DEATH OF ISAAC STATS

DEATH OF ISAAC STATS
Isaac Stats, one of the old and
substantial citizens of Thorough
fare Neck, whose lineage goes back
to the early settlers and better
known to the past than the present
generation of this community, died

Bridge on Friday last, age SO
years. He had been from early
life a member of Friendship
Church, active in it's interest, serv-
ing his day and generation in every
good word and work. He took

interest in the affairs of the nation
and state, was an uncompromising
supporter of the Union in the late
civil war, and was several times on
the ticket for legislative and other
honors, but met the common fate
of the minority party.

possible increased production Of
rubber in Brazil.
3. The Amazon lacks population.
So the ministry Of colonization Is
embarked on a gigantic program to
move up to 10000 families, from
anywhere they may be in Brazil, into
the Amazon. grub-stake them and
see them on their way to production.
Most will probably come from the
state of Ceara, a desolate, arid re-
gion of the northeast. Ceara this
year had the worst drought regis
tered in 10 years. which has made
more attractive the offers of reset
tlement in the Amazon. It is hoped
to settle from 1000 to 1000 workers
(plus their families) in the Amazon
within the next few months.
Again, the United States steps in
to help. In the agreements, which
amiable DR.. Souza Costa, minister of
finance, signed at Washington last
February, the Rubber Reserve Co.
agreed to purchase the whole ex-
port balance of Brazilian rubber
during the next five years. Brazil
ian experts figure that within five
years they should be able to see
whether beginning can be made
to produce rubber on small holdings
in the Amazon at a price competing
with Far Eastern rubber

Grain Wins

| CONTINUED from Page One)
WPB chemicals branch and formerly
with Union Carbide and the Mellon
Institute, fatty told the Gillette COM
mittee that no new plants will be
built because of the copper shortage.
However H. Fred Willkie of Distil-
lers. Corp.-Seagrams said there is
mo sense" in statements made by
WPB representatives that the copper
shortage bars any increased use of
grain for industrial alcohol or rubber.
He told the Gillette committee:
"You don't even have to use any
copper in distIleries which make
| 1870 proof alcohol for the nanufac-
ture of products and butadiene for
| synthetic rubber. You can use any
kind of metal = silver, steel, even
wood or sewer pipe If necessary"
Mr.. Willkie asserted that the con-
version of existing stills to high proof
alcohol from grain could yield $751;
100000 gallons of this war product
in 1943 Such program would use
244, 100000 bushels of wheat or corn
as compared with the 136,000,000 of
all grains now planned by the WPB.
New Findings Further Strengthen
Case for Grain
I. To make rubber out of grain,
1t is not necessary to make the
grain into alcohol first; it has now
been shown that the alcohol stage
can be by-passed, thus considerably
reducing the cost of synthetic rub
Der.
2. Donald Nelson stated on May
22nd that, regardless of the merits
of oil versus grain for making rub
Der, petroleum must be used to
make styrene and therefore the oil
companies must be left in the CEN
ter of the rubber program. Dumas
synthetic rubber Is 1870 butadiene
and 25oo stryene. But it has now
been disclosed that under present
plans styrene Is being made, not by
the oil companies, but by chemical
companies such as Dow, Monsanto,
Union Carbide, and koppers. DR..
Leo M. Christensen further ex-
pIoded the "styrene mystery" by
telling the Gillette committee how
grains can be converted into other
vinyI compounds which serve the
same purpose as styrene.
8. A bushei of wheat, corn, rye or
sorgo will yield 10 lbs. of rubber on
the basis of these-up-to-date meth
DDS, instead of the 8 lbs. estimated
by Secretary Wickard. The cost of
making the two Ingredients, buta-
diene and styrene, for Dumas from
grain would be mot more than 10c
per pound" according to DR.. Chris
Jensen. Jesse Jones stated that he
is making his plans on the basis of
paying rs to 3oc pound for syn
thetic rubber.-Farm Research.

SLOW DRIVING
NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR VIGILANCE

| Yes, most folks are slowing down
on the highways. Most folks are try
| ing to save their tires and keep their
cars running as long as they can, but
we still have small group of reek-
less drivers and we still have the
careless and the thoughtless.
Since the first of January, 1912, we
have had forty-seven persons killed
through the acts or omissions of this
type of driver here in Montana. Bad
as that record is, it does not tell the
whole story. 316 persons have been
injured; 100 of them seriously and
1923, 321.50 of economic loss has been
suffered by the people of Montana,
as result of this recklessness, care
lessness and thoughtlessness ON our
highways. Many of these people who
have been killed and crippled as a
result of these bad driving practices,
were of military age, and all of them
had their part to play in the about
effort that must be ours if we are to
save this country of ours from the
of Hitler and his half civ
ilized yellow Aryan partners.
Just the other day I had the UNI
pleasant task of breaking the news
to a mother that her nineteen year
old son had just been killed in an
accident when a car load of young
folks, returning from dance, had
gone over the bank of sharp curve,
injuring another young man so sew
erely that he must be in the hospital
DR. on crutches for many months to
come, and putting young lady in the
hospital with fractured skull. Such
a tragedic ending of night of pleas
lre; such heart aches for the parents
and the loved onesI And careless
ness is to blame for 1t all. Even if
you slow down to forty, you still must
keep your mind on your driving.
Too many of us, l fear, are relax
ng at these lower speeds and look
ng at the scenery that we have
missed in the past when we went by
t at sixty or better, or we are day
lreaming or visiting with others in
he car. Yes, slower speeds are safer,
,ut they can still be dangerous if the
lriver is not attentive.
I know that you all want to live to
zee the end of this war. You all want
o do your part in bringing victory
nd peace to this land of ours, but
'ou will never see this victory If you
meet death on the highway, and you
will only slow down our war effort
you have to spend months in the
ospital. So please learn to drive
arefully to protect your own life and
id our victory.

COURT FOR Week

| DECISIONS
June 18th-Anaconda Copper Min
ing Co. v. Leslie G. House. Appealed
from Silver Bow county, Butte. Opin-
ion of the court by Justice Left Erick-
son. Dissenting, Justice Albert An
derson and Justice C. F. Morris.
Held: Where Anaconda Copper Min
| ing company contended that Indus
| trial Accident Board was in error in
basing the compensation award on
six-day week when the employee only
worked five days week, it was held
that the legislature in defining week
as "six-day week" did so to form
measuring stick for the sum the in
| jured employee was to receive and the
actual number of days worked was
not intended to control the amount
paid.
June 18th-Investors Security Co. v.
Charlotte c. Moore, Treasurer of
Wheatland county, and others. APP
pealed from Wheatland county, Har
lowton. Unanimous opinion of the
court by Justice Albert H. Angstman
Held: Where the assessor and the
county and state boards of equaliza-
ton made a valuation upon certain
lands for tax purposes and the valua-
ton was contested by the owners of
the land, it was held that the evil
dence upon which the taxing author
tiles based the valuation was suffi-
cient to sustain the valuation as
against the owners statement that
the land was overvalued.

C. Bacorn. Appeal from Park county,
Livingston. District Judge T. E.
Downey sitting in place of Chief JUS
tice Howard A. Johnson. Opinion of

man. Justice c. F. Morris dissenting.
Held: Where the mining company
in the first two causes of action
sought to set aside deeds to certain
and in third cause of ac-
ton sought to quiet title to the same
premises, 1t was held that the failure |
of the company to further plead after |
a demurrer to the first and second |
causes of action had been sustained, |
did not bar its right to set up the |
same matters in reply to the answer |
where the reply contained additional |
overcoming the defects in
