NEW YEAR RECEIVES
 NOISY WELCOME HERE

With footing of whistles, the banging of light artillery, and rousing cheers, the New Year was welcomed in by a wide awake Williams, precisely at one second after twelve. the night of the 31st. For ten or twenty minutes slumbers were rendered impossible for those slack in their duty of welcom- ing the promising infant.
 1919, the greatest of New Years is here, and it bears a wonderful store of happiness and prosperity for all those who have faith and industry.

Why the Difference

We note in an exchange, a criticism of Secretary McAdoo because he has resigned a po- sition drawing $12,OOO a year, giving as his reason the asser- tion that this income is not suf-' ficient. We do not note any criticism of MT. Ford's son for accepting the position of man. ager of the Ford Motor Car Company at a salary of $15O,- GOO. Secretary McAdoo's abil- ity certainly cannot be rated be- low that of young Ford's. The people, after all, are putting up the money to pay both salaries. If MT. McAdoo should turn in his ability for $12,OOO a year, dontaing the remainder of what he is really worth to the govern ment, should not MT. Ford do likewise? If men are worth big salaries in private business, are not our big men in public positions worth more, also? Must we not pay if we are to have efficiency in the manage ment of publicly operated util- tiles?
 MT. oMcAdoo was also criti- cised for saying that the Amer jean people would go in rags but they would carry the Fifth Liberty Loan. It was contemp-

DATE Is FIXED FOR TRANSFER OF
POLICIES.

Washington, D. C-The War Risk
Insurance Bureau has tentatively fixed
June / as the date for the issuance Of
the new life insurance policies for
which the soldiers, sailors and marines
may exchange the policies issued to
them under the War Risk Act. Appli-
cations for conversion are now be-
ing received.
While no intensive campaign to in
duce holders of the War Risk Act
policies to transfer to the new form
of insurance has been launched as
yet, applications are invited now in
order to obviate rush when the time
arrives for transfers to be made and
also to encourage holders Of the poll
cies to make the exchange when 1t
is most convenient for them to do
so.
The Bureau has also made it known
that it will not consider policies as
having lapsed even though, after dis
charge, man may have ceased pay
ment or has notified the Bureau that
he wishes to cancel his policy. until
ample time has been granted for re-
instatement The Bureaus policy will
be to allow soldier, sailor or ma
rine to put his policy back in force
by payment of back installments with
in a period of six months.
Up to the middle Of April, the Bur-
eau had paid 10000 claims for in
surance awards for death. Only 1,60i
claims have been disallowed, and in
a good many of the cases the action is
not final.
