Over 900 900 Have Taken Advantage OF
Government Insurance.

At the close of Wednesday, Febru-
srv l3. over 100000 soldiers and
sailors and army and navy nurses had
applied for government insurance under
the soldier and sailor insurance law.
The amount Of insurance applied for IS
more than SS.OO00 100000. The maximum
permitted to any person Is $4,000, and
the average applied for Is SS,212. There
are many applications mailed from dis
,ant points which have not yet reached
the Treasury Department. The above
figures are only OF applications that have
been actually received and granted.
The amount of government insurance
m force is more than three times as much
ss the total ordinary life insurance IN force
with any life insurance company IN the
world
The splendid result which gives to
more than q million OF the soldiers and
sailors of our country the benefits OF this
insurance. which Secretary McAdoO has
Justly described as the most just and
humane provision ever made by any
government for ITS fighting men, Is due to
the Qtnck appreciation by the benehclarles

valuable aid patroucally gwen TO the
War-Risk Insurance Bureau OF the Trea-

officers Of the army and navy, and many
OF the individual soldiers and sailors,
20 which must be added the earnest
and eeicient work OF officers and agents
OF the insurance companies, fraternal
beneficiary associations, and many pa
triotlc organizations.
The campaign, which has for It's pur-
pose the insurance OF each and every
person entitled TO insurance under the
law. will be continued The time within
which insurance may be applied for has
been extended by a general resolution
Of Congress, approved by the President,
until April u, 1918.
The automatic insurance, however
which automatically gave insurance L
ali entitled TO receive it until Februa y
II, although no application was made
has expired. Hereafter only those who
have applied for and received policies

vigorous and rapid growth. When
matured the males weigh eight to ten
pounds, the females six to seven pounds,
having white skin and flesh and pinkish
white legs and toes.
The Ruff Orpington is handsome
fowl. Their rich, golden buff surface
color, great size and handsome curves
compel admiration. Among those who
breed several varieties of Orpingtons
there seems to be the impression that
the BufTs are the best la ers. They
are extremely docile and have given
general satisfaction.

They receive practically the same care

There is rapidly growing sentiment
in America in favor of the propagation
of game. Belgian hares were never IN
greater demand Private fish ponds are
scattered all over the country. Docu-
ment S26 Of the Federal Bureau of Fish
cries is n good guide to fish farming.
Nat,lralists and game breeders state
that the demand for good brecdlng
stock and eggs is greater than the sup
ply. There is no more interesting occu-
patton for the nature lover, and, as his
experience grows, he can turn part OF

COAL RUMOR DENIED.
Food Administrator Mitchell Makes
Statement Concerning His Supply.

Runors have been in circulation for
some days to the effect that q number Of
prominent citizens have been boarding
coal at a time when many persons could
not get any coal. One Of III ese reports was
70 tie effect that State Food Administra-
tor Edmund Mitchell had stored q car
load OF coal in the cellar Of his home, at
1909 Delaware avenue
When Major Mitchell was asked about
the matter hc said the story was untrue.
He explained that last April he placed
an order for a car load Of coal, his house
being large, great deal was required to
heat il IN winter; but none Of the order
was delivered until few days before
Thanksgiving, when he got about half the
quantity ordered As about a day and
q half were required to deliver the coal and
place II in the cellar, and the house being
in a public place, the impression prevailed
that a whole car load was being delivered.
MIR. Mitchell says he has received no coal
slnce that time and now has barely enough
in the cellar TO see him through. In fact
II will not be enough, he says, if the severe
weather continues into the spring.
