GOVERNMENT INSURANCE.

A despatch from Washington states that
nearly three million of our men in service have
failed to keep up their government insurance
This is pity, for in many instances there Is IN
government insurance, properly managed, a
for the future better than any ilkeiy
to be offered The despatch also states that
failure to get in touch with the men is the PROB
able cause 1t is possible cause and the fault
is with the government.
During the training period at camps many
long talks were made to the men on the value OF
government insurance; these had their fruit IN
the very wide acceptance of this insuranc by the
men. At that time it was announced that
printed instructions would be given the men at
the time of their discharge telling them what
to do to continue insurance. Many OF the men
who went out from Lee county have not recelv-
ed such instructions. One man wrote to WASH
ington and waited more than two months for
reply. Moreover, majority OF these men have
had difficulty with allotments and this has
made them suspicious.
Government insurance is an excellent thing II
properly managed. But because it has been so
i'll managed it is not enlisting interest where 1t
ought.

A NEW AUTHOR.

Donnellson Review: 1t has been
frequently stated that Henry Ford's
million dollar libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune was not for the
purpose of getting damages, but an
advertising scheme on hts part, and
she fact that he has been sending out
free plate matter to any paper that
would use it, confirms this belief.
However, Henry has been getting
some advertising he didn't figure on.
For some time Henry has posed as
an educator of the people, he was
even credited with having written
book, and is at present supposed 10
be editing newspaper. On the
witness stand last week an alto. nev
for the defense brought out tie Facts
that he hired a man to write the
book, the same as he is hiring some
enc to conduct his newspape".
When asked If he had ever hta'd

OWN "A LITTLE LAND.

Minneapolis Journal: Land Is the
chief source of physical nfe one
crop failure simultaneously suffered
over all the world would probably
cause the death of half the human
race within a year-so close do we
live to the soil.
This immediate and vital depen-
dence on the soil has created kind
of human instinct that one should hold
title to land-at least enough to fur
nish a years food ration for one faml-
". Men who think carefully or care
lessIy concerning self support agree
that a little land is a good thing for
any man to own, as kind Of old age
insurance.
The idea of safety in land is based
on two beliefs, first that living on a
| farm is the nearest approach to sim
| plicity in living; and second, that the
man on the land is the last to die of
| hunger. The history of the human
race has proven these two points TO
! be well taken. The case of block
AIDED Germany is now prominent testi,
mony. The best nourished people In
central Europe today are the com.
paratively ultra rich of the cities and
the owners of land. Even the pantry
searching police were unable to pre-
vent the German owners of land from
! feeding themselves comparatively
well,
The mere ownership of land is not
necessarily life Insurance. A 4ittle
land may be big load to a little
owner. 1t would be unwise to carry
an unproductive farm for a lifetime
only to use it little while as an ole
age retreat If land is to carry mar
in old age it should be made at least
to carry itself during his working
years. In making this land invest

SHOES AND CLOTHES.

darlington Hawk-Eye: There was
a conference between cattlemen and
packers recently, at which 1t was
suggested that the raising OF cattie
be limited in order that prices might
be kept up. There had been really
more cattle slaughtered than was
deemed necessary. Aside from the
meat proposition-if there had been
such heavy slaughtering of cattle,
then what was done with the hides?
Why should people pay not merely
two, but three and four prices for
shoes?
Along the same lines, the people
are informed that clothing, both for
men and women, is going still higher,
The talk is OF ready-made wear-a
rather cheap suit for $50 There are
no reasons given. Just the announce
ment that the price is still going up
And so it is with food, with build
ing material; ice is soaring, and the
public is informed that there is nc
use of waiting for lower coal prices
And that, moreover, coal Is going VI
soon.
Is it any wonder that there is un
rest and that there are strikes ano
that people are discouraged? Or is
it not rather the thing that must bt
expected under the circumstances
Are not American people, as whole
bearing up splendidly under thi:
heavy burden which is placed upoI
them?
