PLENTY OF BEETS AND
 PLENTY OEI WINE


 Sharpsburg, Md, Oct. 20.-The may be a small town. but the resi- dents are full of big ideas
 Sharpsburg is famous for its beets- This year the beet crop was so great that the residents were completely oyerstocked with the vegetable. They were in a quandary as to how they could usefully dispose of the large surplus.
 While this momentous question was being pondered over by Sharpsburg- CTS one of the residents came to the front with the announcement that he was going to make wine out of his surplus stock of beets.
 But another obstacle presented it. self in the carrying out of his plan in~using the beets. His surplus stock of beets was~so enormous that there was nothing available to hold the huge amount of wine the beets would produce.
 Then another bright idea struck him.
 He is now digging ctstern in which the wine will be stored.

UNITED FRUIT HEAD
WILL NOT RETIRE
A. w. Preston Will Continue
in Office With Loyal
Support.

William Newsome. vice-president of
the United Fruit Company. yesterday
issued a statement denying that any
special Importance attached to the dis
missal of L. w. Ong. former vice-presi-
dent. and affirming that a. w. Preston.
president. would continue in office with
the loyal support OF the entire organi-
zation.
Il can say positively that all talk OF
the retirement of Mr.. Andrew w. Pres
ton as president of the company is
without foundation" Mr.. Newsome
said. 1.-THE company will continue un-
der his strong. far sighted and active
leadership. Any statement questioning
the company's position, financial or
otherwise, is ridiculous and not borne
out by the facts, which are at the dis
posal of any one taking the trouble to
inquire.
while undoubtedly n blow to his
friends, the Ong incident, regardless Of
sensational attempts to make 1t appear
otherwise, is merely n personal matter
having no bearing whatever on the COM
pany, its organization and personnel.
In fact. the decision to call for the res
ignation of Mr.. Ong was arrived at sew
eral weeks ago and was scheduled for
action at the regular executive commit
tee meeting held in Boston on Decem-
Der 20"

SHIP BOARD RISKS
CALLED LESS SAFE
w. II. McGee Tells Why Insur-
ance Is Higher Than on
Other Vessels.

Little can be done by American ma.
rine insurance underwriters to relieve
Shipping Board vessels of the higher
premiums they must pay in many in
stances. William II. MCGEE of William
III. McGee & Co. said yesterday after
his return from Washington, where he
consulted with Shipping Board officials
as member of the committee ap-
pointed by Commissioner Meyer Liss-
ner to report on the marine insurance
situation.
ITO ask underwriters to grant the
same premiums on Shipping Board
vessels as are fixed on the ships of
experienced and long-established steam
ship companies is like asking a life
Insurance company to issue the same
policy to an S0-year-old man as it gives
TO 20-year-old boy" Mr.. MCGEE said.
1T Is not a matter of discrimination,
the fact simply is that a hull and cargo
in the hands of a Shipping Board
operator are usually not as safe as it
would be if operated by an old Amerl-
can or foreign company.
Thine will correct this condition, as
Government vessels are placed in the
trades they arc best suited for and as
the operators attain experience and re-
liability, as some OF them have al
ready. Meanwhile the underwriters will
do all they can to meet the wishes
of the board, which certainly has a
real problem on its hands. 1t may be
that for a time some variation of the
subsidy idea will be necessary to COM
pensate for the marine insurance dis
advantages Of American operators.
1T is not enough for American un-
derwriters TO declare that they will
grant the same rates to Shipping Board
operators as they quote on the best
foreign ships. We have already prac-
tically given this assurance. But the
problem ultimately rests with the for
eign shipper and foreign marine insur-
ance interests. The Liverpool cotton
importer naturally demands that his
cotton be carried in British ships, when
he Is told by the underwater that the
American ship is not as safe and carries
higher insurance"
