u. S. I'm RED"
ON INSURING
OF WHEAT CROP

Washington, Nov. 11-Uncle Sam
went into the red" in his first eff
fort to insure American farmers
against crop losses from drouth,
floods, hail, insects and other nat
ural causes.
The Federal Crop Insurance cor
poration, which last year inaugu-
rated a nationwide program OF
crop insurance for wheat, reported
recently that it paid indemnities in
excess of its premium collections
from insuring farmers.
Government policies were taken
out by 165 ISL farmers on their 1899
crop. They paid 6,769,120 bushels
of wheat as premiums. About a
fourth of the policyholders, or AZ,
400, reported crop losses and re-
ceived indemnities totaling S,461,
730 bushels.
Thus, the government insurance
corporations losses amounted to
1851 $40 bushels of grain, of cash
equivalent of about $1,885,OO0 at
current prices, The losses were
taken from a $2O,OO0,0O0 capital
stock with which congress invested
the agency.
Leroy K. Smith, manager of the
corporation, said that indemnities
exceeded premiums because the
1889 wheat yield in 81 major wheat
states was 10 per cent below aver
age. Crop losses were particularly
extenive and severe, he said, in five
states with the largest acreage in
Texas and South Dakota.
In theory, the insurance program
is designed to make premiums and
indemnities balance, Smith said,
however, that fluctuations in each
could be expected from year to year
Plans are being made, farm of.

PATRIOTIC PARTISANSHIP

Raymond J. Kelly, National Com
mander of the American Legion,
recently gave the nation fine ad-
vice when he said: If you must
become partisan, let it be solely
an aggressive partisanship for the
American way of life
There is one great issue in the
world today--an issue which tran
sends partisan politics, ethno-
logical differences and geograph-
ical boundaries. That issue
is freedom. OF all the great ma
tions on this troubled earth, we
alone still possess that freedom for

to say what we please, and to pub

NEW PERMANENT CORN
CRIB PLAN AVAILABLE

To meet the demand for a perm
anent small single corn crib plan,
the University Farm agricultural
engineering division has added a
new blueprint to the list of farm
building plans available to Mime
sofa farmers.
The new plan gives complete de-
tails for constructing a crib Z feet
wide, 80 feet long and feet high
at the low side. length may be
varied to increase or decrease the
holding capacity. The 32-foot size
! holds $50 bushels and materials for
it cost about $3.50.
The design suggested and permits
the addition of another unit at a
later date to make a regular double
| crib.
Plans for this and many other
farm buildings may be purchased
at 10 cents each from the Bulletin
Room University Farm, st. Paul.
A complete free list of available
plans may be secured from either
the Bulletin Room or a county
agents office.

Public Resentment the Only Curb
Since the World War, Great Bri-
tain's national debt increased only
$4,000, 100000, up to the end of last
year.
In the nine years since depres-
sion struck the United States, the
national debt has increased more
than s25,OOO,OOO,OOO.
In those two sets of figures you
see wildly illustrated the magni-
tude and gravity of our debt prob
lem. No nation in the world has
been so prodigal as we in spending
what we have not earned. In no
nation has the national debt-which
means mortgage against all that
we have, and all that may be pro-
duced by our children-soared so
rapidly or SO high.
Worst of all. the debt grows more
menacing every day. The national
budget is almost as far cut of bal
ance now as it was early in the
depression. In spite of the highest
and greatest number of taxes in
our national history, the Federal
government continues to spend bill.

 Congress

HYDE PARK, Aug. 10.-Presi- dent Roosevelt turned today to the clerical duties of his position. The Chief Executive retired to his study to attach the Presidential sigma ture to 28 bills passed by the recent Congress. Nine bills drew the Presidential veto.
 Most of the measures signed by the Roosevelt pen were resolutions, routine in fashion. One measure furthers the New Deals Good Neighbor" policy It provides for closer cooperation between the United States and the Latin Amer ican countries as outlined at the Lima conference.
 Among the bills vetoed by the President was measure providing for payment of pensions to more than 150 orphans of Civil War vet erans. A checkup revealed that most of the so-called orphans" were born from year to many years after the war between the States.

 Russians Made a Start
 And the results will be the first complete survey of the area all though early Russian explorers charted sections of it and the Navy, Coast Guard, c. and c. Survey and other agencies have done some ex- ploring.
 After the Aleutians have been completely charted it is expected insurance companies will under write cargoes carried over the new route.
 Incidentally, the survey is ex- pected to explode number of leg ends about disappearing islands in the area. The Coast and Geodetic Survey lays these stories to tricks of fog and to the volcanic origin of the islands. Some do change ap- pearance and a few have active volcanoes.

 We went over to see Denny in his office in the national headquar- ters of the United Mine Workers. It used to be the exclusive Univer- sity club and still looks like it. The patrons are different, though. No University club with full quota of ex-football players ever housed such big men. Labor leaders don't come in pocket sizes. They come in 20O-pound jobs.
 Denny and Brother John are no exceptions. Both are big. Denny looks like John, with large head and larger head of hair. His face is not so rough cut as Johns.
 We hadn't been in the building two minutes until we discovered dignity is being added to Denny. The staff calls him AID. Lewis. Denny sounds bit familiar, you must admit. Denny is more ge- nial sort than John L. He laughs with you when he talks. He laughs occasionally into the telephone. When John smiles it is newsphoto worthy.

 Saving 100 Miles
 Now, for the first time in his- tory, accurate knowledge of navi- gation conditions in the Aleutians will be made available.
 When the survey is complete, commercial ships can follow the great circle route from Seattle to Yokohama, saving something like 100 miles one way. That's about 10 hours sailing time for war vintage freighter, five or six hours for new one
 More important, the great circle route takes ships north of the Aleutian islands where they escape the gales that sweep the present route.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. = Louis "Lepke" Buchalter is an East Side boy who made bad-so bad that he's worth $l0,000 to anyone who turns him in.
 The Federal Bureau of Investlga- tion calls him one of the most want ed criminals in the United States. Prosecutor Thomas Dewey says the fugitive is waging war of eXtermln- ation against members and former members of his gang.
 Not a great deal is known about this shifty-eyed big shot charged with preying on the fur, bakery, gar- ment, and trucking businesses in the New York area.
 Two years ago he jumped bail of $l0,OOO in racketeering case. Now 25 FBI agents, 25 New York cops and six agents of the Treasury De- partments narcotics division (he's been linked to narcotics ring, tool have full-time jobs hunting him.
 Only twice in the two years have police picked up the trail; both times it was hours cold. Dewey thinks one reason he's been so slip pery is that he has plenty of money. And another is the fact that he is little known.
 The spotlight has played on most of the underworld big shots who have been killed or caught, but not on Lepke-until just recently.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Off the coast of Alaska, Uncle Sam is chart ing new trans-Pacific route that interests both sea commerce and the U s. navy.
 It will run through waters about which so little is known now that insurance companies won't assume the risk on cargoes shipped that way.
 Hurry, Say the Admirals
 The Navy isn't saying much about the job because it's being done by the U. s. Coast and Geo. detic Survey. But the admirals have asked the surveyors to hurry. And, where it doesn't interfere with needs of sea commerce, the Navy has asked that information impor- tant to national defense be kept secret.
 Why? Because the new route will run through the Aleutian islands that extend about 1000

 The fugitive is 42, has a wife and son, Is; is about 51s feet tall; weighs 16O, has brown hair and eyes, large, straight, blunt-ended nose, and big ears. And the bill for chasing him is given as s2Oo,oOo a year.
