Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Nav 17.-In an
opinion written by Justice Turner of
the supreme court, William Anderson,
who was guardian for Lucy Anderson,
nee Brown, is held responsible for the
loss of loan he made while guar
dian, on the ground that he was neg
ligent in securing his wards interests
The judgment of the Tulsa county
district court is sustained in the case.
While Anderson was guardian for
Lucy and Nellie Brown he made n
loan to the Limestone Livestock COM
pany of $4,000. The company had
live stock and a mortgage was given
on them as security for the loan. II
was also condition that the live stock
should be insured ana the insurance
be additional collateral to secure the
loan. II was shown that no insurance
was placed on the live stock. The loan
was afterwards lost. The high court
says the guardian was negligent and
should have been charged with the
full amount Of the loan.

Co realize what our nearest neighbor is mp a. gaiust and Canada's condition Is not one-half as bad as that of a num- bcr of thc European countries at the prcsut time In Premier Borden's appeal to Canadians he says.
 Since the war began more than 37O.OOO mn have enlisted in this country. Two hundred and fifty eight thousand have gone overseas and more than 100000 are now in the battle line During the first ten months of the present year the num- bcr sent forward will aggregate l41,- OO0.
