stamp out tuberculosis, thus plac-
the health of cattle fifteen times as
important as the health of the people.
prefer to live in a state that will
spend more money on me than on my
cow.'-Governor Lee Cruce.
At a fiye-course luncheon given in
the dining room of the First Metho,
dist Episcopal church at the close of
the first days session of the Inter
state Conference of Institutional Boys
Work Secretaries, Governor Lee Cruce
was to have been the toastmaster, but
was prevented from acting by the
pressure of affairs of state that de-
manded his personal attention. Prof.
w. a. Brandenburg, superintendent of
public schools in Oklahoma City, was
substituted by +. A. Garrison, state
secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A.
After explaining that he could not
remain throughout the banquet, and
giving expression to his regrets, Gov
Cruce delivered a three-minute talk
that was full of logic. The Conser
walton of Oklahoma Youth and Man
hood" was the theme discussed. Gov.
Cruce said the topic of conservation
Of youth and manhood is the most i'm
portant in every phase of life.
I'VE do not spend enough time, par
ticularly in a fast developing state
like Oklahoma, to the conservation
of human beings. We spent last year
100000 in an effort to eliminate the
tick from cattle, and only $4,000 for
the stamping out of tuberculosis. l.
prefer to live in state that will spend
more money on me than on my COW,
continued Gov. Cruce, 'and / consider
it of far more Importance to reach out
and grasp friendless boy by the hand
and start him off right in the world
than to accumulate a fortune. We
should not be recreant to the trust,
and we are waking up to the impor-
tance of the work. There are seven
times more men working to conserve
the youths in Oklahoma now than
there were three and a half years ago
II is only matter of a short time
when the conservation of young men
will be thoroughly worked out" he
concluded.

SAFEGUARD FOR THE FUTURE
Ability to Meet Every Contract Pro-
tected Provided for-Conference
Causes Leaders to Declare in Accord
With the M. W. A. Recent Statement

Chicago March 5.-Declarations
made by Sovereign Commander J. c,
Root for the Woodmen of the World
urging the need of the insurance com
missioners' uniform bill for regulation
of fraternal insurance societies, whose
total obligations to members exceed
seven billion dollars, have been made
public as result of a conference of
fraternal leaders in st. Paul regard
ing the Minnesota situation. This fol
lows upon the heels of a statement for
the Modern Woodmen made by Head
Counsel A. r. Talbot that Woodmen
should support the uniform measure,
which Is pending in nearly all state
legislatures which now are in session.
Commander Roots declaration was
the first public utterance for his So
ciety for the guidance of members and
state departments. A. II. Burnett,
general counsel, also expressed rea-
sons why the measure Is imperatively
needed. General Counsel Ben Smith
of the Modern Woodmen also went on
record in accord with the recent Tai
Dot statement. Commander Roots
statement is regarded as of utmost i'm
portance. He said:
bi1I pinn1v nrpvi5ac

of beneficiary societies on solid and
enduring basis, thus protecting the
membership and assuring ability to-
meet every contract.
ut deserves the support of every
legislator. 1t will end experimental
conditions and make the societies f.
nanclally reliable"
In Minnesota the insurance depart
ment has taken every opportunity to-
urge the enactment of the bill for
the safeguard of members against
early fraternal insurance mistakes.
The measure was adopted by the In
surance Commissioners Convention at
Mobile and Immediately endorsed by
the National Fraternal Congress and
Associated Fraternities of America as
a sound and yet prudent plan for the
conserving of those fraternal societies
which see disaster ahead of them on
their present basis of rates.
In Illinois the Illinois Fraternal
Congress will meet March 10 to take
formal action in support of the bill.
Oklahoma is awaiting the action Of
Illinois in reference to the bill.
