Investing in Books

A silo is an investment. So is q
car. So is a pure-bred sire. So is
a new barn. So is consolidated
school,
None of these produces immediate
results enough to cover its cost. Its
purchase is an act Of faith. The hope
is that it will be profitable next month
or next year, or through the long
course of the years.
Books are like that. There's nc
money in them, now. There may be
no money in them, ever But of
course everybody knows that profits
are not always expressed in dollars.
Books which are used help to deter
mine ones Standing in the communi-
ty. A man cannot do business in the
country without a car. Aside from
his other limitations, people won't
take him seriously if he goes about
afoot. So, neither in city, nor coun-
try can home make pretentions to
culture, or even intelligence, without
books. The homes library may be
small. but if it is well-chosen and
not for show, it's shelves will in
crease the intellectual influence of
that home as surely as the SHOWS of
the Sierras deepen the current of
the Northwestern Ad-
vocate.

About Fire Insurance

Fergus Falls Tribune: A rather
startling statement went the rounds
! of country newspapers of Minnesota
a few weeks ago, to the effect that
the fire insurance companies doing
business in this state got away with
enormous profits last year.
The figures were not correct, but
they were not Intentionally incorrect,
nor, indeed, very misleading as to the
relative receipts and expenditures, ex
cept-
Except that they gave the total
premium receipts, and the total losses,
and announced the difference between
the two as profits" This difference
was a little under $4,500,0 100000,
which would for fact have been a
! tidy little profit, if it actually had
been secured.
So many newspapers nave printed
or commented on the misleading and
absurd statement that it seems worth
while to give accurate figures, in the
/ hope that some editors will have the
fairness to copy them, or at least to
correct what they originally thought
was the profit" of the insurance
companies.
In 1923 the fire premiums paid in
Minnesota were $12,504,4 36. The
losses paid were S8,3SS,525. The bal
ance, for expenses and profits, was
! $4,115,911.
Large figures are confusing. The
distribution of the total receipts can
more understandings be put into per-
centages.
Of each dollar received, 81 cents
went to pay losses: local agents re-,
ceived 81 p cents; field men (super-
vision, inspection, traveD, cents;
gross earnings tax, cents; other
, taxes, fees, fire marshall, salvage
corps, cents; rating bureau, con-
Quoted under the law, z cents; home
and branch offices, Federal taxes,
rents, clerk hire, postage, ETC., 10
cents.
All the rest of the dollar is profit,
and is paid to the stockholders.
If the above percentage expenses
are added, it will be found that for
every dollar received in this state in
premiums last year, S1.13 was paid
in actual expense. In other words
the state owes the companies nearly
| 81 100000 on last years business,
without dollar of profit.
] The above figures are authentic.
( Every editor who made the absurd
misstatements of September and Octo-
Der last can verify them. The au-
! thority used is that standard manual
of insurance, Fire Insurance by
/ States"

Do Slaves Rebel?

Kansas City Post: The women of
France are refusing to wear the whit
er hats, according to a dispatch from
Paris. They want little cloche with
fitted dome for a crown. The mil
liners have decreed tall directoire
crown, with upturned brim, all made
of velvet. All that is pretty much
Greek to the mere male, but you're
welcome to it.
The war wakes warm The women
say they will wear their summer and
fall hats all winter, if it is necessary,
before they will give approval to the
new head-pieces. The milliners. if
they are ladies, shrug their pretty
shoulders, and if they are gentlemen
shrug their equally pretty ones, and
hold their stocks intact. 1t remains
to be seen whether they will hold them
intact all winter, and whether they
can.
A lot has been said, within the last
few years, about the emancipation of
women. Politically, they have won
emancipation. Economically and So
cially, they have only claimed upon
behalf of the entire sex what some
have enjoyed for centuries. Women
have been queens and barmaids in
Europe since the fall of the feudal
system.
But here is sign that the emanci-
patton of women is about to become
complete. 1t is yet too soon to ac-
cept it as fact. But when the wo-
men declare their indepence of those
lords of creation, the milliners and
the dressmakers, the emancipation of
the sex will be an entire reality.

rageous treatment jurymen have to
submit to when lawyers are examin-

they were crooks and perjurers, and
harassed and embarrassed by petty

This situation can be corrected when
judges go little bit out of the way

not brow-beaten by too-enthusiastic

ARMIsTICE DAY APPROACHES.

Next Tuesday is Armistice Day. World affairs are in better shape than they were a year ago. Prospects for definite acton looking to the prevention of wars are brighter than they have been since 1918. For the first time the veterans feel some hope that their sacrifice of valuable years of life will have some recompense In the way of protecting this nation, not only against an active enemy, but also against future emergencies of the same sort. Formerly, it was sufficiently inspiring thought for soldiers to feel that they had won a war. Now there is the additional reward of having perhaps fought a war to end a war; That was the slogan that animated and encouraged this whole na- tion during the war period. We must not lose sight of it in our plans for the future
 Undoubtedly the veterans will throng , to their old units wherever possible, Tn order to take part in the days observ- ance. But it is the citizens on the side lines to whom the occasion should be ot most significance and upon whom 1t de- wolves most heavily to see that the war achievement is minted into permanent benefit. Up to this date it does not ap- pear that this obligation has been fully met. Perhaps Armistice Day reflections will serve to quicken the popular con- science and inspire greater effort to achieve some of the ideals we fully ap- prove in our own minds, and which are part of the tacit pledge we made to our soldiers.

FoRn,S NEWEST VENTURE

Henry Ford has added export in his own steamships to his other actlvltles. His steamer, the Onondaga, left River Rouge near Detroit Wednesday for
 Buenos Aires by way of Montreal, with 300 tons of automobile parts from the Ford factory. The vessel had to take less than full cargo until past the four Iteen-foot minimum in the St. Lawrence channel, Another steamer, the Oneloa, lis taking on cargo for the Gulf coast ana will continue in the coastwise trade De- tween Detroit and other points on the AL Ilantic and Gulf oasts. While the win ter ice occupies the Northern waters, the
 Ford steamers will receive cargo at Nor folk by rail from Detroit and other cen
 ters of Ford production.
 Besides being customary Ford dem onstration that he can do things for hlm- self more cheaply than he can obtaln the
 same service from others, the enterprise is significant of the Ford intention to ex-
 pand foreign trade, not towards Europe 1 but towards Latin America. This pro-
 gram is new evidence that Ford keeps abreast of the best counsel and advlce available, for this counsel has for years been seeking to direct the attention o1 American exporters to the tremendous lLatin-American opportunity. Blrmlng' ham exporters are also studying the
 Latin-American L field and there is belief
 that immediate new connections at stra tepic points in these countries will be made for an expanded business of all kinds. Latin America as market fol
 American goods is not what it is but what
 we shall make it.

PARTY SAFEGUARDS NEEDED.

~ In commenting upon the episode of MT. J. w. Minor in the recent election in Birmingham, the Mobile Register takes occasion to reflect that it is an example of an objectionable practice that has been obtruded in other cases throughout the country. The Register believes that if party adherence is not made test of party candidacy, the party may confi- dently look for just the sort of trouble presented in Jefferson county. Party authority itself is lax and party discipline is not enforced. Loyalty, therefore, is mere matter of the moment; to be prac- ticed when profitable, and to be thrown aside if personal advantage dictates that course of action"
 The people will doubtless not twice be misled in the cases of the same individual, but some precaution is needed to prevent similar episodes in the case of others, As the Register states California has a law registering the voters party affilia- tion, and rejecting his ballot if it\is not
