The soldier has everything to gain
and nothing to lose BY continuing
his insurance. A man who has ex-
pressed his determination to secure
for himself and his family the per-
manent protection OF the United
States Government by keeping up
his insurance policy. has proven
himself citizen aware of his duties
to himself, to his family and to his
community. He now has the op-
portunity to lay the proper founda-
tion for his financial future. Life
insurance furnishes the one sure
means of providing against any fu-
ture financial emergency.
Life insurance on the new plan
is more than protection for the
mans family; IL is a guarantee to
him of an old age pension, and it is
the only old age pension which he
will get. The former pension sys-
tenn has been done away with in
favor of the compensation feature
of the War Risk Act. The insur-
ance is in addition to this compen-
sation. This plan of Insurance, with
its cash and loan value features and
disability benefits, not only offers the
soldier an opportunity to provide
continuous protection for his family
anu hue
of saving and thrift.
Soldiers should not jump at con-
clusions from inaccurate informa-
ton. They should go to some one
competent to advise them fully and
accurately on the subject before
dropping their term insurance. Full
information can be secured from
any OF the recruiting offices in this
district.
Complaints will naturally arise
from failure to secure prompt re-
sponse TO inquiries. etc, to the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance, but
when it is considered that this bu-
reau was suddenly called upon to
administer an insurance proposition
greater in volume than that handled
by all insurance companies in Amer
lea put together-about thirty-e eight
billion dollars-it will be under
stood how completely overwhelmed
II was with work. Over fourteen
thousand employees are continuously
on duty in Washington engaged in
handling the vast detail of the work.

Maytown, Pa.
To the Editor Of the Telegraph:
In one column you praise the
President for vetoing the daylight
saving bill, while in another you de-
mand the reason for high prices.
agricultural prices in particular.
You favor the bill in order to have
time for more pleasure going. Every
excursion and all pleasure meetings
being one hour earlier. If farm
people wish to go they must abide
by time set by city people. One
hour counts Lot some days on the
farm. Vegetables, fruits and grains
must be gathered when just right or
there is sure to be waste and added
expense.
Rest and work are more impor-
tant than pleasure. Most farmers
arise about 4 o'clock in order to
get the needful work through by
sundown. How can he work an
hour earlier and retire one hour
before dark with our boys and girls
in towns and cities seeking the So
called ''needful pleasures" A
farmer cannot get men to work on
the farm after the shop whistles
blow. And can he expect his own
boys Gf he is fortunate enough to
them) to work on when they see
the hired man quit? They are only
human and get restless. And with
so much time before dark they are
spending more evenings in towns
and cities; get home late; are not
rested for the next days labor. Con-
sequently work lags and farmers are
worried to the point of leaving the
farm altogether. This might seem
little thing to city people whose
work is so different. But farming
is business as much as printing a
paper or any other city business
And if the workers put no life or
interest in their work it cannot sue
ceed. Farmers must depend on
young men for help and when they
all are bent on pleasure seeking it
is impossible for him to produce at a
low cost, and be able to meet eX-
doubled since 1914. I hear people
say: oh! the farmers are getting
rich buying autos, etc. Lots of
| those autos are not paid cash, and
are finally paid at the sacrifice of
many other necessities. Why do
city people take delight in buying
high priced clothing and expect to
get food (the most needfuD at or
below cost of production? Then
when labor, clothing, repairs. news
papers and everything farmer buys
has advanced, how can he continue
business if he does not have an ad-
vance also? 1t seems unreasonable
for city people to abuse the farm
er whom they must depend on for
their very living. 1t is biting the
hand that feeds one. The main rea-
son for daylight saving seems to be
for pleasure. If the morality of
Washington is endangered by pub

a hundred times more destructive
than the mobS that wrecked ven-
geance in various European cities.
Then there is the man who pre-
sumes to know the situation, ac-
cusing the other fellow with fragrant
profiteering to help some canning in
dustry or some combination of
wholesale houses. all of which is
confusing to the lay mind. We also
are told that in the various cold
storage plants throughout the coun-
try there are hundreds of millions
of pounds of food being held, pre-
sumably for speculative purposes,
certainly not for the benefit of the
consumer.
We would suggest that If the diff
ferent cities of the country erect
and manage cold storage houses it
would be a big step in the solution
of this vital question. Corporations
build big cold storage plants and pay
handsome dividends on the invest
ment, and IL they can do that there
is not a municipality in the land that
could not do equally as well. 1t
would give the trucker, fruit grower
and poultry man a chance to dispose
of his stock without it yielding an
enormous profit to the middleman.
Laws could be framed to require
weekly or semi-monthly reports of
amount in storage and the length
of time 1t would be allowed to re-
main there. thus insuring the con-
sumer fresh, wholesome food at all
times and at nominal cost. We
do not think we are mistaken when
we say that the trend of the times
points very strongly to this very idea
as the only solution for the protec-
tion of the health and care of our
ever increasing population. Start
the ball rolling. Let HARRISBURG
blaze the way.

CORN ESTIMATE TO LARGE

Ioplar Bluh, Mo-, July 23.-Crop
estimates of the Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture are said
to be considerably wrong for this
section of the State, according to
reports of prominent millers. Esti-
mates in this section have been too
large for this year. Almost a con-
slant downpour of rain for a month
cut the acreage of corn planted one
fourth, according to c. F. McMullin
The prospect of a crop on that
diminished acreage is only so per
cent. This applied to all the corn
crops in this section will bring an
average of only about 36 1-2 Der
cent this year, according to his
estimate. Wheat crops have also
been overestimated 1t is said that
in Southeast Missouri the crop this
year will not possibly average more
than 70 per cent. and possibly just
so per cent.

Puts 1t Up to Women.
To the Editor Of the Telegraph:
No doubt the prevailing high
prices of living are unnecessarily
high and the effective remedy to
prevent it is problem for us to-day.
The farmer no longer loads up his
marketing on his wagon or truck
and goes to the market of his choice
and sells his produce for whatever
he can get as in former days That
does not appear to be the method
of that line of business to-day, for
there is some one who tells him
Niidl lie iluSI dSh IOT his pTOuuCe,
and the farmer is not allowed to
deviate from that price. Rather than
do so he must take a chance of los
ing his products especially if they be
of a perishable kind. 1t is unfair
to the seller and buyer to have
middle men come in and dictate
what the produce must sell for. To
prevent this unfair method of SELL
ing let the buyers agree among
themselves that they will not pay
above certain price for articles
they do not have to buy. If some
of our housekeepers, ladies of power
and influence in the community,
were to head a movement in that
direction there would be no trouble
in getting a following that would
be respected and bring about the de-
sired results. The various organi-
cations of which most of our ladies
| belong and who are the principal
buyers for the table at our market
would do wisely by taking a ster
in that direction. Our authorities
! should take steps to break up this
unfair dealing in our markets. Res.
urrect the old ordinance and if thai

the conditions of the times.

Paris, Feb. president Wilson pre-.
sided over the commission of the soci-
ETY. of nations, which had before it the
completed project for constituting the
league, discussing it article by article.
While there is no authoritative infor
nation concerning the details of the
project, the distribution of printed
drafts among the members has dis
closed the main features, and these
can be summarized as follows: Two
main plans have been presented,
which the members of the commission
regard as embodying the American
views, though both plans are compos-
lite, containing the best features from
various sources-American, British,
French and Italian.
Both plans are being considered to-
gether. In its original form the first
plan is generally regarded as more
democratic and therefore more accept
able to the small powers, whereas the
revised plan is not so acceptable to
this group, as it eliminates small ma
tions from the executive branch of the
proposed organization, and is a long
step toward the creation of an interna
tional supreme council, with funda-
mental basis of codified international,
law. The first plan had three main
features:
First-A legislative branch, on which
the great and small nations were
equally represented, each as a unit
Second-An executive branch, con-
sisting of two members from each of
the great powers, United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan, and
nine members chosen from the small
powers. This gave the executive body
total membership of nineteen, OF
whom ten represented the great pow
ers and nine the small powers.
Third-Arbitration was provided for
the determination of international is
sues. In case of dispute between
two nations each nation named arbi-
traitors and these two selected third
arbitrator. Three arbitrators thus
chosen constituted tribunal for de-
termining the issue.
