DICTIONARIES TO

Ferris Takes Matter Up With Direc.
tor of War Risk Insurance Bureau
and Receives Explanation
With Details.
Local Temperature.

Washington, Jan. 7.---If the Wason
bill now pending before the house
should become a law the American
Legion will get in the main what IL
has demanded in the matter of III
surance regulation amendments. This
information is contained i'm Il letter
to Congressman Scott Ferris from
the director of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance The letter is q re-
ply to a letter addressed to the di-
rector by Mr. Ferris while he was i'm
Oklahoma City just before the holi-
days which set for the demands of
a committee of the Oklahoma City
post of the American Legion.
AS regards the payment of insur-
ance claims for losses sustained dur.
ing peace time the director says,
the insured may specify under the
new contracts converted insurance.
that the face value of the policy may
be payable to the beneficiary either
in a lump sum or In SO or more
monlthly installments. Lump-sum set
Elements are not allowed as yet un-
der the term insurance in peace time.
However, this matter is coming up
before the house some time in Janu.
ary as part of the Wason bill.
Il have always urged that those
who carry term insurance during
peace times should have exactly the
same privilege as those carrying the
new converted policy during peace
times, for the premiums on both are
according to the American Expert
ence Table of Mortality and are self
sustaining. To deny this privilege
to those who hold term insurance
is in my opinion a rank discrimina-
tion against those who are unable
financially to pay the higher rate OF
premium on twenty-payment life
The American Legion are very
strongly of this opinion and have al
ready passed resolutions urging its
immediate adoption
With reference to the payment of
$1,000 as lump sum on account of
death, the director says this matter
is entirely in the hands of the insur-
ed, and under the term insurance nc
lump sum whatever can be paid l..
the program mentioned is put into
effect, he says the matter would
then be in the hands of the insured
and he could specify that lump
sum could be paid at his death.

WHEAT CROP Of
COUNTY IS GUT
BY CONDITIONS
$4,000 Acres in Wheat This Year
Against 10000 Last Year; Grow
ing Crop Is Not Good Reports
OF Farmers Say.

AS compared with the yield year
ago, Grady county will have about a
25 per cent wheat crop this year.
The acreage for 1919 was 10000, and
reports show Mat only $4,000 acres
have been sown to wheat for har-
vest next summer Not only is the
acreage reduced about rs per cent
but the stalte of the growing crop in
dicates yield below normal.
Farmers state that this time last
year wheat was being pastured in or
der to delay its growth, while now
the growing stalks are so small in
many fields it is impossible to use
the crop for pasturage.
The large reduction I'm acreage is
attributed to unfavorable weather
conditions during sowing time. AT
the beginning of the seeding season
the ground was so hard that it could
not be plowed. Heavy rains followed
and kept the farmers from properly
preparing the seed bed.
Opinions as to the cause OF the
tardy growth of the crop vary. The
chief theory seems to be that the soil
has repeatedly suffered what is tea,mr
ed dry freezes which have proven
disastrous to growing wheat.
The present rains are packing the
ground and temporarily will put an
end to damage caused by freezes fan
mers say. However, 1t is agreed that
what is needed most at this time is
either warmer weather or snow, hut
even with ideal weather conditions,
few Grady county growers hope to
produce as much as rs per cent of
last years yield.
