The house has passed a senate reso-
luton extending from February II to
April L. the time in which soldiers
may apply for war risk insurance. In
..he -mfa. .ntime- each -soldier-4s- Issued
Sc. 900, payable to himself or desig-
mated relative, ut the rate OF s25 for
24O months. Originally every soldier
was deemed to have been insured for
l2U days following his entry into the
service up to February II. That time
has now been extended to April IL,
and hereafter each new drafted man
will be insured for 120 days, unless
he takes out insurance in the mean
time. IL he fails to take out insur
ance within 120 days Of his enlist
ment. or before April IL, he will for
felt his right to insure at all. The
maximum amount of insurance that
can be taken out by any one soldier
is $4,000. and we want TO make this
request of every parent Of a soldier
under whose eyes this will fall. See
If your son has taken out $4,000
worth of insurance. If he has, all
right. If he has not. insist that he
does so at once. II is to the interest
of the boy to do it. and it is to the
interest of the parent for him to do
it. The premiums may be taken from
the wages of the insured or the par
cnt if he or she sees proper. may
help to pay. The premium rate on
a $4,000 policy is very small, ranging
from s72 year for q years of age
to sS4 a year for 81 years Of age.
Every soldier should be insured.

- Rev. Alexander Martin filled Rev.
f. E. Gillespie's pulpit In the First
Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning and in the evening preached
the sermon to large congregation at
union services in the A. r. P.
church. The theme OF his discourse
was the practice and profession Of
Christianity, and his argument was
that IL the Christian church falls
down In one particular more than In
another, 1t Is in its failure to live up
to the teachings Of Jesus Christ. its
King. The only way Of salvation, he
said. was through the atoning sacri-
flee Of the Savior; but the man who
claims to have accepted that atone
ment and who declines to follow the
teachings Of Christ is deceiving him.

Along with all this agitation for
food conservation and the like, there
Is another matter that should receive
attention, and that is
Pay.
People who buy and sell food and
other things have to pay, pay. pay

upon them pay, they cannot pay
The groceryman who sells food
accommodates the folks to whom he
sells us much as the people who buy
accommodate the groceryman who
sells.
II the customer pays the grocery
man who sells, then honors are even
and things can 60; but II the custo-
mer who buys fails to pay the gro
ceryman who sells. then the grocery
man who sells gets where he can no
longer buy and the whole thing comes
to II stop. The way to guard against
an outcome like this Is to
Pay.
-, Credit Is nice thing, and a use
full thing: but, 1t is not very good
thing unless II is also regarded as a
sacred thing. Very few grocerymen
have hard feelings against people who
buy and fail 10 pay 80 long as they
are unable to pay: but all grocerymen
have right to have bad feelings
against the people who buy groceries
and then use the means with which
they should pay for those groceries to
buy other things.
1t Is all right to conserve food, II
is all right to economize in every
way: but Just as no man can lift
himself up by his bootstraps. no
groceryman can continue to do busi-
ness unless his customers pay. and
II customers do not pay, they will
find in the end that they have not
only hurt the groceryman-ruined him

selves.
AS matters stand now 1t Is the man
who does not pay who Is rocking the

Americans began to occupy the first
line trenches. German snipers were
very busy and they were also very
ANNOYING. From distant trees, bush :
es and shell holes they sent well
aimed bullets into the American
trenches and many of those bullets
gave very great annoyance, some
coming uncomfortably close and
some wounding or killing. But the
Americans took up the game from
the beginning and they have made
distant trees. bushes and shell holes
so unhealthy for snipers that snipcrs
are not nearly SO busy as they were.

IN THE FIGHTING ZONES.
Summary Of Conditions as Thsy es.

The military activity In the major
theaters Of the war daily continues to
increase. From the North Sea all
along the line In Belgium and France
and on the northern Italian front from
the region Of Lake Garda eastward
toward the Piavc river. there have
been clashes between opposing infan-

Again American troops holding the
line in the region Of st. Mihiel have
come into contact with the Germans
and suffered u few casualties. These
men, operating between the lines, were
ambuscaded by a superior force OF the
enemy. but fought valiantly against
great odds until they were either
killed or made prisoner.
Immediately the patrol was at

the trenches laid down barragc
against the Germans.
The German artillery again has he

British positions In the neighborhood
of the HOutholst forest, north OF
Ypres, and southwest Of Camgrai, while
violent duels are In progress between
the Germans and the French around
Nieuport, in the Champagne, on the
verdun sector and in the Vosges. The
German official communication says
there has been Increased activity
against the Germans on both sides OF
the Moselle.
Except for several attempted raids
by the Germans and Austrians on the
northern Italian front, the big guns
on both sides are doing all Of the
work.
Much pleasure is being evinced in
both Austria and Germany over thu
success OF the central powers In ef-
fecting separate peace with the
Ukraine rada.
Peace with the Ukrainians having
been settled, the central powers now

Americans need have no fear that
any other nation will ever rob them
OF the fruits of victory after those
fruits have been won. America seeks
only the triumph OF right. OF truth
and justice. She warts them for 9TH
ers as well as herself. That America
should seek to cnslave the world or
any part OF it is as unthinkablc as
that America should allow the world
or any part of it to cnslave her. When
this war is over the world will be
ruled by right rather than might. be-
cause America with her might will
continue TO stand for right.

While It is quite possible that the
Germans may he able to sink an
American transport occasionally, If
they think that by so doing they are
gong To intimidate anybody. they
have another guess coming. The
Americans are hardly the kind to be
intimidatcd. They did not want to
go into this war. it is true; but they
know what they are in for. and now
since they are in through no fault OF
theirs. they would rather be in than
not. The reason the Americans are
in is not difficult to define. 1t is suf-
iicient to say that they are in 10 es-
ablish their independence: but a
shorter and more comprehensive ex-
PLANTATION than that is that they are
in 10 win.
