Uncle Sam is offering them, and will
take advantage of the liberal rein
statement provisions. The Govern
nent's Insurance business, then, will
run to perhaps more than thirty bill
lion total.
Right here in the Tenth District,
U. S. Veterans Bureau, which COM
prises the states of Minnesota, tn !
Dakotas, and Montana, there are 1885,
900 men eligible to carry this insur-
ance. Since January 1st of this year,
about three hundred veterans in Min
neapolis alone have reinstated their
insurance, thereby retaining about
$4,000, 900 of insurance.
The Veterans Bureau cannot pay
premiums for the men who have drop
ped their insurance, but it can assist
them to clearer understanding of the
necessity for life insurance and the
unexeelled phase of the Government

MinnesOta's First
Thanksgiving Day

When the first official Thanksgiving
Day in Minnesota was celebrated, on
December &c, 1850, the nine counties
of the territory counted only few
more than 5000 people. st. Paul was
a frontier village with about 225
dwelling houses, while st. Anthony
could boast only lis. But the good
cheer of the day did not hinge upon
numbers.
At the suggestion of a group Of
clergymen, Gov. Ramsey issued a
proclamation setting aside one of the
Christmas holidays as day of thanks
giving. Among the blessings which
he enumerated were abundant crops;
freedom from ravages of blast, hurri-

and friendly relations between the

What We Are Missing

Three centuries ago our torefathers
chafed beneath the oppressive ana
arbitrary yoke of the Old World re
CINE, to escape which they braved
the hardships, the privations, and the
dangers of the American wilderness.
At length, to sever completely the
chains that bound them, they waged
a desperate warfare; they were VIC
torious; and in their new-found free
dom established "a church without a
pope and a state without king"
Symbolizing this, on the reverse side
of the great seal of the United States
they engraved the observation-disclosures
Ordo Seclorun1-meaning "a New
Order of Things
In colonial days, the schools were
established and maintained by the
churches, and the stalwart builders OF
the new republic were the product OF
those Christian colleges. A correct
view of things civil and religious was
maintained. Even in our own day,
statistics give approximately 500

ENGLAND and America" in the
words of another, "use education to
establish and defend the ideals of Ii
berty, justice, and righteousness" and
in harmony with this policy, system
of public instruction has been develop
ed in our land of which every red
blooded American is justly proud.
Public, private and sectarian schools
are equally protected under the Con-
stitution, which, according to the Ian
guage penned in the Preamble by the
fathers, was ordained to "secure the
blessings Of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity.'
i Today, a new and grave situation
confronts us, William Allen White, in
his recent article in Golfers, entitled,
whats the Matter with America
makes this analysis:
! For a hundred years we have pin
ned our faith to two improving agen-
cies in this country: education and Il
rising economic status.
i eve have said that we can take the
low grade stock of Europe and teach
it three years of Latin, spherical trl-
gonometry, a year of physics, mod
ern language, some United States his
tory, and Longfellow's epics, and make
it fit for elf-governing democracy;
if only you give it modern plumbing,
fresh air, motor cars, living wage,
and helping hand.
"But these things are not working.
The motor car bandits, grafters, thugs,
city hall bosses, and municipal tyrants
of various sorts, all live in the pink
cotton and tinfoil environment to
which we have pinned our faith. In
deed, most of these rascals have been
educated through our taxes, and Sc
taught to undo us.
Education and environment will
help, but they will not cure. For we
are missing something somewhere"
) Mr.. White emphasizes the generally
accepted scientific truth that acquired
characters are not transmitted to off
spring, and that only natural char
acteristics born with the individual
are in turn passed on to the succeed
y ing genration. He continues:

BEE INDUSTRY IN WEST
TEXAS IS EXPANDING

Stamford, Textile territory en-
braced by the activities of the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce, seventy
four counties in number, produce an
nually approximately 1,143,127 pounds
of honey and 19,2O7 pounds of bees
wax, valued at $3,476,00O, according to
the research department of the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce The fig
ures are based on the government CEN
sus report for 1920.
The research department explains
that the figures in the foregoing state
ment do not include those for the pro-
duction of honey by wild bees, which,
it Is asserted, may be assumed as i'm
mense. In some western counties cliffs
and caves of streams are tenanted BY
these busy bees, storing up ton after
ton Of honey for consumption in win
ter by their armies" Near Austin,
years ago, bees were extremely popu-
lous, inhabitating the numerous caves
along the Colorado and tributaries.
Such conditions obtain to a more or
less degree on the Llano, San Saba,

DAMACEBY WEEVILS
in FIELDS OF SOUTH
Bugaboo of Southern Planters
Has Record Year in De-
stroying Cotton Crop.

Washington-The boil weevil, de
and bugaboo of the cotton grower, had
a record year and did itself proud in
the fields of the South last year by
preventing production of 6,277,000
bales of cotton which with the seed
that would have been ginned, was
worth $61O,341 600 based on farm
prices Of Dec. l last
A careful study of the damages to
cotton by the boil weevil and other
causes has just been concluded by the
department of agriculture, whose re-
port shows that during the thirteen
years, 19O9-1921, the hypothetical value
of the prevented production of cotton
from all causes totaled $11, 473 500 900.
OF that amount the boil weevil dam
age amounted to $3,102,152,00O. The
farm value of cotton, including seed,
produced in those thirteen years ag-
gregated s15,646, 523, 900 or an average
Of 81, 2O3, 57S,700 year.
Actual production of cotton in those
thirteen years aggregated 159,648,00
bales, while damage from all sources
aggregated 1O9, 423, 900 bales, Of which
the boil weevil is credited with pre-
venting production of 2S,776,00 bales.
The potential production of cotton in
the United States for those years
therefore aggregated 269 ,OS2,000 bales
Of an average of 20,69S,615 bales year
ly, while the reduction Of the crops be-
cause of the damage from all sources
average 8,418,000 bales annually and
the boil weevirs average toll 2,213,538
bales yearly.
From point of loss in production
through all causes 1921 was a record
year. The estimated potential pro-
duction aggregates 1S,666,000 bales,
prevented production being 1O,712,0O0
bales, for which the boil weevil was
responsible for 6,277,OOO bales. The
actual production was 7,954,OO bales.
Prevented production, therefore, far
exceeded the actual crop and the
weevil caused reduction equal to 70
per cent of the actual crop.
The loss from all causes in 1921 was
1851 pounds per acre. The nearest
approach to that figure was In 1909
when the loss was 144.9 pounds per
acre, and the smallest loss was in 1911
with 91.5 pounds.

to figures compiled by George B. Ter
