War risk insurance is the greatest bargain ever put on the life insurance counter, The Government supplies it at less than cost. Still most of the soldiers have dropped their pol- icies, an Uncle Sam, instead of getting peeved, has just put out a new offer to reinstate the pol- icies; and the only penalty is that the insured shall pay one month of insurance for the lapsed period, and then begin all over again. There has been a good deal of delays and confusion in handling the insurance matters of the War Risk Bureau. Really, though, how could it be expected that an arrangement . to cover the affairs of 4,000,000 men would be put through in a few weeks, and work smoothly? It could not be done, The one “best bet” that was offered to soldiers, sailors and marines, was their insurance. Any policy holder who sticks to his contract will get full money returns from the Government for the time he spent inthe service on small pay. As we read day after day the statements of Director R. G. Cholmley-Jones fairly imploring the boys who were in the service to restore their contracts, we cannot help but admire the patience of the Director; but the thought often suggests it- self, that there is no sensible excuse why young men should not. avail themselves of so fine an opportunity to carry out a plain duty which they: owe to themselves and their families— and if they do not avail them- selves of that opportunity carrying Government insurance, then they fail to recognize a good bargain. HELPING WESTERN INDUS-| TRIES. Fruit juice manufacture has| developed into a large industry in the west. After hearing the argument of the producers, the house votes to make a sharp re- duction in the war tax on this product, which was_ severely handicapping this industry. It also voted to eliminate the ten) per cent on sodawater and Ice | cream. The question of removing the five per cent excise tax on candy is also of great interest of west- ern states. Candy manufac- turing which is growing with the development of the sugar beet industry is unjustly bur- dened by this discriminatory tax which should be eliminated along with taxes such as the above. Congress will undoubt- edly take favorable action along these lines soon. “Pack my, box with five dozen liquor jugs” is the shortest sentence in the language con-| taining all the letters of the alphabet. But since July 1 the fellow who does it is apt to draw one of the longest sen- tences on record.—The Optimist. French girls ai are e having the mayors of various American cities report on the records of American soldiers who want to marry them. The same plan if followed by American girls might head off some unhappy unions. Although grasshoppers are not usually noticed by the farm- er until they have reached a considerable size, they begin to injure his crops immediately upon hatching from the egg. They should be detected and combated, therefore, while young and small, so that time, labor, and material, as well as crops, may be saved.
