D. Huffaker has ruled in an opinion to J. G. McQuarrie, state insurance commissioner. Mr. Huffaker said such societies are insurance companies under the law. Mr. McQuarrie requested the opinion after he found that several societies are operating in the state without certificates from his office and without paying required fees. He said members of societies pay a stated sum to the association upon the death of another member, and the society then pays the heirs of the deceased the sum collected. Semiannual dues also are paid by members, Mr. McQuarrie said. Mr. Huffaker ruled that where a member of the society contracts to pay a death assessment and the society is legally obligated to pay a sum to the heirs, the society is engaging in insurance and must comply with state insurance laws. However, the opinion said, where no contract exists and the company is under no legal obligation to pay, insurance cannot be said to exist. for Years; Funeral to be Held Friday Cemetery, Home and Sec'y of State and Pres. of State Farm Bureau General Beautification Were Speakers Problems Discussed Two meetings were held in TremonThrowing all cares to the wind and ton Wednesday with Professor J.

Roosevelt and the Democratic Government will find an encouraging and helpful attitude in the agricultural branches of the nation, C. E. Huff, Chicago, president of the Farmers National Grain Corn poration," said upon his arrival in from the East. "Agriculture," he said, "wants nothing but a fair deal and an honest chance to work itself out. The attitude of the newly installed administration is very hopeful to those who are interested in agriculture and es- pecially those interested in cooperative marketing. "The rapid growth of cooperative marketing, in the face of almost overwhelming odds and bitter antagonism and its firm and well rooted foundations, proves beyond a doubt that this type of marketing is being looked to by the farmers themselves as a way out of the depression. "Cooperative marketing," he continued, "is growing every day and as we become more familiar with the trails we are traveling we are giving this service to the farmers in a more efficient manner. "The growth in the intermountin country this year will be very good. Grain Growers, The Inc. and the Farmers National Grain Corporation, in this district, will handle more wheat this year than it did last, by a substantial majority. There is a fine sentiment prevailing in this region for cooperative marketing and we expect to establish several new locals in the immediate future. Growers are coming to us requesting that we give them help in organizing and affiliating with our organization. "The Fanners National," he said, "is very well pleased with the attitude of the Democratic Administration and the appointments which have been made to handle agriculture affairs. Both, Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, and Henry Morgentau, Jr., Chairman of the Federal Farm Board, are intelligent men with a keen understanding of agriculture prob- Word is received from President James H. Moyle, of the Eastern States Mission, of the honorable release of Deloras W. Harris, effective March 2nd. Elder Harris arrived in the mission field January 27, 1931. Since November 7th 1932, Elder Harris has been laboring the Massachusetts district as district president. Elder Harris has been a successful md energetic missionary and will be welcomed home by his loved ones and friends. Og-de- v.

Banks Preparing to Issue Scrip, Friday Press reports carry the information that scrip will be issued in all proba- bility in Salt Lake City under the supervision of the Salt Lake City branch of the Federel Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The report further says that a joint meeting of the Salt Lake City Clearing House association and the Associated Banks and Trust companies was in session Monday morning to make local provisions for the president's proclamation. In event the Clearing House certificate is adopted in Utah, citizens will be provided with a check which is merely scrip drawn against bank deposits. The certificates will be issued in small denominations, probably $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and 100 dollar checks.

President C. E. Smith carried off all honors as the prize story teller. The crowd enjoyed the story so much, drawing their own conclusions as to its ending, that it became unnecessary for Mr. Smith to finish, and he took his seat mid uproarious applause and laughter. Highly pleasing musical numbers, which called for encores, were a ladies quartette, by the Fielding ladies; a solo, by Maurine Anderson and a male quartette, composed of "hick" farmers from Bothwell. A reading was given by Mrs. Dick Anderson, of Tremonton. Mrs. Eli- - Anderson presented to Mrs. N. E. Shaw a loving cup, which was won by Tremonton City in the home beautification contest conducted last year by the farm bureau. Following the program the balance of the evening was spent in dancing. Friends Parties At Stenquist .h ! ! i J Mr. and Mrs. Bob Whiting and small daughter of Burley, Idaho, spent Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Taylor. Friday evening as Forter Giles and Roy Stokes were coming to town to attend a social given by the Future Farmers, the horse they were riding slipped and fell. Roy had the misfortune to get the bones in his foot broken and Porter the ligaments of his foot torn loose. They were given medical attention and removed to their homes. Lions Club, held Wednesday evening, the matter of the price of gasoline was up for discussion and the club re- g affirmed its stand with respect the Utah Auto & Imp.

For a time, the latter part of last week and the fore part of this week, all gas in this community was selling for 21c. Since that time it appears that all have raised their price to 22c, with the exception of the Associated and the Atlas stations. Of course, the Utah & Imp. Co. has remained at 21c and will remain at this price, according to Mr. Taylor, manager, as long as there is not a price change in the general wholesale, up or down. Other business that came before the club was the appointing of a committee to cooperate with the Depositors Committee, of the defunct bank, in seeing what could be done in the way of reestablishing a bank here. Another committee was appointed to cooperate with the city in a general clean-u- p and beautification cam paign, to be conducted as soon as the weather conditions would permit. City officials had asked the Lions club for an expression as to how the members felt with respect to extending the iron pipe on the water main, The club favored this project if it didn't incur expenditures beyond the present revenue. LOCAL STUDENT OF BEAR RIVER HIGH, HONORED According to reports emulating from farm bureau officials of this county with respect to a tax reduction on farm and grazing lands in this . reduction has been county, a 20 made. It appears from these reports that the treasurer's office of the county is in sympathy with the demand made by the farmers and realize that farm lands in this county are assessed considerable above their money values and that an adjustment should be made. The officials contend however, that in the equalization of the property within the last year, valuation ha3 been lost. This fact does not enter into the proposition so far as the state farm bureau is concerned and as recent as Saturday of last week at the North Box Elder county farm bureau social, President Anderson, of the state farm bureau, called upon all farmers to remain steadfast in their demand for a blanket reduction. There does not seem to be any definite statement from the county officials as to the other 10, which is being demanded by the farm bureau. According to farm bureau officials, the fact can be clearly established in courts, if necessary, that farm lands in the state in general are assessed more than 30 higher than their actual money value and that all that the organization wants is that their lands be assessed on a basis of all other tangible property. Earnest Morrison Wins Crop Loans Available Union Pacific Agri. Now, at Tremonton Co. Scholarship for The 1933 Word was received last Friday from President Carl R. Grey, of theUnion Pacific Railroad system, that Ernest Morrison, president of the Bear River chapter of Future Farmers, has been awarded the 1932 Union Pacific Vocational Agricultural Scholarship for Box Elder county. This scholarship is awarded annually to the future farmer in Box Elder county who has the highest rating in scholarship, project work, and student activity, and amounts to $100.00 in cash, when the student enters the school of agriculture at the Utah State Agricultural College. A future farmer from Box Elder high school was named a3 alternate, and in case Mr. Morrison does not enter college, the alternate may receive the award. Each year the Future Farmers from the two high schools of Box Elder county compete for this award and it is significant to note that a Bear River Future Farmer has won the award now for four consecutive years, Zane Abbot of East Tremonton, was the 1931 winner; Fred Somers of East Garland, was the 1930 winner, and Milton Anderson of Elwood, won the 1929 award. All of these scholarship winners are now registered in the school of agriculture at the State Agricultural College. Milton Anderson and Fred Somers had the highest scholastic rating of any freshman students in the school of agriculture at the Agricultural College last year and Mr. Somers won the Alpha Zeta scholarship cup, given annually to the student ranking highest in scholarship in the school of agriculture at the State crop production loans are now available for Box Elder county. Vernal Willie, field inspector for the United States Department of Agriculture, who will have charge of the loans in this county, states that applications for these loans can now be made. Applications will be received at the Court House at Brigham City on Monday of each week, and at James Brough's Real Estate Office at Tremonton on Tuesday of each week. Instead of writing to Washington or to one of the regional loan offices Mr. Willie announced, fanners can obtain the necessary application blanks for loans and detailed information about the requirements, direct from him. Applications will then be reviewed by a county advisory commite tee, then certified and forwarded regional office at Salt Lake City for final approval and action. The maximum permitted to any one borrower this year is $300. ta-th- Spring Slow in Coming, Snow Still Covers Fields The snow along the highways is practically all gone and the roads are bare, that is the main highways. The fields and the cross roads throughout the Bear River Valley, however, are still laying under a heavy blanket of snow, which is not melting very fast at present. The slow melting of the snow, however, is a distinct benefit to the farm lands, that were very dry before the snow came and are absorbing the moisture instead of it running off as it would if the snow was melting faster. college.
