REDUCTION
Is SOUGHT
Matter is Discussed at Meeting Of
Business Men; F. ]. Meek
Outlines Plans for Co
ing About 1t

At a meeting of a number of repre-
sentative business men, held yester
day in the chambers of the Grady
County Commercial and Farm bureau
initiatory steps were taken in q
movement which, it is thought, will
result in a material reduction of the
insurance rates in Chickasha.
President William Reinheimer, oi
the Retailers association, presided at
the meeting. while Arthur Ersland
secretary of the association, acted as
secretary of the meeting.
Following general discussion as
to the insurance rates now being paid
by those engaged in different lines OF
business, F. j. Meek of Oklahoma City
addressed the melting and made state
ments showing that the rates could be
SO adjusted that general satisfaction
might be given to all property own
ers.
The speaker outlined plans whereby
he felt the business men, and other
citizens Of Chickasha carrying insur.
ance at premium rates which they be
lieyed excessive, could properly get
the matter before the state insurance
board and receive a readjustment oi
those rates.
The speaker suggested that a com.
mittee be appointed to visit all busi
ness men and other property owners,
and have each of those visited to write
the insurance bureau at Oklahoma
City, and get a fully itemized state
ment of the rates they we're now pay
ing-statements showing on what
items, if any, they were being pen
allied" After this, the speaker sug
gested, all items calling for the in
crease of certain per cents, on the
''penalizing" card should be removed
the insurance company's local repre-
sentative notified and asked to reduce
the rate proportionately with the re-
moving of the Objectionable feature
Following this, Mr.. Meek suggested
the insurance department of the state
be called upon to act, in event the in
surance companies failed to comply
with the demands made, and in case
the rates demanded were not correct
as per the state schedule.
President Reinheimer OF the Retail
ers association will appoint a commit
tee within the next few days, to cal
upon all business men of the city
whether or not they be members Of
the retailers to see how many may
become interested in the matter.
Among those who attended tbs
meeting yesterday evening were
William Reinheimer. J. B. Kelsey, VIII
Owsley. L. Erlick, n C. Ross, S.
Goldsmith, B. ]. Rogstad, Arthur Frs
land, F. J Meek and number o
others.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 16.--British
submarines have been entering the
Baltic and North seas one or two at

been so effective that the Baltic Is
almost cleared of German shipping
and the supply OF Swedish ores for
the German munition factories is
threatened.

In speaking of the exceptionally
heavy enrolment, President Austin of
the college. said:
1T is very unfortunate that our
plant is not large enough to accom-
modate all the young women who
want to come to this institution.
Scarcely day passes that we are not
in receipt of communications urging
us to accept room deposits for reser-
vations in Nellie Sparks hall for the
school year of 1867. Were we to
open our books now for reservations
for next year, there would not be a
room left in ten days time.
President Austin further stated that
because of the great increase in the
enrolment it became necessary to or
ganize two new literary societies in
addition to the two old ones. Nothing
but regular college students are Per
mitted in the two new societies. Miss
Virginia Allen of Duncan was elected
president of one and Miss Helen Nc
Rec of Granite. president of the other.
Each of these societies have an en-
rollment of sixty. The other two So
cieties have a membership of one
hundred eighteen each.

SELLING OUR HORSES and MULES.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following state
ment Of interesting facts about the sale
of American horses and mules since the
war broke out:
"We have been selling horses abroad
to the number of %. 900 annually. Their
average value has been Sl42.
"Mules have been exported to the
number of 5000 year, valued at Sl55
each.
"Since the war broke out we have
sold abroad 215, ,759 horses at an average
price of 1920, and 80, 229 mules valued
at over $3.50 the head. That is, we
shipped away in ten months nearly as
many horses and mules as in the past
eight years.
THE man who has a breeding mare
may well study these figures.
There may be no present scarcity OF
horses and mules in this country, but II
the war continues there will be. 1t will
nav to raise colts. And for the man
who has salable horses and wishes to
equip himself with the tractors or mo-
tor-drive carriages, the present time
would seem to be favorable for making

HONEST INSPECTOR
NOT ENCOURAGED
Local Juries Won't Convict, Says
Mrs. Florence Kelley.
SHE WANTS A FEDERAL LAW

Child labor laws will not be enforced
until there is a federal law which the
government will enforce. So Mrs.
Florence Kelley told the Eleventh An
nual Conference on Child Labor at its
recent san Francisco meeting. During
her wide and varied experience Mrs
Kelley has accumulated many exam
ples Of why a state child labor law
can never be properly enforced and
why the federal government must take
a hand in it.
"After state child labor law is on
the statute books the difficulties of the
inspectors are only part of the obsta-
cles that confront the state in getting
that law enforced. If an inspector
works very hard he is commonly re
moved-that is. if he works hard and
honestly and ably. l have watched in
spectors working hard, honestly and
ably being removed for thirty-three
years. One who does not work hard
and ably and honestly will probably be
removed anyhow when the politics of
the state changes.
~While the inspector is working hard
ablv and honestly it is exceedingly diff
dcult to get a law enforced, if prosecu-
ton is required. because local magis-
trates are usually reluctant to enforce
it and local iuries to uphold it. Some
years AGO we were prosecuting in Chi
cago a certain sweater who had EN-
ployed sixteen girls illegally. A dozen
witnesses were subpoenaed, and they
all swore cheerfully that the law had
been kept, although they knew that
they had been working illegally that
day.
AThe justice thought it merry jest
| that we could not get warrants against
those perjured witnesses. He said, If
1 were going to choke my Office up
with perjury suits against witnesses
In minor cases we would not get any
business done so those perjured Wit
nesses went scot free"
AS further illustration Mrs. Kelley
smoke of the difficulty the New York
state Department Of Labor has expert
enced in the past two years in prose
cutting Gamers. The trouble was not
with perjured witnesses there, but with
local iuries. The local juries would
not convict because most Of them were
farmers who sell their goods to the
canneries and had no idea of partici-
pating in the punishment Of their Gus
toners. "That condition IS so wide
spread throughout New York, New Jer
sew. Maryland and Delaware" said
Mrs. Kelley. "that there is no present
hone of enforcing the child labor law
in the canneries Of those states with
local jurors in local courts.
81 do not share the millennial belief
that we shall in any near future have
oar laws obeyed by the agreement Of
EMPLOYERS and employees in industries
in which the employees are inorganic
ed. Laws are obeyed only where there
are powerful organizations of workers
to compel obedience. But where there
is n body Of helpless aliens, rs in mos
sweated Industries, or in remote VII
lagos far from the searchlight it viii
take n great deal Of evidence to con
vince me that all employers will vol
untarily obey the child labor law. Ou
immediate need is the passage Of
federal child labor law to enable th'
federal government to enforce tn
law"

Gods will among men; in the hearts of
men. Since men are the temples or
compose the Temple of God, the centre
of mans being is to be the final basis of
the Kingdom of Heaven. The Holy
Scriptures assure US that the saints will
dwell together in the future world, as
it were a kingdom of state of God.
(See Luke 16; 2O:38 Rom. $40; Rev.
7:9 ; Heb. 12:22.) They will partake of
a common felicity. When Peter tells US
to look for new heavens and new earth
Oh. Pet. 3:l3.), he may mean a new
order of the present world. Jesus as
sured his sorrowful deciples that here
after they should see Him again. and be
with Him and enjoy His personal inter
course and friendship in the place to
which He is going. Our future blessed
ness will consist in Being with Chris" "
and beholding His glory. This will be
our chief joy in heavenly state.
CONCLUsION-The Holy City. Let US
look now at the last prophesy: "And
/ saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God,
made ready as a bride adorned for her
husband. 8"
This was the consummation of the
promise of our Lord Il 90 to prepare a
place for you, | will come again and take
you unto myself, that where am there
We may be also. This is the prepared
place for a prepared people. This is
heaven-a new earth wherein dwelleth
Righteousness. We shall look back to
the old earth experiences as the sue
cessful business man looks back to the
little school house in which he learned
the first principles the kindergarten
where he first come to know things.
Heaven is here. Here are the potencies,
the elements of our future bliss and
greatness. Here where we have failed,
we will conquer here where we have
shed bitter tears, they shall be wiped
away. We shall be new for in this new
creation God stays. Behold l will
make all things new. - Earth shall be-
come heaven, because God reigns and
His will is done on the earth as it is done
in the highest heaven.
