1t should be the purpose of every
farmer to get every acre of ground
for fall wheat into first class condi-
ton. A little extra work on the
summer fallow, so that proper filth
may be secured, is time and money
well spent. Too much of the ground
is improperly prepared and is not in
fit condition to produce a full crop.
1t is often hard and lumpy, without
moisture, and in a condition such
chat plant food does not become
readily available. Grain will not GER
inmate well in such seed bed, and
even if it should terminate, normal
growth can not proceed. If all of
the wheat ground in the state of
Washington could be properly pre-
pared this fall, before the seed is
sown, splendid increase over an or
binary season in wheat production
could almost be insured.

INsUmNG ouR FIGHTING MEN

The plan of Secretary Of the Treas
ury McAdoo for life and indemnity
insurance for the soldiers and sailors
OF the United States, after discussions
by representative Insurance men and
report on by advisory committees.
has been put in definite form and
submitted to President Wilson.
The Presidents comment was as
follows:
I have examined the enclosed pa
pers very carefully and take pleasure
in returning them with my entire APP
prevail"
A Dill has been introduced in Con-
gress along the lines suggested by
the Secretary of the Treasury and
approved by the President.
In essentials it is proposed that the
government furnish at cost to the
soldiers and sailors OF the United
States life and indem nifty insurance.
The main features of the Secre-
tary's plan are that the government
shall bear all the cost of the admin
istration of the insurance plan and
that no expense OF any kind shall be
charge on the funds created by the
payment of premiums by the soldiers
and sailors. Relieved of overhead
charges, eight dollars a year for
every thousand dollars insurance will
be an adequate charge, under the
plan, and this figure will put the
maximum insurance of ten thousand
dollars within the reach of practic-
ally every private soldier or sailor.
insurance in private companies
would cost many times this sum for
mon actually engaged in warfare.
After the war the insurance may
be converted into other forms. The
insurance is to be payable in INSTALL
ments, is non-assignable and free
from the claims of creditors of the
insured or of the beneficiary, and is
limited to the wife, children, and
other specified kindred.
II total disability results or disease
is contracted in the course of serv-
ice the compensation is to be used
on percentage of pay, with a mini
mum. however, of from 40 to rs dol

WOMEN CAN HELP

Mrs, Housewife, are You canning
and preserving perishable fruits and
vegetables NOW?" is the question
sent out from the nations capital by
Secretary Houston of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
The Department of Agriculture
realizes that it is the desire of every
woman in the country to serve the
nation in this great crisis" said Sec
rotary Houston, and | wish there
fore to suggest particular ways in
which women can render a definite
national service. | urge not only
that every home assist in the conser-
walton of the surplus perishable fruits
| and vegetables by canning, preserv-
ing. picking, drying, and storing, but
also that every experienced woman
place her knowledge at the disposal
of her neighbors.
AT the beginning of the war the
farmer and gardener responded
promptly to the appeal issued by the
President, and Nature has been
bountiful. Now is the time for the
consumers to do their share.
Specifically, may l not suggest
that every woman take steps to do
her share to call meetings of mem
bers of organizations to which she
BELONGS for the discussion Of the sub
ject Of the conservation OF perishable
products. At these meetings those
members Of the organizations or 9th
ers who are known to be skilled in
canning, preserving, etc, might be
invited to give demonstrations Of
these processes. That the commun-
ity generally may Denefit by these
gatherings | suggest that. through
local newspapers, invitation be ex-
tended to the public to attend. and
that the local press be asked to re-
port the meetings so that the promo
ganda may be spread among those
not present. More than one meeting
should be held. In fact, during the
next several weeks, when the har-
vesting season is at its height fire.
quent gatherings of this kind would
be helpful.
1t seems to me desirable also that
women's organizations should CO.
operate with the local food officials.
so as to be able to utilize surplus per-
ishable fruits or vegetables consigned
to markets unable to absorb them.
ut is of the first Importance that
these perishable crops shall not be-
wasted. They must be consumed
locally to as large an extent as DOS
sible. thereby lessening the drain on
our store of staple products and re-
lieving the pressure upon the trans
portation agencies.
The season for the conservation
of perishable foods is short one.
and feel that efforts expended now
by the women of the nation for a per-
iod of three or four weeks will ac-
complish a splendid and valuable
work"

ing the sums set aside by the soldiers
and sailors out of their wages.
The insurance is not to be a gift
Of the government but is to be paid
for out of the pay OF the insured men.
The government, however, is to take
upon itself the cost OF collecting and
administering the funds and also the
extra hazard caused by the war, the
rate Of eight dollars per thousand be-
ing normal rate in peace time and
an entirely inadequate rate for war
risk.
The workmen $ compensation laws
and the experiences OF insurance
companies in this country and the
laws and experiences Of other coun-
tries have been studied and used in
the preparation of this bill.
Secretary McAdoo emphasizes the
justice and rightfulness of such a
function of the government by citing
the fact that in this war we are not
relying upon the volunteer system
but are drafting American men and
compelling them TO undergo danger
and, If necessary. make the supreme
sacrifice for their country. A high
er obligation, he says, therefore rests
upon the government not only to-
wards the fighting men but towards
those dependent on them and a lust,
generous and humane government
should see to it that so far as is prac-
ticable they should be given this pro-
lection, not as a matter of mercy or
charity, but as a matter of right. And
that they should enter into the serv-
ice OF their country with the certain
knowledge that If death or mis-
fortune comes to them they and their
dependents are protected by insur-
ance afforded them by their govern
ment as part of the compensation for
the service they are rendering their
country.
In conclusion Secretary McAdoo
points out that while this plan may
call for considerable expenditures at
present, yet the eventual cost to the
government OF this plan will be very
much less than that which would re-
suit from the adherence to the pres
ent pension program of the country.
and, further, that the pension sys-
TEN will not provide the same bene-
fits nor cover the subject in the same
comprehensive, humane, and equit-
able way.
There is no use to which the funds
derived from the sale of Liberty Loan
Bonds can be put which will be more
cordially approved by the people of
the country than to provide this just
and deserved protection to the men
who are Drawing all the dangers of
this war on land and sea in the serv-
: ice of their country.

MENNONITES HAzED

Alexandria, Nov. 15.-Andrew and
Zachrias Hoefer, youthful members
Of the Rosedale Huttrische society,
commonly known as Mennonites, are
home on leave of absence from the
Camp Funston, Kan, cantonment.
Their stories of how they have been
treated by the government and their
objections to military service are oc-
cupying the attention of their people.
The young men are two of IL who
were SEN from the Rosedale colony.
All claimed exemption on the ground
OF religious belief. but they were ov-
erruled.
The men say they are not doing
any work that borders on military,
but are all working in kitchens feed
ing soldiers. They refused to drive
trucks on the ground that they might
have to haul ammunition. They re-
fused to wear uniforms for fear that
someone might mistake them for sol
diers. However, their boards have
disappeared and the youths refuse to
tell how or when indicating, how
ever, that 1t was a horrible ordeal.
Baths, too, have been a part of their
education there, the first ones being

cases. The officers, he says. have
