TO KIWANIANS

Safe and Sane Driving" was
the topic presented to the mem
bers Of the local KlSanis club
at it's regular Wednesday lun-
cheon by John K. Rankin of the
Rankin Insurance Agency here.
Mr.. Rankin read portions
from two articles entitled
And Sudden Death" and
Better Off Dead" written by
J. c. FurnaS.
The first article appeared in
the Readers Digest" about
two years ago and received ma
tion-Wide attention for its ef-
fective presentation of the ap-
paling risks of motoring, while
the second is a sequel on a
similar theme.
I'm the drive for safety on
the highways, it has been found
that statistics will not bring
home the point, thus these two
articles translate into reality OF
blood and agony the pain and
horror of savage mutilation that
figures exclude" stated Mr.
Rankin.
The speaker also quoted fig
ures on stopping distances OF
cars at speeds from 20 to 70
! miles an hour, the time when
! accidents and deaths occur, and
eleven rules for safe driving for
everyday use.
Further remarks were made
on this subject by C.. G. Quinn

Crop Insurance
For 1910 Offered

Every Big Horn county farm
er who intends to plant wheat
for harvest in 1910 is eligible
for "all-risk" crop insurance
protection now being offered by
the Federal Crop Insurance cor
poration, according to George
Miller, of the county ~agricult-
ural conservation committees.
Under the crop insurance
program, either or both the
operator and landlord may in
sure his interest in the crop
The policy covers loss from any
unavoidable cause and assures
the grower SO or rs per cent
of his normal production from
the acreage insured, depending
on the type of policy. The same
premium rate and inSurable:
yield are available to both the
operator, or share-tenant, and
landlord of a farm. The interest
that an owner, operator, or ten
ant may insure depends on the
interest he has in the crop.
Mr. Miller gave the following
example: With a farm of 100
acres with an average yield OF
IL bushels average production.
or 1900 bushels, an owner oper-
ator could insure up to Is per
cent of the 1900 bushels average
production, or 900 bushels. II
the farm is operated by 3 ten
ant on a Observation-Disclosures
division of the crop, the owner
could insure 800 bushels as his
interest of the crop, and the
tenant could insure 900 bushels
as his portion. In case OF
loss, the indemnity would be
divided on the same basis.
| Mr.. Miller stressed that all
applications for insurance. must
be made before the farmer
seeds his crop; this fan for
winter wheat, and NEXT spring
for spring wheat. Pref1fIEms
must be paid at the time applf-
! cation is made.
i He also explained that this
years insurance procedure was
simplified or "streamldned" as
compared with last years. This
year it is necessary only to ap-
ply at the county office and
pay the premium to obtain the
insurance. County offices have
full information on every wheat
farm in the county, and it is
merely a matter Of form to in
sure the crop after the appH-
cation is made.
For those farmers who are
unable to make immediate pay
ment, advances ON agricultural
conservation payments may be
applied to premiums. This pro-
vision, which last year was linn
tied to spring wheat, applies
this year to winter wheat as
well.

HOPKINS TAXES
 WITNESS STAND
 IN OWN DEFENSE
Declares He Did Every thing to Keep Politics
 Out of WPA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-A Sen- ate Subcommittee today heard Har- " L. Hopkins testify he has done everything in his power to keep petty partisan politics out of the WPA.'
 Answering questions concerning his qualification as Secretary of Commerce, Hopkins said:: If every body had the intimate experience with business during the past six years, it is myself"
 At another point, Hopkins said. If I had the job of WPA Adminis- trator to do over again, would not make any political speeches"
 Hopkins emphatically denied he ever made the remark: We spend and spend, we tax and tax and we elect and elect"
 Several newspaper correspondents had attributed the remark to Hop kins.
 Testifying further, Hopkins said: Anybody who knows anything at all about practical politics in count ies in America must not be surprised even that some WPA officials were coerced into it."

 Nighifdll LANDING FIELD IS
 ROLLED BY TRA(T0R Snow Shoes Are Used 10 Provide Runway in
 SIoko District

Two members of the party mar ooned in the rough Sloko River country when a Northern Airways plane piloted by Les Cook on a flight between Atlin and Juneau made . tricky forced landing two days ago, on account of motor trouble, were landed safely at the Polaris-Taku mine field in rulsequah today by Marine Aiiways pilot Lon Cope, who with his own party was himself temporarily stranded at the accident site when unfavorable weather halted his take-off yesterday. The balance of the stranded party are expected to be removed before niGht- fall and taken to TuIsequah.
 Radio advices from Cope received at the Marine Airways station in Juneau. state that the take-off from the improvised emergency field in the Sloko district was negotiated this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Twenty-Five minutes later, Cope landed the plane in safety at Tsllsecual,.
 Eighteen inches of fresh snow on the Polaris-Taku field prohibited return trip until a tractor could roll out a satisfactory runway for a take-off. At Il o'clock Cope was still being held there.
 With the aid of snow shoes, the marooned party was able to pack a soc foot runway at the accident site to permit Cope's plane to take to the air with light load of two pas- sengers. However field conditions at Tllsequah were no better than the snow covered sand bar field on the Sloko. The Marine Airways Fair- child was able to land but consider able packing of last nights IS inch snow is necessary to provide take- off.
 Authentic sources here believe the removal of the remaining five men to Tulsequah will be effected today.
 The names of the two men trans- ported from the mishap scene were AiOb Obv1Ak1dblCs I0SAlpCAS VI b&lC ReA4 " initially forced down were Les Cook, pilot of the Canadian Northern Airways plane. his four passengers Fred Kane, Fred Graham, Nick Nay- avik. and man named Landry.

BRIT. PREMIER BEGINS FARLEY
 WITH Il DUCE
Neqotiafions Reach Grave Stage Over African
 Colonial Deal

ROME, Jan. 11.-Great Britain's Premier Neville Chamberlain was warmly welcomed to Rome today as he sought to learn Mussolinis terms of cooperation with efforts to bring appeasement to Europe.
 Less than two hours after a spec tacular welcome was staged for Chamberlain at the railway station, both Chamberlain and Mussolini were in Il Duce's office conferring.
 Negotiations opened with cordial atmosphere, but it became apparent after about an hour of session that the appeasement of Europe was con- fronted with grave difficulties.
 Italy left no doubt that the first problem to be ironed out is their claims for a new colonial deal in Africa at the expense of France.
 France has already registered her objections to Premier Chamberlain's dealing with this issue.
