Reasonable Regulation Only
Jesse S. 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-

said:

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

able cost,

purchase any other necessity of life
\ at a loss to the seller.
“Reasonable regulation is a need-
ed governmental function only so
long as it is.wisely exercised and
fairly administered. There is, how-

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.

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. Lancaster County |
| delegates, already numbering |
| to 100, are planning to organize |
for the purpose of learning songs!
and yells, choosing regalia for the |
great parade, and arranging other |
details that are sure to arise. El-
wood H. Baer, of New Holland, |
Lancaster County Registrar, is in!

T WAS a cardinal article of faith
up and down Duck river that
things would happen to a Claiborne as
sure as he was born, It had been so
from the beginning—witness the voy-
age of Gilliard, the earliest couier
across the mountains from Carolinn
He had loaded a flatboat for New
Oreans with the yield of his own fat,
fresh land, sold out the second day
after his journey ended for what
seemed a fabulous price, then, going
from the market, had met and fallen
deep in love with Rosa Damosel—
whom he married three days later.
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,

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.

PUBLICATION POPULAR
In no other agricultural subject |
has so much interest been manjfest-
ed—according to requests received |
during a year for bulletins publish- |
ed by the Department of Agricul- |
ture—than in the control of lice!
and mites of poultry. 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.

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.
