Phillips, President of the Great American Indemnity Com- pany, in a recent address, pointed out the close relationship that ex- ists between credit and fhsurance, | in their assistance in the develop- ment of industrial activities, and said: “The 1 ever-increasing tendency for governmental authorities and legislatures to impose burdensome and unnecessary restrictions upon the activities of insurance carriers js worty of earnest consideration. Insurance men generally find no fault with needful, whole- some, carefully thought out statu- tory or departmental regulations respecting their business. They re- cognize that the insurance business, like other necessary public utilities, should be subjected to reasonable state regulation. Such, insurance protection at equitable and reason- able cost, “That cost, however, must be su- ficiently adequate to enable the in- surer to properly conduct his busi- ness, to pay his obligations, and to - earn a reasonable underwriting i profit.

There is, how- ever, in altogether too many quart- ers, a growing tendency on the part of state and governmental bureaus e and officials to substitute and en- force their judgment for that of DROUGHT OCCURS to Thomas, | WEATHER BUREAU RECORDS SHOW WHERE During the period of crop growth there is seldom a time when more or less drought does not exist in some portion of the eountry. Im- proved methods of tillage and in- crease in the amount of vegetable matter in the soil tend to retain considerable moisture that would otherwise be evaporated, or lost through seepage, thus affording a partial supply when rainfall is de- ficient. The amount of moisture conversable in this way, however, is limited, and extended drought periods finally exhaust the whole supply. Agricultural losses are in proportion to the time the drought continues or to the actual possibi- lities of damage, which depend largely on the stage of crop devel- opment. The Weather Bureau of the Unit- ed States Department of Agricul- ture states that in the Atlantic coast districts more or less severe droughts occur for a period of 30 days or more from March to Sept- ember in nearly half the years. In the lower Ohio and middle and low- en Mississippi valleys drought is li- able to occur during the same per- |iod in more than half the years. Over much of Texas and the west- i ern Great Plains drought is liable to occur in 70 to 90 per cent of the vears, cr even more. However, this does not ‘indicate that all crops necessarily suffer. The drought may occur too late to injure winter wheat or too early to harm spring wheat, It may come before the corn is susceptible to severe injury or after it has largely matured and it may happen during various stages of cotton growth, when lack of moisture, though retarding growth, encourages fruiting and les- sons insect depredations, The percentage of years with drought during the crop-growing season is lowest! for the entire coun- try in portions of the eastern plains and upper Mississippi Valley, not- ably in much of Missouri and Towa and portions of near-by States. This is on account of the prepond- emance of the yearly precinitation occurring in the late spring and early summer months. Drought vears are only 30 to 40 per cent in this area. AD GIs rere. THE C. E. MEETING AT BETHLEHEM JULY 9 TO 13 Almost 2,000 years ago the Wise Men traveled to Bethlehem to see our Lord. This year history will repeat itself. Multitudes of His Christian Endeavorers will travel to the 13th Bi-ennial Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor State Conven- tion at Bethlehem July 9 to 13. Pennsylvania, long noted for its large Christian Endeavor Conven- tions, plans to break all records this year when thousands will gath- er for what Bethlehem promises will be the greatest convention that the Pennsylvania Union has ever known, Bethlehem, fast becoming known | as one of the best conven- ! tion cities in the country, is making | extensive preparations for the en-! tertaining of the thousands of ex-| pected delegates.

When Gilliard died fifteen years later, leaving Rosa five thousand rich acres, six splendid sons and ready money in both pockets, she carried on just as if he were still there to com- fort and counsel her, To her grief she lived to see the name passing out—Claiborne daugh ters had far, far outgumbered Clai- borne sons in the third generation But she died bappy in the knowl! edge that the fourth Gilliard was the very moral and pattern of the first. His baby girl Rosa received her last blessing—possibly she prof- ited by it to grow up into a raving beauty at seventeen. Then one fine day in walked young Lance Herbert, to say to her father ,and mother that he had married Rosa at the county seat. His father, Presi dent Herbert of the Y, & C. railroad had picked out a girl of quite another sort—not specially bad looking, but loathsomely rich, and stupid beyona expression. Anyway, he had known the minute he met Rosa that here was the only wife for him, No! He hadn't as yet a steady job, nor very much money—none, in fact, if the governor turned rusty. So they went to live with Rosa's family. Lance found himself dis- owned save on the impossible con dition of forsaking his wife. Going doggedly to work as a common miner. in a month he was promoted to gang foreman and better pay. When at last they laid a son in his arms, his first tears fell. Rosa, watching him, understood. He was vowing to make up to their son all his willfulness had cost. She paid for it in utter desolation a year later, when lightning fired the house, killing her father instuntly. stunning her mother, but leaving un- scathed Rosa, Lance and the child. They got out safely—but when Lance rushed back into the hell of flame to save her mother, Rosa followed him, until the baby's cry recalled her, severely burned. Lance was stagger- ing toward her, seared and blinded, but steadfast even to death. He had her mother in his arms. A month later Rosa, deeply scarred, a figure of woe, faced President Her- bert. He said in a hard voice, his eyes greedily upon her son. “You stole my boy—now you will pay foi it with your own. Give him up and he shall have all I meant for his father. You have an invalid mother to support—no strength to work, no beauty left to ensnare another hus- band. I will give you competence for life—and will give your son riches.” It was a frozen woman who laid her child in his arms, kissed it once. and moved away. Years later—fifteen ,to be exact— the Mountain House was interested and mystified in July at the coming of the Gray Lady. “Mrs. Calvert Drury,” her card read. She was neither young nor old, despite snow white hair, was hallmarked unmistak- ably as rich, aristocratic. People waited to see whether she might be a friend of the Herberts. But when they came, a fortnight later, they seemed as strange to everybody else. But the Herberts were in trouble. offered, allowing Delaware County ! to take home the one remaining prize, Whether they can duplicate this feat this year is in doubt but at least a strong attempt will be made.

Sixteen edi- | tions of a bulletin on this subject (amounting to nearly 1,000,000! copies) have been printed. Al-| though these recommendations have | been put into effect very generally | by commercial poultry raisers, with the result tha in intensive poul- try-raising sections there is very little infestation of parasites on! poultry, owners of farm and town flocks continue to lose much money through injury caused by these external parasites. Losses are es- pecially large from head lice on chicks and body lice on grown fowls, but the fact that the treat- ment js simple and certain makes the losses entirely avoidable. Com- mercial sodium fluoride, used in the form of a dust or dip, will com- pletely destroy all kinds of poultry lice and their eggs in one treatment. This material is easy to handle, and if used in accordance with instruc- tions causes no harm in any way to the operator or to the fowls. In using the material as a dip, all that is necessary to insure a fully satis-! factory job is to pick out a warm sunny day and to treat every fowl. ——— i ELECTRIC GROWTH SURPASSES ALL DREAMS According to the Geological Sur- | United States i cent higher than { the home are | yet, from may be accompanied in the future, her as | vey the electrical output of the in 1927 was 9 per in 1926, showing again that demand for electricty power has not reached its maximum but continues the rapid increase of recent years, Farm electrification and use of labor-saving devices in two fields that are here reat 8 performance is Master $1250 UP 118-inch Chassis Coupe =- - - =~ = - $1265 (Rumble Seat $30 extra) Sedan =- = = = = = 1325 Coach = = = = = =- 1250 Roadster = = = = = 1295 127-inch Chassis Standard Sedan - = = $1450 Custom Victoria = = 1650 Custom Landau Sedan 1650 Custom 7-Pass.

BR —"—— GOOD GOVERNMENT UP TO THE PEOPLE If popular government is effec- tive, each stockholder in the public business must be intelligently in- formed. The details and radifica- cations of modern government are too varied to permit each citizen to know how each tax dollar is spent or to judge the effectiveness or in- effectiveness of the methods by which each public function is carri- ed on, without the aid of some or- ganization interpreting agency. Public understanding and sup- port of tax measures is necessary as a check on public affairs. Pub- lic administrators very often fail to ferret out and apply changes in pro- cedure which would contribute to economy and efficiency. Changes in methods are usually impossible without organized activity and de- inand from citizens. Personal interest in, and know- ledge of tax problems, are sentries at the tax exit gate. It is the means by which the public is kept inform- ed on the progress of public busi- ness, Individual interest in the pro- blems of government and taxation will bear fruit a hundred fold in im- proved govermental services to the people.
