Insurance Business Curtailed

From all over the country come re-
ports of the slackening in business
being written by fire insurance COM
panies. In addition cancellation of
risks, threatening to bring November
premiums down to a remarkably
small total.
These cancellations in many in
stances are made by the insurance
companies, who are closely watching
the falling markets, and the decreased
values of buildings, especially those
of frame construction, that decline in
value as the lumber market cheapens.
Merchants, the majority Of whom
made their Christmas purchases of

made few arrangements for spring
purchases and as a natural conse-

The cost of insurance is on an alb
soIutely pre-war basis and has been

Worlds Greatest Producer

The United States is the most pro-
ductive country on earth. It leads
all the rest of the globe in yields of
the mint, the soil and the factory.
This fact was tersely and cogently set
forth by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chair
man of the Board of the United
States Steel Corporation, in an adj
dress which he made before the
American Iron and Steel Institute.
Judge Gary said: Notwithstanding
the United States has only 6 per cent
of the worlds population, aud but z
per cent of the worlds land, we pro-
duce:
$50 per cent of the worlds supply of
gold;
'25 per cent of the worlds supply OF
wheat;
$40 per cent of the worlds supply of
iron and steel;
$40 per cent of the worlds supply OF
lead;
$40 per cent of the worlds supply OF
silver;
$50 per cent of the worlds supply Of
zinc;
"5z per cent of the worlds supply O
coal;

Biggest in the World

The newspaper collection of the
Kansas State Historical Society-nnw
numbering more than $4,000 bound
volumes, is the largest in the world.
It is believed to be the most complete
history ever preserved of a state. The
collection is contained in the fire
proof Memorial Building at Topeka.
The Kansas publications received
by the society now number approx
imately 624 and include 60 dailies
and 486 weeklies. Kansas is the
pioneer in collecting and preserving
newspapers on an extensive scale. The
founders Of Kansas realized that in
the newspapers would be saved the
accounts of the daily life Of the state
to the most minute detail.
The collection was started by the
Kansas Editorial Association in 1875.
The editors OF the various papers al
that time contributed as many papers
as they had prior to 1875. So the
collection is fairly complete for tbs
entire period OF the states existence
since aduittance n 1851, and ever
for the territorial days.

Harmful Inuuisltiveness.

In Asia and Africa the fnquisitive-
ness Of balloons enables the natives
to capture them by placing some jars
OF sweetened water out where they can
reach it. The liquid contains certain
variety OF dopey herb. At first the
curious creatures advance rather eau
tiously toward the jars and taste the
water, then finding the taste agreeable.
they proceed to drink the jars empty.
As a result, they soon become quite
drowsy and offer no resistance when
the natives approach to take them.

Hoover's Appeal for Invisible Guests
There are three and one-half mil
lions of waits, undernourished; sick
and orphan children in Central and
Eastern Europe, who have been since
the Armistice and will be until next
harvest dependent upon America.
They are cared for in 1000 kitchens,
clinics, hospitals and asylums helped
by the charity of their own country
men to the utmost of their ability and
served by 100000 volunteers among
their countrywomen, yet the vital
food, clothing and medical care must
come from America. If these doors
are not to close, we must have $685.
100000 to carry on until the next
harvest. Is SO too much to pay for
the life of child? We cannot as a
nation desert this mass of suffering
humanity, and for the love of children
that is strong within US this obliga-
ton rails on every American family
We ask you to receive some number
OF these children as invisible guests to
sit with you at your family table dur
ing the Holidays. We must carry tc
completion the greatest human effort
our Nation or any other nation ha.
ever made. and no greater good car
go out from our people than to sea-

Surplus profits from increased
business during the war were put into
reserves and surpluses, rather than
into dividends, in order that the COM
panies might be in strong position
to meet the increase in fire losses
which they knew would come during

Now is mighty good time for state
legislatures and regulatory bodies 10

to contend with to pay its losses and

from Winters Snow and Biting

Will the big heart of Kansas be
touched by the piteous plea that
comes from thousands upon thous-
ands of orphaned sufferers in the
Near East?
You have but to think of those
heroes whose marching feet left
bloodstains in the snow at Valley
Forge to realize the even more heroic
endurance of those patient hosts of
little children in the Near East who
are now suffering from winters snow
and biting cold.
At Harpoot last winter four of
five children who appealed for help
were turned away for lack of funds.
The same heartbreaking condition
will exist in the Near East this winter
unless immediate help is given.

Manhattan, Kansas, Dec. 29.-Re-
representatives. of the various county
sheep and wool growers associations
of Kansas met at Manhattan, Decem-
Der 21, and formed the Kansas Co
operative Sheep and Wool Growers
Association. The primary object of
the organization formed is to market
the Kansas wool clip comparatively.
The association will be incorporated
under the laws of Kansas with a cap
ital stock of $4,000. divided into 5000
shares of one dollar each. Any per-
son engaged in sheep raising or pro-
ducing wool may become a member
by purchasing one share of capital
stock.
The meeting was called by the
Kansas State Farm Bureau at the re-
quest of the growers themselves.
When the wool buyers of this section
of the country refused to bid on wool
in the different farmers pools in
Kansas last spring, the sheep men
of the state met at sectional confer
ences mad selected a committee of
three men, one from each of the con-
ferences held at Topeka, Wichita and
Parsons, to act as a wool committee
to decide what should be done in re-
gard to marketing the 1920 clip, as
well as the steps to be taken toward
perfecting an organization to handle
wool in subsequent years.
The committee, composed of Seth
Fenton, Vinland; C. II. Stewart, Nc
Cune; and H. J. Winslow, Dal.en
met and recommended that the Kan
sas State Farm Bureau be asked tt
take over the wool clip of 1920 ant
store it to be marketed, and to call ;
meeting for forming a state organiza
ton of wool men.
The constitution adopted provides
that the association shall appoint 4;

Establishment OF legal aid bu-
reaus throughout the United States
TO give free legal advice to the poor
was recommended as u means for
checking the spread OF radicalism, by
speakers at the convention OF the
American Bar association, In session
in st. Louis.
"There Is no more serious men
ace" Charles Evans Hughes declar-
ed, than the discomfort which is
fostered by belief that one cannot
enforce his legal rights because of
poverty. To spread that notion Is
to open broad road to Bolshevism.
"The poor man must have legal
advice and except in the simplest
matters he needs skilled assistance
TO present the merits of his case.
Without opportunity on the part
of the poor to secure such aid, II Is
idle to talk OF equality before the
law. You may provide the ihachin-
cry of courts but to have justice ac-
cording to law, save in very linn
tied class of cases where judge may
act as adviser, you must have the aid
of lawyers. The legal aid society
is the poor mans lawyer and gives
him the essential assistance he can
not obtain elsewhere"
Reginald Heber Smith of Boston
said simplihed court procedure
would obviate the necessity for legal
counsel in certain cases but where
the services of a lawyer were de-
manded they should be available
irrespective of the financial stand
ing'of the client.

Far over the wide. wide ocean
In France is a little hill;
There the nor'h wind is blowing
And II whistles. loud and shrill.
II mourns for the U. S. laddies,
Brave boys who met their fate;
With hearts brave tho weary,
Who battled long and late
For Right" at Chateau Thierry.
There is no grand monument
To mark the sacred spot
Where these noble men persisted,
but their deeds are not forgot.
For the memory is cherished
All. the world around.
And love Is the laurel
With which the mem'ry's crowned
Twas not an easy thing.
This lot, so far from home to die
But for Right they faltered not
And meath the sod they lie.
All dreams, and hopes, and plans,
Were shattered, at breath.
How glorious! their noble deeds
win not go down 20 death.
And when those in strife slain,
Milleniums meath the sod.
In peace have lain,
Then will the memory so dear
In the human hearts remain.
The winds that sigh and moan
VIII echo this same refrain,
The memory of how they fought
With hearts brave tho weary,
How for'Rightthey dared and died
At shell-torn Chateau Thierry.
