Must Sign Farm
Pldns By June !

All farmers in Big Horn coun-
ty are reminded by the Agri-
cultural Conservation office
that they must sign farm plans
by June / for participation in
1889 in order to receive benefit
payments this year.
The fact that they partici-
pated in the program in the
past does not automatically
make the farmers members of
the association for 1889, hence
the Importance of signing these
papers by June /.
Further advice from the As
ISOLATION office states that no
payments will be made in 1889
on idle farms. The county COM
mittee will consider idle any
farm, single or combined, if
normal cropping operations are
not carried out on the farm
in 1889 by the owner or tenant
residing on or near the farm.
Unless in 1889 an acreage equal
to not less than one-half of
the acres in the oil-depleting
acreage allotment for the farm
is seeded for harvest, harvested,
summer fallowed or seeded to
legumes, grasses or small grains
for pasture in 1899, the farm
will be considered an idle farm
except where the state COM
mittee determines that such
cropping operation was prevent
ed by uncomfortable natural
causes.
Farmers in Big Horn county
are urged to heed these in
structions for the 1889 agricul-
tural conservation program.

POPPY DAY GIFTS
TO GO TO NEEDY

Every penny of tie money
contributed for memorial pop
pies on Poppy Day, Saturday,
May 81, will go to aid disabled
veterans and the families left in
aid by the death OF disability
of a veteran, according to Mrs.
William Walker, Poppy chair
man of the Hardin unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
Distribution of peoples will
be conducted by volunteer work
ers and all contributions will
90 in their entirety into the
Rehabilitation and Child Wei
fare funds of the Auxiliary.
The Dimes, quarters and dol
lars, which are dropped into the
boxes of the poppy workers on
Poppy Day form the principal
source of support for the relief
and welfare work carried out
by the Auxiliary throughout
the year. There is a vast am
cunt to be done for the dis
abled veterans, for their famil-
les and for the families of those
who have died, and those in
distress because of patriotic
sacrifices are entitled to al,
the help possible, Mrs. Walker
said.
While the government ha'
made provision for the care anc
compensation of the war dis,
abled, the aid of the Legion
and Auxiliary is often needed tt
bring the veterans case prop.
erly before the government. A
great number of the disabled
do not come within the provis.
ions of the law and receive NJ
compensation. Real hardship
faces their families when they
become unable to REQUIRE hos
pitalization. Naturally, thei,
comrades in the Legion and thu
American Legion Auxiliary are
their first source of aid, it wa!
stated.
Through wearing a poppy or
Poppy Day, everyone can hely
the Auxiliary to be ready to re,
spond to the calls for hell
which will come to us during tn,
year ahead. The poppy, which

improvements Will Add To
Pleasure Of Fdns
During Rodeo =

Rodeo fans will have an easy
time of seeing the bucking hors-
es and wild steers at the Amer
lean Legion rodeo here June
"a and IS as the fairgrounds are
being remodeled.
The improvements are being
sponsored by Big Horn county
and the American Legion. The
work is being done by the WPA
under the supervision OF MIKE
Roche.
The road to the grounds from
the railroad tracks on south
Center avenue as well as the
parking space inside the grounds
have been graded and graveled.
All the buildings have received
several coats of white paint,
adding much to their appear
ance.
The grandstand has been
painted inside and out and re-
paired and additional bleacherS
have been erected. The race
track has been repaired and will
be painted white entirely
around.
The rodeo chutes have been
rebuilt and relocated so that
they are at an angle with the
grandstand thus allowing bet
ter vision to the spectators
seated there. Every wild horse,
steer and Bramha bull will be
closer and easier to see than at
last years show.
Baseball fans will also find
added pleasure in watching the
American Legion team in action
on the local diamond as the
field has been relocated offering
a better view. The field as it is
now located will make playing
easier as no player will face the
sun as they had to in previous
games.

City Making Test
Of Soap Creek Oil

Two blocks of city streets are
being oiled with oil from the
Soap creek field to determine
whether or not the oil can be
used for hard Surfacing.
The two blocks directly east
of the postoffice have been
covered with oil and gravel and
the experimentation will take
place there.
The project is entirely spon-
sored by the city and all work
done is furnished by Hardin.
If the oil can be used it
would be a saving of more than
five cents per gallon as the
Soap creek oil sells for less
than two cents per gallon as
compared to seven cents for
regular read oil.

Charleston Market Kept
On Site Since About 1890

The old Charleston market In New
York has undergone extensive re-
pairs more than once since It was
first erected on its present site some
time between 1790 and 1905. Though
antedated by a beef market, which
stood from early days almost where
the city hall Is now, and by q fish
mart established In ITO on an East
bay water lot opposite the end Of
Queen street, the present institution
seems to have been the first general
market In Charleston.
Il stands on made ground where
formerly q creek ran, says the
Charleston News and Courier. BY
1893 this had been reduced to q mar
row canal, which stretched through
privately owned land from the
Cooper river as far as Church street.
On March 10, 17Os. Charles Cotes-
worth Pickney, John Deas, Thomas
Jones, Sims White, John Wyatt and
Mary Lingard gave an indenture by
which they allowed the city council
to lay out q street 100 feet wide
through their land, from Meeting
street to the Cooper, and to build q
public market or markets therein.
The buildings were not to be put
UP for two years, but once there
were to remain. A plat annexed to
the deed shows the canal, crossed at
East Bay (then Bay street, BY the
Governors bridge" and the three
projecting buildings.

Pisa Tower Was Meant
To Lean, Historians Say

Whatever opinions may exist con-
corning the leaning of the famous
Tower Of Pisa, the tower was built
leaning and has not wavered a frac-
ton Of an inch in the 600 years
since it was finished. according to
historians at the University Of Pisa.
Although popularity believed to
have leaned some time after the
Fourteenth century due to the sink
ing Of the earth under the monu-
ment, records show, the scholars
assert that when construction
reached height Of about 80 feet the
foundation had ceded to one side by
seven inches.
Then, under the supervision Of Bo-
nanno da Pisa, the famous archi-
tect and sculptor who had carved In
bronze the great door for the Duo
mo In Pisa, 1t Is believed that Bo-
nanno decided to preserve this lean.
both from a desire to attempt a new
application Of states and because
Of the fame that would come to
him II he succeeded.
In defense Of this explanation,
it is pointed out that towers similar
in design to the one in Pisa were
common throughout northern Italy.
during the Tenth, Eleventh and
Twelfth centuries, and that Bonanno
might well have wished to be dis
tinguished for something more than
a bell tower to supplement Pisa's
new cathedral and chapel. Thus, al
though Bonanno did not live to see
the tower completed, he had so far
advanced its construction when he
died that his successors, Guglielmo
d'Innsbruck and Tommaso Pisano,
had no choice but to continue In
his footsteps.

BOYS Ride Torto,ses

Turtle riding is one Of the favor
tie games down at Nassau in the
Bahamas. The native boys at Mas
sau love to play jockey to 700-pound
sea turtles. Their method is to
dive for a big salt water tortoise
lying quietly on the bottom in the
transparent water and grab the for
ward end Of his shell just back Of
his neck. It's a dangerous way to
mount the animal, because II he
draws in his neck and elects to
stay down, the riders hands may
be caught between the turtles neck
and his shell, and the rider has to
stay down with him. However, the
boys know just how to do it The
turtle comes to the surface, and
the ride begins. The only trouble
is that there isn't any way of guild
ing this steed; the boy has to 20
where his mount happens to feel
like swimming.
