Representative Oscar E. Keller, the
newly elected Republican from the
old Democratic fourth district of
Minnesota. has introduced a resolu-
tion, ITO conserve American prod
ucts for the American people, to pre-
vent profteering, and to reduce the
high cost of living" Under it's provi-
sions there is created a national board
of conservation, consisting Of the
cabinet, five senators and five con-
gressmen. The board is to investigate
the supplies of food, clothing and
other necessities, forbid their exporta-
ton when the supply is limited, and
fix prices and profits. Mr.. Keller ac-
companied the introduction of his
resolution with an address to the
house in which he gave forceful ex-
preston to his views on the cost of
living.

POLICIES PAID in NEVADA
SHOW BIG INCREASE IN 1918

The sum of $165. $50 was distributed
to persons in the city of Reno in 1918
by the various life insurance COM
panies of the country on account of
death claims and matured policies ac-
cording to statistics just compiled by
the Insurance Press covering the en-
tire country, says the Reno Gazette.
Winnemucca came second with
claims aggregating $40. 900, Goldield
next with $25,000 Goodsprings $22, 900.
Carson City $4,000. Tonopah 1925
Virginia City $12.75O Ely s11.5O0. The
two largest policies paid in the state
were at Reno. one amounting to $32,-
600 and the other to s21,714.
The rate of mortality the life insur-
ance companies had to meet in 1918
was about thirty-two per cent greater
than in 1917 and fourteen per cent
greater than the average death rate
for a score of years.

Immediately heard and granted if
the applicant is found eligible.
1T has proved a source of great
annoyance and embarrassment to this
Office, also. that the military authori-
ties appear to have given misleading
advice in regard to the naturalization
of soldiers. / have been unable to
determine whether such advice was
actually given, or whether the SOL
diers misunderstood the advice that
was given.
I'VE have made every effort to nat
uralize all soldiers who desired nat
uralization before rehabilitation, and
we have assisted in the naturalization
of some five thousand soldiers in the
service in this district. In some in
stances l have found that soldiers in
the service have declined naturaliza-
ton, presumably thinking they might
thereby avoid service abroad, and who
on discharge have been especially in
sistent on immediate naturalization.
OF course, this does not apply to all
soldiers who were discharged without
naturalization, because in many in
stances, the soldier, being on detached
duty or being absent from the camp,
or for one reason or another was I'M
able to secure naturalization in SER
vice.
THE law of July 10, 1919, extending
the time limit to one veal after all the
American troops are returned to the
United States, will probably enable all
honorably discharged soldiers to take
advantage Of the simple procedure in
securing naturalization outlined above.
OF course, a gFfat many will be an
noyed that their immediate naturaliza-
tion cannot be secured, but owing to
the limited appropriation for travelling
expenses and u limited force, it is
not found to be practicable to make
special trips to distant points for the
purpose of conducting the pr limin-
airy examination of h%onorably dis
charged soldiers who desire naturali-
cation when the United States naturali-
zation examiner visits the various
Nevada courts in September next"
