CONSERVATION WORK URGED.
Joint Committee Proposes Plan to
the Commissions in the Va
rious States.

Washington, May 24.-Inventories of
the natural resources Of every state
and territory are proposed in plan
just announced by the joint committee
OF conservation in this city. The joint
committee Is national headquarters
for the conservation movement, and
has Offices in the Wyatt building. ALI
of the 4S big national organizations
now working with the joint commit
tee through their conservation COM
mittees are to be asked to help, each
In it's own special field.
The plan contemplates the >practi-
cal application by the states and ma
tional organizations of the conserva-
ton principles declared by the gov
ernors and presidents of the great
national organizations in their notable
conference at the White House year
ago. Letters explaining the plan have
been sent out to the chairmen of the
official conservation commissions
which the governors of 80 states have
appointed, and letters to the national
organizations will follow
The joint committee suggests early
meetings of the state conservation
commissions to take up, first, the most
pressing conservation problems in the
respective states. For instance, In
Louisiana it is the terrific waste OF
natural gas which the state conserya-
ton commission is already trying to
stop. In Oregon pressing question
has been water power, which is also
leading issue just now in Michigan
and Wisconsin. In many states it is
the forest question. The question Of
the conservation of water power takes
front rank in great many states,
and 1t is becoming more and more
Of general issue.

Missouri Tribunal Rules No Insurance
Companies Paying More Can
Get License.

Jefferson City. Mo-, May 24-The
Missouri supreme court, sitting en-
banc. has sustained the state law
which denies licenses to insurance
companies which pay any of their Off
GERS salaries in excess of $4,000. The
act was passed two years ago and
has been the subject of extended liti-
cation.
The decision was on an application
from three large eastern companies
for writ Of mandamus to compel
the state insurance department to Is
sue license to them. The writ was de-
MED to the petitioners-the Equitable
Life Assurance society, the Prudential
Insurance Company and the Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company.
While upholding the validity of the
statute the court declared that 1t was
unwise legislation and recommended
It's repeal.
st. Louis, May 24.-Local managers
of the three insurance companies affect
ed by decision of the Missouri supreme
court, declared that it will have no eff
feet until 1t has been passed upon by
the supreme court of the United
States. They said that the case was
submitted only after this understand
ing had been reached between the
company attorneys and the state au-
thorities, and that the companies will
be allowed to continue acting in
this state pending an adjudication Of
the appeal. If the supreme court Of
the United States upholds the Mis-

PAPER FOR MONEY.
Extreme Care and Secrecy Used In its

Extreme Care and Secrecy Used In tts
Manufacture.
The various great nations devote
their secret processes of manufacture

to render counterfeiting more and
more difficult.
Our own government guards with
extreme care every detail of the man

Importance upon it's secret of getting
silk thread into the composition of the
paper itself.
The efforts of this government, how
ever, are not nearly SO painstaking as
those put forth in making the tiimsy
paper used for Bank of England notes,
which are probably the finest paper
money in the world. These notes are
manufactured from fine Irish linen,
and the peculiar properties of the Test
water $50 called from the river of that
nance produce paper of purity and
texture unsurpassed. The secret Of
the security of the Bank of England
note against forgery and counterfeit
ing is said to be entirely in the paper
itself and not in the printing.
In addition, the notes show water.
mark SO cleverly devised that an ex-
pert from the mill can tell by glance
at the date Of manufacture the very
name Of the employee who made 1t.
The watermark is produced by de
sign countersunk In the woven wire
bottoms Of the trays in which the hot
paper pulp is poured and dried. 1t has
never been successfully initiated.
Extraordinary precautions are taken
for the security of the mill where these
notes are made, as well as of every
thing In the MILL There Is. of course,
q staff of police constantly in attend

The watchmen who patrol the mill
corridors every night must pass at
each quarter of an hour clocks of won

volving dials of which are pierced with
holes, which at the precise moment
the Waterman is due before them pass

PROMPT WORK ON ROADS

AIter Each Rain.
Jackson township, n Black Hawk
county, probably holds the record for
putting its roads in shape, for after a
rain every foot of road is dragged be-
fore noon of the following day. This
credit is largely due to P. Ransom,
who is road superintendent, who has
made study of good roads and. the
efficiency of the road drag. He has
perfected drag that is said to be su-
perior to anything ever used for road
purposes and this Improved drag is a
big element in the condition of the
roads Of that township. AS soon as
1t clears up after rain Mr. Ransom
gets busy on the rural phone lines
and calls out every sub-district and
the roads all over the township are
worked.

Cough Syrup is free from all opiatcs
and it cures the cold by gently moving
