Important Meeting
Insurance Componies

+ tlanta, Nov. 7.-Notices have
Just been received by stockholders
Of the Cooperative Agency com
pany of a special meeting to be
held at Rome, Ca, on December,
2nd., 1912 at which meeting action
is to taken on the proposal of the
State Mutual Life Insurance com
pany for surrender of the con
tract now in effect between the
two companies.
1t is further outlined that the
proposition consists of the insur-
4nce company issuing to the agency
company 100000 of its Income
III guaranty fund" certificates,
for the surrender of the contract
held by it. These certificates bear
interest al five per cent per annum =,
and will give to each stakeholder
of agency company approximate
iys 5000, of certificates for each
$500 OF stock.
A similar proposition has also
been made to the insurance COM
pany's general agents for the sur
render of their contracts; viz. $2OO
of certificates to be issued and pro-
rated amongEthe general agents in
proportion to their several contract
earnings. a 1t is understood that
the earnings of Gthe Cooperative
Agency company's contract and
the combined earnings of tie gen
eral agency contracts approximate
$50, 900. each.
Y If these propositions are accept
ed it will definitely fix the "renew-
al commission expense" OF the in
surance company, and any increase
in premium income will not be
taxed by commissions to either the
agency. company or the general
agents, rrand will relieve the insur-
ance company of a liability equal
to the combinedt earnings OF the
Co. peratives Agency company
and the"general agents, as neither
these certificates nor. the interest
thereon constitute legal liability
according to the rulings of the in
surance department and the attorn-
ey general.

Mrs. Wilson'S Recipes
ForECooking Rice

Atlanta, Nov. Tt is highly
prob able, as the result of Wood
row. Wilson's election, that there
will be national reform in the
process of cooking rice.
True, this is not one of the re-
forms dwelt on in the democratic
platform, nor has it been promised
to Democratic. voters,S but. it. is
pretty sure to GOMEZ. nevertheless.
At present. SO the cooks and
housewives sincerely b e ! lev e,
Georgia is the only state in the
union, and possibly the only spot
in the, upivelse barring only China,
where the art of cooking rice is
known, to perfection.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Geor-
gia girl, who will now be mistress
of the Whitehouse, still cherishes
among her fondest possessions the
recipe for cooking rice which she
learned from an old Georgia negro
NANNY in her girlhood days.
The recipe will now spring into
national and even international
fame, strengthening the bonds OF
the states and of the nation. 1t is
as follows, in Mrs. Wilson's own
words:
"Take two or three quarts of
boiling water, putting salt to taste;
one cup of dry rice cleaned bv
rubbing through napkin and
poured in a little at time. Let it
boil hard twenty minutes, then
drain through a colander and let
it stand on a hot part of the stove
for a few minutes. If that isn't
beautifully cooked rice. ask any
southerner!"

explanation.
A letter was on the hall rack which
had been sent by messenger. He
broke the seal with nervous haste. 1t
was from Bivens asking him to call
his Office telephone at IL o'clock.

stepped into the parlor and threw them
into the crate. Some one was play

Service by striking 1t is doubtful
II they could W get back"
1t was also stated that a large
number of the cleaners do want to
and cannot work more than a few
days a week because of their age.
IF we must have twenty-si x fore
men, or about one for every ten or
a dozen laborers. why not give the
job to some of the old laborers who
are capable and worthy to fill the
positions" said a leading member Of
the Street Cleaners Union. 1t is this
unfair distribution of our funds that
we object to. If the money is limited
why not get along with fewer fore-
men,"
The question of a strike has be-
come so serious that ARRANGEMENTS
are being made for Civil Service ex-
aminations for street laborers. There
are only thirty now on the eligible
list. 1t was said today that an adj
vertisement would be placed in the
papers at once for laborers to take
the examination.

PREVENT CHEATING PUBLIC
p. j. caufieId, of Newark, Is
Chosen Vice-President.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 2s.-Legis-
lation will be sought to have the State
fix the sizes of all boxes in which
fruits and vegetables are sold and
the size of baskets, the declaration
that a barrel should contain los
quarts, and that all packages in
which food is sold should be marked
with their weights, so that the buyer
will know what he is getting and will
be protected against persons who try
to impose on the public.
Those who will urge the enactment
of these regulations. which are to
have penalties attached, are the seal
ers of weights and measures Of New
Jersey, who met here yesterday and
disguised the best methods to secure
the public against such fraudulent de-
ceptions.
Sixty of these officials, representing
all the important cities and every
county, answered roll-call and elect
ed the following officers: President,
William L. Waldron, Trenton; vice.
president, P. j. Caufield, Newark;
secretary and treasurer. P. J. Gala

! Although it IS claimed that the city
has no money at hand to satisfy the
demands of the street cleaners and
other laborers in the employ Of the
& Board Of Works, the dissatisfied
workers are inclined to think diff
~ferently.
They point out that the city EN-
ploys twenty six foremen at $1,000 a
year and two assistant superintenl
dents at 5 2,100 each, making a total
expenditure of $35. 400 for supervision,
while the entire amount paid to the
Ss2 street cleaners in 1911 was only
x1tS, 9s4.s5, or an average of less than
$3.50 a year to each worker. More
B than 30 per cent. of the total %expendi-
ture for labor is spent by the city
for supervision.
Cost Of Supervision Excessive.
II IL pointed ont that the Pennsyi-
Ssania railroad and other large en-
pIoyers never allow the cost Of SUI
pervision to exceed ~ per cent. of
the cost Of labor and tools. In many
instances tho cost of supervision IL
kept.st 5 per cent. of the cost Of
labor, and vet the city Is now paying
nearly iene-third as much to. the SUI
iperrisors Of street cleaning as it
does fox the actual performance Of
the work.
The street cleaners assert that
their foremen are sometimes absent
from duty three or four days at a
time.-Ihey contend that part of the
money paid for political patronage"
IN the form of supervision, should go
to them.
Foremen Received Increase. :
There is plenty of money in the
appropriation for u.s." said one la
borer. "only somebody else gets it.
That's the whole trouble"
Just q year ago." said another,

tice they got it without any trouble

statement that a strike on the part

win Hold Conference.
Those in charge of the departments
of the Board of Works that would be
affected by the threatened strike care
little about the attitude of the dissat-
isfied laborers. They aver that work
would not be tied up and that they
have no control over wages. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Mungle. however. a
conference will be held this week and
the situation will be gone over. and.
