In Shrine Panic

Mourning relatives ranged
among rows Of hooded bodies to|

thorities counted 1874 dead In thel
wake Of a wild stampede that
brought q tragic end to a NewI
Years Day worship.
Thirty-six other persons werel

when thousands of worshipersl
panicked at the Iyahiko Shintol
shrine yesterday-flve minutes
after throbbing drums and peal

Q new year.
Some $4,000 persons were as
sernbled at the open-air shrine
to greet the new year with
thanks to their gods for good
crops and good fortune duringI
the past year when the disaster
struck.
It came when robed ShintoI
priests, standing atop special
towers 1ianking Q lS-step stair
way, began throwing out
pounded rice cakes-the tradi-
tional symbol for good luck.
The solemn rite became Q wild
stampede as the worshipers
crashed over one another In 81
frantic scramble to grab q cake.
Panic flared a. screams Of terror
and agony rent the cold mid
night air.

Federal Crop
Insurance Limited

Word has been received in the
Richland County Federal Crop In
surance Office in Sidney that new
sales for 1857 will be limited.
According to the number of
new contracts already signed only
rs more farmers will be allowed
to apply for the 1857 year. This
ruling is entirely new in the
Crop Insurance program. In the
past there was no limit as to the
number of insureds a county could
have.
This should not be confused
however with the possibility of
an early close off date. If crop
prospects are considered poor for
1857, as a protection for those
farmers already in the program,
the Corporation still has the priv
ilege to stop new sales. Applica-
lions already received on that
date Of course will be accepted.
This notice should be of inter-
est to every dryland wheat farm
err In Richland county who at
the present time Is not carrying
Federal Crop Insurance.

Even though fall is well along
1t is still not too late to plant a
few tulip bulbs for blooms that
Will be welcome next spring.
While September is the best
month to plant fall bulbs, later
paintings may be successful.
However, if winter sets in early
1t will be necessary to mulch
the late paintings with straw or
other suitable material that will
aid in keeping the frost out. The
mulch will help the bulb make
a strong roofing which it will
need for good blooms in the
spring.
Tulips are usually planted so
there is about 4 to 5 inches of
soil above them, although deeper
planting up to 10 inches is adj
visable if later blooms are de-
sired.
Since tulips are left for more
than one season, select a loca-
ton where the soil is well drain
ed. Deep and thorough prepara-
ton of the soil beforehand is al
so recommended as is spading a
little well rotted manure into the
soil before the bulbs are planted.
A small amount of bonemeal or
treble super phosphate may also
be added. Tulips depend upon
food reserves in the bulb during
the first season but after that
they need a good supply of plant
food to carry on vigorously.

Attacks Records
OF Republicans

Gordon Mathison, at a meeting

Democrats Tuesday evening, at
tackled Aronson's record while
legislator and governor.
Matheson pointed out that Ar
onson had both introduced and
supported bills to legalize open
gambling when our constitution
specifically states that the legis-
lature shall not pass such laws.
AS governor, Aronson signed a
bill into law which prohibits the
state land board from obtaining
the best possible price for oil
leases on state school lands.
The state president of the
Young Democrats also cited the
abominable record of the present
congressman in the End district.
Flare voted against the best in
terests of Montanans on every ma
jor issue, MatheSon said.
He said Flare added insult to
injury by trying to deny he voted
against the appropriation for the
anti-river pollution bill which
have helped the people of Sidney
and other Yellowstone valley COM
munities provide adequate sew
age systems and thereby relieve
the dangerous condition that ex-
lists. Matheson backed up his re-
marks with the Congressional Rec

TO OBSERVE WORK DAY
FOR CHRIST OCTOBER 20

Young people of the Pilgrim
Fellowship of Peoples Congrega-

tober 20, their 1856 Work Day
for Christ. Were not afraid of
hard work." says Duane Beagle,
president of the Fellowship, land
we'll tackle almost any kind of
a job for a fair days pay" Every
penny they arm on that day will
be donated to the Christian World
Mission which empraces all the
agencies of the Congregational
Christian foreign and home mis-
sions. On previous Work Days for
Christ, the Fellowship youngsters
have washed cars, put up storm
windows, raked leaves, scrubbed
floors, cleaned cellars, picked
fruit, clerked in stores, walked
and washed pets, CLEANED grain,
and performed many other odd
jobs.
"a telephone call to jeanne
McVay will bring a worker" says
Duane Beagle. "Those who give
us jobs to do will be sharing in
a great Christian service since
the money they pay us is to be
channeled into hospitals, schools
and other places of need through
the Christian World Mission.
