ALIEN ENEMIES MUST REGISTER.
Week Of Feb. 4 Set as Time For Their
Action.

Washington, Dec. 81. The week OF
Feb. was set aside by the department
OF Justice Sunday for registration of
the half million unregistered Germans
in the continental United States by
police and postmasters in pursuance OF
President Wilson's alien enemy proc
lamation.
Registration will involve the gather
ing Of detailed information concerning

lations will be punishable by intern
ment for the war.
The orders do not apply to German
women, nor to any persons under IA
years Of age. Subjects of Austria
Hungary are not required to register.
In announcing the regulations today.
the department of justice took care to
avoid creating the impression that the
government looks on each German with
suspicion.
"Rgistra,es are not to be treated as
persons of evil disposition" instructions
TO registrars said, land the registration
officers are urged to deal with them in
a courteous and friendly manner"
In cities of 5000 or more population
recorded by the 1916 census. d list CT
which is issued by the department OF
Justice, the chief of police and his as
sistants will administer the registra-
ton. In smaller communities and rural
districts registration will be conducted
bv the postmasters. In most cities the
work will be done by precincts.
Every German is required to go to
the registrar and make out triplicate
affidavit information blanks and to FUR
nish four photographs of himself-one
for each affidavit and one for his reg
istration card. The photograph must
bear his signature written across the
front and must not be larger than three
inches square. 1t must be on thin pa
per and have light background.
The affidavit provides for recording
name. address. age, place of birth, oc-
cupations, and residence since Jan. I,
1914, date of arrival In the United
States, whether married, names and
ages Of children. whether the regis
trant has or has had any male rela-
tives in arms against the United States.

tary training, naturalization conditions,
and similar information. Full descrip
ton of the man and the prints of each
finger must be taken by the registrar.
Germans not at their place Of resi-
dence during the week of FEB. may
be registered in the district in which
they happen to be.

GOOD INSURANCE YEAR.
War Conditions Greatly Stimulated the
Demand For Such Protection.

Demand for SuCh FrSsSSeS"
Chicago, Jan. Life insurance MADE
a notably good record during 1917. The
volume of premiums was large, war
conditions serving to impress the value
of life insurance protection upon the
minds of the people. The mortality
was normal and the only unfavoraole
feature in the situation was the sharp
shrinkage in the valuation OF the
companies securities, due to war con-
ditions. This will result in reduc-
ton in the net surplus OF the COM
panies, but is regarded as merely tenn
porary, as life insurance companies
carry securities for their earning
power. and this has not been materially
affected.
The interesting development Of the
year. so far as life insurance was
concerned, was the decision OF the
federal government to furnish insur-
ance for its soldiers and sailors at
price far below cost, considering the
war hazard, making good the deficiency
by taxation. This Is intended to take
the place Of the discredited pension
system, and in addition to life insur-
ance furnishes the men with compen-
sation and rehabilitation insurance.
The life insurance men co-operated
with the government in formulating the
plan. 1t is regarded as a valuable in
dorsement of the principle Of insur-
ance. and the amount Of protection is
sued under it already reaches several
billion dollars. -
When the war broke out the COM
panies were forced to impose war
charge upon those engaging in mill
tary or naval service. Various rates
were imposed by different companies.
but the average charge was $50 per
81 1000 usually with an agreement that
the war premiums will be kept separ-
ate and any surplus would be returned
to the contributors after the war.

Three Pound BroiIsrs Best

~
Housewives who Wish to help relieve
the meat situation will buy three
pound broilers and flyers and refuse
to use SQUAD chickens" weighing a
pound, one-half or less, say dressed
poultry specialists.
The serving Of undeyeloped or squad
chickens in hotels, restaurants and
homes, they regard as unpatriotic be-
cause chickens, IL kept for four weeks
longer, including two weeks Of crate
fleshing. will weigh about three pounds.
Moreover. under proper feeding. the
chicken makes the extra flesh largely
from such by-products not ordinarily
used for human food. as buttermilk,
sour milk, skim milk, and low grade
grains.
A three pound broiler or fryer Of one
Of the utility breeds. the specialists
say. reaches this weight with a rela-
lively less consumption OF feed than
the chicken which has been kept until
1t weighs four or Ave pounds UP to
three pounds, moreover. chickens Of
utility breeds make their flesh most
effectively from feed. Above three
pounds, every pound Of gain requires
for its production about twice as much
feed. This makes plain why the three
pound size always has been the favored
bird in Europe where both grain and
meat have been less plentiful than In
the United States. In the past, the
demand In Europe has led to a heavy
expectation OF three-pound chickens.
Such exports having ceased, these
three-pound chickens are now avail
able for home consumption. matter
on which the public is to be congratu-
lated

Seed Corn shertas. in Black Haw,

SSSo SVUU OUVsSU8O W ovaSN 6J0WWs
Much Black Hawk county corn land
in common with that In nearly every
other Iowa county may have to be
planted to some substitute crop, such
as barley, on account Of the seed corn
shortage. according to County Agricul-
tltrist A. A. Burger.
Burger expressed his opinion after
compiling the percentage Of the seed
corn lacking In this county. This
county has about nfty-two per cent OF
enough seed corn to plant It's usual
corn acreage. These figures are based
on returns from 800 farms in q recent
county wide survey Of conditions and
probably is nearly correct.
Many other Iowa counties have a
smaller seed corn supply. some run
ming as low as ten per cent, 1t is said.
The same condition holds good thru
out the entire corn belt OF the midwes-
tern states, according to the best OBJ
tainable Information.
Farmers who have any Of 1875 corn
crop on hand are being advised to test
every ear out for seed In an effort to
increase the seed corn supply.

ARSON EXPERT HERE

Capt. Hurley of State Police Dept,
Makes Investigation of Corbin Box
Shop Fire.
In the opinion Of Captain Robert T..
Hurley of the state police department,
there was no incendiarism in the H. H.
Corbn & Son box shop fire and the
conclusion of Detective Sergeant A. J.
Richardson of the local police depart
ment formed after his investigation Of
the fire after it's occurrence is sus-
tanned. Chief Dame of the fire de-
partm emit and Willis P Corbin, one of
the owners, expressed the opinion
after the fire that there were most
suspicious circums stances.
Captain Hurley was in the city yes
terday afternoon and went over the
ruins and listened to the circumsta noes
as reported to him. His investiga ton
was a result Of the report of the chief
of the fire department that the fire
was suspicious and should be investi-
gated Reports of such fires are made
to the state police department as the
chief of the state police is also state
fire marshal
The reasons for regarding the fire as
suspicious are that rear window was
found open a few hours earlier than
the fire, which was discovered about
4 O'Clock Monday morning, May 20.
No one had been in the factory since
the Sunday afternoon pervious. Just
before the flames burst out a loud
explosion was heard and flames then
spread quickly ughout the build
ing.
In the opinion of some, the fire may
have smouldered in the elevator shaft,
the probable source of origin, and the
noise of the explosion was probably
due to the accumulation of gas.
Capt. Hurley is the arson expert of
the state police department.
