Philadelphia, Dec. 28. -Governor Brumbaugh made the first public announcement yesterday that he will stump the state next spring for prohibition. He made the announcement at a luncheon given by Colonel E. T. Murphy, to the Good Fellowship Club in the Hotel Adelphia. The gover nor said recently that he would speak for local option. "I would give this good right hand to see old Pennsylvania 'white' on the map," said the governor at the luncheon. "We will be false to ourselves and to everything in the universe if we do not make ourselves one of the first to uphold the congressional action. I want to see every man come to Harrisburg 'next session pledged definitely to vote for or against the amendment. If any candidate for a seat in the legislature refuses to pledge himself to vote for the amendent then I want you and your friends and the other good people o f the commonwealth to go out and de feat him, wherever he may be. I do not care what his politics, is Republican, Democrat or other wise, if he is not right on this proposition he is not fit to repre sent any part of the state in the legislature. I do not care what I may be engaged in I intend to be in that fight up to my neck. "I want to see Pennsylvania first to ratify the amendment I want to see enough states ratify it to pass it, for we can not offer a drunken democracy to the world. We can not stand for ' rum and fight for the independ ence of the world." Good Cheer for Soldiers' Dependents. It is the desire of the war de partment of the United States that soldier boys, whether in training camps at home or at the front in France, should have the very lx st care possible, and the Red Cross officials are ready to assist in the work. Attention is called to a statement in this pa per by the U. S. Treasury De partment explaining how depend ent wives may secure as much as $15. per month or more during the absence of their husbands in the service. Directors of the poor should take advantage of the provision for those coming under their care. I will furnish statements and blanks to those desiring them. Soldiers' wives should take advantage of this of fer and also urge their husbands to invest in the very low priced life insurance our government is willing to issue to the men of our army. I shall very gladly send blanks and instructions to any persons interested, or put them in touch with their township offieers. Respectfully, W. C. Patterson, McConnellsburg, Pa. Chairman Red Cross Civilian Re lief. A Place for Everything. R. A. Hayne would like to shake hands with every man who keeps his farm tools in sheds.

Hollenshead, Joseph M. Deshong, Roy M. Sipe. Committee. Of Interest to Soldier's Families. To the Officora and Eulisted and drafted Men and Women i f the Uuited States and Their Rela liven: The Secretary of the Treasury, through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, has been charged with the admluistration of the War lnsuiance Law enacted by the Congrebs ai a measure of justice to the men and womeu who have be3n ci'lol to give their live, if need bo, in the service ot their country. I wish to acquaint you with the benefits and privileges which your Government has placed at your disposal. It is essential that you and your families at home should know of your and their rights under this law in or der that full advantage nay te taken of tbem. To care for the wife and chil dreu of the enlisted man during his service, the War Insurance Law compels him to contribute up to one half of his pay for their supprt The Governmect, on application, will generously add to this an allowance of from f 5 to $50 a month, accordiug to tbo size of the family. Moreover, if the enlisted man will make some further provision himself for a dependent parent, brother, sU ter, or grandchild, tbey may be included in the Government allowance. If, as a result of injuries in curredor disease contracted in the line of duty, an officer or en listed man or an Army or Navy nurse should be disabled pro vision is made for compensation of from $30 to $100 a month to bim, and, shall he die, compensa tion of from $20 to $75 a month will be paid to his wife, his child, or his widowed mother. In order, however, fully to pro tect each person and family, Con gresu has made it possible for every soldier, sailor, and nurse to cbtain life and total-disability insurance. This insurance ap plies to injuries received while he or she is in the service or after be or she shall leave it. Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private life insur ance companies prohibitive. It was, therefore, a plain duty and obligation for the Government to assume the risk of insuring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and sailois who are mak ing the supreme sacrifice. Un der this law, every soldier and sailor aud nurse, commissioned and enlisted, and of any age, ha? the right, between now and February 12, 1918, to take out life and total disability insurance up to $10,000 at very low cost, with the Government without medical examination. This right Is purely optional. The soldierB and sailors are not compelled to take insurance, but if tbey de sire to exercise the right, they must do so before the 12th ot February, 1918. Thecust ranges from 63 rents monthly, at the ngeof21, to $120 monthly, at ih-a age of 51, for each $1,000 ol insurance This is a small charge on a man's pay small in proportion to the benefits it may bring. The premiums will be deducted from bis pay, if be desires, thus elim inating trouble on his part. To provide ad quate protection until February 12, 1918, during the period when the soldiers and sailors are learning tte details of this law, the Government auto matically insures each man and wcuian, commissioued or enlist ed in the military service of the United States. It pays the man $25 a month during total perma nent disability; if he dies within 20 years, it, pays the rest of 240 monthly installments of $25 each to bis wifo, or widowed mother. 1 desire to call ,the provisions this just and generous law to the attention of our officers and en listed men aud women so th it r,hey may not be deprived of their lights thrcugh lack o.f knowledge Full infoi matiou may be obtained from the Bureau ot War Risk Insurance of theTreas ury Department, Washington, D 0. I earnestly urge that the of fleers of the Army and Navy give to the men under their command ail possible aid in helping ihetn to understand fully the benefits that this insurance may bring to their families and the small cost at which it may be oblaiurd This h 'ho greatest m ;a-urofif rrouctiDU evcir offa ed lo it j I fighting forces by any nation in the history of the world. It is not charity; it is simply justice to the etilisted men and women and to their loved ones at borne, and each and every one of thern should promptly take the bene fits of this great law. W. G.
