War Risk Insurance, provide an al
lowanee during the remainder Of their
lives that will keep the wolf from the

Of protection against loss Of health
and accident or wounds in the service
that no soldier or sailor should fail to
obtain.
The cost is exceedingly small, the
average being about sixty-tive cents
per month per thousand of insurance,
A policy for $4,000 providing liberal
annuities in the event Of injuries sus-
tanned in line Of service, will cost about
$3.50 a month. Almost any soldier
can pay even for the maximum

and pay for the insurance their par
ents or guardian can do so. And i
appeal especially to the parents and
guardians of the men in the service
who have not or will not take out this
insurance themselves to act and act
now, before it is too late. Every per-
son should ascertain at once whether
his son has yet procured he insurance

Provision must be made for the fu-

in the most humane and scientific
manner ever known to look after and
take care Of its heroic defenders. Even
where soldiers and sailors have no de-

GESPASsAGE OF
DOG TAX LAW
Food Administrator Myer Asks COun-
ty Representatives to Write Con-
gressneR.

DIR. II. A. Morgan, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Tennessee, has address
sed letter TO the various county adj
ministrators acquainting them with
the sentiment expressed by food ad-
ministrators Of southern states in a
conference held at New Orleans re-
garding heavy taxation Of dogs as a
protection to the sheep raisers. DR..
Morgan asks the administration that,
in the event they, too, approve Of the
taxation, they write their senator's and
representatives in congress urging
that such a measure be adopted. DR..
Morgan's letter follows:
AT recent conference of the food
administrators of the southern states
held at New Orleans, it was the unan-
imous sentiment that as a war meas
ure, to conserve food and stimulate an
increased production of sheep in the
nation, a heavy war tax should be i'm
posed on all dogs by the national con-
gress.
IF you approve this suggestion and
believe that through the imposition Of
this tax by congress there will be an
inceased production of sheep, | sug-
gest that you write your senators and
representatives at Washington, urg-
ing their support Of such a measure,
likewise communicate with your mem
bers of congress. You might also bring
this matter to the attention Of your
newspapers with a view of enlisting
their support.
"This letter, you will understand, is
merely suggestion, and is prompted
solely by a conviction that every meas
ure possible should be taken that will
promise any increase in the essential
food products which we must have if
we are going to win this war"

COMPERS SUGGESTS
SEvEN-HOUR DAY
Believes 1t Will Prove Better Remedy
Than Suspension of Industries.

Indianapolis, Jan. ga universal
seven-hour day during the period of
the war, instead of the present spas
modic suspension Of industries by the
fuel administration to conserve coal
and relieve railroad congestion, was
suggested today by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, in speech to the conven-
ton Of the United Mine Workers here.
Mr.. Gompers' speech to the miners
here was regarded as labor's message
to the country on the action Of the fuel
administration. He prefaced his dec
laration for seven-hour day with a
defense Of those in high governmental
station who may have made mistakes.
They are promoted, he said, by the pat
riotic purpose to win the war, and to
think that the great transition from
peace to war could be made without
mistakes was asking the impossible.
Continuing, he said:
"The order issued a few days ago
/ regard as an adequate necessity. You
know there is now a discussion to re-
peal or to modify the Sherman anti
trust law. | am not going to offer to
discuss the railroads-they have been
lax so long, but the Sherman anti
trust law forbade them to do what now
the director-general of the railroads
has the right to do. The jam had oc-
CURED and was increasing and some
thing had to be done to relieve the sit
uation. If the icy king has interfered
there can be no help for that.
Il think there is one mistake in the
making, and trust it will be changed
or modified. / refer to the closing of
industrial and commercial plants Of
our country one additional day each
week. | think it is mistake to have
a whole day such as Monday idle, and
involving from Saturday afternoon un-
til Tuesday morning. / believe that if
the order were changed so that instead
of there being ten, nine or eight hours
as days work, the same power pro-
claim universal seven-hour day dur
ing the war, better results would fol-
low.
I've would have practically the
same results in the eonservationo of fuel
and all other needful commodities. It
would not do violence to the history,
the traditions, the work and the prac-
teal operation of industry and com
merce.
Il trust that the suggestion may
find Judgement somewhere and bring
about that change, but if It doesn't |
