Three Conflicts Settled.

The first conflict settled was that
between Sweden and Finland over the
strategic Aland islands, when detailed
negotiations gave sovereignty over
the island to Finland assured abso-
Lutte protection to their predominant
Swedish population, and effected their
naturalization through a ten-pOWer
treaty.
Second was the Polish-Lithuanian
dispute, where the league has pre-
vented the hostilities threatened by
Zoligovski's seizure of Wilma and of
fered project of settlement which is
atill being negotiated.
Third was the Upper Silesia dis
pute, which, because of the deadlock
between Great Britain and France,
threatened the breakup of the entente
and which was solved only when the
league was called in and drew up an
entirely new form of solution safe
guarding economic as well as nation
ality interests.
Fourth was the Jugo-Slav invasion
of Albania, when Lloyd Georges tele-
gram to the league requesting the APP
plication Of the economic blockade
against Serbia for having begun hos
tilities without arbitration, and i'm
mediate public sessions of the councils
sent Jugo-Slav exchange tumbling,
held up an important loan, and forced
the Jugo-Slav government to withdraw
it's troops behind the frontier.
Finally the three-cornered Tacna-
africa dispute was argued at length in
public session on demand of Bolivia,
and although the results were not con
elusive, it is interesting to note that
Chile and Peru have agreed to arbi-
trate.
An even more constructive work has
been undertaken, first, in setting about
removing as many general causes Of
difficulty as possible, and, second, in

self, apparently as type of ancient
monotheism. Still later he becomes
identified with Shem, the son of Noah,
and the ancestor of Abraham, and is,
the subject of an elaborate story in the
Egyptian book of Adam and Eve. In
this story he is represented as having
been chosen Of God from all gen
erations of men," to stand by the body
Of Adam after it had been brought
back to Jerusalem. He is supposed
to have remained with Adams body
under the protection of an angel until
he encountered Abraham. He is one
of the four mentioned in Holy Writ
as without father and without mother
without descent, having neither begin
ming of days nor end of life, but made
like unto the son of God abiding for
ever.'

MeIchizedek So Figures in Pages Of
Scripture and as Character
in Legends.

Melchizedek is a vague character
occasionally mentioned in the Scrip
lures, whose name means king of
righteousness" The most definite
references to him indicate that he was
king of Salem, and priest of Jehovah
in the time of Abraham. uniting the
royal with the priestly dignity, and
so becoming a welcome type for the
ancient writer's.
Later on his name seems to have
become more or less legendary, and
was used in a figurative sense as "a
priest forever after the order OF
Melchizedek," and he is placed in the
same category as the Messiah, Him.

First Car of Season.

The first automobile to make
a run into the village from the
rural districts since last year was
the car owned by Art Ziebell, who
brought it in from Little st. Ger
main last Saturday. While they
encountered many snowdrifts,
only one stopped traffic. In front
of the Siefert farm, the machine
had to be pulled through with a
team. Rather early as yet for au-
to travel. 1t will be another week
before one dares brave a cross
country trip, unless he carries a
crew of men, shovels and possibly
a team with him, if such can be
done. Snow in the woods is
some deep" even at this time of
the spring season.

PREVENT
INFLUENZA
Malady is Prevalent in Some
STRENGTHENING Given.&

Influenza is especially prevalent
in the northern and northwestern
sections of Wisconsin and is APP
pearing in other localities, the
state board of health reported.
Preventive cautions are strong
~ advised wherever danger of the
disease turks, as follows:
Avoid crowds.
Avoid all who are sick.
Keep the feet dry, the body
warm.
Sterilize all dishes used.
Get all the fresh air possible,
without taking cold in doing so.
Wash the hands before eating,
as mouth secretions often are
transferred in this way.
When taken sick or the symp-
toms are present, go to bed and
summon a physician.
A total of 500 influenza cases
were reported in the first ii days
of March, $50 of which were re-
ported in the first three days of
the past week and 325 in the pre-
vious week.

The annual statement of The Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company shows
how its policyholders feel about the mat
ter, because of all the insurance issued by
il in 1921, more than $3.50 was issued
upon applications of men already insured
in the Northwestern. That IS pretty good
evidence that policyholders consider the
Company fair and square, and when
a company forms the habit it viii con-
tinue to be fair and square" after its
policies mature
A policy natures" when it becomes pay
able to the insured or to the beneficiary or
benefciaries named therein. 1t IS OF the
utmost importance that company always
have sufficient funds with which to pay
claims promptly when called upon to do so.
The law requires all life insurance compa-
MES constantly to maintain sinking fund
for that purpose and prescribes the method
of computing the fund, which is called the
reserve. On January /, 1922 the law
required the Northwestern to have re-
serve" amounting to over $50 million dol
lars, and on that day it had assets to the
amount of sol million dollars. If these as
sets were good, then ne reserve was safe.
lust exactly how good these assets are
may be Judged from the fact that 224 mil
lion dollars of them are in first lien, real
estate mortgages (155 million in farm and
90 million in city loans) on property val
ued at 724 million; $50 million in United
States and other high-grade bonds, and
70 million in advances made to policy
holders upon the security of the cash
value of their own policies.

all liabilities amounting to some "a million

The Northwestern did not break any rec

means that the cost of insurance to its
policyholders will be less in 1922 than It
was in 1921.
IF policyholders have noticed, every time
they pay their premiums, they get re-
fund. We have all become accustomed
TO refer to this refund as dividend.
It is not a dividend, however, IN the
commercial sense. Here is how IT arises:
Premiums in a mutual company are COM
puted with an allowance for safety and
when the cost Of the insurance for the
wear is ascertained, any excess is returned
to policyholders. The net cost OF insur-
ance. therefore, depends upon this refund
of the unused part of the premium.
pol;evholders are interested in expenses, for the
smaller the expenses the larger the dividends
One item of expense should interest pohcyhoiders
especially, and that is taxes" For the privilege
of doing business for their Poheyholders, HE N
surance companies are subject TO heavy burdens
OF taxation. both state and national Taxes are
charged as an expense and if they did not exist,
the net cost of insurance would be just that much
lower.
Despite this heavy item, The Northwestern Mutual
life Insurance Company has kept up, and we be-
Heve IL will keep up, its refunds to Poheynoioers;
and this it can do because OF careful selection OF
risks, expert and advantageous investment OF
funds and rigid economy Of management.

13-yEAR-OLD BOY
GETS PRISON TERM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Aug. 22.--
Only thirteen years old and an inmate
of the state penitentiary!
This is the plight of Bruce Miller.
of Kansas City. Bruce was received
from Benton county, after having
been sentenced to serve two years for
robbery. Falsfying that he was nine
teen at the time of his arrest didn't
cause the court to be any too lenient
with him.
Mother love has since intervened in
an effort to keep her sons record un-
smirched from the stain of a prison
record. Mrs. Miller established the
fact that Bruce is only thirteen and
appealed to Judge C. A. Calvird, or
Clinton, before whom the youngster
was arraigned, for a revocation of SEN
tence.
1t is understood the prison board is
planning to recommend the parole of
the boy, who had acted as a lookout
for a man who robbed a store.
