Old age pension blanks were dis
tributed yesterday. In large numbers,
by the county court and acorea of the
blanks were sent out by msll today
and yesterday. Many of the appll
canta called In person..
Accompanying the applications were
a list of questiona and answers de
signed to aid in filling out the blanks.
All pertinent facta pertaining to ths
old age pension law are explained. A
letter atatlng the county court'a posi
tion waa also sent.
The applications contain close to
100 queries, and friends of the appli
cants making out the blanks.
High points of the pension law, as
revealed In the explanation sheets
are:
"What condition Is the Old Age
Pension Commission directed to con
sider? Existence of relatives or other
persons who are reaponslble and able
to help. The possession of property
by the applicant; any and all Income
the applicant may have so Indicated
by actual Income during the twelve
months preceding the application: or.
In general, that a pension Is needed.
"Is there any other provision for
recovery of pension payments by the
county? Yes. If, on tha death of a
pensioner, it is found that he was
possessed with property or Income In
excess of the amount allowed by law,
In respect to the amount of the pen
alon, double the total amount of the
pension In excess of that to which
the recipient wss by law entitled may
be recovered by the board as a pre
ferred claim from his estate, and paid
Into the treasury of the county. If,
after being granted a pension, a per
son receives property or Income which
changes the amount of the pension
to which he is eligible, any excess
psyments made shall be recoverable
aa a debt to the county."
The letter of the county court la
as follows:
"To Applicants for the Old Age
Pension:
"The 1B33 session of the state legis
lature passed a bill for old age pen
sions, but fslled to provide any funds
for its payment. It was left entirely
to the counties and most of the
counties are unable, on account of
the conatltutlonal six per cent limita
tion, to levy an amount which would
raise sufficient funds for this pur
pose. Jackson county was unable,
for this reason, to levy more than
S5000, and we estimate that It would
take 180.000 to provide pensions as
contemplated by this law.
"We wish alt applicants to know
exactly what the altuatlon is in order
that they may not be disappointed
In this matter. It Is entirely beyond
the power of the county court to
change the situation In thla regard.
We had hoped that the special session
of the legislature would change the
bill so that the state would provide
state funda for the payment of these
pensions, but It fslled to do so.
"We suggest that you fill out the
applications as contemplated by law,
as it will then be possible to act upon
them at such time as there may be
provided funds for this purpose.

Slim Summervllle la featured with
-Andy Devine and a horse in "Horse
play," a riotous feature-length com
edy forming one-half of the double
feature atractlon at the Craterian
theater until tomorrow night. Cecil
B. DeMille s "This Day and Age" Is
the other feature on the same bill.
"Horseplay" has Slim and Andy
as a couple of cowpuncners who sud
denly become wealthy and take It
into their heads to make a trip to
Europe, bringing along their pet
horse. It all leads to hilarious comedy.
Sally Eilers In
Double Bill For
Rialto Audience
"Wals of Gold," based on the novel
of the same name by Kathleen Nor
rls, plays at the Rialto theater to
morrow and Saturday. Sally Eilers,
Norman Foster and Ralph Morgan
are featured.
On the same program Charlie
Ruggles, Lionel Atwlli and Kathleen
Burke, remembered as the "Panther
Woman," are featured In "Murders In
the Zoo," a mystery thriller that Is
said to make the shivers play "Kit
ten on the Keys" along one's spine.
Tha story of "Walls of Gold" deals
with the problem of a young beauti
ful girl who must choose between
love and the comforts of wealth.
From the searching pen of Mrs. Nor
ris comes a character that- Sally
Eilers plays to perfection. It gives
her every opportunity to display her
truly fine talent for dramatic roles.
Norman Foster, cast In the masculine
lead opposite her, again proves him
self as worthy as he was in the
role of her lover In "State Fair."
Ralph Morgan, In the part of a middle-aged
romantic, with doubtful
ethics and peculiar artistic tastes, Is
superb.

ate data on farm buildings on 10 per

believed will constitute a prelimin
ary to farm loan preparations.

work has been possible in farm homs
