Lunch was served. Revised Wheat Certificate Setup Urged ST. PAUL, De 14. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Senator Burton K. Wheeler, speaking on the same platform, tonight told a Farmers Union convention that a proposal to finance wheat-growers' benefits through a system of certificates would help assure producers of a fair income.

They agreed, also, that financing of the federal farm program should be put on a permanent basis, without the need of repeated congressional appropriations. The certificate bill, they said, would help do this for wheat. Wallace explained that the plan would, "in effect, achieve the economic benefits of the old processing tax, but in a simplified manner." Under one plan, he said, co-operating farmers would be given certificates worth a certain number of s-v-. lac. correspondents.

Damage Action Is Dismissed on Counsel Agreement The $5,231 damage action of C. Dimzoff against Louis J. McDonald, local contractor, was dismissed in district court by stipulation of counsel. The case was scheduled for jury trial Monday. June 7, 1938.

10 LIKE EVERY GIRL I NEVER ANY MORE TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING THE SIMPLE. LIFELESS EASY WAY I'VE FOUND TO KEEP MY COMPLEXION LOVELY! Beard to Match MARSHALL, Dec. 14. Santa Claus is growing a beard. You thought he already had one? Well, that's true of the fictional Santa, but it hasn't been true of Mr.

Santa Claus that's his real name of Marshall, Mo. For years he's been trying in his own way to live up to the meaning of the name given him, he says, by a father with a sense of humor but he has remained clean shaven. This year, though, friends per suaded Marshall's Santa to try to look the part. When his beard is grown, he'll whiten the whiskers, don a red and white suit and be a realistic Santa for the town. Eleven months a year, Mr.

Claus divides his time between his plumbing trade and his Christian calling as pastor of the local Church of God. Much of the time in recent years he's had to depend on, the WPA to supplement his meager earnings. But business has been better this year and Santa has had a legular job with a plumbing shop. In December, however, Mr. Claus spends most of his time answering letters.

Providing for five boys (none named Santa) and two girls of his own doesn't leave him any money left to buy presents for the thou sands of anxious youngsters who write him annually. But he can an swer letters with that intriguing signature, "Santa Claus," and he does. He has to depend on charitable friends to help him buy the stamps. It requires quite a few to answer 6,000 letters his annual average but he keeps writing as long as the stamp money holds out. There have been times in recent years when he cut short the Christmas pleasures of his own family to answer more letters.

The missives from hopeful kiddies started coming this year before the first Thanksgiving. His mail grows heavier daily. Santa is unhappy that some nations will be at war this Christmas but hopes that the United States can stay out that "peace on earth" can remain this nation's Christmas motto. With a war in progress, he believes more attention should be paid to toys given youngsters. He doesn't believe they should be given guns to play with war or no war.

"It would be a wise idea to get their minds away from guns," Santa says. "It's not so much the war I'm thinking of, but holdups and things of that sort. Kids will be kids, and war toys will be used all in play now but they might reflect on their later lives." James Zafiris Heads Order of Ahepa Here James Zafiris, has been elected president of Great Falls chapter 229, Order of Ahepa. He succeeds Thomas Bastas and will be installed Jan. 10.

Other officers elected are George Manos, vice president; William Spi- ros, secretary, and Theodore Hasab-alis, treasurer. Bastas. retiring president, will be come chairman of the board of governors. Those named as governors include Nicholas Luru, Louis Kour-akos. Peter Karabalis and George Kordopatis.

Solon's Annuity Plan A proposal by Senator Robert A.

Wagnef of New York that the government sell annuities through post-offices is condemned by the Great Falls Life Underwriters association. George N. Wright president of the association, told members the senator's declaration that such an nuities could be sold at 30 percent below private rates was "bad eco nomics as well as bad politics." "Annuity rates are controlled by three factors." he said. "First, mortality, and the government would have no advantage here, not being able to influence mortality rates. "The second factor is interest earnings.

Government annuity re serves would presumably be invested in government bonds, the return from which would be from 30 to 40 percent lower than the return which life companies earn on their total investments. Referring to the third factor, that of cost of acquiring the business. Wright said: "Assuming that the loss to the government of premium and other taxes and also the expense of administration and premium collections would be footed by the already overburdened taxpayer, the only additional savings to the gov ernment as contrasted to private en terprise would be the item of com missions, compensating the agent for his service at the time of the sale and throughout the lifetime of the annuitant, as well as service to bene ficiaries following the death of the annuitant. Over the average pre mium-paying period of annuities it is estimated these commissions would average considerably under 4 per cent, a far cry from 30 percent. "There is only one source from which the government could draw the other 26 percent of the 'savings' from the pockets of the public through taxation.

And this is bad politics, for in effect the senator is suggesting the average man, who pays the great portion of the tax bill, shall subsidize through further taxes the the annuity buyer who is generally far above the average man as a wage earner.

Wheat processors would be required to buy certificates, which probably would be handled through a pool, for all wheat processed for consumption in the United States. This legislation, said Wheeler, who spoke immediately after Wal lace, "would not be a panacea. It would not solve the farm problem. It would offer some protection against the ravages of drouth and bad years." Turning to the reciprocal trade agreements, the secretary suggested that, if it developed that the agreements benefited the nation as a whole at the expense of any certain group Tithin it, "then it would be only fair and right for the nation as a whole to take measures to offset such cost." He explained that one possible method of offsetting the cost might be in adjustment of transportation rates to give, for example, farmers in the midwest transportation equality with South American producers hi the eastern seaboard market. The' reciprocal trade agreement program, which will expire next June unless extended by congress, benefited American agriculture as a whole before the European but the world trade picture is "drasti cally changed" now Wallace said.

Judge Frees Man Held for Stealing From Slot Machine BASIN. Dec. 14. (P) A denunciation of slot machines was issued here today by Judge P. W.

Metz in dismissing charges of breaking and entering against Dewey Joseph Finch of Bozeman, Mont. Finch was arrested Dec. 5 when a night watchman in aBasin saloon allegedly caught him breaking a 25-cent slot machine in the saloon. In dismissing the case, Judge Metz said he would refuse to send any man to the penitentiary on such a charge. "It is unlawful to own and operate slot machines in the state of Wyoming, and I feel a slot machine owner is a bigger criminal than criminals trying to steal money from them."
