WAR RISK BUREAU RECORDS
HUMOR AND TRAGEDY OF WAR

Much Of the humor and some of the
tragedy Of the war are poured daily
into the bureau of war risk insurance,
which has the enormous task of ad-
ministering the insurance and allot-
ment accounts of all men in the mill
tary service.
At the first of the month the letters
arrive at the rate of 100000 a day
later falling to 10000 or $4,000. Be
tween IS. 600 and 100, 900 pieces of mail
are sent out daily. Remittances for
insurance premiums numbered 1908.
1872 between July IA and october z
having a value of $9,7S4.1S6.
Accuracy an Essential.
Handling such a tremendous guam
tity of mail, dealing with men whose
names in scores of instances are
identical, necessitates the most pune
tilious accuracy to assure that the
proper account is credited. One
mother who write to ask about an al
lotment made by her son Jim was
asked to be more specific in identifJ
ing the soldier. She wrote back
somewhat indignant in her motherly
pride:
you must have noticed Jim, be-
cause he's six feet tall"
The bureau is constantly reminding
persons with whom it has dealings to
send notification of any change in ad-
dress. One person took this injunc-
ton very literally.
Dear Government" she wrote
This is to let you know am staying
a while with my folks at Simpkins

DISPUTE OVER
DIP HOLDS UP
TICK CLEANUP

Announcement that the Atlas dip, a
solution agreed upon for the use Of
disinfecting cattle In Escambia. un-
der the new county law, was being
investigated by Washington authort-
ties, caused a stir among stock raisers
yesterday.
w. d. Lamotte. Of Jacksonville, is
responsible for an advisory wire sent
to County Clerk James MacGibbon.
stating that official recognition Of the
Atlas dip might be cancelled and that,
If the solution were ordered, advised
an Immediate interview with proper
authorities in reference to the ship
ment. which, he said, was being delay
ed until final decision with govern
ment officials could be reached.
C. w. Brown. veterinary inspector
in charge OF the compulsory tick Grad
ication work in this county, came back
at Mr.. Lamotte with the statement, in
a communication to the board of coun-
ty commissioners, that this telegram
should not be taken too seriously at
this time, since we know hat Lamotte
is state agent for Cooper's dip, and it
is possible that he might be prejudice
ed in his estimation of the value of
other dips" He has advised federal
authorities of Mr.. Lamotte's wire and
quick action is expected to be taken.
According to DR.. Brown official
recognition was given the Atlas dip
in a letter received February 1st., af-
ter a verbal agreement had been
reached in which it was agreed that
the Pensacola Feed Company should
furnish this solution. He stated that
he had never been advised to the con-
trary. A circular, showing the official
recognition by the government, with
the signature of DR.. Nighbert, Of the
bureau of animal industry, was sub
mitted to the board as evidence. DR..
Brown has assured the commissioners
that an earnest attempt would be
made to protect the county along such
lines.
