Citizenship Night
 Schools Endorsed
 By Judge Jennings

E. A. Lindman, secretary of the American organization of Wrangell, recently had occasion ta write to Judge Jennings, and in his letter mentioned the fact that Wrangell now has a citizen ship night school.
 Judge Jennings, in his reply, touched upon the subject of citi- zenship night schools in the fol- lowing words:
 Citizenship night schools are the best means that l know of by which persons who wish to become citizens of the United States can be instructed in the principles of our government and the history of our country. We have had a night school here and one at Douglas and 1 have noticed that those appli- cants who attend the citizen ship schools are the best quali- fled. I therefore hope that all persons in your vicinity who contemplate applying for citi- zenship will make it a point to attend the school and avail themselves of the splendid op- portunities which l know are afforded them.

Prices Still Upward.

When the armistice was signed, it
was generally expected that soon the
trend of prices would be downward.
The fighters would get to work, and
would be raising crops in Europe, war
bills would stop and there would be
general tendency back to normal condi-
tions.
But here it is eight months after the
end of hostilities, with prices no lower
and many further advances threatened.
Clothing and shoes will go up in the
fall. Food prices show no indication
of dropping. The cost Of building and
repairing houses is increasing.
J A man bought a pair of shoes in
big city store for $500. He was a
rather free spender, so he did not think
much of the price afterward. Then he
saw attached to the ticket the name of
a manufacturer with whom he had
some acquaintance personally. He
wrote to the maker and asked him to
send him pair Of just the same shoes
and bill him at whatever the price was.
He received the shoes. and the bill was
$3.50. It looked as if some one was
making money.
No doubt this case was exceptional.
The shoes were probably bought at
fancy price store, and the man may
have gotten the second pair at cost
through friendship. The great majorl'
ty of retail stores are making nothing
out Of these advances. But there are
chances for profteering in time when
prices change so fast.
Any producer is entitled to an ad'
vance on his product comparable to the
general advance in expenses and living
costs. But a great many advances are
going far beyond that point and should
stop. All elements should get together
in a nation wide movement to stoI
prices in every case at a reasonable
point If it can not be done by law, ii
could be accomplished by some form OF
community action and cooperation OF
all elements.

=, General Leonard Wood in a recent
address praised the soldiers Of foreign
birth Or descent in these words: I'VE
have had in our. armies representatives
Of all the fighting groups in Europe,
anl,swant to- say "a word of apprecia-
tionaof the loyalty of the citizens of
aHsn descent. Some Of them came
from the blood strains of our enemies.
Wshave only to. read the lists Of our
dead to realize that these Americans
Of German and other descents have
been loyal. They have written anew
their. oath of allegiance. This time it
hAss'been written in their own blood.
These new people are now part Of
us In every sense. So let us hear no
more of hyphenated Americans and
look upon all who have been loyal as
Americans"

AUTOS In BARNS
INVALIDATE INSURANCE.

(, Court decision holds that gasoline in

should not be kept in asbqnding cover
ed by insurance policy prohibiting the
storing of gasoline. ~ <%&y
A recent issue Of the Spectator con-
tains the following @5s<s:<.*
An important decision relative to the
general practice of farmers keeping
their motor cars, trucks and engines in
:atheir barns has just been announced by
+, the 3,tfh Kansas supreme court in the suit
zQf Charles L. Morgan against the Ger
1Mania Fire and the Northwestern Ma
!, ,sstipnal Insurance companies. The lower
1yGOurt was, reversed and the insurance
,IicQmpanies were given the judgment.
. Morgan carried two policies on his
!, barn on his farm. Both contained the
provision that no gasoline could be
,,il.ftored in the barn. He kept his motor
Il, ,s,car in the barn, and the tank of the car
8 nsnally contained from two to ten gal
Ions Of gasoline. The car was not in
lSSthe barn at the time of the fire which
,aestroyed it. Morgan maintained that
the gasoline in the car was not in stor-
age and that the prohibition Of the in
surance policies was not being violated
The insurance companies refused to pay
4 the: claim for the loss on the ground
that the prohibition in the policy
: against the keeping of gasoline in the
barn had been violated
{ The supreme court sustained the lat
ter view. The decision is of large i'm
:; portance to the insurance companies
and to farmers generally Compara-
lively few farmers have separate gar
ages for their cars and most of them
: :, Keep their cars, trucks, tractors, and
! even gasoline engines stored in the
Y barns.
The decision definitely settles the
point that gasoline in the tank in a
!, motor car is gasoline in storage when
Kept in building covered by policy
prohibiting the storing Of gasoline in
that building. It may be necessary for
the companies to prepare new rural
property policy form to make certain
that the farmers do not violate the re-
quirements of the policies and to call
their special attention to the fact that
they can not use barns for garages and
collect insurance in case Of q fire with
out paying the higher rates.
