Edward f. Trefz, who has been in

TO his home in Los Angeles, California.
This was Mr.. Trefz's first appearance
in the Green Mountain State and we
only wish that his lines could have
been laid so as to have been here dur
ing the summer season instead Of the
bleak fall and winter. Mr. Trefz has
been a very busy man ever since
arriving here but he has responded to
the many calls upon his services by
our townspeople and his inspiring
addresses have been features of the
recent strenuous days we have been
through. It is rot often granted US
to listen to 50 finished and soul inspir-

person who has not fallen under the
spell of his oratory has missed much.

IAN OVERSHADOWING
 CRIME"

The New York special grand jury which has been Investigating everything from milk to murder, is about to take action on what it terms mysteriously as "an over shadowing crime" Having takel into account the radicals, the ac- tivities of the bolsheviks. booS- logging, gambling and corruption in office, one naturally wonders what the overshadowing crime may be. If there is anything that overshadows the offenses that arc committed daily in New York and elsewhere, the reasonably curious would like to know what it is. l. seems that since the war practical ly all of the crimes on the calen- dar have been committed-many of them in the open and without the necessity for a shadow" The most of us have run out of gues- ses; it's hard to tell what has been done against humanity against decency or against the state that is overshadowing il these days.

No Decrease in
 Insurance Rates e Soon, Says Bullion

Little Rock, Dec. 15.-There will be no decrease in fire insurance rates ordered in the immediate fu- ture, said Bruce T Bullion, state insurance commissioner, after a conference with Attorney General John D. Arbuckle, relative to fig ures showing profits and losses ot the insurance companies in Arkan- sas for the five year period from 1914 to 1918. These figures show that during the period the com. panies have made a net profit ot 6.34 per cent.
 While this is 1.34 per cent in ex- cess of the profits allowed by sec tion 8 of Act 163 of 1919, limiting profits over five-year period to 5 per cent, MT. Bullion said no re- duction would be ordered because the 10 per cent surcharge put on in April, 1918, and taken off Sep tember, 1919, was not included in the figures. MT. Bullion said that as the 10 per cent surcharge re- tmoval was in effect 10 per cent reduction, the commissioner would not be justified in making an ad- ditional 1.34 per cent reduction.
 The figures for the five years show total net premiums as S18,- 6O2,454; net losses at $11 ,O69,172 and net expenses at S6,355, 1924. On the incurred basis in which the companies allow for unearned premiums on all policies and show reported losses as actually pald losses, the following figures ars given: Premiums, $15,949, ,747 losses $11,210,524, and expenses $6,542,752.

ernnent contended, that the Non Partisan league desired to have an understanding with the agricul- ture workers branch of the l. w. w. for hiring farm labor. This meant, a letter read to the jury said, that only those who had "union cards up to date," could work in the grain belts.
