Burglary insurance men announced
yesterday that increasing losses had
caused them to decide to apply the CO.
insurance clause to all mercantile poll
cies and, perhaps, to householdcrs'
policies as we'll. Heretofore. this
clause has been invoked only when
SILKS or furs were insured against
theft.
1t requires the policyholder to in
sure his, goods so per cent of their
total value. Representatives of forty
companies attended the meeting al
which the decision. was reached The
new rule will be effective February
in new po 'icies and March l in re-
newa!s. 1t was said that loses were
being sustained now even on policies
against loss by highway robbery, for
merly a remunerative branch Of the
business.
Although the co-insurance plan is
scheduled now to apply only to mer-
cantlie business, committee is con-
sidering its application to insurance Of
private homes and will report within
thirty days. Insurance men have IRA

TO THE DEMOCRATIC
WOMEN OF RICHMOND

Every Democratic woman is urged
to register on Tuesday, October 5, for
unless you register you cannot vote,
and the women must be brought to
the realization of the Importance of
casting their first vote for James NJ.
Cox for president, and thereby up
hold the League of Nations. To vote
for Cox and the League of Nations
is a solemn duty you owe to every
man who; fought in the late war, and
TO those who might be called upon to
fight in future wars, which is sure to
occur if the League of Nations is not
upheld. Think of what your husbands
and sons endured in the World war
and the agoines of mind and body en-
dured by them, and then can you say,
''No, I don't want to vote; l take no
interest in politics. I think it is out
of woman's sphere; I have my cook
ing to do, or preserving" etc. = a
thousand such excuses have been Civ
en- by women to taking part.
AS sad before, when such excuses
a sthese come into your mind, don't
given them expression, but stop and
think of the suffering heroes in the
bloody and muddy trenches and how
they fought for. you and me without
murmur, and as was demonstrated by
many of the youthful boy lecturers
sent out to tell us of the war during
that awful period, they even tried to
make it appear rosy to US, so the peo
pie back home would not worry over

TOBACCO GROWERS
I HOLDING PRODUCT
Capacity of Sheds Taxed With
Much Tobacco Yet Standing
NO Hurry to Sell J.

While the capacity of most of the
tobacco barns and, in some instances,
every available shed is packed to its
utmost capacity, there is yet consid-
cradle tobacco standing in Mad
son county, and cutting is being con-
tinued. There is inclination upon the
part of many to allow their plants to
remain in the field, some taking
chances on a frost, which they do not
believe imminent, while others are
doing so from the standpoint of nee
essity. This is due to the fact that
they have neither a. place to store it
nor sticks with which to properly
handle it. The demand for sticks is
said to continue undated. Despite
the fact that the highest price in
years is being paid for them, the
sticks are said to be in some instances
impossible to get.
The rust has not been making any
Roadway in :ltis locality, it is report
ed by many during hte past fort
night, and much of the later tobacco
has been developing. This, it is as
serted by some, will make up for that
injured by recent rains. There has
been little, if any, disposition to sell,
and local prices are not being discuss
ed by the average producer, it is
claimed, many awaiting the result Of
the action of the Burley Growers.
Association meeting at Lexington on
Thursday. This meeting is expected
to be productive of reports regarding
general conditions, intentions regard
ing the sale of the years product, as
well as the consideration of a price.
There has been much activity upon
the part of the association members
during the past three week, since the
officials delegates have been working
their respective districts, securing
new members, data, etc, pertaining
to the intention of the owner, the
of production and even the
necessity Of the producer selling.
They are reported to be in posses
sion of valuable information regard
ing the quantity, the quality and the
disposition of the producer to sell.
This last phase Of the investigation is
said to be very extensive, and the fl
condition of owners of the |
weed either in the field or shed is
pretty we'll known. This and other
are for the protection of
the producers.
