LANDON STARTS
RANCH VACATION
Editor of Farm Magazine
First Visitor to See
KanSan.
Sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ESTES PARK. Colo, June 26.-A
trout stream within casting distance OF
his front porch, Gov. Alf M. Landon
Of Kansas settled down today to enjoy
his first vacation in three years.
The Republican presidential nominee
arrived yesterday from Topeka. Kans.,
with his family and took possession OF
the McGraw ranch, isolated high in
Rocky Mountain National Park. They
have leased the 1.200-acre tract OF
mountains, valleys and ranges for the
Summer.
Here Gov. Landon plans to loaf IN
outdoor togs, ride, fish, read, do some
work" and "See few visitors" until he
returns to Topeka July for a special
legislative session.
His first visitor scheduled was Philip
H. Rose, Ardmore, Pa, editor of Coun-
try Gentleman.
Except for a quick dash to Topeka
for the nomination notification cere-
monies July %, Mrs. Landon expects
to remain on the ranch until Septem-
ber with the three children-Peggy
Ann, 10; Nancy 10. nearly 4, and Jack,
2k-and her mother. Mrs. S. E. Cobb.
She is planning to join the Governor
in exploring mountain trails.
Five and half miles out of Estes
Park and approached by narrow
winding, dirt road that climbs to an
ATTITUDE of 5000 feet, the ranch houses
nestle in a small valley-retreat sur
rounded by high mountains. some Sc.
verely bare, others green with pin, fl
and aspen. Behind the rustic log ano
shingle manor house rises an unus-
ually lofty peak, dubbed "Old Mar
Mountain"

operation with various agencies in
promoting better housing.
In a resolution, the 10000 members
Of Kiwanis International were called
on to combat the vicious propaganda
that Is being advanced throughout the
land at this time in behalf of foreign
ideas and communistic and dictatorial
government.
President Callen outlined four spe-
cial objectives for the coming year
securing Of adequate educational ia
cilities, economy and efficiency in
government, new leisure activities and
support of churches in their spiritual
aims.

of the Rush-Bagot agreement, provid-
ing for an unfortified border between

and the savings banks" He suggests
approaching a solution through land
conservation methods. Let Federal aid
to the farmers buy permanent benefits
for unborn generations. He looks at
the social questions involved and
would give an opportunity to the
American boys and girls who want to
stay on the farms.
Monopolies Hurt Buying Power.
On monopolies he has said: MY
experience has convinced me that mo-
nopoly is bad for every one, including
business itself. Men in a monopolis-
tic position aren't on their toes fight
ing. Prices are fixed and maintained
SO high that buying power is shut on.
If technical Improvements are made.
the profits aren't generally fairly
passed on to labor and the consumer.
All other groups outside the fold OF
monopoly, particularly agriculture, are
put at disadvantage, and opportu-
nifty Is closed to the small. I believe
we've got to attack the evils of mo-
nopoly frankly and resolutely and re-
quire the Government to keep a fair
competitive system in force at all
times. 1t will not do to think that we
can put monopoly on its good behavior
and forget about it."
He sticks to certain fundamental
principles but applies them to q
changing world. Many of them (our
problems) were created by . swift
entry into an industrial age. We, o1
all the world, have Travelled farther
in that age because we were machine
minded, but by our very genius We
have made our own troubles more
perplexing-we must face realities.
There is much discussion whether
reform Of our social and economic sys-
TEN should go before recovery. OF
whether recovery should precede re-
form. My answer Is that the great
est reform We could have is recovery

building and loan companies to col
lect, F. H. A. carried out its insurance
contract and assumed possession Of
the property.
Administration officials are not
faced, however. with the necessity of
opening stores to dispose of their
wares. Gradually, the refrigerators
and other devices will be liquidated
and part of the loss recovered by
three procedures-private sale by
negotiation, under bids, or by transfer
with compensation for F. H. A., to
other Federal agencies and services,
chiefly the Army and Navy.
Federal statute provides this be
done under regulations of the Pro-
curement Division of the Treasury
Department Officials expressed the
belief most of the ice boxes will go
to officers quarters in Army posts,
with credit to F. H. AS account.
In discussing their collection of
second hand goods, officials made it
clear defaults on more than 100000
loans to date total less than 1000.
Their percentage of recovery of loss
on repossessed household equipment
is higher than that Of private in
dustry, they contended.
Payments Met Here.
Washingtonians, however. will not
have a chance to buy a repossessed
refrigerator from F. H. A. at second
hand prices unless they go outside
the District because borrowers here
thus far have met their payments.
F. H. A. officials said it was inter-
esting to note that the average of
delinquencies was about the same in
all 48 States, despite the fact that,
in % States and the District, statutes
prevent securing a deficiency judg-
ment after goods bought on INSTALL
ment or straight credit have been
repossessed. In the other Is States
there are laws allowing deficiency
judgments to be obtained.
There are innumerable cases." Off
cials asserted, where delinquent bor-
rowers have reinstated their indebted
ness on monthly basis and are now
meeting their obligations. Where
these results are obtained, it is un-
necessary to take possession of ap-
pliances on which loans were made"

The Term Quinn

The term Quipu, meaning knot,
consisted of a main cord to which
other cords of various colors were
tied. Red cord symbolized soldiers,
yellow indicated gold, white repre-
scented silver, green was for corn.
A single knot meant ten, two single
knots meant twenty, double knots
meant one hundred. These knots
were not only used for reckoning,
says Pearson's London Weekly, but
they kept the records of the EN-
pire of the Incas. They were used
for sending orders to the Army, for
registering births and deaths, for
communicating with various provin-
s.-A-en in charge of them were
called knot-officers. When an officer
appeared from another province
with the Quipu he stated whether it
referred to war, to census, to crops.
The record of cattle was kept on
the Quipu.
