REDUCE INSURANCE RATES.
New Schedule is Put Into Effect by
Local Board of Insurance Agents in
Keeping With State Provisions.

LOCdl bOdlu O1 luSuIdIlCG ASClUS III
Keeping With State Provisions
The local Board of Fire Insurance
Agents have not followed strictly the
new rate laid down by the state de-
partment in the new schedule Of rates
which became effective today, but To-
cal agents assert that the rates offered
here are just as beneficial to the prop
erty owners as are the rates offered
by the state department and if any
thing better. The rates were adopted
by the local board at a meeting held
on June 23fd and it is claimed that
the rates here are more fair on account
of the fact that all the strings tied to
rates by the state have been eliminated
and the rates are fiat rates for all
buildings of the class designated. The
three year rates for Kenosha are an
nounced as follows: Brick metal roof
buildings, rate reduced from fifty to
forty cents; brick single roof from
sixty to fifty cents; frame metal roof,
from sixty to fifty cents; frame single
roof, from seventy to sixty cents. The
rate in the state schedule is exactly
five cents lower in each classification.
1t is said that the change in rates will
make a great reduction of the amount
that Kenosha people will pay in in
surance premiums. OF course the rates
are effective on all companies writing
insurance in Kenosha

ANNE MORGAN GIVES ADVICE.
Great Financier's Daughter Tells wo-
men How Economy is Form of
Patriotism.

'sThe American mother should dis
cipline her boy in the home until he is
fourteen years of age and then see that
he is given military training, = is the
expression of an opinion by Anne Nor
gan, only daughter of the late Pierre
pont J. Morgan, in the Boston Ameri-
can. Miss Morgan also says: "The
woman who in time of war saves the
dollar in the home saves the nation in
the field
Miss Anne Morgan will be remember
ed by those who met her when she
visited Milwaukee three years ago in
the interests of the vacation savings
funds which have since been organized
for working girls all over the country,
as a particularly forceful and attrac-
tive woman, then looking to be In her
early forties. Her jet black hair was
streaked with gray at either temple
but her skin was still fresh and her
cheeks red. She is philanthropist and
although her inheritance from her mil
lionaire father would allow her UNI
limited leisure, she is in reality one of
the busiest women, taking personal
part in the direction in the Girls Club
Of New York City where working girls
have inexpensive recreations furnished
them and where wholesome and mex
pensive meals are served. She spends
much of her time there giving service
in trying to make the club self support
ing and of benefit to the girls who come
to it.
Economize for Country's Sake.
"The study and practice of economy
in the time of war is as much a neces-
sity for the women with millions as for
her who lives in COTTAGE" says Miss
Morgan in the American. ''The more
one has in war the more the tax for the
maintenance of war. All false pretense,
all living beyond one S means must be
automatically cut to meet the war stu
alton.
"The woman abroad has found her
self with even her supply of necessities
reduced. In Germany and Austria the
supply of bread has been limited. In
England request has been made that
meat be cut off once week and that
luxuries be curtailed. In a democracy
like England, or our own, the saving
for the nation, economically, is a vol
unteer matter, and the individual wo-
man is, in the last analysis, The power
behind the salvation of the country
In modern war it takes every dol
lar that country can raise to pay the
expenses. Every dollar that goes into
munitson and the pay of an army comes
out of something else
eff one will trace the dollars that
form the basic power of a nation in
arms, they will be found separating in
millions of little streams, each one of
which goes to home.
This is one Of the conditions made
by modern war. 1t is made by the
tremendous increase in expense and
the remarkable extension of war con-
dition so that no part of national
whole escapes its share of the burden.
I" Woman's part is big, it IS dignifed
and it is important. 1t is womanly and
there is no question but that the Amer
lean woman will meet with intelligence
the situation, whatever it may be, If
War should come to our land. +"

FWE-YEAR-OLp BOY

Atlanta, Sept 22-It won't be the
mandate of the superior court or the
verdict of any tried and-true' twelve
men. but the manifesto of pink-cheek-
ed Harry Waller, aged 5, who wants
his daddy, despite the fight of his moth
er to take him to her bosom.
Little Harry set up MS judicial howl
in Judge George L. Bells courtroom
Yesterday afternoon. He bawled to the

"daddy!" Mrs Harry A. Waller, wife
of a merchant of 315 East Hunter
street. was proceeding against him for
alimony and the possession OF the
child.
The father had held the boy in his
arms. When the mother, according to
the decision of Judge Bell, took the
little fellow, he cried loudly for his
father. The scene that followed
prompted Judge Bell to advise the
man and woman to reunite in behalf
of the child. Whereupon Mr.. and Mrs
Waller left the courtroom together.

ABOUT THE GEORGIA PIG.

The fame of the Georgia boys and
the pig clubs has spread far over the
country. The editor of the Country
Gentleman makes the following COM
ment:
Lets try and get over the habit
of thinking of the Georgia pig as a
pesky razorback. Of course, there
are lot of those pigs that are built
for speed rather than comfort, but
the boys of that state have done so
much work in raising the right type
at low cost that it's about time the
state that has helped them do it get
some credit, too.
There are about 10000 boys down
in Georgia who belong to pig clubs,
corn clubs and four-cTop clubs. Most
of them are interestes in pigs, and the
results they have obtained will make
the boys of Iowa and Illinois and In
diana rub their eyes.
"The total profits from the hog in
these states are almost too big even
for the boys Imagination, but the
Georgia boys have made the highest
profit per pig, something that is easy
to get hold Of They lead in hav-
ing the lowest cost Of production.
These boys in the southern states
made $2077 profit per pig, counting
in those sold for breeders. The cost
of gain was 80 cents per pound.
"The number of boys engaged in
this work makes the results depend
able There is no question about the
adaptability of Georgia and the rest
of the South to profitable hog raising
by the old boys as well as the young
ones who have been leading the way.
"The razorback will soon be a
goner"

with a few remarks about relations
with husbands of the wives involved,
fifteen or twenty negro women at Hop
klns, twenty miles south of Waycross,
today decided to administer a thrash

her to leave the settlement
They started for Bessie with mum

and getting safe lead soon found an

women was Minnie Childs. She failed

For instance, the home merchant

they are made without cost The lady

her chances of getting a fair deal are

quantity. If that were true, peanut

Triton Gazette: The statement in
our news columns yesterday that
pheasants have been found by expert
ment to be of great value in clearing
fields of the boil weevil, one pheasant
keeping an acre free of the pest, bears
out statement published for the first
time in the Gazette two years ago
that turkeys were the finest pickers
of boil weevil on earth. This was
told us by a gentleman from Texas
who said his turkeys kept twelve
acre patch of cotton clear OF weevlls
fo- him. Turkeys, cartridges and
pheasants are all the same family. NJ
all South Georgia farmers can have
pheasants next year, but all can keep
a flock of turkeys, and all can keep
the hunters from killing the partdldg-
es on their farms this winter. Birds
of all kinds eat boil weevils; those
that stay on the ground eat most. The
partridge is that kind. Stop the
slaughter of the birds for one year,
at least, now that the weevil is here.
