LIFE INSURANCE

Life insurance increases the stabil-
ity of the business world, raises its
moral tone and puts a premium upon
those habits of thrift and saving which
are so essential in the welfare OF the
people as a body.-TheOdore Roose-
Welt.
Get policy and then hold onto it.
1t means self-respect: it means that

1T is not work that kills men; it is
worry. Work is healthy; you can
hardly put more upon man than he
can bear. Worry is rust upon the

to ascertain the need of a national uni
form apple-grade law. Apple dealers,
county agricultural agents, and state
college hOrticulturiSts were also con-
suited on the question. Ninety per
cent of the growers and dealers who
were visited were in favor of apple
grading laws, and county agents and
college h0rticulturists were unanimous
in their favor.
Benefits of Standardization.
Without established grades, the spe-
cialists say, there is no recognized ba-
sis for buying and selling; there is no
common language by which the grower,
shipper, transportation company, deal
er and consumer may clearly under
stand each other; and there is no
standard quality by which values and
prices may be fixed. Such q basis can
not be established through individual
producers and associations represent
ing hundreds of thousands Of farms ir
widely separated districts, shipping
their products to the same markets
Confidence is the foundation of trade
and without grade Standardization con
fdence in the fruit and produce mar
ket cannot be established and main.
tanned, For the want of confidence
fruits and vegetables are largely SOLD
subject to inspection, or consigned to
commission houses to be sold on their
merits as revealed when the packages
are opened. A misunderstanding or {,
difference Of opinion as to what the
grade or quality should be results il
many reflections, which necessitates re-
sales and consequent delays and high
err prices in placing the product in the
hands Of the consumer.
Standardized grades furnish a basis
for market quotations and tend to sta
bilize the price Of the commodity. Elk
cept as based on recognized standard
grades, market quotations cannot be
comprehensive and reliable, and the
national market news service cannot
be developed to it's highest efficiency.
The value of such market reports de-
ponds to a large extent upon the &C.
curacy with which the product may be
described through the use of fixed
grade terms.
There is an educational value in en-
forcing standardized grades. BY being
forced to comply with definite stand
ards the producer will improve his
methods in both growing and handling
his crop, and he will be compensated
for his efforts by increased returns,
due to the reduction in waste and mar
keting expenses.

ment Of Agricultural
f? There is a growing sentiment, both
among apple growers and dealers, in
favor of standard apple-grading laws,
say specialists Of the bureau of mar
kets, United States department of agri-
culture. The objects, they say, to be
attained by such laws are: Elimina-
ton of fraud and deception, proven
ton of waste, establishing a basis for
trading, creation and maintenance Of
confidence, sterilization of the market,
and encoura cement Of better methods
Of production and handling.
The first definite attempt toward Sc
curing the passage Of national apple
grade law was initiated in 1907 by q
number of prominent growers, ship
pers, and dealers, who were inStru-
mental after working on the problem
for several years, in getting the Sulzer
bill enacted in congress. This bill be-
came a law in August, 1912, when it
was signed by the president, to take
effect July /, 1918. Although this law
was not mandatory, it served valua-
BILE purpose in awakening and crystal
Iizing public sentiment throughout the
country favOring the enactment OF leg
islatiOn which would serve to stabilize
the barrel-apple industry by eliminat-
ing fraudulent and deceptive packing
and by establishing a uniform basis for
buying and selling.
BarreIed AppTe-Grade Laws.
THE first state mandatory apple
grade law was passed in Maine in 1913.
The following year New York passed a
similar law covering barreled apples,
which is still in effect in an amended
form. This was followed by similar
LEGISLATION in Massachusetts, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Della
ware. Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
PENNSYLVANIA, West Virginia and Wis
consin-a total of 10 states.
The state laws have not been wholly
successful in obtaining the desired re-
suits, because the requirements in some
cases have not been practical and be-
cause the extent to which they nave
been enforced in some states has varied
so greatly that in many instances the
grade terms have come to have little
value. However, they have done much
good. In spite of the objections men
toned, a state law that is practical IN
it's specifications and intelligently en-
forced will carry with it many advan-
tages.
Specialists in the bureau Of markets
have conducted Investigations in all
producing sections and at packing
houses handling the products OF ap-

NEW TOBACCO RESISTS
ROOT ROT DISEASES
Develop New Varieties OF To-
bacC0 to Lower the Losses
From Root Rot.

SO widespread have the losses from
root rot been in the tobacco grow
ing sections that a large part Of the
Investigations made with this crop
have been toward the control of this
one disease.
Wisconsin growers are looking for
ward with considerable interest and
hope in the development Of disease
resistant strains of tobacco which are
being selected by James Johnson of
the Wisconsin college of agriculture.
"While success has been secured
with reference to the growth of resist
ant strains" says Mr.. Johnson they
have not been tested finally from the
standpoint of their curing qualities
from commercial point Of view. All
indications up to the present time
point toward the commercial success
of the work.
ESPECIALLY interesting are the re-
suits, which promise practical import
ance, that have been secured by cross
ing the resistant Little Dutch variety
upon the very susceptible White Bur.
ley type, with the idea of combining
the resistant characteristic of the
former with the white characteristic
of the Burley strain. A resistant white
Burnley type has been secured, although
as yet nothing is known OF its com
mercial value. The method, however
is suggestive as indicating an impor-
tant way of developing resistant
strains"

Railroads Want Part of Govern

mediate Demands.
WOULD BUY EQUIPMENT
ongestion-Senate Adopts Reso-
luton Demanding Light on
Steps to Reduce Traffic Jam.

hingtOn-Immediate use of
part of the governments revolving
fund for the purchase of rail equip
ment, was suggested to the Interstate
Commerce commission by the Associa-
tiOn of Railway Executives to aid in
relieving the present accute freight
congestion. At the same time, the
Senate adopted a resolution by Sen
atOr Reed, Missouri, calling upon the
commission for information as to what
steps it had taken toward breaking the
traffic jam.
The executives recommended that
100000 be set aside for purchase
of equipment, especially cars to meet
the insistent demands of freight. Each
road would be asked for a statement
of equipment needs and loans appOr-
toned pro rata. The executives urged
the commission to act at it's earliest
opportunity because of the car short
age.
Program Outlined.
The executives offered also the fol-
lowing program for disposition of the
remainder of the $3OO,OOO,000:
A temporary reserve for judgments
and claims against the Railroad admin
istratiOn on the roads account, $40,-
COO, 900
Appropriation for the short line rail
roads, $12,OO0,OOC.
A reserve to meet maturing obliga-
tions, $50OO0,00O
Appropriation for additions and bet
terments which will promote the
movement of cars, $73,OOO,O0O.
If maturing obligations of the vari-
Gus roads do not require full use of
the $50,0OO,O00 set aside for that pur
pose, the remainder should be turned
into the fund for the purchase of
equipment, n was added

- REATNESS and the presidency
NJ found John Tyler down on one
knee, playing "knucks" with his boys
in pathway of his dOOryard in Will
liamsburg, that stately old vice-regal
village Of colonial Virginia. He had
not even heard that Harrison was i'll.
until destiny, without steam, wire or
rail to carry It, sped to him from Wash
ington by boat and buggy with the
news that the president had been dead
a day and that the empty presidential
chair was awaiting the vice president.
Tyler belongs among the third or
fOurth-rate presidents. Although
clean-handed, kindly man of good pres
ence and polished manners, he was
a mediocre country lawyer and mar
row-minded politician, with Il gift for
getting Offices that he had no gift for
filling.
As John Tyler stepped into the
White House, its door closed against
the party which had elected him only
five months before. Death had turned
out the Wings after 80 days of power
and caused political revolution.

ident as only regent for the Harri-

GUINEA EGG MARKET POOR

AS profitable egg producers, gu
nea hens can not compete With ordl-
nary hens. but during the latter part
of the spring and throughout The
summer they are persistent layers
The eggs are smaller than hen eggs,
weighing about IA ounces each,
while eggs of the common foul aver
are about ounces each; conse-
quently guinea eggs sell at a price
somewhat lower.
There is no special market for
guinea eggs, and they are usually
graded by dealers as small hen eggs
Owing to the natural tendency of the
guinea hen to nest in patch. of
weeds or some other well-hidden
place, many of the eggs are not
found until they are no longer fit
for market. The shells of guinea
eggs are so thick and often SO dark
that it is difficult to test them by
Gambling. For this reason, and also
because the eggs are small. dealers
do not like to handle them. For
home use, however. guinea eggs can
be made to take the place of hen
eggs, and many regard them as supe-
r!or in flavor. In composition the
greatest difference is that the shell
is thicker and the yolk makes up
q slightly larger proportion of the

son administration and for the Wing
party. Early In the extra session of
congress, that impression Of the SEN
ator from Kentucky was sharply cor
rected by a presidential veto Of one Of
his own bills-a banking bill.
The Wings were wild with rage:
the Democrats filed with glee. The
Democratic senators FASTENED in q
body to the White House, where they
were patting Tyler on the back while
Wing mob outside in the yard was
making vociferous, but futile pro-
test. When the next veto came In
Clay himself called the cabinet to-
gether and the members, with one ex-
ceptiOn, agreed to resign.
The exception was none other than
that Of the secretary Of state, Daniel
Webster. "Where am to GOT" the
g0d-like Daniel Numbered in his be-
wilderment. Some told him to 60 to
one place, some to another. He held
on for two years, until he had con-
cluded the negotiation Of the Ashbur-
ton treaty, which fixed the disputed
boundary between Maine and Canada,
and then he resigned.
Upon Webster's retirement, Tyler
installed in the state department his
mentor and idol, John G. Calhoun, and
thus completed the Overturn. The
cabinet was now out and out Demo
cratic and Of the prO-slavery brand.
Texas had seeded from Mexico.
which had abolished slavery, and its
American settlers, who were facing the
choice Of slave labor or free labor,
were anxious to be admitted to the
Union. The slave holders of the
southern states wanted to expand
their power over the vast Texan en-
pire as an offset to the rapid expan-
sion Of the free states in the great
West. But northern sentiment was
opposed.
At an oppOrtune moment for the
annexationists, the ubiquitous John
Bull. with his omnipresent gunboat,
appeared on the Texan scene as q
mediator between Mexicans and
Texans. His entry gave the slave In.
terests the needed villain for the play.
and the cry went up that we must
annex Texas to keep the British from
grabbing 1t.
Nevertheless the senate rejected
overwhelmingly the treaty Of annexa.
