OF the largest agencies in Richmond
last night. There will bc some changes,
though. in the next forty-ciGht hours.
I believe the companies are waiting for
4 formal declaration of war by Con-
gress before putting in "A war clause
in their policies. They will be very
strict after the declaration is made"
Other companies restrict the holders
of their policies TO military service
within the borders Of the United States
for the first year, and demand Il high
cr premium rate for violation of the
clause. The provision was made at the
time Of the threat of war with Mexico
last summer. When war is actually
declared with Germany, the premium
demanded OF soldiers will be increased
greatly. ii is predicted. and the pen
altics for leaving the territory of the
country Will be made more severe.
The Mexican service clause in most
OF the policies written last summer
provided for the payment Of 3 per cent
extra on the premium IL the person
insured should cross over the border
Ia military duty during the first year.
In case the extra premium should not
be paid, it was provided that the per-
son should forfeit the right to three
f0urths of the face value of the policy.

times OF peace sit at ease and nurse

Are You Getting Your Share?

Poultry products in the United States are said to be equal in value to one half the entire corn crop. while most farmers of Ohio make more from their poultry and eggs every year than all the wealth produced by the gold and silver mines of Colorado. There is money in poultry. That is why Ark ansas should give more attention to their chickens, ducks. turkeys and geese. We have an ideal climate and wherever necessary feed can be easily produced in abundance This is a good time of the year to get ready to n- crease the farm flock The first step is to build good but inexpensive shell ter since all poultry should have pro- tection thru the winter and hens lay best when they have cozy quarters.

SAYS RUSSIA WILL WIN
New Ambassador to America Salts

Roffar

New Ambassador to America Salts
fled That Conditions Are Growing
Better.
Tokyo, May 31.-'I am immensely
satisfied with conditions in Russia"
said Professor Boris Bakhmetief, the
new Russian Ambassador to the Unit
ed States. on arriving here yesterday.
81 think the new regime is carrying
en- the work of organization success
fully and will soon be able to launch
an offensive against the enemy
Professor Bakhmetieff is at the head
of special commission of 40 on its
way to the United States. He repu-
dated the idea that his country would
make a separate peace. The reorgan-
lied provisional government of Russia
which had wisely incorporated labor
elements in its membership. was de-
voting it's efforts to organizing the ma
tiona life. he said and especially to
strengthening the army. Difficulties
have occurred, but they had been en-
aggerated, and it was unreasonable to
assume that the ancient autocracy
could be overthrown without encount-
ering resultant obstacles.
During the trip from Petrograd,
Professor Bakhmetieff said, he was I'M
pressed by the desire Of the people to
cooperate with the Government and
continue the war to the victory which
was essential to the salvation OF Rus
sia. He found local committees at
work everywhere. At 1rkutsk and
Vladivostok Governors have been cleo
ted and they are controlling the situa-
tion ably.
"Russia's war aims are similar to
Americas" he continued. AS sister
democracies they are fighting hand in
hand. am going to America to take
nm questions of munitions, suppiles
and finance. need scarcely en-
phasize our profound appreciation OF
Americas help at the hour OF the up
building of our democracy"
