HOW TO LIVE AND WHEN TO DIE

Professor starr, chicago univer'
sity's expert on apes and things, says
he expects to live to be 120 years old
His recipe for long life is very simple;
Just be placid. always smile and
keep on the job all the time"
1t may be well doubted, though
whether years are the true measure
OF life The best measure of life is
experience-the things one has
thought out and thus made his own;
the feelings one has had; the lessons
one has learned.
In themselves, a few years more or
,eas count for little. Unless each day
arings an interesting task, contri-
button to experience, an addition to
the sum OF worldly knowledge or to
spiritual insight and ripeness of out
look, of what value is 1t?
The mere routine of living, the
chalking on life's scoreboard of un-
eyentful vegetable existence
lis unimDortant.
1t is keeping on the job" that
counts-keeping alert, keeping inter-
ested. being always in the van of the
progress of the times.

Of Oklahoma at least a million dol
lars annually. Fire loss in Oklahoma
is less than the average in the
United States, yet the rate is much
Ligher than the average. The rate in
Kansas on the same hazard is about
sixty per cent OF the Oklahoma rate.
che Missouri rate is approximately
Go per cent of the Oklahoma rate
Arkansas pays about 60 per cent as
much as Oklahoma does on the same
hazard while the rate in Texas is
about 62 IL per cent of our rate
This condition will continue as long

That the mercantile risks of the
state are being penalized outrageouslS
IS well demonstrated by the success
Of the Retailers Fire insurance COM
pany, an Oklahoma company owned
and operated by the merchants or
Oklahoma. raring 1914 this com
pany has practically doubled its |
premium income. 1t returns half or
its profits to its policy holders but in
suite of that its surplus has been

returning 26 per cent dividends to
policy holders and its statement in
cicates that the returns will be 80
per cent at least on business written
since September 1st of this year,
increasing as the company
realizes the increased earnings from
reserve fund. That a young
can double its premium in
,ome in a year at the same time that
Il doubles its surplus is indeed phe-
and affords convincing evi-
lence that the present insurance rates
ire exorbitant and unreasonable.
When this fact is coupled with the
additional fact that the company
let earnings for the year have ex-
'eeded its capital stock, the real
of the insurance situation is
,etter realized.

THREE bARONS HAVE
SIGNED CONTRACTS
Knisely, Nolan and Wagner
Are Early Birds of the
Baron Roster

Three Barons have entered the fold
and signed their contracts for 1914.
First and foremost among them are
Peter Knisely, who needs no introduce
tion, while the remaining members of
the early bird contingent are Pitcher
Nolan and Catcher Wagner. two young
sters signed by Moley. Although these
are the only ones out of nearly two
dozen who will make their appearance
at Riokwood next spring a certainty,
the chubby Baron chieftain is worrying
not a whit and is only biding his
time.
In a recent letter to President Baugh
the Baron leader stated that contracts
had been mailed to every player that
had been corralled and that ne ex-
pected in short while to receive the
signed papers from the regulars as
well as the new recruits.
Molesworth had not stated definitely
when he intends to break up his win
ter quarters in Fredericksburg. Nd, and
emigrate south. but it is more than
likely that he will reach town soon aft
er February 1, or in about three weeks
time.
