Soil Sub-District
Ballots Go Begging
Valley farmers show such faint
interest in the organization of a
soil conservation sub - district
here, that only 27 of them had
voted in the current election by
late Wednesday afternoon. Time
of that election had been extend
ed by action of Frank Linn of the
Soil Conservation Board, in order
to give everyone an opportunity
to vote.
Balloting will continue at the
Extension Office until 5 o’clock
this evening. It is urged that
everyone interested in this mat
ter cast his vote before that time.
More than 50 Valley farmers
signed a petition requesting that
the sub-district be organized, and
the Soil Conservation Service of
fice had hoped to see at least as
many ballots as there were peti
tioners.

School Board,
P-TA Order New
Play Equipment
At a joint meeting of the
Palmer board of education and
the playground committee of the
Parent-Teacher’s Association this
week, orders were drafted for
the purchase of $500 worth of
new play equipment for Palmer
school. This money, set aside in
a special fund by the territory, is
available to schools up to the
amount of $250, if matched by a
like amount in the community.
Palmer's P-TA this year under
took the job of digging up the
matching $250.
Equipment ordered by the
group included all types of balls
and bats for outdoor use, a new
slide, volleyball nets and equip
ment and other play equipment
to be used in group games.
Because of the lack of project
material and seatwork in the pri
mary grades, nearly one-fifth of
the $500 went for playtime equip
ment for Palmer’s youngest stu
dents. Building blocks, puzzles,
beadwork and other teaching
aids in the primary department
were listed on this order.
A portable phonograph for
use of the school was another
item on the P-TA's order blank.
The playground committee was
informed by members of the
board of education that existing
swings and see-saws need not be
replaced out of this special fund.
These items, which have worn
out through normal use, may be
replaced out of the budgetary
allowance set aside for repairs,
it was found.
Complete coverage fire insurance is still
the best investment
for any farm or city home or business
The knowledge that your home or business is
insured against fire loss or damage
will free you from worry during the
summer’s vacation
A day's delay may be just a day too late
