FIRE LOSSES

Fire losses take a heav toll from In
dustries every year.
IL is a mistaken idea TO think tina
insurance companies pay these losses.
The pople pay. The insurance COM
panies act merely as a distributor or
clearing house, collect premiums on
policies and disburse premiums for ire
losses and operating expenses, The
lower fire losses can be brought, the
lower premiums can be charged. The
insurance company prevents the loss
falling on an individual or industry ats
a crushing financial burden.
Take the timber industry alone.
igures presented at the Annual Meet
ing OF Western orestry and Conser-
walton Association at Portland, Ore,
show nearly two billion feet of stand
ing timebr killed In 1918, the worst
fire season since 1910, of which more
than nine hundred million feet is be-
yond salvage. This entailed a loss OF
IS, SOC, 600 to Pacific Coast states and
is only one item of fire waste.
Il. II. Allen, of the Association, In
the interest of fire protective work Is
urging increase in federal %appropria-
ton under the Weeks law from 800
600 to $500, 900 as the 800, 900 is nc
longer sufficient to cover the addition
al states which have qualified under
the act.
The dry season is coming on and ev'
cry person should make IL a point L
help cut down our terrible fire vast

reports that a group OF progressive
banks have employed a farm expert.
His service will be free TO the public.

Eastern wooden mills and the big
Spectators are keen to buy and thai
means fair prices for the 1918 clip.
At the second Portland government
warehouse auction $685. 600 pounds
were sold at prices 1 to 8 cents above
the minimum. Only a few lots OF low
est grade wool went at the government
minimum. This shows the value OF
grading up the iocks.
The success of these auctions proves
the value of growers consigning direct
TO these warehouses. The sorting and
grading is done without any selfish int
crest to get the better Of the produc-
ers. His clip is sold direct to the wool
EN- mills and he gets the real value OF
his product.

HUNS THREATEN POLES

By Associated Presf
 Paris, June Achievements of the Ger mans against the western Polish bound ary at three points are giving great un- in conference circles, and lg- mace Jan Paderewski, Polish premier, is making earnest efforts to obtain ann from the Allies before the Ger mans cut the principal railways, which it is thought they will attempt.
 Heavy artillery attacks upon Czensto- ckowa from the south and west threat en to cut the railway connecting Warsaw with Cracow and the Teschen coal fields Czenstochowa is a city of 7o,000 inhabitants and an important junction.
 The Germans are also advancing at Krotoechin, 54 miles south-southeast or Posen and directly west of Lodz, and there is fighting on the river Neize, west of Bromberg. Polish staff offlcers stationed in Paris regard the Czenato- chowa action as most critical as the Germans are within twenty miles of the city at some points.
 The decision of the council of four to permit the Polish army to establish order in Galicia, east of Lemberg, car ried with it temporary recognition or the river Brucz as the eastern boundary of Poland, pending the decision of the league of nations. This decision was es- pecially gratifying to M. Paderewski ana his associates, as the inter-allied com missions which visited the region sup ported Polish reports that the district was being terrorized by bandits connected with no recognized army or organized government.

north to take southern negroes from the farms, forests and manufacturing con cerns, in an effort to embarrass busi- ness interests, is the belief of J. k. Rhodes, manager of the Southern Pine association of New Orleans. A letter, written to c. E. Mccall of the Autauga oil and Fertilizer company at Prattville, and containing the charges, was sent or Friday to the department of agriculture. Suggestion that the state take hand in the matter, which has led to a serious labor shortage in addition to the harm cone the south from moral standpoint.
 Charges that the campaign to tale away the negroes is thoroughly organiz- ed follows a report compiled in the office of the Southern Pine association, Mir. Rhodes said. He has found that in Chi cago there are 10000 southern negroes, all unemployed and stranded In the south there is a shortage of labor. Seven- ty-three per cent of the unemployed in Chicago, the letter asserts, are non-resi- dents and desire to move back south.
 Labor agents in the north are spread ing propaganda that is doing the south harm, it is asserted and suggestion that Alabama fight the propaganda with propa ganda is made. The labor agents invade the south and persuade the ne- groes to sign up for work. Tn the north the negro is not treated as well as in the south, and the result is that in short time the imported" negroes are dis charged.
 J. has been charged often that the north and east are causing a great deal of the race trouble in the south, and it is likely that the legislature of Alabama will be called to take a hand in the mat ter.

 REFUSES REQUEST
 MADE BY STRIKERS
Decision in Atlanta Does Not Apply Elsewhere, Says President of
 Company
By Associated Press

Atlanta, June 27.-After a series of con ferences the Southern Bell Telephone ana Telegraph company late today notified committee of it's striking employees that requests they made looking to adjust ment of differences could not be granted
 The employees principal requests were for recognition of a union acceptable to the American Federation of Labor, re- lnstatement of employees alleged to have been discharged for union utilization, re- instatement of all strikers in body and discussion of wages and working condi- tions.
 J. Epps Brown, president of the com pany, said the decision here did not apply elsewhere, but that separate cases would be considered as they came up. He said no employees were discharged for union- ism but for inefficiency.
 About 260 telephone employees are out here, the strike having been called four weeks ago. It was followed by syme pathetic strike of local telegraph opera tors of the Western Union. The latter became involved later in the strike of telegraphers, called throughout the coun- try, which still is in effect.
 The telephone company claims service Is practically normal here.
