Food for Thought

At the meat counter when wo-
men order kidney, their selection
has been met with great approval,
then they add, This is for the
cat"
We have many cats that are fed
the best meats, and the owners of
the cats are pleased that the price
of kidneys is not exhorbitant,
These cats, enjoying all nine lives,
may have great deal of credit to
give to their masters wise choice
of food.
But why should cats be better
fed than most Of US? We admit
the cat has little choice in the mat
ter and is fed what someone thinks
is best.
Why don't you offer to your
family what someone thinks is
best" There is a big chance that
your family will enjoy braised
lamb kidneys. We are including
recipe here and at the same time
suggest that you look through
your favorite cookbook and select
any other recipes that sound at
tractive. They're worth trying.
Remember if you're just learning
to eat kidney, very small portion
is the best salesman.

With the theme, "Today's Home

Last year, the more than 1000

farm. Even if a destroyed build
ing is covered fully by insurance,
the farmers losses are high be-
cause the productive capacity OF
the farm is lessened.
Use of fire-retardant building
materials for both new construc-
tion ayd repair is recommended.
The vulnerability of roofs to fly
ing sparks, a common hazard in
rural areas, can be reduced by the
economical application of fire-re-
sistant asphalt shingles, which
are approved by Underwriters
Laboratories and will not be kim

or airborne fire brands.
Farm residents are urged not
only to clean up fire hazards in
the farm home and other build
ings but to eliminate outdoor haz-
ards as well. Unnecessary COM
bustible debris should be removed
from farm yards, and dead un-
dergrowth and weeds in fields
and along fence lines should be
destroyed. Sparks from field fires
often are blown hundreds of yards
to endanger farm buildings.

Farm Fire Insurance Lags
AS Property Values increase

Increased property values mean
that most farm buildings are un-
derinsured. A barn which cost
$4,000 before the wa is a $4,000
barn today and should be insured
for $4,000 if full protection is de-
sired.
When a farm building is de-
stroyed by fire, the insurance
money received by the owner in
many cases will cover only a
fraction of the cost of a similar
new building, according to agri-
cultural economists and insurance
company officials.
Farmers are advised to base
fire insurance coverage on replace
ment costs, not on original costs.
Fire insurance policies usually
are written for one, three OF five
years, but, if necessary to keep
coverage in line with current
price levels, the amount of inSur-
ance should be changed before
there is need for renewal of the
policy.
The rise in value of farm struc-
lures also intensifes the impor-
tance of fire prevention on the

Farm fires last year cost about

Police today were seeking vandals
who overturned or otherwise dam
aged 40 marble and granite grave

of st. Paul's Episcopal Church,
Eastcnester.
Investigators inclined to the be-

Several of the stones were

graves of Civil War veterans-were
torn from their bases.
The vandalism was discovered
yesterday by the Rev. DR.. w. Har-

national shrine Of the Bill of Rights.
Dr. Weigle said the church has
been planning a campaign to raise
funds to incloSe the church, the old

with a protective 10-foot brick wall.
The clergyman recalled that about

never were caught, damaged an

jailed for Fa|sifying
Bank S Books, Dies
BY the Asseeiatsd Press


SEA CLIFF, N. Y. Jan. 24.-Joseph
w. Hartman, 81, founder of the
Hartman National Bank a. Trust
Co. of New York. died yesterday
after q dozen years of seclusion since
his parole from a Federal peniten-
tiary.
Ill for several years, he had been
in a Long Island hospital for two
weeks.
Hartman, one-time president OF
the bank he founded in New York
City in 1912, was sentenced in 1894
for falsifying the banks books and
misapplying its funds. His 41a-year
term ended in little more than two
years, when he was paroled from
Northeastern Penitentiary, Lewis
burg, Pa.
His.wife, who stood by him during
the trial and lived at a small inn
near the penitentiary during his
term, died 10 years ago.
The Hartman bank was one Of
the few major New York financial
institutions which did not reopen
after the 1888 banking holiday. The
night after the bank holiday ended
he was arrested After two reported
attempts at suicide he was tried
and convicted.
He was accused of falsifying bank
records to the extent of $1,713,000
and with misapplying about $500, ,00C
of the banks funds. In pre-
depression days Hartman had been
looked on as a conservative and
shrewd banker.
Born in Belleville, N. j., he was
nephew of the late E. H. Harri-
man, financier and president of the
Union Pacific Railroad. From 1902
to 1924 he was a member of the
brokerage firm of Hartman & Co.
which had been founded in 1871 by
his father and uncle.
