killing two of the parties. These are

Sioux City Journal, 19: Miss Cora
Midkiff, who has been visiting for
several days with Mrs. L. R. Kcckler,
departed yesterday for her home in
Homer, Neb. .. .Solidarity of Ameri
can men and women in backing the
boys fighting in France is the straw
that broke Germany's back, declared
Frank B. Buckwalter, who returned
yesterday to Sioux City after' oveiv
seas duty as an attache of the dis
bursing division -at Paris. When the
high military command and the na
tional political leaders realized the
unanimity of sentiment in the Unit
ed States, Germany was then whip
ped, said Capt. Buckwalter. That
the Lloyd George government will
fall within sixty days after the sign
ing Of the treaty of peace, as tho re
sult of the discontent and unrest of
the laboring classes in England, is
predicted by Capt. Buskwalter. "Tho
general situation in England is one
causing the government grave con
cern, especially on account of labor
discontent, which appears to be
widespread," said Capt. Buckwalter.
"In addition thero is the ever pres
ent Irish question, which is now as
far from solution as it has ever been.
I visited in Ireland for a short time.
"The large landed proprietors of En
gland seem to read the handwriting
on the wall, for largo numbers of
estates are being sold to small farm
ers. Tho United States is stronger
than any nation on earth because
such a largo proportion of tho people
here own their homes. When men
own their homes Ihoy do not turn to
bolshevism. Labor conditions in
Franco are threatening. In both
England and Franco there is a whole
some fear of anarchy or revolt.
Thero will not bo any more fighting
even if Germany does not sign the
proposed treaty of peace. Germany
is through fighting for now," contin
ued Capt. Buckwalter. "If Germany
refuses to sign the peace pact tho
allies can apply restrictions that will
eventually compel the German peo
ple to seek any pence available. If
Germany is permitted to resume her
commercial relations with the" world
and to rebuild her industries in cer
tain measures she can easily pay
$25,000,000,000 of Indemnity within a
short series of years. If Germany's
military organization is kept at a
minimum Germany may again become
powerful in commerce without dan
ger to the allies. My army duties
calldd mo into German territroy.
The German people do not seem to
realize that Germany as a nation
was wrong in the war nor do they ap
pear to entertain any sentiment of
intended retaliation in the future.
A friendly spirit is" shown to the
troops in the American occupied ter
ritory. I saw ninny more children
in Germany than I did in France.
That has its significance. After
crossing the German lino you find
little to remind one of the wnr, save
the pnper shoes in tho store windows
and the possible pinched faces of the
children. There seemed to be food
in tho localities I visited and it was
not hard to get it. That the food
supplies do not contain the nourish
ing elements necessary for normal
physical health was shown by the
very aged peoplo and the younger
children. They show the lack of
proper nourishment, which was with
stood by tho middle aged people. It
is difficult to tell what tho French
and English people really think about
the league of nations. They still
prefer apparently a treaty upon the
diplomatic basis of international re
lations, Selfish politicnl interests
appear to have their Influence, Tho
American Eoldiera thought tho atti
i
tude of the French people was not so
cordial after the signing of the arm
istice as it was before that. That is
a fact. Our boys are exceedingly
anxious to get home and the authori
ties are now making every effort to
move them in largo numbers. They
would be willing to stay if patriotic
duty demanded, but they feel that
the war is over and they don't want
to mark time. A peculiarity of a
bunch of soldiers Is that if they do
not kick there is something wrong.
They complain of small things and
little injustices that can not entirely
be avoided in a big affair liko this
world war. France and -England
right now are jealous of the commer
cial power of the United State's. Tho
war embargoes of both nations aro
still in effect against our manufac
turers. However, I do not antici
pate thcr will bo any serious disa
greement ,among the allied nations
for a number of. years to come."
.When asked what was hc best thing
lie had seen on his trip and what had
impressed him most, Capt. Buckwal
ter replied: "The land between Omft
hu and Sioux City on both sides of
the Missouri river when I came upon
the train this morning." Before go
ing overseas in October of 1918, Capt.
Buckwalter was chief purchasing of
ficer in the Eleventh army zone, sta
tioned at Omaha.
Jlonie Demonstration Notes

Home Demonstration Agent
On Thursday afternoon, April 21th,
a meeting will be held at tho homo
of Mrs. Elmer Blessing at which
time tho project on "Household
pests and their control" will be in
itiated. Tho same work will bo giv
en at n meeting in Emerson on Fri
day afternoon, April 25th. Miss Lu
cado, homo demonstration ngent of
Thurston county, will bo present at
this meeting. She will discuss
women's club work, and boys' and
girls' club work. Plans are being
made for a permnnont organization
at tliis time. Those interested are
urged to be present.
The following boys ant) girls have
enrolled in the "Chicken Raising
I Project":
Donald Hartnett, Josephine Kennel
ly, Aquin Hall, Hannti Anderson, Em-
'niott Flynn, Clement Hartnett, Wil
liam Anderson, Stanley Hanson, Leon-
lard Waters, Beatrice Boyle, Mary
Mongar and Edward Bletli.
Oirlhursdriy afternoon Mr. Ormond,
a government field specialist, held u
meeting at Mr. S. A. Mason's home.
Mr. Ormond discussed the methods
of handling bees, equipment neces
sary nnd diseases.
This pnrt of the country is espec
ially well adapted for bees because
of the bountiful supply of nectar.
Tho price received for honey more
than justifies tho labor of the bee
keeper. The war caused an increas
ed demand for honey but this de
mand has not ceased, for many peo
plo aro eating honey now who were
not familiar witli its delicious qual
ities and they will not forget how
good it is. Finns aro being mndo
for the organization of a boys' bee
club.
During this month everything
along poultry raising should bo hum
ming. Just now poultry raisers are
dealing in futures, and your future
depends on your good work now.
Don't fuss; just let tho chicks have
plenty of liberty and keep their
quarters clean. Standard bred chicks
can rough it as well as mongrels
even better. To thosu who aro rais
ing standard bred chicks wo advise
do not handicap them by unnatural
restrictions. Let them hustlo around.
This tends to "bettor poultry" and to
"bigger profits."

, WAR RISK INSURANCE
Koine of the Vital questions Com'orit
Ins; Comorslou of I'olleles, Eto.,
Trout i'il by Ninj Officer.
The matter of conversion of tho
present War Risk insurance is of ut
most importance. Tho date for tho
beginning of conversion lins not yet
been set, but as soon as tho Presi
dent oiricially declares peace or con
gress passes a special act authoriz
ing conversion, it will be possible
for all persons who aro carrying gov
ernment insurance to convert it into
tho new types of policies. It is ex
pected that the date for the begin
ning of conversion will bo about June
1st or perhaps earlier.
In order to bo able to convert the
War Risk insurance, it is necessary
to keep up the payments on tho pres
ent insurance. These payments
should be mndc each month by certi
fied check or money order made pay
able to the Treasurer of the United
States, and forwarded to the Disburs
ing Clerk, Bureau of War Risk In
surance, Washington, D. C. If the
payments ue not made within the
month 1 insurance automatically
lapses, n.' it may Do re-lnstatcu up
on paym nt of back premiums, pro
vided the individual can show evi
dence of insurability. Tho certifi
cate of any reputable physician will
be accented as ovidenco of insurabil
ity. Tho insurance may bo re-instated
nt nny time within six months,
but after that it is lost entiroly.
It is not neccssnry to convert the
insurance immediately but it is ad
visable to convert; as quickly as prac
ticable, in ordor to take advantage
of tho lowest possiblo premium. The
insured has five years in which to
convert, and he must not exceed thnt
period of tlmo if he wishes to retain
his insurance It is not noccssary
to convert tho insurance fnto nnv
one particular policy. Tho insured
may enrry his insurnnco in several
different types of policies if ho wish
es, and ho may convert into tlieso
policies at different times, nnd in
any amount 'from $1,000 on, in mul
tiples of $500, tho only requirement
being thnt ho must convert during
tho period of five years, If tho in
sured elects to wait a yoar or two
before converting his insurance, ho
will simply continue to innko thp
premium payments ns ho is nt pres
ent until such time as ho feels he
can convert.
The government is going to con
tinue to carry tho insurance after it
is converted. The cost of carrying
tho insurance will bo borno by tho
government and for that reason the
rntes on theso policies will bo con
siderably lower 'thnn regular llfo in
suranco companies grnnting similar
policies. Tho promium on tho new
policies will always remain tho same,
there being no increase from eyar to
year as on tho present form of insur
ance. Tho governmnet is offering six
types of policies: Ordinary life;
20 payment life; 30 payment llfo;
20 year endowment; 30 year endow
ment; and an endowment policy
which matures at tho ago of G2.
These 'policies are similnr to policies
of tho samo typo issued by regular
life insurance companies.
Tho premiums on theso policies
may bo paid monthly, quarterly, half
yearly or yearly, as desired, and tho
insured may chnngo from ono meth
od of payment to another at any
lime no cnooses to do so. if paid
monthly, tho premium will bo duo on
tho first day of the month, but mny
be paid any time during the month.
Policies may bo reduced at any
time, but not increased,
Thero will bo no medical examina
tion required when converting to tho
new forms of ipoliclos.
Thero is no restiiction ns to occu
pation, residence or travel.
Tho proceeds of all policies are
non-tnxnble. The insurnnco is un
assignable and free from tho claims
of creditors.
Dividends will bo paid on theso
policies annually. These dividends
may bo taken in casli or deducted
from tho pre um, or may be left
with tho gr mient to nccumulnto
nt compounu .nterest.
