JOBS, WAGES AND THE
 COST OF LIVING

"When a soldier or sailor comes back after two years service over seas, don't expect to take him back at the old standard of wages" says Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the sec retary of war. The standard of living has risen enormously in the last two years.
 Patriotic employers are taking their service men back at the prevailing rate of wages, many are giving their men credit for time spent in the ser vice, with regard to seniority in the business and company insurance bene- fits.

ENORMOUS APPLE AND
 PEACH CROP OF KANSAS


 Little Rock, Aug. 11.-One of the biggest news stories in the United States today-that is, constructive news stories-is that of the apple and peach crop of Arkansas this season. It is the largest and most valuable in the history of the state.
 It is so large that the estimates of it's value vary by millions of dollars. The Arkansas peaches command top prices in the Northern markets, and have taken precedence over Delaware and other states long noted for their superior fruit.
 And the apple crop There is no way of arriving at an estimate that can be considered accurate. It is 100 per cent perfect, where the orchards have been cared for properly, and the demand for the fruit was never greater.
 Stories that come out of Benton and Washington counties, "the worlds greatest apple orchard" often chal- lenge the credulity of the public.
 It is readily in keeping with the stories of tremendous fortunes over night in oil wells and leases.
 One man sold the apples on the trees for $SO,OOO, another for $40. .OOO The buyer does the picking and the shipping. One man who offered his farm for sale last year at $7,5OO, has just sold the apples in his orchard for $8,000. There are many instances where the apples are worth more than the land would have sold for before the big crop.
 Mortgages are being lifted, auto mobiles are displacing the horse for farm transportation, as trucks and tractors are taking the place of other means of farming. Better homes are being built in the country. More mod ern machinery is being purchased. Highways are being constructed, and everywhere there are evidences of a genuine prosperity.
 And in Benton and Washington counties it is largely the result of the bumper apple yield. Apples do not make big crop every season. but they never fail altogether, and this big crop compensates for several short ones.
 Then there was the strawberry cron Which brought flood of gold into a number of favored counties.
 It is a demonstration of the trntb that has long been advertised that Arkansas must not any longer be con. sidered bound hand and foot to the chariot of King Cotton, but that if ;s state of numerous and varied re- sources.

"The decrease Of the purchasing

that the purchasing power of a salary

who made 1850 on the former date,

Mr. Property Owner. have you in

II you have not you stand to lose

completely destroyed.
A warning 70 this effect is sounded
by manager Of an Insurance company
here.
According 10 this authority, less than
80 per cent OF property owners
throughout the country have kept up
their fire insurance In proportion with
the increased property values and
building materials.

OF $4,000. AZ The time this house was
built the owner insured u for 80 per
cent OF rs value. or 5000
All fire insurance companies carry a
clause known as the coinsursnce clause,
which means, In brief:
n at the time Of fire the insurance
carried is less than 50 per cent of the
value. the insured VIII bo paid such
proportion OF his loss as the amount
Of the insurance bears 90 so per cent.

tor example, a house formerly val
ued al $1,000 is insured for 80 per

has doubled In value and Is now worth
$4,000 u Is damaged by fire, but not
wholly destroyed Tho insured Is paid
such proportion OF his loss, az the
amount OF Tho insurance $1,000 bears
90 81 per cent. OF the $4,000, which
Is sl6OoO The insurance paid would
thus be onc-half Of 5000. or $1,000.
Therefore he Is made oolnsurer with
the insurance company and stands TO
lose one-half OF the amount caused by
tho Ore damage. II the house, now
worth s20.000 il destroyed The insured
receives the full amount OF his policy,
