BARON FISHER
FIRST SEA LORD
Appointed to Succeed Prince Louis Of
Battenburg, Who Has
Resigned.

London, Oct. 30.-The appointment OF
Baron Fisher, admiral OF the feet to sue
ceed Prince Louis OF Battenburg, as
first sea lord of admiralty, was an
nounced to-day.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-10-30

progress in general had been marked il
a greater measure than the standard o
living among individuals.
In prefaeing his remarks, Mr.. Fits re
ferred to the happy circumstances whicl
made il possible for the gubernatoria
candidate to speak in Barre, where, as he
said, a solid Gates delegation carried his
name into the state convention at Mont
pelier last month. He thought that Pro-
gressivism was on the wane in Vermont
! inasmuch as the party's own candidate
for lieutenant governor had conceded the
hopelessness OF the situation by allowing
his name to be used as a candidate for
! representative in Brattleboro. Most OF
those who strayed in 1912 had decided
that they can do more good within the
party OF their first choosing. Mr.. Fits
explained in detail the reformation
worked by the party in the matter of
representation in the national party con-
ycntion. The reform, he said, had its
genesis back in 1908, when if the con-
yention had followed the advice OF the
chairman of the Vermont delegation, the
split in 1912 would not have occurred.
That chairman, he said, was none other
than William p Dillingham;.
1t was when he was fairly launched in
his argument for Senator Dillingham;,
that the speaker referred to Vermonts
proud record in the Senate in the past
90 years and said that senator had
never asked for reelection and been
turned down. Vermont has habit of
keeping good men in Office and the habit
will not be discontinued next Tuesday,
he ended. He spoke in detail of Mr.. Dill
lingham's study Of immigration ques
tions, Of his reputation for knowledge
on immigration subjects in the United
States, and that his immigration bill
was good enough for the Democrats to
use when they came into power.
Mr. Woodruff Speaks.
'If elected to the assembly said Mr..
Woodruff in opening his remarks, II will
work for direct primary election law,
if it is simple, practical and easily
adapted to the needs of Vermont In
the same concise manner he proceeded to
outline briefly his attitude on other
that are likely to come before
the next session. He favored lump
salary for the legislators in preference
to per diem pay He thought the edu-
system should be 50 changed as
to give the boys and girls Of the smaller
town an opportunity equal to the
children in the larger town. He would !
favor woman assistant for the state |
factory inspector and greater power for
he inspector. himself, in the matter of
the factory ordinances. As
or the workinemen's corporation he fav
,red law modelled after the bill which
allied to pass the legislature in 1912 He
would oppose any bill that did not in
orporate the features especially desired
" labor. In closing Mr.. Woodruff
sked only those who would act accord
ng to the dictates OF their conscience to
ote for him next Tuesday.

BIG APPLE CROP WILL
BE GROWN THIS SEASON.

Traverse City.-The outlook for a
good apple crop for the current year
is encouraging. Last year carload
of Western Michigan apples was ship
ped to Manchester, England, after
they had been inspected by the West
ern Michigan Development Bureau
and the price secured was good. The
Development Bureau is now planning
upon inspecting a much larger num-
Der of apples this year than last, and
is planning upon having its label put
upon all apples that will come up to
the high standard determined upon
The "Sunnyripe" label will be used
upon these apples and will be a guar
antee of quality, which will insure
higher prices than what are paid for
common stock. Already the Bureau
has received requests for the inspec-
ton service and as the weeks go by
it is believed that most of the better
growers in the Western Michigan
country will plan to have their apples
inspected by the Bureau representa-
tives.

Fire Insurance Risks
In 1913, $I,426,012,869

$14,033.911. During 1913, Commits
sioner Winship says 214 companies
reported TO the department. The net
losses paid last year amounted TO
$5,272,092, while the losses incurred
reached Sh.SSl, 43l.
When the department was crelte,l
in 1870, bit S5 companies reported,
Ire risks written amounted to Sl3l,-
cor, 1873. The net premiums received
in 1870 totaled $1,613, 241.53, while
the net frc loss paid by the COM
panjes was only $97S,5S9.OS.
The percentage of fire losses, incur
red to premiums received increased
seven points over the previous year,
being .6035 for 1913. The average
cost of fire insurance per 500 of COW
erage, dropped during the year to
$1.01. In 1912 it was $1.08, COM
pared to sos in 1911.
80 Farmer Mutual Companies.
Judging from the experience of the
past three years, am Inclined to the
belief that this rate is normal rate
for the state, under present condi-
tions," says Commissioner Winship.
During the past year one new stock
fire insurance company completed its
organization and began business, MAX
ing total of five of these companies
in the state. These five companies
show an increase of admitted assets
over the previous year of $1,77l 1922,
The number of farmers mutuals OPP
Grating in the state the first Of the
year was 80, and the combined COM
panies had admitted assets amounting
to $769, 824.17.
"For some time past the Michigan
department of insurance has had un-
der consideration the operations of
nonresident agents seeking to place
business upon property and other
risks in this state. 1t has seemed
that there was considerable incon-
gruity in the construction of an act,
using language to the effect, that no
foreign company shall write insurance
through nonresident agents, that
would permit such nonresident agent
to do all the work of procuring and
placing a policy, except the final act
of counter signing, as has been the
custom. Following a ruling by the
attorney general an order was issued
by this department prohibiting for
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-07-18

eign companies from working through
nonresident agents.
"In spite of the warnings and adj
vice from the insurance department
in past years, and despite the passage
of law in relation to unauthorized
insurance, or insurance taken out in
non admitted companies, it is still
carried to some extent, though | be-
lieve that the educational methods
that have been adopted by various
supervising officials in the country,
together with the experience of policy
holders, is lessening this class of pol
icyholders each year. 1t is not UNI
natural that the case with which UNI
authorized insurance is obtained may
he conducive TO some of the over
insurance which is the cause of in
cendiarism and arson. | am of the
opinion that the over insurance evil
would be remedied partially by the
passage of an agents qualification
law.
Compel Use of Safety Match.
among other specific legislation
which | am inclined to recommend is
law for the prevention of the sale of
matches other than what is known as
the safety match. The Fire Associa-
ton of North America, composed of
fire marshals of the various states and
provinces of canada, passed a strong
resolution in favor of the enactment
of such law throughout the coun-
try, and we can only point to the
fact that in European countries,
which make it penalty for the use
of any other kind of match, fire losses
are reduced almost to a minimum

Greater Michigan Fair
Announce Change In Dept's

The management of the Greater
Michigan Fair, formerly known as
the West Michigan State Fair, is able
to truthfully state that the fair to be
held at Grand Rapids September 2, 3,
a, 5, and will be the most attrac-
tive, instructive and entertaining of
any fair ever held in Michigan. 1t
will be especially attractive for the
farmers as it will show the products
Of Western Michigan and will demon
strate to the world that these products
are the equal of any anywhere raised
whether they be livestock, poultry,
fruits or grains.
Livestock.
The new classification for livestock
including poultry, undertakes to fos-
ter and to promote the breeds of
greatest interest and Importance to
the breeder, the commercial standard
of which dominates the values. The
mission of the Greater Michigan Fair
is to give prominence to the products
of her state and when it is evident
that breed or kind has either lost
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-07-18

favor or failed to gain approval, to
give greater support to those adj
judged mostly and refuse to follow
after false idols. Thus, the CLASH
fication throughout all kinds, has met
the conditions. The successful ex-
hibitor will, because of this, have a
greater victory and the public will un-
derstand that it has been given a
demonstration of real merit and wise
selection.
The fair, as an educational insti-
tuition, cannot afford to spend time,
energy and means in following freaks
and fostering fads; on the contrary if
it fails to tell what is best for the
community of interest, it fails to be
a worthy enterprise.
Horses.
All recognized and established
breeds will find place to show and if
it happens one or more breeds must
be combined it is because exhibition
without competition means an empty
victory and fails to tell the public
whether the specimen shown is an
animal of quality and merit.
Cattle.
So uniform are the different breeds
that combination of breeds is not
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-07-18

practical. 1t is therefore the plain
duty of the Fair to apply its support
to the favored kind even at the cost
of the anihilation of the unpopular
breed.
Sheep.
To do justice to the public and sus-
tain her position as an educator, the
Fair must form classes so that TO
show the same specimen two sup
posedly distinctly different classes is
impossible. The fads of men have
widened the classification until the
difference in breeds can only be known
by the technical expert, who must
have been the breeder to be certain
of the difference. Here the Fair steps
between the faddist and the consistent
breeder.
All established breeds having gained
approval find separate class pro-
vided and when a specimen or a herd
is exhibited they will find competitors
with merit and the public will find a
real lesson and will know more be-
cause of the work of the Fair.
Poultry.
To make a place for every kind and
breed Of poultry shown by the travel
ing exhibitor would tax the capacity
of the Fair beyond a point where
neither the Fair, the public or the
real breeder would be properly recon-
pensed. Poultry has value as pro-
ducers and for food To poultry Of
this kind the Fair lends helping
hand and invites the breeder to com
pete for increased premiums to the
end that there may be a public demon
stration and test CT breeds. The egg
laying contest is made an important
departure The use of the parcel post
has put the producer at the door OF
the consumer, and it is being learned
that there are eggs and EGGS, so the
Fair seeks to fix standard for the
perfect egg.
