Fire Insurance Companies To

The stock fire insurance companies

surcharge of 10 per cent cannot be
put into effect in this staten Some
time ago Carey J. Wilson, insurance
commissioner. turned down the appli-

surcharge into effect. He held that
the proposition at that time was to
shift the burden of some war taxes
from the stockholders to the policy
holders of the companies and this he
did not intend to permit as the gov
eminent intended that stockholders in
companies should be taxed as we'll as
other folks when the war tax bill was
passed.
Since that time there have been ma

When permission to withdraw the
former application was granted it was
with the understanding that it would
not act as bar to further proceed
ings. The companies have served no.
tice that the application would be re-
newed along an entirely different line
at the meeting tomorrow. The new
proposition is that owing to the in
creased costs of doing business, sal
aries, railroad fare, office expenses
and materials for repairs and replace
ments that the present rates for fire
insurance in Kansas are insufficient to
allow a margin of profit on the bust

ARE YOU ON THE JOB FOR
UNCLE SAM?

More than a million and a half
American citizens, taken from the
ranks of our young men. either
through the volunteer method or the
selective draft, are now enrolled as
members of the nations fighting
forces. Upon them will fall the brunt
Of the hardships, sacrifice and SUI.
fering which war must bring. 1t is
shot and shell, bayonets and poison
ed gas for them as they fight for us.
Millions of patriotic men and wo-
men boys and girls all over the
land, are enlisted in the Red Cross
and doing many other kinds of work
that have been made necessary by
war. Millions of our citizens are not
only giving their money for the
cause OF freedom but are also donat-
ing their time and energies to it.
Thousands of the nations most sue
cessful men and women have dropped
their own business and are giving
their time to the government be-
cause they want to do their duty.
In every community many of these
patriotic Americans are found They
are the men and women who have
made the Red Cross, the Liberty
bond and Y. M. G, "A. campaigns a
success. They are working as mem
bers of councils of defense. fuel and
food administrators, members of ex-
emption boards and dozens of other
ways 1t is not because these men
and women have more time than
others that they are doing this work.
the fact is that they are usually the
busiest people to be found in the
community, but it is because they
hear the call of duty and are willing
to respond to their country's call for
service.
AS the war wears on, the calls for
sacrlfIce and service are going to-
become more frequent and more
pressing. We shall be asked not
only to give more money but also
more of our time to helping our
country in the huge undertaking that
it has on hand. When these calls
come, are we going to be found at
our posts of duty, prepared to ac-
cept our responsibilities and dis
charge our duties, or are we going
to be among the slackers and excuse
makers? Uncle Sam has a right to
expect every one of us to be on the
Job every day and every hour until
the war is won The young men
whom we send to the battlefields

have right to expect us to stand
back ofthem with all our energies
and resources; we cannot be true
American citizens and do less. 1t is
not for us to consult our comfort or
convenience when these calls for
service come to us, any more than
allow the young men to consult their
own convenience when we ask them
to enter our armies, but, if we are
to play our part as real Americans
we shall respond promptly and placid
ly regardless of the inconvenience or
sacrifice of personal interests it may
entail. You may be asked to serve
on any one of dozen different com
mittees, you may be asked to talk
for the Red Cross or in behalf Of
Liberty loans or Thrift stamps, if
you happen to understand the art of
public speaking--there is something
for every man, woman and child in
America to do in this hour of the
nations. need when the fate of free
government the world over is hang
ing in the balance and the safety
and welfare of our own firesides are
in the grayest peril Are you on the

were OIL the bank of the river, the
business men of the town woke up.
Here was something new! Farmers
were building a good road right into
town, and putting in steel bridge!
SO the business men took hold, paid
for the labor of building the bridge,
and also hired an engine land grader
to grade the remainder of the road
to town Along with the engine and
grader Smith kept one man and four
horses working His teams did all
the team work in building four miles
Of road In all he put in rs days
with four horses.
Now the road is one of the best
stretches that can be found either in
eastern Oklahoma or western Arkan-
sas. 1t so happens that road follows
up a hollow, with a gradual slope.
Instead of being built close by or in
the small stream, as most hill roads
are when following a stream bed,
this road is cut in the side of the
hill. The hillsides are made up of
a fine gravel, much like rock that
had been broken up by heat This
gravel, when put on the road bed,
makes a hard surface that never
gets muddy.
Autos now make the trip quickly
and easily. Smith not long ago
bought ton of mill feed. The deal
er readily offered to deliver it free
to Smiths farm, five miles away

WORDS OF WISE MEN

The surest test of civilization is its
treatment of women.
Do not withhold encouragement.
When a thing is good say so; it helps.
Moss grows on mans hopes if he
waits for something to turn up.
The most stupid fault anyone can
have is to believe that he is never
stupid.
The most successful life does not
think about its success or failure, but
of is task.
The greatest friend of truth is time;
her greatest enemy is prejudice; her
constant companion Is humility.
NO one is more impatient for new
experiences than he who does not
knew what to do with his old ones.
And the kingdom of heaven is of
the childlike, of those who are easy to
please, who love and who give pleas
ufe.
There are few difficulties that hold
out against real attacks; they fly, like
tae visible horizon, before those who
advance.
Any social condition in which the
development of wealth involves the
misery, the physical weakness and the
degradation of the worker is infallibly
doomed to collapse.
Somewhere in the great world the
sun is always shining, and just so sure
as you live it will sometimes shine on
you. There is so much sun and so
much storm, and we must have our
share of both. Be always smiling
bravely.
