Commodities.
Distribution of surplus commod-
tiles to schools that are located quite
far from Pine City was hauled nicely
last year by Mr.. Ames of Bruno and
others who hauled commodities to
convenient points. Mr.. Ames has
sold his trucking service to F. E.
Nee of Kerrick, who is willing to
haul if enough schools will 60 to-
gether to make it worthwhile. Ted
Jensen of Askov is now hauling for
some schools. Harvey Thrun of Fin

one route. There may be others who
can and will haul these surplus COM

Institute.
All but four of our rural teachers
and all of Miss Hanson's training
department students attended the
two days institute last week. The
general theme on the second day
stressed the need of more phonics in
the reading program for the first four
grades. We have called attention to
this need every year and we are now
glad to find that the trend every
where is rapidly swinging back to
phonics as the main key to more
rapid progress in reading.
Interesting talks by Mrs. Reese of
the Duluth Teachers college, Miss
Anna Swenson of the Minnesota Pub
lie Health Association, Mrs. Jessie

Complying with the provisions of
the Sugar Act of 1887, notice of a
public hearing to be held in Billings
on January Is on labor rates and
grower professor contracts has been
received from the department of agri-
culture in Washington by Albert H.

ture
The Sugar Act of 1887, as amended
requires that in order to qualify for
government payments, producers must
pay all persons employed on the
farms in the production of sugar
beets, wages at rates not less than
those determined to be fair and rea-
sonable by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture after public hearing and investi-
cation. The Act also provides that
professors, who as producers wish to
qualify for conditional payments, pur-
chase sugar beets at rates determined
by the Secretary to be fair and rea-
sonable. The legislation further
provides that the Secretary may make
regarding the terms

UNIVERSITIES

CHICAGO.-(FP)-A statement de-
nouncing Gov. Eugene Talmadge of
Georgia for ousting four professors
whom he accused of advocating racial
equality, was adopted by the Amer
lean Assn. of University Professors
at Its annual convention.
Arbitrary action and political con-
not in accord with sound education
administration and are inimical to the
welfare of education" the association
declared They are particularly
harmful when they involve an attempt
to arouse racial prejudices, especially
at time when it is imperative that
the races learn to live together in
accord with each other"
The professors also voted formal
censure of Adelphi College, the Uni
versity Of Kansas City and Western
College Of Education because Of ar
bitrary firings Adelphi College fired
four department heads without rea-
son" and the University Of Kansas
City fired two professors and com
mitted "other action not In keeping
with academic freedom" the associa-
ton charged.
Recalling how Gov Clarence ID.
Martin fired Charles H. Fisher, presi-
dent of Western Washington College,
in 1889, the professors cited the col
lege for bad conditions of academic
freedom and tenure"

The OBSERVERS
COLUMN
By HI BINDER

Citizens of Montana received their
first taste of war conditions when
orders for the rationing of tires were
issued last week Declaring that the
further importation of crude rubber
is imperiled, the Office of Price Adj
ministration, which was created by
executive order of the President April
II, 1871, issued orders that no more
tires could be sold without permit.
Inasmuch as every state in the
union has established state defense
councils the OPA decided to call upon
them to carry on the job of rationing.
In Montana, Gov. Sam c. Ford ap-
pointed as state rationing officer Tom
D. Caverly, co-ordinator of the Mon
tana Defense Council Under the
governors direction local rationing
boards were quickly established in
each county and each board was en-
powered to determine whether a given

FEDERAL CROP
INSURANCE
EXPLAINED

Federal all-risk crop insurance has
been operating in Montana for three
crop years and by now a majority of
farmers have become familiar with
the purposes of the program. They
know that by taking out crop insur-
ance they can guarantee themselves
rs percent of normal crop If their
wheat has been sown and is protected
In a workmanlike manner
But most farmers, including many
insurees, do not understand the meth
cd by which yields, rates and loss
costs for crop insurance are estab-
lished. To aid in understanding these
basic facts of crop insurance opera
ton, one of the first premises is that
crop insurance, unlike other forms of
insurance, is set up so that premiums
paid over period of years will actu-
ally equal the indemnities received
over the same period. This means
that no part of the premiums paid
by farmers goes to pay costs of the
program as all administrative and
overhead costs are paid by the gov
eminent.
To illustrate how yields, rates and
loss costs are established, these fig
ures as they apply to the following
farm over 23-year period will be
explained:

FOR DEFENSE

Civilian organizations available for

the Montana Preparedness and Adj
visory Commission by WPA clerical
workers beginning this week, Tom D.
Caverly, co-ordinator of the Montana

sion announced today.
THE primary purpose of this in

further planning the program of vol
unteer participation in Civilian De-
Tense. The listing of clubs, associa-
lions and societies in urban districts
Is an essential STEP"
WPA field workers will visit civic
and community leaders to obtain
names of officers and community
chairmen of the civilian organizations
in Montana.
This work" Caverly explained,
has been planned at the request of
the Montana Preparedness and Ad-
visory Commission, Gov. Sam G. Ford,
chairman. The success of this state
wide effort depends to a great extent
upon the cooperation of local COM
munities. 1t is hoped the work In
Montana can be expedited through
the wholehearted assistance of civic
leaders cooperating with the local
county defense commissions
The Montana inventory will in
clude civilian organizations in all
county seats and all urban areas hav
ing population of more than $500 as
reported in the latest census. Groups
to be included in the inventory are
described generally as civic organiza-
tons, such as Women's clubs, Rotary,

GRAIN DIVISION
SERVICES TO
CON TINUE

No curtailment of grain inspection
services by the state department of
agriculture will be made according to
Commissioner Albert H. Kruse. While
operating under an insufficient ap-
preparation, means will be found to
render inspection services and scale
testing that will give ample protection
to the growers and meet the require
ments of the grain trade he asserted.
The appropriation made by the leg
islature for the grain division was not
sufficient for the demand for services
occasioned by an extraordinary crop
and delayed harvesting, so far, the
demands have been met and will be
met in the future, he declared. Com
pairing the work for two months, Mr..
Kruse stated that In October 1910, the
laboratories handled 1884 samples
while in the same month in 1871,
they handled $3.50. In November,
1910, they handled 7O9 samples and
in November 1941 they handled 2,034.
Under the provisions of H. B. 10
enacted into law by the last Iegisla-
tive assembly, the state department
of agriculture on July l, turned over

A larger share Of turning out goods
for civilian consumption will go to
firms employing less than 20 workers.
These constitute rs percent of all the
firms of the country, but, it is said,
their ability to produce war materials
would add but percent to the war
production effort The reason is that
less than 5 percent of the country's
machine tools are located in these
plants.
Plan is to provide these small firms
with sufficient material to keep them
going manufacturing civilian goods.
Do They Mean It?
The automotive industry-the coun-
try's outstanding mass production in

which not only every man, woman,
