85,262,-
900 was accepted.
The bonds bore the unconditional
guarantee of the Government both as
to principal and interest.

Stella Walsh in the sprint at the indoor championships. Enthusiastic friends rushed forward to congratu- late Miss Stephens and made a great to-do over the fact that she outrun the famous Stella Walsh. All Miss Stephens did was to naive ly ask: Who is Stella Walsh?"
 Miss Walsh might have taken the defeat in good grace. After all, she had been beaten before. Many times. But when the Missouri farm bred sprinter professed not to know the record of the girl she had beaten for the championship-that was too much for speedy Stella.
 Bes. Olympic nope
 Miss Walsh passed up a sched- uled meeting in St. Louis several weeks later, an omission which came close to causing her suspen- sion tenn porarily from amateur track and field sports, but that only spurred Miss Stephens to far greater heights and she proved the sensation of the games.
 Miss Stephens has been burning up the cinders ever since. The lanky youngster has bettered prac- tically every dash record on the books, including some written by Stella Walsh and Betty Robinson, the 1928 Olympic sprint champion. At present she appears to be the best bet Uncle Sam has to win the -print laurel wreath at the Olympic games in Berlin next summer.
 At the Canadian national exhibi- tion carnival on Labor Day, she bettered recognized world records, running the 220-yard dash in 232 seconds and the 100-yard sprint in l0.4. She clipped 19 seconds off the '220" mark and was four tenths of a second under Miss Walsh,s rec ord for the shorter dash.
 Miss Stephens is scheduled to make her first appearance in the east at the national outdoor cham pionships. Limited to three events she had decided to make her bids in the l00-meter sprint, the stand ing broad jump and the shot put.

 Baers training is about over. |George Turner, who helped Abe |Feldman make Baer look terrible yesterday, left camp with a sore |nose after three rounds today, Two tomorrow against Feldman, the only sparring partner left in camp, will | be the last practice drill for Baer. There are big grins around the Baer camp today as his manager believes Louis has cracked. Word has reached here that Louis man. ,sger is asking the State Athletic Commission to bar artificial stim- usants' from the corners of both fighters.

Rivalry has always been the spice of competitive sports. And don't think for a moment it is confined to the fields where men compete
 Those charming little ladies who seek the sports headlines often turn up their pretty little noses and have their own feuds and rivalries which flame as hot as or even hot ter than the differences that crop up between male athletes.
 The keenest rivalry on the sports calendar today is the act Helen Wills Moody and her sister Cali fornian, Helen Jacobs, have been staging Mrs. Moody went all the way to Wimbledon to score over Miss Jacobs and then politely but firmly declined to give Miss Jacobs a chance to square things, sud- denly deciding against competing in the national championship meet. Neither star will admit that any but the kindliest feelings exist be- tween the two Helens but their actions on the courts speak vol umes.
 Net Always Fair Sex
 Sometimes when you are follow ing the progress of a ladies golf tournament take moment and ask one of the competitors exactly what is her opinion of her rivals chances or game. The answer ought to be enlightening. It should run along these lines: Miss Soandso? Her game is fair and she might be lucky enough to win. But, per- sonally, think she talks too much. ?

Should File At
Once Applications
For Seed Loans
Funds Can Be Secured for Purchase of
Various Kinds Of Supplies
And Feed.

Field Supervisor Sam Rankin of the
emergency crop and feed loan office at
Missoula states that applications for
emergency crop loans and feed loans
are now being received by the Lin
coin County Loan committees, with Of
fees located at Libby, County At
torney's Office, and Eureka, office of
D. A. Kennedy.
In accordance with the act of con-
gress authorizing the loans, and regu-
lations issued by Governor w. !. Myers
of the Farm Credit administration,
loans viii be made only to farmers who
are unable to obtain elsewhere seed,
fertilizers, supplies, feed or the neces-
sary credit to purchase such items.
Loans will not be made to applicants
who can obtain credit in the amount
needed from any other source, includ-
ing the production credit ASSOCIATION.
Any farmer who has the necessary
security should apply to the produce
ton credit association first. If the as
ISOLATION is unable to make him loan
in the amount needed the farmer will
receive statement to that effect and
will be considered eligible to apply for
loan from the emergency fund.
The regulations provided that the
largest loan to one farmer this year
is $500 and the minimum $40, but no
loan may be made in an amount great
er than is actually needed to cover the
cash cost Of purchasing seed, fertilizers
supplies, feed, etc. Loans will be made
for the purpose of growing and har-
vesting crops, for summer following,
for purchasing feed for livestock, but
not fofSthe purpose of purchasing live
stock or machinery, or for the pay
ment Of debts or taxes.
Loans will be made only to appli-
cants who are cooperating with the
production control program of the
Agricultural Adjustment administra-
ton.
As in the past, the security for an
emergency crop or feed loan will con-
sist of first lien on the crop financed
or on the livestock to be fed A tenant
must also give first lien by getting
the landowner to waive his claim in
favor of the crop lien; but the land
owner is in no way obligated for re-
payment of his tenants loan.
Checks in payment Of approved loans
will be issued by the Regional Ener-
gency Crop and Feed Loan Office at
Spokane; and not by the field super
visor or the loan committee.
