TO ENTER LIQUOR FIGHT.
German American Alliance Urged to
Oppose Prohibition.

Cincinnati, Oct. with delegates
representing Is states present. the
biennial convention of the National
German-American alliance opened
here in Turner hall today.
One of the principal slogans of the
organization, anti-prohibition, will be
sounded tomorrow by the president,
Dr. C. J. Hexamer. of Philadelphia,
in his annual address. DR.. Hexamer
believes the alliance. with its $780,
900 members, scattered over thirty
four states. should make itself felt
more than ever in the fight against
all laws of prohibitory nature in
dealing with the liquor question. He
will cite the defeat of Governor Har-
ris of Ohio. as due to the German
American voters.
President Hexamer will also assert
that two other main objects of the
alliance are to bring about the
teaching of German in the public
schools and to work for the universal
peace of the world.

KEEP OUT COYOTES.
Government Finds a Fence That Will
Protect sheep Herds.

Washington, Oct. "A successful
remedy against the inroads of the
coyote in the sheep f1ocks of the west
has been found, it is believed, in the
coyote-proof fence experiments which
have been carried on during the last
year by a special agent for the forest
service at Billy Meadows on the Wal
lows national forest reserve in oregon,
today by the forest service.
One of the greatest enemies of the
sheep industry is the coyote, and in
keeping him out of the sheep pasture
the chief purpose for which the fence
Coyotes came to the fence nearly every
night for ninety-five days, according to
the report, and occasionally followed
it for several miles, but not one sue
ceeded in passing over or under ex-
cept when the snow was deep enough
to give them an easy jump.
Summarizing the experiments for
the season of 1908 the report says:
A Wolf Proof Fence.
1.-THE coyote proof fence was entire-
ly successful as protection against
coyotes; not successful against bear;
still problematic against bobcats; not
successful against lynxes. of course
not successful against badgers.
1.-THE damage, however, from bear,
bobcats and lynxes is small when conn
pared to the large losses from the
coyotes
1t was apparently a simple matter
for the grizzly bear to pass through
the fence between the woven wire and
the first barbed wire or between the

The Oregon sheep fence is only
coyote tight, it is not bear strong or
elk-high. One of the interesting fea-
lures of the report relates an expert
ence of an elk with the fence. A big
elk struck the fence on a dead run,
apparently not having seen it. The
fence right there collapsed, but elk
hide and elk hair remained to show
what had happened. A trail of blood
led across the pasture. to show that
the elk had not got off unscathed.
Moreover, he had his eyes open when
he struck the other side and his
tracks showed where he took the fence
on the run, hurdling it cleanly.

policies. A policy of $1,000 carried on
the profit sharing plan costs the
holder a trifle over $1,000 in twenty
years. During that time the earnings
of that amount must be divided be-
tween the company and the policy
holder whereas had the individual
paid straight life premium and in
vested the remainder of the money,
winch ne would have paid as
premium, in Kansas business enter
prises, the investment would have
amounted to more than twice the
amount of the policy With the ordi-
nary participating policy, in case of
death of the insured during the term
of twenty years, even if in the nine
tenth year, only the face of the pol
Icy will be paid to the beneficiary and
the earnings of the. $1,000 permium
for the nineteen years remains the
property of the insurance company.
The policies of the Home Mutual
are written to pay death loses and
yet may be used as collateral when
needed after three years. A person

unable to continue the payment of
the premium then he may surrender
the policy and receive back a certain
per cent of the premiums paid in or
may have a certain amount of paid
up Insurance extended during the life
of the insured and payable at death.
ROHcleS LOT All.
The present line of insurance COM
panies having a reserve fund to pro-
tect the mem bers against increases in
assessments or premiums have placed
prohibitive rates on their policies for
the average man or woman. Clerks
and laborers are unable to meet the
premium in a single annual payment
and the smallest policy is written for
not less than $1,000. The Home Mu-
tual will write policies for $3.50. $500,
$1,000 up to $4,000. No policy writ
ten for more than $4,000 on one risk
and the premium is within reach of
all.
Insurance companies without re-
serve funds may. write policies at a
rate within the reach of the poor man
but as he grows older and less able
to earn a livelihood and the funds
with which to meet the premium, the
company increases the assessments in
proportion to the risk. The ultimate
result is that the insurance must be
dropped and the years of economy
and thousands of dollars are lost.
With the Home Mutual the clerk or
the mechanic may carry a small pol
verses he may secure a cash loan on
the policy or may sell the policy to
the company, thus securing assistance
in the time of need.
No Penalties Attached.
The rate charged on a policy, the
premium of which may be made pay |
able monthly, is but five cents high |
err than the rate charged by other le- |
gal reserve companies where their |
premiums are payable annually. The
