-GERMANIA FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANY CHANGES NAME

On March 1, the, Germania Fire In
surance Company, one of the oldest
Insurance Companies in America,
found in 1859, changed its name to
the National Liberty Insurance Com
pany of America. The change in the
name, which is the only change affect
ing the company, which has branches
in every state of the union, was
necessitated by the public misinter-
probation of the former name, which
many persons believed to indicate the
Affections. AS a matter of fact the
company was founded entirely by
Americans and some of the noted
men who have served upon its Board
of Directors at various times, include
the late Joseph H. Choate, C. Godfrey
Gunther, once mayor of New York
City, Richard M. Hoe, Marcus l..
Ward, former Governor of New Jer-
sey, Ernest Hall, former Judge of the
Supreme Court, and many more of
equal prominence. The officers and
directors are native Americans, and
the funds of the company are invest
ed entirely in American securities.
1t is interesting in connection with
the announcement to note that Com
pay took its original name, Ger
mania," as a result of the large i'm
migration to America. from 1848 I'M
til the out break of the Civil War, of
Germans, who took part in the revol-
ution against autocratic rule in their
own country, and came to the United
States to secure political freedom,
among them being such men as Carl
Schurz.
1t is announced by the officials of
the company, that all policies issued
prior to the change of name, will con-
tinue in force until their expiration.
The company's last financial state
ment gives its capital as 100000,
with a reserve for liabilities of
$4,222, 485.60, net surplus to policy
holders of $3,381, 1OO27, and total
assets of $9,6O3, 5S5.87
Since the outbreak of the war, the
company has been active in securing
recruits for the United States Navy
and Marine Corps, through the med
ium of posters distributed through its
agencies, and it recently contributed
$4,000 to the American Red Cross.

Kansans who live on the Fifty-t 1fty
war basis, that is, use in their homes
an equal quantity of wheat suhstit-
utes with all wheat flour.
We must cooperate to win this war.
Every Kansas town and city should
have its war club to take care of
war problems. Get together in your
town-explain to th,He who have a
surplus of flour, the emergency need.
Many lives may be saved by little
sacrifice. Send this Office full list
of the patriotic citizens in your COM
munity who re-distribute their sur
plus -four to help win the war. Give
name addresses and amount of flour
returned. This Office will keep an
honor roll of Kansans who make this
sacrifice The honor roll will be sent
through Mr. Hoover to President VIII
son to show what Kansas is doing TO
help win the war.
In Cowley county five farmers vol
unfairly redistributed -four and re-
ported to the county Food Admins
traitor. One of them German farm
er, said: Zone sack is enough for my
family for thirty days and / under
stand that more than a thirty day
supply is boarding. Hoarding con-
gests freight, hampers the mills and
interiors with Hoover's plan of dis
tribution. Although 1 am a subject
of the Kaiser I want to see America
win because 1 know the curse of the
German system. 1 will do my part
to help win the war with food"
There is a penalty for boarding
flour, of several thousand dollars fine,
or number of years in prison or
both. This would indicate the emer-
gency need when such law is passed
in free America. AS a true patriot
we want to show the country that no
such law is needed in Kansas. "Out
where the west begins"
