WHEAT PREMIUMS
AID In REDUCING
MARKET SURPLUS

Wheat growers who pay pre-
miums on the new "all risk" wheat
crop insurance policies offered by
the Federal Crop Insurance. Cor
poration are making use of an en-
tirely new outlet for surplus
wheat, according to Paul E. Nys-
from, County Crop Insurance SUI
pervisor, who has announced that
more than Il growers in Washing
ton County have made arrange
ments for payment of premiums
in order that their policies may
go into effect
When farmers pay their crop
insurance premiums they are CO.
operating with other producers in
removing surplus wheat from the
market" said Mr. Nystrom. Under
the crop insurance plan, he ex-
planned, premiums paid in by the
farmers are kept by the Crop In
surance Corporation in the form of
stpred wheat reserve. This
reserve can be used only for the
purpose of paying crop losses of
insured farmers" Mr.. Nystrom
declared THUS, every bushel of
wheat that is paid into the re-
serve, or that is bought for the
reserve with the farmers premium
money, is definitely off the mar
ket Every farmer who pays a
crop insurance premium is getting
more than a guarantee that he
will have wheat to sell next year.
He is also assisting in a general
cooperative effort of wheat grow
ers over the country in cutting
down the surplus and improving
prices of wheat"
'In fact" continued Mr. Nys-
from, many farmers are going
further than the payment of pre-
miums on 1899 policies. Many of
them see that the crop insurance
reserve is a good place for cheap
wheat, and are making payment
on their 1910 policies. They get
insurance protection for their
crops, and know that there is a
good chance that wheat will be
worth more when they get it back
to cover losses which are sure to
come sooner or later" -

Jesus had cast out demon who
had possessed a man and made him
blind and dumb. The Pharisees
could not deny the miracle but at
tributed it to the power of Belize
bub, prince of the demons. Jesus
closed their mouths by pointing out
that Satan did not work against him
self, and went on to speak solemn
words regarding their and our re-
sponsibility for what we say.
A day of judgment is coming,
when we shall answer for the idle
and wicked words which we speak.
While we would not bring condem-
nation upon those who indulge in the
innocent pleasantries of life by max
ing too severe an application of
these words, neither should we de-
stroy their evident import by fail
ing to apply them to our daily con-
versation. One need but listen to the
casual small talk of men and women
in public places to realize that we
need to give attention to the mat
ter of elevating not only the CONVEX
sation of others but our own as well
to a nobler and more helpful level
Surely Christians should speak for
the glory of God on every occasion
and in each circumstance of life.
The way to accomplish this worthy
nurpose, and the only way, is to
have the heart and life filed with

Character reveals itself through
the words and deeds of man. He
may try to conceal his real spiritual
condition and may assume an out
ward appearance of piety but he
need not say many words. nor meet
many of life's problems, before his
true condition is revealed.
Our lesson for today touches pri-
marily on the matter of the words
of men, presenting first Gods COM
mand that in speaking we are to
show reverence for His name, and
then leading up to the expression
of that reverence in abstinence
from swearing and from idle talk
l. Reverence Commanded (Exod
2O:O.
The forbidden thing is the taking
of the name of the Lord in vain"
Our use of the word vain" carries
the meaning of useless, without
purpose or meaning" This is part
of what is in mind in this command
ment, for the name of Jehovah is
sacred and is to be reverenced as
standing for the eternal God. 1t is
never to be used carelessly, or for
Frivolous purpose. All too often we
tell jokes or stories which have no
real purpose or meaning except to
elicit laugh and in them we use
the name of God. We all need to
exercise care at that point.
The Hebrew word translated
''vain" has the additional meaning
Of ''evil'' and ''falsehood." Men are
SO bold that they may even use the
name of God to support themselves
IN lie. God hears and will in no
wise hold them guiltless.

 For 10000 Children
Fleet of Busses Operated By Connecticut Company in Transporting Youngsters; School Tickets Available

With the schools of the state now humming with activity, the Connecticut company has once again resumed its annual job of transporting children to and from school on its motor coaches and street cars, and the number being carried on school trips daily this year is approximately 10000, com- pany officials estimated today. The company Is furnishing transporta- ton to school children both on its regularly scheduled coaches and trolleyS and on special busses con- tracted for by local boards of edu- cation.
 School Tickets
 Where the youngsters ride lily on regularly scheduled runs, they receive their trips to and from school at AZ cents through the purchase of the familiar school tickets" Tn some cases, where chil- dren must travel from one town to another for their schooling, particu- larly with respect to high school education, local authorities pur- chase the tickets from the com pany and furnish them without charge to the pupils. When Con- necticut Company vehicles are en- gagged as school busses, local au- thorities make arrangements with the company to carry group of specified size each day.
 Officials of the Connecticut Com pany are insistent that the bus and car operators take every possible step to safeguard the youngsters while enroute to and from school, and urge parents to cooperate in the matter of safety by explaining to their children the dangers in. volved in leaving their seats, thrust ing arms out of windows and in re- fusing to heed the warnings of the operators with respect to boarding and leaving vehicles. Statistics have revealed that present street transit facilities are the safest mode of travel, so there is little chance of accident.

HEINMANN URGES
 CREDIT LENIENCY
Character Should Be De. termining Factor in Ap-
 praisal of Relief Cases

Credit leniency in flood stricken areas. with credit appraisal based mainly on character and the past paying record, was urged by Henry H. Heimann, executive manager or the National Association of Credit Men today in a special bulletin to the associations 10000 wholesaling, manufacturing and banking mem- bers.
 Although some capital impair ment may have resulted from flood or wind damage" the credit eXecu- tive declares, leach business organ ization should base It's credit accept ance from the stricken area on the customers past performance. This is an excellent indication of the customers character. If the cus- toner has been a responsible credit risk heretofore his good character warrants more lenient credit terms than usual"
 MT. Heimann emphasized that this policy has proven most helpful in the past. Manufacturers and job- bers, who have pursued this policy in regard to orders from firms faced with unusual problems because of natural unforseeable disaster, have found the policy justified both from the humanitarian and the business point of view.
 "The character factor in credit transcends the traditional capacity and capital factors. In special cases, such as the present catas- trophe develops, credit executives rely less on statements of financial standing and make little inquiry about capacity. Where character has been sound, orders are forwarded and more liberal terms granted be- cause previous experiences reveal that firms of character will always discharge their obligations" he states.
