so long as the great bulk OF
Federal activities IS centered here,
however, the F. B. I. should remain

Mr.. Carusi said il is particularly
important that the bureau remain

Recalling that the French people

moment in French history"
He explained that he was seek

funds. which have been frozen in
this country, enough meat to sup
ply one extra pound per month for
each of Frances war prisoners,
and to buy sweaters and socks for
one out of every three of the pris-
oners.
He pointed out that the extra
pound of meat would give each of
the men a ration of three pounds
per month-"enough to keep body
and soul together during the win
ter"
He said he hoped the frozen
French funds could be used to buy
the meat either in this country or
In South America. and that the food
and clothing could be distributed by
the International Red Cross.
The Ambassador recognized that
1t is Germany's obligation to feed
and clothe the prisoners she is hold
ing, but said the ration provided is
insufficient and Germany claims she
cannot supply more because of the
British blockade.
Increased Relief Sought.
The Ambassador said he also

Viehy Reports
8y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
V1CHY, Unoccupied France, Nov.
10.-A Colonial Ministry representa-
tive today declared the fall of Jibuti,
Red Sea port of French Somaliland,
was imminent.
He said that Rear Admiral Rene
Platon, secretary of colonies, was
due back tomorrow from a flying
visit to Jibuti, which French sources
said was menaced by a sea blockade
and repeated British attacks.
In an unexpected press conference
following Admiral Platon's secret
trip, the spokesman said Jibuti had
been subjected to "a blockade which
must make it fall sooner or later
because it is impossible TO hold on
indefinitely when there is nothing
to eat"
Went to Take Tribute.
The only reason that had been
given for Admiral Platon's trip was
that he had gone to take the French
governor and the military and
civilian population the tribute Of
the government and the comfort
of his presence
The speaker added that there had
been an exchange of kilograms be-
tween Governor Gen. Nouiahetes
and 1t. Gen. Alan Gordon Cunning
ham, commander in chief of British
forces in East Africa.
Jibuti has long been reported In
desperate condition as result OF q
British blockade. A recent Vichy
announcement OF British-Free
French invasion was denied by Lon
don sources which explained that a
native officer in French Somalllano
outpost had started the story as q
ruse to enable him to desert with
his men to the Free French acros.
the border.
Announcement Due Soon.
The ministry spokesman handed
out a pamphlet containing dats
about Jibuti and recalling recen
events there obviously as background
for what was termed an important
announcement to be made tomorrow
He said it was absurd" for the
British to argue that they were try
ing to forestall a possible German
move against French Somaliland.
He repeated assertions of the Ji-
butt radio that the population hac

beri" and reduced to eating nettles

WHEAT CROP INSURANCE
PROGRAM

Crop insurance representatives
from the various townships met
Aug. S, at the county conservation
office to receive final instructions
on the 1912 wheat crop insurance
program. August is designated as
the month for farmers to make ap-
plication for insurance on their
1912 wheat crop. The crop insur-
ance program has grown rapidly
during the last three years, and it
is expected that a larger number of
farmers will make use of this insur-
ance for 1912. In the county this
year very high percent of the 128
policy holders are reporting losses.
Mr.. Carr believes that it is evil
dent the hazards to growing crop
are more numerous than to any 9TH
er property that a farmer has the
opportunity to insure. A represen-
tative of the crop insurance corpor-
alton will call on each wheat farm
er and explain the insurance pro-
gram during the month Of August.
Notice:-The county agricultural
conservation office will be open each
Saturday evening throughout Aug
ust from Z to 9 O'Clock, to enable
farmers to secure their wheat mar
keting cards.

lead to action is barren; and a true
faith that is not expressed will die.
This is expressed in verse II, even
so faith, if it hath not works, is
dead, being alone"
V. 13. go to now, We that say,
Today or tomorrow we will go into
such city, and continue there year,
and buy and sell, and get gain" In
addition to the uncertainty of life,
the getting of gain is an uncertain

expectation of the merchant. Many
men who have expected gain have
ended in bankruptcy.
V. IA. Whereas We know not
what shall be on the morrow. For
what is your life? 1t is even vapor,
that appeareth for little time, and
then vanisheth away" There is
danger in un-Christian reliance on
the future and an absorbed engross-
ment in plans for it's direction.
V. Is. For that We ought to say,
If the Lord will, we shall live, and
do this or that We may propose
but God will dispose. All life is in
the hands of God, and we live hap

acknowledge this supreme truth
and live by it.
V. 16. But now ye rejoice in
your boastings; all such rejoicing is
evil The Dragging about the fu-

but sinful. 1t is evidence that the
braggart is living for self and leaves
God largely out of the account.
v. II. Therefore to him that
knoweth to do good and doeth it
not, to him it is sim 1t is sinful
to lose an opportunity to do good.
V. 12. "But above all things, my
brethren, swear not" If one speaks
the truth nothing more is needful.
Swearing shows a great weakness
and lack of veracity.

Paul emphasized faith as the
most important consideration for a

the importance of works but at the
