ICE PLANTS 10 AID
 FARMING CAMP PA|CN USE FOR COLD STORAGE
IS SUGGESTED BY MISSISSIPPI BANKER-NEWSPSPERS
 THANKED.

Little Rock, Jan. At a meeting of the permanent profitable farming campaign committee at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday afternoon a resolution was adopted expressing gratitude for the liberal support that has been given the movement by the newspapers of the state. It was esti- mated that since the campaign opened three months ago, the newspapers have published enough matter about it to make one column mile and half long.
 Lawrence Foote, a banker of Can ton, Miss, appeared before the com mittee and submitted scheme for turning the ice factories of the state into refrigerating plants during their idle months, for the handling of pork The plan has been in successful oper- ation in Mississippi, and has the ap- proval of Bradford Knapp of the demonstration bureau at Washington, who sent MT. Foote to Arkansas to interest the people of this state. Mr. Foote said he had visited the ice fac tories at Bonneville, Hazen, Searcy and Kensett and had received encour- agement. The manager of the plan at Warren was present and endorsed the movement, as did business men and representatives of the agricul- tural department and State Commis- sioner John H. Page,
 There are 35 towns in the state that have ice plants that can be used in this way, and the result would be a long step forward in the campaign of teaching Arkansas to feed herself, by the use of home grown products. The government will pay $500 toward the expense of putting on the campaign, and it will be necessary to raise $1 ,000 more to secure the services of Mir. Foote. A committee consisting of E. J. Bodman, H. F. Auten, Carl J. Baer, Max Heiman and George w. Rogers was appointed to consider the matter of raising the fund required.

GIVES OPINION ON CHILD LABOR ACT ATTORNEY GEN'L MOOSE SAYS LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO DAILY NEWSPAPER
 CARRIERS.

Little Rock, Jan. 7.--Attorney Gen. eral Moose, construing the child labor law, passed by the people in Septem- Der, 1914, effective January 1. holds that boys may carry newspapers be- fore and after regular school hours without violating the act" He says that it is his opinion that the deliv- cry of newspapers is not properly construed as an "occupation,' which has been defined to mean: "Occupa tion, as commonly understood, signi- fies vocation, calling, trade, the busi- ness which one principally engages Tn to secure a livelihood or obtain wealth. "
 "The business of delivering the morning and evening newspaper. by small boys which is done before and after school hours, and requires only an hour or two of time, could hardly be called an occupation when the larger part of the day is spent by the boy in the school room In other words, the carrying of the papers does not take up the principal part of the boys time and energies, and could hardly be called his regular business, calling, trade or employ ment."

FEW SPY FIRES, SAY
INSURANCE HEADS
Overworking Of Plants and
Green Hands Chief Causes,
Their Belief.

Oficers Of many FIRE insurance COM
panies do not believe all the stories they
hear and e these days that the nu.
merous fires and explosions in plants
manufacturing war supplies are attribu-
table to German spies. In fact, they
say that the majority OF these fires are
due to conditions arising from pushing
work In the plants day and night and
TO the employment Of green hands.
Furthermore insurance men are being
forced to the conclusion that they should
be pail for the additional risk in in
surfing such plants in which the physical
hazards have been 70 greatly increased.
various companies are considering the
advisability OF doing something In this
direction, but thus far no plan has pre-.
sented itself that h appealed TO all.
Henry Evans, president Of the Con-
tinental Insurance Company said yes
terday at his office, so Maiden lane:
Il Deleve that the great majority of
the hres In munition factories and i'm
other plants where val supplies are be.
ing made have been due 20 overcrowd-
ing. rushing Of work and to green hands,
ana not due to the so-calied German
spy. Experience has taught that when
ever there has been an industrial boom
with factories being worked under grea,
pressure day and night fire risks are
always Increased. ] think that We
should be paid a higher rate under the
circumstances"
Frederic c. Buswili, vice-presiden,
OF the Home Insurance Company, &c
Cedar street. expressed a like opinion as
to war plant fire causes.
II wish we could get paid for the ad.
d%itional physical hazard by reason OF
the operation Of these plants at high
pressure and h accompanying condi.
tions." he said.
Alfred NJ. Best. president Of the Al.
fred NJ. Best Company. 100 William
street. said there was good reason for
the belief that some insurance com
panies are getting wary about writing
nre policies upon plants manufacturing
any kind Of war supplies for the allies,
he added that the president OF a big
IRE insurance company had Informed
him many companies didn't hold So
called spies responsible. but rather
blamed the causes upon conditions under
which the plants are bieng operated.
II Is understood h u hrms wishing
to protect themselves against loss from
explosions. malicious damage or sabo-
tage have been obliged to go to the Lon
don Lloyds. owing to the fact that since
the wal began companies in this coun-
try have not written such insurance.
This necessitates "A trip OF a representa-
tive of the insuring concern to London,
because Of a State law making 1t impos-
sible for them to deal through brokers.
Many owners of munitlon and other
war supply making plants who never
insured before have taken on fire in
surance and others have increased their
policies. Many of the companies have
continued insurance already written but
have refused to deal with concerns not
known to them because of the great
risks.
