Introducing a young woman, who
was adopted in Omaha 2l years ago.
She now wants to find her natural
mother, of whom she has no recol-
lection of having ever seen.
Reared to womanhood by foster
parents, and with the belief that her

some home in Omaha by woman
whose name was Hyde. Her hus-
band went by the name of DIR.

ENTHUSIASTIC
ON OPENING DAY
More Than 200 Delegates
Enroll for 18th Annual
Meeting of American
Life Convention.

The first day of the l4th annual
meeting of the American Life con-
vention was pronounced the most
enthusiastic ever held by that or
ganization. Delegates continued to
arrive during the day, and the total
was swelled to well over 200.
A talk on "Investments" by F. P.
Neal OF Kansas City and the general
discussion which followed was one
of the interesting features of the
afternoon program.
The consensus of opinion was that
farm mortgages were the best in
vestment that could be made by in
surance companies.
A resolution was passed directing
the executive committee to work tor
the recognition in every state OF the
preliminary term of valuation as dis
tinguished from the full or legal re-
serve" Western companies have
generally adopted this form Of first
year valuation.
Charge Bonds Depressed.
7. B. Hanten of Watertown,
Kan, expressed the belief that there
was super financial" organization
in this country which forced govern
ment bonds below par value.
'If there is such an organization
we should know it," said Mr. Han
ten, "and advise congress to take
steps to dissolve it. When govern
mcnt bonds go below par value the
government should do something to
remedy it."
S A. Foster of Des Moines, Ia,
insisted that insurance companies
should help develop new territory.
Many Women Attend.
Thirty-five women, wives of com.
pany officials, formed an interested
group of spectators.
The visitors we're entertained at
luncheon at the Chamber of Com
merce at noon. E. 6. Simmons, OF
New Orleans. president OF the
American Life convention, and
Charles T. Coffin of Indianapolis
made short speeches at the lunch
con T. w. Blackburn Of Omaha;
secretary, treasurer and general
counsel of the convention, and John
w. Gamble, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, spoke.
E. G.. Simmons delivered the an
nual presidential address at the Ho-
tel Fontenelle yesterday afternoon.
Period of Reconstruction.
Mr.. Simmons referred to the
present period as one of recon-
struction and readjustment.
"The institution of life insurance
has been tried with fire." he said,
but our companies have emerged
unscathed. and again the great pro-
tector Of the American home, life
insurance, demonstrates its right to
first place in the minds, and in the
hearts of the millions it serves.
"The day is coming, and coming
very soon, when every great Amer
ican college teaching various pro-
fessions, will have a complete course
in life insurance. That this plan is
not only contemplated, but being
put into actual effect, is demon
strated by the establishment of a
life insurance school in connection
with the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology in Pittsburgh, the first real
insurance school established in
America.
Mr.. Simmons referred to the ere
cent enormous influenza losses"
which, he said, took a toll of more
than $l50,000,000 from American
life insurance companies.

The family was found to be living
on the charity of the neighbors in
two small rooms, two of the chill
dren i'll and two more infected with
eczema. The children were clad
in rags and the sanitary conditions
deplorable. This is one case of
many.
Some ask, "Why don't such people
make some arrangements to have
something laid up for a rainy day."
"Why don't such fathers protect
their families by life insurance
"Why does not the law force a
man who has deserted his children
to support them?"
"Why do not the courts require
the divorced father to pay alimony
for the support of his children?"
These questions we shall not at
tempt to answer, but we do claim
that these unfortunate dependent
children should not be held to
answer for their parents misman-
agement, misdemeanors or miscon-
duct. True it is, that the juvenile
court and the county commissioners
do all that can be done under the
existing laws and with the available
funds for such purpose. But with
all this, we find that the conditions
are not covered. These conditions
not only exist in Stevens county but
other courts and commissioners are
confronted with similar problems.
The Red Cross has done noble
work in the county, helping when
ever and wherever cases of want are
found. These 100 destitute and de-
pendent children of Stevens county
are not Armenians who live thous-
ands of miles across the seas and on
the opposite side of the world, but
are Americans who live just across
the alley or on the opposite side Of

White flour for the patrons of Col
vile stores totaled 421, ,67S pounds.
The TopNoch mills furnished about
273,000 pounds of this amount and
state that they used approximately
$4,000 bushels of wheat during the
year. Most of this was local wheat.
The stores of Colville state that less
wheat flour is being shipped in
each year, because of the growing
popularity of the TopNoch product
That about fifty per cent more
cornmeal and other substitutes were
used in 1918 than in the previous
year, is the estimate made by local
dealers. The enforced use of other
flours and cereal products has given
the people an education in their
good qualities which will affect the
future good of the nation.

meal and corn flour headed the list
in popularity and it is almost un-

the number of pounds of this sub

people state that they can no longer
look corn bread in the face, while
others say that the quantities which
they slowed away only made them
like it better.
Invoice bills of the grocery de-

total amount of cornmeal and corn
flour shipped in during 1918, was
approximately 1892 pounds. Be-
sides this, $4,000 pounds of cornmeal
for the Colville stores came from
the TopNoch mills, making a total
of 1892 pounds. The mills
shipped in 100000 pounds of corn

According to estimates based on
school records, there are now about
5000 children in Stevens county of
school age and under. By very
conservative estimate, it may be said
that two per cent of this number
are absolute dependents.
That is to say, there are now
at least 100 children in Stevens
county that are dependent and des-
titute, who have not the bare neces-
sites of life, and are not properly
clothed or fed. Aside from a small
per cent, these children are Of fam
lilies with but one parent, by reason
of death, desertion or divorce.
About a year ago the probation
officer was appointed by the juvenile
