ADDITIONAL RULINGS
ON REINSTATEMENT

A series of decisions issued by the
director of the bureau of war risk in
surance with the approval of the sec
rotary of the treasury provides more
liberal conditions for reinstatement
of lapsed or cancelled insurance.
The provisions of the treasury de-
cision No. AZ, allowing Is months
from the date of discharge for rein
statement upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to be reinstated, are re-
tanned. That decision is liberalized
however, by a new provision that
men out of the service are permitted
to reinstate by merely paying the
two months premiums without max
ing a statement as to health at any
time within three calendar months
following the month of discharge.
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
a statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration of the graee period, which
ever is the later date, will be requir-
ed together with a written applica-
ton for reinstatement and the ten
der of two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to
reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been cancelled, a fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service Is
months or more, and who are there
fore barred from reinstatement I'M
der the former ruling, special
blanket ruling is made which allows
all ex-service mento reinstate their
insurance before December 81, 1919,
provided that each applicant is in as
good health as at date of discharge
or at expiration of the grace period,
whichever is the later date, and so
states in his application. OF course
it is necessary that he tender the two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance he wishes to reinstate.
Service men who reinstated their
insurance by payment of all back
premiums prior to July 25, 1919,
when the decision requiring payment
of only two months premiums went
into effect, upon written application
to the bureau may have any prem
iums paid in excess OF two applied
toward the payment of future prem
iums. For example, IL after pol
icy had lapsed for six months, man
reinstated and paid six months
premiums instead of two. he may Sc
cure credit for four months prem
iums.
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect a man until he ac-
tually reinstates. III he waits he
may not be in as good health as he
was at the time of discharge and con-
sequently may not be able to secure
reinstatement.
Don't put off reinstatement. Do it
now.

FUEL SITUATION
Is SERIOUS
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT AND THE
CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS
WILL PROBABLY CLOSE

Audubon is facing a serious fuel
famine regardless of the unauthor-
lied statement that Audubon could
get along without more fuel. A
careful study of the situation reveals
the fact that there are several fam
lilies here in the city who have no
fuel whatever. or course the mild
weather of the past week has helped
them materially, but in case of a
cold snap it would be difficult to
provide them with coal.
The local fuel administrator, G..
c. Carter is doing everything in his
power to see that there is no suffer
ing. He has been able to secure a
few loads of coal from individuals
who had plenty, in order to relieve a
family in distress. But there are very
few people who have coal enough to
last them more than a week or ten
days.
Several places of business on
Broadway have but little fuel, and a
weeks cold weather would clean
them out entirely. The two cars OF
coal received last week helped won
derfully and relieved the situation
for week or ten days, but no coal
udS UeeH TbCelNeu SluCe lueH anu
there is none in sight.
The Johnson Coal Co. has in tran
sit two cars of coal The state fuel
administrator has approved their or
der and is trying to locate the car.
Another car is in transit but Mr..
Johnson does not know the routing
nor the number of the car, so a trac-
er will do no good.
The committee appointed by the
Commercial Club to purchase wood
has been able to secure one car load
and another effort is being made to
secure more. A man who operates
the city was able to secure couple
loads of wood from a farmer who
said he could spare load or two in
order to tide him over.
Unless Audubon receives coal
within the next ten days there is go
ing to be suffering. There is no
need of trying to make ourselves be-
live the situation is not serious.
We may know that the situation is
serious from the communication Mr..
Carter had from the state authorities
this morning. He states that the
old war measures will in all prob
ability be put into operation to con-
serve as much OF the coal as posi-
BILE. 1t is quite likely that the
public schools and churches will be
closed and that very soon. Mr. Car
ter is considering calling a special
meeting of the citizens so that united
action can be taken.

BIG FEATURE COMES
TO CRESCENT THEATRE

1.-The Right to Happiness" is pic
ture worthy the epoch in which we
live. l hail it the epitomized lesson
to all humanity of the aftermath of
this war says Herman Devries, dra
matte critic of the Chicago American.
1t is as the word of the Christ in
terpreted through the travail and
problems Of our present social and
economic existence.
1t offers the simplest readjustment
of economic unrest-that simple way
out, which alas, the race never
seems to see.
"The Right to Happiness" begins
with the thrill of universal human
feeling and ends with a throb of pas
sionate sacrifice in the interest of
this same human brotherhood of
man that makes the leit-motif of the
scenario.
Do not let me brighten you into
thinking that the picture is only a
dry, didactic appeal urged by some
fanatic of socialism. On the con-
trary-it is a cinema of life and
life is never dull. The underlying
theme-the ever-recurrent sugges-
tion that humanity can survive only
by love, tolerance, by an effort
toward sympathetic comprehension
and cooperation, is illustrated by a
variety of fascinating incidents.
You will understand when l tell
you that the story opens with a raid
in the Jewish quarter of Russian
city during which wealthy Ameri-
cans home is destroyed and his twin
| child daughters separated in the de-
bacle. The one is found by her
| father-and the other grows up in
| the hot-bed of Bolshevism and be-
comes a leader, sent to America to
scatter the propaganda of discomfort
among the workers.
Dorothy Phillips handles this dou-
BILE role with the sensibility, the in
| telligence, the emotional intensity of
| the real "grande tragedienne. Very
| cleverly done is her sharply contrast
| ed drawing of the two characters
| Dorothea, the passionate mouth
| piece of the rights of man." and
Vivian. the butterfiy-product of her
Nmilieu, whose eyes are gradually
opened to world truths and problems
by the earnest young factory fore
man. would like to christen Miss
| Phillips the American Nazimova OF
/ the screen.
II l do not mention each actor al
length 1t is because of lack of space
but each deserves his word of indi-
vidual praise. However. one does
not attempt to criticise details OF
histronism or mounting where all Is
superb.
In fact the whole story itself)is
so absorbing that one loses all sense
of stage realities as II unfolds.
1t Is the lesson of lessons for al
the world. 1t is the handwriting
on the wall, pointing to the day
when capital and labor must at Least
meet for a final understanding
and 1t points the way to bloodless
solution. IL we will only give ear.
This great picture will be shown al
the Crescent Theatre. Thursday
Friday and Saturday nights Of thii
week.

BIG DRIVE COMES
ALL NEXT WEEK
STRENUOUS EFFORT is BEING
MADE TO SECURE LARGE
MEMBERSHIP IN COUNTY

Mr.. Posey who is out working in
this part of the state for the Farm
Bureau Federation, was in the city
Tuesday and held meeting at the
court house in the afternoon laying
out and perfecting plans for the big
membership drive that is to take
place in Audubon county next week
He and the county agent have gone
over the field pretty thoroughly and
work will begin in earnest next
Monday morning.
The purpose of this drive is to
secure new members for the Audu-
bon County Farm Bureau. There
are at this time about 800 members
in the county and with good weather
il is hoped that by the close of the
week there will be no less than 1900
members.
The membership fee is $500 a
year and that covers the entire cost
of the individual member to the
county and state organizations.
However this contract is for a life
membership and carries with 1t the
yearly fee but in case of removal
from the state the contract is can
celed, or on written application the
membership may be withdrawn
The Farm Bureau is now an es-
tablished institution. The people
of Audubon county know its val
ue. Many farmers in the county
know that they have more than
saved the membership fee several
times over in the little deals they
have made right in their own vicin-
ity. Now that the field is enlarged
the chances for greater profit has
also been increased.
The farmers all over the country
are waking up to the fact that they
must organize in order to protect
themselves, for they have a right to
the cost of their production. Sta
tistics show that only twice in the
past forty years has the price of
farm products brought the cost of
production. This is not right. The
manufacturer always adds a margin
of profit to his finished product and
the farmer is as much entitled to
profit as the manufacturer.
Farming is the greatest industry
in the world and it should be recog-
nized as such. We would like to
see the farmer have an organization
so strong that they could compel the
coal miners, the steel workers, the
railroad men and other organized
laborers to peek at their work in or
der to be able to get the products of
the farms. In other words, unless
they produce the necessities for the
farmer the farmer will not produce
these necessities for them. BY such
an arrangement we do not think
there would be such a thing as a
strike.
1t is to be hoped that the drive
next week will result in securing
large membership in the county. We
would like to see Audubon county
maintain her reputation for doing
things.

TO HAVE PERMANENT OFFICE

Miss May Mclaughlin, who has
been in charge of the Home Service
department of the Audubon County
Chapter Of. the American Red Cross
will have permanent office room in
the Red Cross headquarters in the
Harper building as soon as office
furniture can be secured. She will
be there every day in the week to
attend to the matters coming under
her department. The Office is CEN
trally located and 1t will be a great
convenience TO those who have occa-
sion to call on Miss Mclaughlin.
The same rooms will also be used
by the nurse who will be sent here
at the earliest possible moment. The
committee having this in charge find
that nurses suitable for this special
work are hard to get and II may be
spring before Audubon county will
have the opportunity of securing the
services of the public health nurse
whose expense will be met by the To-
cal Red Cross Chapter.

MUST ORGANIZE
FOR OWN PROTECTION

10 the Farmers OF AUDUBON
County:
The board of directors of the local
Farm Bureau have selected the week
beginning Monday, November oath
for increasing the membership of the
Audubon County Farm Bureau and
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.
During that week committee of
your neighbors will call on you and
invite you to join this farmers or
ganiZation.
The membership fee is small
only SIS a year. This is about one
fifth = of the fee paid by the lowest
charged group of organized labor. In
addition you will be asked to con-
tribute to the special free will offer
ing being made to the state fedora
tion fund, which will be used in pro-
tecting your interests and organizing
the farmers of the state and nation
in this great movement.
We must get in position to look af-
ter our own business interests, and
,paration. The packers are spend
ing millions for advertising alone.
They are protecting their interests.
Organized labor has a great fund
already raised to push through rail-
road and other legislation which the
brotherhoods desire. They are
loking after their welfare.
Farmers alone of all the great
groups of society stand helpless be-
cause they do not stand together.
They must take what is handed to
them because they are unorganized.
The repeal of the so-called day
light law shows what may be accom-
plished by farming interests acting
together.
During the war we farmers have
helped finance every cause except our
own. Let us get ready to look af-
ter our own business interests.
A safe and sane organization OF
farmers is needed as a stabilizins
influence in this time of stress. We
urge every farmer to stand with us
in this great work.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) E. B. THOMAS,
Pres. Audubon Co. Farm Bureau.

The front has been treated to coat

STRIKE IN PIANO
FACTORIES CAUSES
NO WORRY IN CITY

The saying 'fts an i'll wind that
blows no good seems to apply strong
ly in the present piano situation.
Nealy all the piano factories have
been on strike since October 1, and
the dealers have been worrying over
the problem to supply their nearby
holiday trade. Some dealers have re-
sources Of a large rental stock to draw
to, while others have been obliged to
resort to other lines of instruments
other than their own in order to fill
their ware rooms
The Redewill Music Co., with a keen
sense Of foresight to the situation, has
just completed refinishing plant for
complete renovation and revarnish-
ing Of pianos and other musical in
struments. Heretofore it was not
possible to do a factory job of refinish-
ing on a piano, and the wide variety
Of polishes had to answer the purpose
The Redewill firm, who have a repu-
tation Of not doing things by halves
have brought two experienced factory
| finishers to Phoenix and will devote
their sole attention to refinishing Of
| pianos. This will answer a long fell
want, and those who have been tempted
to exchange their old instrument for q
new one may now gain satisfaction in
the new shop now ready.

SLIPPED MARAHUANA
IN pocket, SAYS HE

Joe Rosas had some sort of an an
swer ready for every question County
Attorney Laney asked him yesterday
afternoon in the first division of the
superior court, but the jury found him
guilty of burglary in the first degree
and Judge Stanford will sentence him
tomorrow morning at $3.50 O'Clock. The
charge against the wife of Rosas was
dismissed.
On the stand the defendant attempted
to explain why a large amount of
pennies were kept in the bean jar at
his home. The pennies he had, along
with some baby bonds, a lease to city
property, and a purse were alleged to
have been taken from the store of a
Chinaman on Grand Avenue on Sep
TENDER 1.
Rosas admitted being found near the
scene of the burglary some time after
ward with a. loaded gun and sou&
marihuana in his possession, but said
he had taken the gun with him to
collect some debts, and that somebody
had slipped the marihuana in his
pocket at dance without his knowl-
edge.
Rosas also admitted having had
possession of the pocketbook, baby
bonds, and lease to the property where
the robbery was committed, but said
he found it and made a reasonable
effort to restore it.
