In general, distribution of the second payments will go forward as rapidly as forms certifying the compliance of individual producers with the contract provisions are received from the field and checked by the Rental and Benefit Audit Section. Checks to counties, from which complete expense statements to July 1 and budgets for the remainder of the 1934 program have not yet been received, will be held up, even though compliance certificates have been submitted. Until these statements and budgets are submitted the individual producer's pro rata share of the local administrative expenses, part of which is to be deducted from the second payment, cannot be computed. Also before payments are made to a county, a certification form is required .listing all contract signers who own .operate, or control forms outside of the county any one of which is not covered by a corn-ho- g contract. It is expected that the disbursement of second installment checks will be under way in considerable volume within the next ten days or two weeks. Compliance certificates on about 450,000 but of the total of about 1,150,000 contracts have been received in Washington. The contracts will be placed in line for payment according to the priority of arrival of the compliance certificates. The total of $129,000,000 paid to producers thus cooperating corn-ho- g far, represents about 95 percent of the estimated final total of the first installment of $137,000,000. Payments by states through November 14 are as follows.

Harris DEATH CLAIMS Withdraws From School Board Race BEAR RIVER CITY Joseph D. Harris, who has served this district as a member of the Box Elder school board for the past four years, has notified the school board clerk, according to his own statement, that he wished his name withdrawn from the list of candidates now pn file in that office. Mr. Harris explained that his name was not filed until the 20th of the month, and under a recent ruling of the attorney general of the state, he is not an eligible candidate for that office, as the law states that it must be filed 15 days previous to the election, exclusive of election day. Mr. Harris explained that were he elected his election could be contested under the above ruling, and should he win he would still lose and therefore his entering the race under the circumstances would only split the vote and possibly injure the chances of another candidate so for that reason he has asked that his name be withdrawn. Mr. Harris has worked hard for the interest of the schools in this district and has been instrumental in getting many matters of importance which have greatly aided the schols here, put over. 9; $813,664; Colorado, $841,096; Connecticut, $20,921; Deleware, $14,949; Florida, $126,463; Georgia; $69,445; Idaho, $454,890; Illinois, $16,417;579; Indiana, $10,316,729; Iowa, $30,930,530; Kansas, $6,956,743; Kentucky, $1,666,-02Louisiana, $13,235; Maryland, Massachusetts, $185,081; $220,001; Michigan, $1,344,436; Minnesota,MissMississippi, $28,867; ouri, $10,646,129; Montana, $224,189; Nebraska, $12,298,891; Nevada, $25,-77New Hampshire, $10,103; New Jersey,, $112,474; New Mexico, $170,-82New York, $101,221; North Carolina, $268,802; North Dakota, Ohio, $7,299,195; Oklahoma, $1,986,216; Oregon, $286,263; Pennsylvania, $166,543; Rhode Island, South Carolian, $122,442; South Dakota, $5,832,367; Tennessee, Texas, $1,872,670; Utah, $84,813; Vermont, $25,051; Virginia, $670,421; Washington, $317,925; West Virginia, $113,231; Wisconsin, $3,343,-C3Wyoming, $177,512. 4; 9; 0; $2,-14- 0; 3; S.P.R.R.Reopens Fight To Abandon West End Of Promontory Line WOMAN, FRIDAY Funeral Services Held For Mrs. Peter M.

Johannah Marie Hansen was born in Denmark, March 18, 1860, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hans Anderson. She married Peter M. Hansen on October 29, 1884, at the endowment house in Salt Lake.

Mr. Christofferson stated in presenting his resignation that his work at the post office demanded all of his attention and for that reason he wanted to be free from any political set up. Mr. Christofferson has, during his term as county chairman .affected a strong organization and has always stood for organization and has made it known that the county and precinct organizations should be recognized as such in all party matters. Since the chairman has resigned and since the central committee voted to table the resignation, considerable conjecture as to the state of this situation has arisen and there are many who feel that Mr. Christofferson meant exactly what he said, this Boy is the very nature of the man, that his resignation should have been acMerchandise in general in the Gepcepted and that Mr. Anderson, vice hart Stores, so far as Wesley was chairman, should have had a free concerned, was measured In units of hand in reorganizing the committee 6 the past few days ,as about the and in carrying on the business of the most important thing in life happened to the Gepharts Thursday night of party.

ANNOUNCEMENT Tre-monto- TejjisterecL Cards will be mailed from the Bureau of the Census in Washington to each family in Utah on December S, a asking that family to take about half minute to tell Uncle Sam if there has been a baby born into the home in the last twelve months, what its name is, and the birth date. In some cases, of course .there have been no babies .then the family is asked to pass the card along to a neighbor. The cards will be returned to the Census Bureau, and forwarded to Salt Lake City, where they will be checked against existing records. In case it is found that some child has not been registered, steps will immediately be taken to have that child's "first citizenship papers" properly drawn. The campaign in Utah will be under the direction of Dr. T. B. Beatty, secretary of the State Board of Health. Miss Eva Ramsey will represent the Census Bureau in the handling of the varied phases of the drive. The cards will be distributed by regular city and rural delivery carriers. All cards will be returned postage free. "Proper birth registration is most important to the child," said Dr. Beatty.

In all, there are 14 reasons, all of them for the child's benefit, for proper registration. Dr. Beatty in announcing the cam-- ! paign and delivery of cards urged every parent receiving a card to fill it out and mail immediately, even though births of Infants In the family have already been registered. n. Box Elder County Commissioners were appraised Monday by the Inter state Commerce Commission that the Southern Pacific R. R. was reopening its fight to abandon the west end of its Promontory branch in Box Elder county and that the argument has bee4,set for December 12, at Wash ington, D. C. After considering the matter of the large tax revenue that that sec tion of track brings in each year, which runs from $12,000 to $15,000 as well as the great convenience to sheep and cattle men ,is was decided that the county should be represented at the hearing. Consideration was also given to the fact that the county has been so far successful in preventing abandonment and that even though unsuccessful this time that by contesting the application that a large tax revenue will be assured for 1935. Many citizens and groups are supporting the commissioners in this fight feeling that should the railroad be successful in this application that next year another application may be filed to permit abandonment of the line from Kelton to Lampo which will mean a further curtailment of tax revenue and great inconvenience to citizens of that portion of the county- The county has so far been successful in contending that because of needs of its citizens, coupled with the fact that this is a land grant railroad that abandonment should not be granted. At the last hearing at Washington it was contended that the old Promontory line should be kept intact as an auxiliary to the Lucin Cutoff because in the event of a War in the Pacific ,the trestle work over Great Salt Lake could be easily destroyed which would leave the old line as one of the few transcontinental connecting links. te Feed Loans May Be Obtained by Farmers Stockmen in drought areas who cannot obtain credit from other sources will continue to be eligible for emergency feed loans for their foundation herds this winter provided ed they keep their credit in good standing and show their intention of repaying the loans, W. I. Meyers, Governor of the Farm Credit Administration said. "The Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Offices," Governor Meyers said, "have made loans in the primary drought areas without requiring chattel mortages in order to make funds available quickly to save hundreds of thousands of cattle and other stock; but they have done so with every expectation that the money will be repaid. 'The Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Division of the Farm Credit Administration has dealt leniently with such borrowers; but each loan case has been carefully inspected.
