INSURANCE PREMIUMS MUST
BE PAID BY JANUARY 8

Wheat growerc in Washington who
applied for crop insurance policies
on their 1899 winter wheat crop will
have until January 81 to pay the
premiums which will put their policies
in force, it was announced today by
Archie M. Camp, State Crop Insur-
ance Supervisor.
"All crop insurance premiums must
be paid by January 3D." said Camp.
'The only exception to that dead,
line is in the case of those growers
whose premium notices expire after
the closing date. In that case the ex-
piration stated in the premium notice
will be the final date at which pay
ments may be received in county of
fices. -
More than 1850 wheat growers in
Washington have applied for insur-
ance protection on their 1889 CROP
under the new wheat crop insurance
program which guarantees either so
or rs percent of the average yield
against all unavoidable losses, Camp
said.
Practically all growers have now
received notices of the amount of
premium due, he pointed out, empha.
sizing that the crop insurance pro-
lection is not operative on a farm UNI
til the premium has been paid, and
that growers will not be able to get
insurance on their 1889 winter crop
if premiums are not paid within the
time limit announced.
AS of January 1, national officers
of the Federal Crop Insurance Corpor-
alton reported that more than 27O,-

Gl0ri6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

 Golden-haired Bess Johnson, love- ly radio actress, thinks that any woman who wears evening clothes 8 great deal ought to consider arm and shoulder grooming routines every bit as important as those for hair and complexion.
 Tt seems to me that all too few girls worry enough about the ap- pearance of their elbows" said Miss Johnson. "Yet 1t really is simple enough to keep ones elbows soft, smooth and pretty. The primary need is soap and water, of course and a good complexion brush, which should be used daily.
 q massage cream into my elbows several nights a week." the radio star continued. And I rub lemon juice into them three or four times month. Lemon juice is a perfect bleach and, in addition, it seems to tone the skin on my elbows, gives it an alive, satiny look"
 Miss Johnson believes that mas- sage tTcdIlllCllNo dAC PCAASSs ASA ~ ducing overweight arms.
 "You can massage your own arms" she pointed out, but it's more effective to have a profess sional masseur do the job for you. If you do it yourself, first cover one arm with thick layer of cold cream, then, using the other hand, massage the creamed arm from wrist to shoulder.
 Movements should be rotary as well as up and down. and they should be brisk and deep. Spend at least fifteen minutes on each arm. Afterward, remove what is left of the cream, pat on witch hazel or skin tonic"
 And here's an arm exercise which Miss Johnson does regularly to keep her arms supple and slender:
 Stand erect, holding a baseball or something round of comparable size in right hand. Without bending body, swing arm backward, then up, over and forward and back to position, making a complete circle. The motion is similar to that used by a pitcher winding up" Repeat ten times. Place baseball in left hand and repeat again.

so YOUR EARS WON'T WORK?
 Many deaf persons have enjoyed marked improvement in hearing from making faces" in 8 systematic way, that is, in regular seances twice a day or oftener, in private, before mirror.
 I do not promise these special exercises will cure deafness or tin- nitls (head noises). I merely say htat many sufferers have reported benefits from them, and the exer- cises can do no harm in any case. Having heard all possible smart cracks on the theme I will not con- slider you a donkey if you do the exercise or an ass if you don't. Here
 I. Yawn. Throw your face as widely open as possible without dislocating your jaw, la Joe E. Brown, and when you get thorough ly opened up make believe you are your own dentor politely requesting you to open a little wider, please. The object is to produce feeling of tension in the muscles at the back of your throat.
 2. Swallow. Having yawned pro- digiously half a dozen times, take a slow, full swallow, or rather half a dozen swallows, of water or of air if no water handy.
 3. Money Face. Protrude the chin as far as you can, then draw it back as far as you can. Draw the upper lip as far in and out as you can, at the same time dilating the nostrils. Make these grimaces with all possible emphasis. If at first you are not so good at it, never mind, keep on trying and you'll recover more or less control of the muscles of expression.
 4. Wiggle Ears. Grasp both ear lobes and pull them first backward and upward, then forward and downward, so you can feel the pull inside the ears, Push the little tab in front of the ear opening in and out of the ear opening with your finger. Now make your ears move by raising or lowering brow or scalp; frown and wrinkle the forehead; relax and draw the scalp toward the back of the head. Do these movements rhythmically and delib- erately, each from six to dozen times. If at first your muscles fail to respond actively, never mind, just keep trying and eventually you will succeed.
 5. Snarl and Hike. Contract mus cles about the eyes in a squint. Hold it, and contract muscles about forehead, in a scowl. Hold it and contract muscles about the cheeks and lips to unsheathe the trusty old canine teeth. Hold it and con- tract the throat muscles in the posi- tion to sound the ''k" when you say ::hike." Hold the whole frightful thing, especially the "k" for a few moments - but beware of being caught in the act.
 Perhaps three minutes each morning or each morning and eve ming should be devoted to these exercises. q have monograph on deafness which contains detailed in- structions, in case the printer balls things up or you forget to save this clipping-ask for it and enclose stamped envelope bearing your ad- dreSS.)

What is the secret of Dorothy's bright confidence, the calm with which she meets life's problems?
 Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact" said William James, the great American philosopher.
 Such brave words as these give Dorothy strength to overcome dis appointments and heartaches.
 Her secret of joy she found in the teachings of the loved Greek philosopher, Epicurus, who shows us how to get great pleasure from simple things.
 Indeed, the great philosophers open new worlds to us. AS Ber- trand Russell, modern English phil osopher, says: "The mere things a man is interested in, the more op- portunities for happiness he has, since if he loses one thing he can fall back on another"
 Find new sources of strength, joy in the words of the great phil osophers. Our 32-page booklet gives you the vital teachings of Epicurus. Plato. Aristotle. others.
