FIRE RATES TO BE RAISED?

An increase of % per cent in pre-
miums on fire insuranc for three
year terms and of 8 II per cent, for
five-year-terms is proposed by the
fire insurance companies, which have
asked the State Rating Board to APP
prove their action. The schedule
was made last December, but the
board has not agreed to it yet.
Heretofore companies have been
charging but two years premiums
for five year policies. They wish to
raise the cost of three-year policies
half years premiums and fve-year
policies one years premiums.

vALuE OF YARN AGENTS

The services of farm demonstra-
ton agent in stephens County, Okla
homa. last year, caused one farmer
who followed instructions to gather
20 bales of cotton from 20 acres of
land, where the average yield in the
county was a little over one-third of
a bale to the acre. market for
fruit was created, and 3,759 bushels
of peaches were sold for % Genes a
bushel. Cleburne, Texas, peanut
buyers joined the agent in a peanut
campaign, with the result that four
carloads were shipped from the coun-
ty, says a special to the OklahOuan.
One boy in corn club made So bush
els to the acre, and tn eaverage for
the club was 3S bushels of corn to
the acre. In the boys cotton club
an average of 906 pounds of seed cot
ton to the acre was produced. One
boy aeclerd $97.55 on his plot of TWO
acres. A pig club lad made SAP from
his hog and took third prize at the
State Fair in Oklahoma City. Agent
w. b Tucker says: Perhaps the
greatest work does not show in fig
ures. The people have been urged
to raise their living on the farm, and
they have canned fruit in their eel
lars, potatoes, vegetables OF all kinds,
meat and lard, chickens and eggs
enough to pay for their groceries, and
many are beginning to market cream
enough to pay expenses"

j. G. McALISTER RESIGNS
AS JUSTICE or TOWNSHIP 3

Last Monday J. G. McAlister, of
Mead, came to the city and appeared
before the Board of County Com
missioners to tender his resignation
as Justice of the Peace of Township
No. 3, this county. The resignation
was accepted and Ernest L. Trout
of Mead, was appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by Mr.. McAlister's
resignation. The gentleman ex-
planned that the cause of his relin-
gushing the office was the fact that
he has been appointed to the position
of County Manager OF the Mutual
Aid Union. of Rogers, Arkansas, and
that the duties of the office would
require so much OF his time and at
tention that IT would be impractical
BILE for him to also hold the position
of justice of the peace. Mr.. MEAL
lister proposes to make full and
thorough canvass of the county in
the interest of the Mutual Aid I'm
ion. and viii commence at once.
Mr.. Trout was present at the time
of the acceptance OF Mr.. McAlister's
resignation and Immediately took the
oath of office.
Mr.. w. r. Smith, the well known
Mead school director, was also pres
ent. and all three OF the gentlemen
paid this office pleasant call.

BLUNDELL EXPECTS TO SERVE
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY
Englishman, Formerly Employed In
Durant,, Writes to Friends of
Conditions I'm England.
Says Little Doing In
Big Business.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Arthur asso-
ciated with Sam l. Hynds & Co.,
have just received an interesting
letter from Arthur Blundell, of Liv-
.erpool. England. who two winters
ago was in Durant working for S. l.
Hynds & Co.. and was received in
Durant March IA, having been IL
days getting here. which is consider
ed pretty good time in view of the
obstacles that confront all trans-At-
lantic traffic.
Mr.. Blundell writes that business
is very dull in all lines in England.
and that the cotton business is par
ticularly quiet. Food stuffs are very
high-many times higher than in
normal times-and that the supplies
OF the more common commodities
are rigidly conserved.
Raids over English coast cities by
air craft are common occurrences,
and always take their toll of life
and do tremendous damage to prop
erty. However. the people do not
seem to be much alarmed at Zeppelin
raids, he says.
The war department has called
all able-bodied single men into the
army, and within a short time eX-
poets to extend the call to include
the young and middle-aged married
men fgood bodily condition, when,
to quote Blundell's letter 81 expect
shall have to go and stop the bull
lets like the rest of them"
Mr. Blundell says that the people
in England get very little more real
war news than we get here, as it is
all severely sencored before being
given out to the public. He says
that every Englishman is confident
that the allied armies will not agree
to any sort of peace until the Ger
mans and their allies are severely
beaten, which they do not believe
will be long. He says there will be
big doiag in the spring.

MUCH OPPOSITION TO
SENATOR CORES POSITION
Much Unpopularity Coming to Him
Over His Opposition to Presi-
dent, Which, Incidentally,
The Upper House
Squelched.

Senator Cores resolution to warn
Americans off of armed merchant
ships. which. if it had passed, would
have had the effect of repudiating
President Wilson's entire foreign
policy, as set out since the start OF
the war. was not only dealt a heavy
death blow in the Senate, but has
had the effect of making the blind
Senator very unpopular among the
business element and the people in
general all over the State of Okla
homa. Ordinarily, Mr.. Gore, one OF
the most adept politicians in the
country, is able to feel the pulse of
the public well enough to do what
he sees public sentiment wants. More
than that. he has had way of get
ting things through the Senate when
occasion demanded IT, But this time
it looks as If he had gone off half
cooked.
Bryan County gave Mr.. Gore one
of the incest majorities he received
during the Gore Hayes campaign of
two years ago. but that the blind
Senator's star is fast waning in this
county is indicated by kilograms that
have been sent him from over the
county protesting against his rad
ical and unfair stand on the issue.
Aside from many individual messages
sent him, one telegram was signed by
several prominent men in body.
The message and signers are as fol-
lows:
I'VE very much deplore your
stand against the President. We
have utmost confidence in the
way the President handles our
foreign affairs. We trust you
will not further embarrass him
&C. c. Hatchett V. B. Hayes,
J. T. Mcintosh, c. B. Cochran,
w. F. Tyree, w. F. Pendleton.
Tom King. T. j. Perkins, and
b. S. Johnson"
That the Senator's unpopularity,
as a result of his unwarranted ac-
tions, is statewide in its scope, is in
dicated by countless unfavorable
newspaper articles in the Democratic
press, and the fact that the politi-
clans formerly on Cores side are
good and sore.
Politicians are interested now in
whether Gore will make an effort to
so to the Democratic National Con-
vention as delegate at large. There
are many who assert that such an ef-
fort on his part would be the signal
for a determined fight against him
by the administration Democrats
who have adhered to the foreign pol
icy of the President. 1t has been
considered foregone conclusion
that both the United States Sena-
tors would be placed on the delega-
tion to st. Louis.
1t is now suggested that way out
of this without precipitating fight
in the party would be to adopt plan.
that would debar all Federal officials
from positions as delegates. If this
shall meet with the approved of Sen
ator owen and possibly Congressman
Ferris. who is understood to be am
bilious to go as a delegate, the plan
may be adopted.
