COACH RECRUITING PARTY MEN IN ARMY INSURANCE DETAILS Major George V. Triplett, Jr., of Washington, Arrives in Harrisburg to Give Person at Instruction to Force— Recruiters Invite Queries of Veterans As soldiers are demobilized, and return to their various occupations in civil life, it becomes increasingly difficult to inform them fully as to the privileges and advantages under the several plans of conversion of their war risk insurance. To the jcnd that information may be as generally distributed as possible. vry effort is being made by the "War Department and the Bureau of "War Risk Insurance to give wide publicity to the terms of the new policies, in'order that soldiers may not inadvisedly drop their present Government term insurance. Major George V. Triplett, Jr., of the Adju tant General's office at Washington, arrived in Harrisburg to-day for a conference with the army recruiting party of this district, at the recruit ing office. 32 5 Market street. The recruiting sergeants from Allentown, Altoona, Chambersburg, Johnstown, Lancaster, Lebanon, Pottsville, Read ing, Shenandoah and York were present to receive the latest insur ance information.

The insurance may be converted to any of the six forms mentioned above at any time within five years, by the simple process of sending an appli cation for conversion to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washing ton, I). C. The gresent form of in surance may be carried as it is for five years, but no longer. Or.e of the most valuable features of Government insurance is that no physical examination is required. This is especially important to men who have received# injuries or be come impaired in health while in .the military service, and desires in surance of a permanent nature. The Government asks no questions about a man's physical condition at the time of conversion. In the event the insured is car rying 110,000 insurance, and dies, his beneficiary will receive $57.50 a month for 210 months, or twenty years, or a total of $13.500.00 If the insured becomes totally and permanently disabled—for example, through the loss of both eyes, both legs or both arms—the proceeds of the policy immediately becomes pay able to him, and he will receive $57.50 as long as he lives, or as long as the disability continues, without the payment of any further prem iums. This disability feature of the policy is included without any addi tional cost to the insured. It is difficult at times to make soldiers understand that the Gov ernment is not trying to make money out or ttiem. It is impossible tor the Government to make money out of the rates which will he charged. Operating expenses, salaries. etc., are paid by the Government sepa rately, and do not come out of the premiums This enables the insur ance to be issued at a remarkably low rate. All policies are participating, and the dividends from interest on the reserve and low mortality savings are payable to the policy holders. A particular effort is being made to impress on each man the fact that every feature of this insurance was designed to help the man in the service—everything is in his favor. The fact that the Govern ment lost about seven hundred mil lion dollars on losses duririg the war is sufficient proof of its purpose. This Will Remove Hair or Fuzzy Growths (Toilet Tips) A safe, certain method for rid ding the skin of ugly, hairy growths is as follows: Mix a paste with some powdered delatone and wa ter, apply to hairy surface about 2 minutes, then rub off, wash the skin and the hairs are gone. This is en tirely harmless and seldom requires repeating, but, to avoid disappoint ment, it is advisable to see that you get genuine delatone. The soldier bus everything to gain and nothing to lose by continuing his insurance. A man who has ex pressed his determination to secure for himself and his family the per manent protection of the United States Government by keeping up his Insurance policy, has proven himself a citizen aware of his duties to himself, to his family and to his community. He now has the op portunity to lay the proper founda tion for his financial future. Life Insurance furnishes the one sure means of providing against any fu ture tlnancial emergency. Life Insurance on the new plan is more than protection for the man's family; it is a guarantee to him of an old age pension, and it is the only old age pension which he will get. The former pension sys tem has been done away with in favor of the compensation feature of the War Risk Act. The insur ance is in addition to this compen sation. This plan of insurance, with its cash and loan value features and disability beneiits, not only offers the soldier an opportunity to provide continuous protection for his family and himself, but encourages habits of saving and thrift. Soldiers should not jump at con clusions from inaccurate informa tion. They should go to some one competent to advise them fully and accurately on the subject before dropping their term insurance. Full information can be secured from any of the recruiting offices in this district. Complaints will naturally aris£ from failure to secure prompt re sponse to inquiries, etc., to the Bu reau of War Risk Insurance, but when it is considered that this bu reau was suddenly called upon to administer an insurance proposition greater in volume than that handled by all insurance companies in Amer ica put together—about thirty-eight billion dollars—it will be under stood how completely everwhelmed it was with work. Over fourteen thousand employes are continuously on duty in Washington engaged in handling the vast detail of the work. It is expected that before long the work will be up to date, and prompt and accurate service given to every one. Colonel Kemper's men at the Army Recruiting Office will cheer fully answer any questions about in surance problems. British Tradesmen Hope For World-Wide Union London.

CORN ESTIMATE TO LARGE Poplar Bluff. Mo., July 23.—Crop estimates of the Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture are said to be considerably wrong for this section of the State, according to reports of prominent millers. Esti mates in this section have been too large for this year. Almost a con stant downpour of rain for a month cut the acreage of corn planted one. fourth, according to C. F. McMullin. The prospect of a crop on that diminished acreage is only 50 per cent. This applied to all the corn crops In this section will bring an average of only about 36 1-2 per cent, this year, according to his estimate. Wheat crops have also been overestimated. It is said that in Southeast Missouri the crop this year will not possibly average more than 70 per cent, and possibly Just 60 per cent.

Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv. EAJHUfiBURG TELEGKAFO Give Opinions as to How To Cut the Cost of Living PATRONS of the Telegraph have taken up the movement against the high cost of living, and arc coming forward with suggestions as to how they think the prices should be slashed downward. Various methods are suggested, although the cold storage house, the middleman and the profiteer would be guillo tined if the readers had their way. Here are some of the letters that have been received during the past few days: All For Pleasure Maytown, Pa. To the Editor of the Telegraph : In one column you praise the President for vetoing the daylight saving bill, while in another you de mand the reason for high prices, agricultural prices in particular. You favor the bill in order to have time for more pleasure going. Every excursion and all pleasure meetings being one hour earlier. If farm people wish to go they must abide by time set by city people. One hour counts a lot some days on the farm. Vegetables, fruits and grains must be gathered when just right or there is sure to be waste and added expense. Rest and work are more impor tant than pleasure. Most farmers arise about 4 o'clock in order to get tho needful work through by sundown. How can he work an hour earlier and retire one hour before dark with our boys and girls in towns and cities seeking the so called "needful pleasures?" A farmer cannot get men to work on the farm after the shop whistles blow. And can he expect his own boys (if he is fortunate enough to them) to work on when they see the hired man quit? They are only human and get restless. And with so much time before dark they are spending more evenings in towns and cities; get home late; are not rested for the next day's labor. Con sequently work lags, and farmers are worried to the point of leaving the farm altogether. This might seem a little thing to city people whose work is so different. But farming is a business as much as printing a paper or any other city business. And if the workers put no life or interest in their work it cannot suc ceed. Farmers must depend on young men for help and when they all are bent on pleasure seeking it is impossible for him to produce at a low cost, and be able to meet ex penses which have more than doubled since 1914. I hear people say: Oh! the farmers are getting rich buying autos, etc. Lots of those autos are not paid cash, and are finally paid at the sacrifice of many other necessities. Why do city people take delight in buying high-priaed clothing and expect to get food (the most needful) at or below cost of production? Then when labor, clothing, repairs, news papers and everything a farmer buys has advanced, how can he continue business if he does not have an ad vance also? It seems unreasonable for city people to abuse the farm er whom they must depend on for their very living. It is biting the hand that feeds one. The main rea son for daylight saving seems to be for pleasure.

To the Editor of the Telegraph: No doubt the prevailing high i prices of living are unnecessarily i high and the effective remedy to j prevent it is a problem for us to-day. j The farmer no longer loads up his i ' marketing on his wagon or truck I and goes to the market of his choice I and sells his produce for whatever he can get as in former days. That I does not appear to be the method of that line of business to-day, for there is some one who tells him what he must ask for his produce, and the farmer is not allowed to deviate from that price. Rather than ! do so he must take a chance of los- i ing his products especially if they be of a perishable kind. It is unfair to the sellcv and buyer to have middle men tome in and dictate what the produce must sell for. To prevent this unfair method of sell ing let the buyers agree among themselves that they will not pay above a certain price for articles they do not have to buy. If some of our housekeepers, ladies of power and influence in the community, were to head a movement in that | direction there would be no trouble ! in getting a following that would j be respected and bring about the de- | sired results.

Wants Perotlical Reports Harrisburg, July 23. To the Editor of the Telegraph : Everybody's doing it —kicking on j the high cost of the necessary pro- | vender that goes to fill the never stay-filled market basket. The lay- i man is protesting so vigorously and so constantly that, if the question is j not soon settled in a manner that is ] satisfactory to the consumer, we may t see howling mobs mad with hunger! a hundred times more destructive than the mobs that wrecked ven geance in various European cities. Then thero is the man who pre sumes to "know" the situation, ac cusing the other fellow with flagrant profiteering to help some canning in dustry or sonic combination of wholesale houses, all of which is confusing to the lay mind. We also are told that in tho various cold storage plants throughout the coun try there are hundreds of millions of pounds of food being held, pre sumably for speculative purposes, certainly not for the benefit of tho consumer. We would suggest that if the dif ferent cities of the country erect and manage cold storage houses it would be a big step in the solution of this vital question. Corporations build big cold storage plants and pay handsome dividends on the invest ment, and if they can do that there is not a municipality in the land that could not do equally as well. It would give the trucker, fruit grower and poultry man a chance to dispose of his stock without it yielding an enormous profit to the middleman. Laws could he framed to require weekly or semi-monthly reports of amount in storage and the length of time It would be allowed to re main there, thus insuring the con sumer fresh, wholesome food at all times and at a nominal cost. Wc do not think we arc mistaken when we say that the trend of the times points very strongly to this very idea as the only solution for the protec tion of the health and care of our ever increasing population.

A law of this kind could certainly bo enforced, as It would be similar to the commodities law. com pelling manufacturers and others to specify the weight, count or measure of package goods. The forestaller or middleman is nothing more than a leech or barn acle; they don't produce anything whatever: they simply live off the rest of the people. They should be put out of business forever; their occupation is positively non-essen tial. The way society is constituted at the present time, there are, nt a rough guess, fifty per cent, of the able bodied people not producing anything but a bank account, so that means, that the other fifty por cent, must produce twice as much as they themselves need, in order to provide for the drones or nonproducers.
