"Nobody's asked me." "Pouf!" Jim waved this explana tion away. "You arc beautiful, you are young, you are rich." Jim wrote in his notebook and read aloud as he wrote: "She is not happy. She is frald of love." Elsa smiled at Jim. "Couldn't we tick more closely to music?" ehe asked. "Mais oul." Jim replied. "Ycu slug to Paris next month?" .. Im nodded.

Jim turned to him and the photographer looked at him in surprise. "Hey I" he said, "you're not Mr. Ginard." "Would you mind waiting in the next room?" Elsa said hastily. When he withdrew ehe turned to Jim. "Well?" ehe demanded. "I I'm Jim Guthrie," he ex plained. "I had to meet you." "Would you mind telling me where you're concealing the real Ginard?" Elsa continued with moclt severity. "Ho he's in my apartment across the hall," Jim said. Elsa started for the door. "Then we mustn't keep him waiting," she said. In Jim's apartment fihe greeted the real Ginard cfrusivc-iy. "How ia your charming wii'o?" she asked. "And ths little boy?" Jim tonk them to the bar and while Pancho mixed drinks they listened to Elsa's re miniscences of opera. It had become a jolly threesome when the door was suddenly opened and Madella scowled at them. . "Elsa!" she thundered. Jim turned quickly and crossed to her. "It can't he':" he said unbeliev ingly. "It can't be but it is! It is Madame Delia. How long I've waited for this moment. He toote her by the arm "Come," he said, "I've something to show you." He piloted her to a small adjoin ing room.

These inspirational lecturers who stress the importance of teamwork in the attainment of a desired goal, might well point to the circus as one of civilization's outstanding exam ples of organized effort and what it can accomplish. Local residents will be aide to see this principle in action when the Russell Bros.' Circus comes lo Platts mouth next Tuesd.v. August 2. For then they will have a chance to ob serve the marvelous system by which a big circus is able to move into a town, set up its vast array of tents and complicated paraphernalia, give two complete performances, and then tear down, pack up and move on to another town, all within the space of 24 hours. "Kcre today; gone tomorrow" is the unending cycle which keeps cir cus folks constantly on the move. The Russell Bros. Circus is an itin erant tented city which moves its streets, business offices and residen tial section as frequently and regu larly as the rising of the sun. Wheat Produc ers Must Apply for Insurance Now 153 Applications Have Been Mad1 So Far, Says Supervisor Evan Armstrong. Cass county wheat producers who want federal all-risk insurance on their 1939 wheat yields must apply bcrore August 15. This reminder came from Evan Armstrong, county crop insurance supervisor. A total of 160 applications have been made out in this county to date, he said. Because crop insurance work was almost at a standstill during the peak of harvest. Armstrong looks for a last-minute rush to complete appli cations before the deadline, which is less than three weeks away. "It may be impossible for our field rep resentatives to contact every farmer and landlord who wants to insure his 10.", A whpat production. he com mented. "Therefore we suggest every producer who wants to apply for in- i surance should visit the Cass county j AAA nfriVo nt the first onnortunitv. I We will appreciate such cooperation to avoid possible congestion the last few days." Mr. Armstrong called attention to the fact that wheat insurance poli cies may be assigned to secure leans to cover the cost of insuring and handling the crop, but not for other purposes. He observed, "Farmers who have insufficient wheat or cash left after harvest to insure their next year's production are usually the ones who need the security of insur ance most. Crop failures hit them hardest. Bankers and other lending agencies can offer a real service by advancing credit to pay crop insur ance premiums, and they can find no better security for such loans than assignment of the policy, along with 'tfi mortgage on tne ciop. Number three wheat, testing at least 5G pounds per bushel, is the lowest grade acceptable for paying insurance premiums. Pecause a great deal of wheat in some sections is test ing low this year due to rest and other adverse conditions, and because of greater convenience in handling money, Armstrong believes most farmers will pay their premiums in cash instead of wheat. "It looks as though virtually every application wJU uc for three-fourths coverage." he remarked. "Farmers: here apparently do net care. to iu - Circus Spectacle i'm K4 z : jk. 55v it sr j f,.vr '.' ma HI f T 'i 1 - vo :. : '.r. : :-iyvv : LAa: .'.-y .StTJ From April until November, this is the only city the 500 employees of Russell Bros. Circus know, save for a superficial acquaintance with the towns where the show exhibits, gained by brief shopping tours. They eat in the circus dining tent, sleep in their living cars and earn their livelihood in the tents and wagons on the show grounds. The immensity of moving this tented city naturally i3 realized only by those intimately associated with the task, or by those spectators whose interest keeps them on the lot long after the night performance is ended, watching the dismembering and loading of the big top, menag erie, side show and other tents; Feats, poles, light plants, and cables and the thousand and one little odds pnd ends necessary to operate an organization of this kind. Rome may not have been built in a day, but the circus, which had its origin in that imperial city, per forms that miracle with astounding regularity. sure for only one half their normal yields." The supervisor reports absentee landlords as well as farmers have shown considerable interest in crop insurance. He suggests that pro ducers apply for Insurance on the largest acreage they may want to plant, to avoid the inconvenience of making suplementary applications later. "It is definitely advisable to in sure the entire wheat acreage on any one farm," he points out, "because the insurance policy will guarantee a stated total production on tne whole farm. It part of the acreage were not insured the production on that part would come out of any pay ments otherwise due the farm for a partial crop failure. On the other hand, a producer who plants less than the acreage insured will have two choices: He may either obtain a refund of the excess premium, or he may apply it on the cost of insur ance 4or his 1940 crop." Under a new procedure now being worked out farmers who want to . jtake advantage of cheap wheat this 'car may pay their 1940 premium in advance, along with their 1939 rlIi'i,!u'e premium. Armstrong marks. All wheat producers in re- are j eligible for insurance on their 1939 yield, provided they follow sound farming methods that will give them a reasonable chance for normal yields. PAY ADDITIONAL DIVIDEND LINCOLN, July 28 (UP) E. H.

Director Neil C. Vandemoer said today. Vandemoer said one month in cold storage would stop the infes tation and leave the rice fit for dis tribution. He explained that the de partment expected the weevils to in fest the rice and that no attempt was made to put it into cold storage until the infestation started in order to save money. Watch the Drinking Water, on Vacation 1938 Season Bsgins with 40 Typhoid Cases from Bad Water at In diana Roadstand. Thc annual toll of typhoid fever, dysentery and other ills arising from vacationists drinkin.tr unsafe water has already started, reports the Am erican Water Works Association. The 1038 season starts off with 40 cases of tvphoid fever contracted by vacationists drinking well water at a roadside stand in Indiana. The well had been contaminated by a broken sewer only five feet from the well. In various areas many cases of dysentery, intestinal "flu" and "summer complaint' are reported occurring from the use of impure 1 water. Vacation joys may be followed by unpleasant ills if impure water is drunk by vacationists in their travels, warns the association, pointing oui that the purity of water cannot be detected by taste or clarity. Germs are tasteless, odorless and invisible. In several states it is now com pulory for wells and other water sources for tourists' use to be ex amined periodically and placards are posted to show that the supply is safe. Even in those states where such ex aminations of water are not man datory, any roadside stand or resort should, for its own protection, make sure that its 'water supply is free from contamination. So frreat has been the progress of jAmcrican cities in safeguarding1 their water supplies against contamination that many city dwellers do not real ize that water as it occurs in nature may be impure. The average city water is much safer than that found In brooks, springs and wells in the country, for the purity of citv water is constantly supervised by trained and skilled men. That is evidenced by the fact that in the past 20 years deaths in;Tn ty phoid fever in the principal Amer can cities have dropped from more than 20 to less than one per 100,000 population annually. Water purifica tion is chiefly responsible for that remarkable progress. If the purity of all water supplies was properly safeguarded, typhoid would disappear from the United states in a compar atively short time. In recent years a number of out breaks of water-borne ills have oc curred in summer resorts, picnic grounds and recreational places. In a tourist camp in Canada in 1936 a spring polluted by leakage from a nearby septic tank caused 150 cases of diarrhea. In a resort in Missouri 2,000 persons were made ill by impure water during a recent summer season. Of 21 reported outbreaks in summer recreational areas studied, there were 1,249 cases of tvphoid and 2,834 cases of diarrhea and dysentery. Fifteen persons died. Vacationists cannot be too fussy about their drinking water, and the annual summer toll of sickress from drinking impure water should be kept in mind as a constant warning, con cludes the association.- Used cars, livestock, houseliold goods all can be sold through inexpensive Journal Want Ads.
