The government is taking up a question of the most far reaching im portance relating to the care and pro tection of soldiers of the present war Plans are being developed that will be submitted to congress by the ad ministration proposing to abolish the system of pensions for wounded sol diers and surviving kin and to substi tute in place thereof, a plan of cas ualty insurance. Last week there was an important conference held in Washington to which were invited the leading life in surance men of the country. Nebras ka was represented at this conference by President W. C. Wilson of the Bankers Life. Tentative proposals were discussed at his meeting. Secre tary of the Treasury McAdoo pro posing that congress shall specify be fore American soldiers are sent into battle the death inury benefits that shall be paid by the nation. It is proposed to make direct com pensation in a considerable sum through life insurance rather than hav ing a pension system with a small pit tance monthly in vogue for many years after the war. Two questions were raised in this connection. One a plan that provided that the government should insure its soldiers against death and injury with the insurance com pany, the companies to accept the business at the high rates which will be charged for war insurance. The other provision was that the govern ment should undertake the whole ob ligation congress appropriating funds to cover the death and injury benefits. It was plain in the discussion of the questions, that the administraion is opposed to continuing the present pen aiuu ovMcui iiuiiiig aim alter mis war. I It is contended that the toal cost to the government would be much less through direct benefits than under the present pension system. Insurance pro posed was for a sum to be fixed not less than $1,500 of insuring a soldier against death or total disability, and the maximum compensation of $5,000 for the death of or total disability of an officer was also proposed. It is probable that the insurance that would be given soldiers would be between this minimum and maximum. Under the plan presented, a soldier's widow would receive direct insurance money of not less than $1,500 whereas under the pension plan, a Civil war soldier's widow was granted $12.00 a month. Of course this question when it goes to congress will attract nation-wide attention and will be discussed in all its phases so that when a decision is reached, it will be a decision coming from the approval of both congress and a majority of the people interested.— The Trade Review. MARKETING HOGS. Beats burying them. Steve Hoover. Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, writes, “Commenc ed feeding my berd of about 100 hogs B. A. Thomas’ Hog Powder over two months ago.

CURBING THE WASTE. Just now the housewives of the country are being deluged with advice and warnings as to waste in the kit chens. In nine families out of every ten the advice is entirely superfluous, from the fact that prices and pocket books fail to harmonize. Economy was the first lesson learned by the women when the present era of high prices opened. There is practically no waste in the average American home. The waste and extravagance in this country is in the hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc., and in the mansions of the idle rich. Intelligent economy will nev er be practiced in these places so long as people persist in from six to ten course meals, of which but a small fraction is actually consumed, the resi due going either to “second hand” resorts or to the swill barrel. No sys tem of food economy can be successful that permits waste of products for no other reason than that the waster has the price. SHORTAGE IN CORN RESERVE. Nebraska. Iowa. Illinois. Indiana and Ohio, the five largest corn-producing states, have reserve stocks of corn of only 357,000.000 bushels as against a nine year average of 467,000.000 bush els, according to figurts made pdblic by Herbert Hoover at Washington. Ne braska is the only state with a larger reserve than usual, the excess in this case being only 4 per cent, while the other states are materially short. VALUABLE POINTERS ON CAN NING. Attention of the housewives of Loup City and vicinity is called to an article in this issue of the Northwest ern showing the various methods and processes of canning fruits and vege tables, prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. This article will undoubtedly be of decided value to everyone who contemplates this form of conserving food products.

A LONG WAR. Those who imagine the war will end soon by reason of German's shortage of men are due to receive a jolt in an estimate of German casualties recent ly made public in London. According to this report. Germany has lost in killed since the beginning of the war. in round numbers, 1,500.000 men. Add to these 500.000 taken prisoners and an equal number disabled by wounds, and we have a total German casualty list of 2.000.000. According to the most reliable es timates obtainable. Germany has on the various fronts a total of from 10. 000.000 to 12.000.000 men. To these may be added through the natural growth of the population at least 750. 000 soldiers yearly. By which it may be seen that at no time since the be ginning of hostilities has Germany been stronger in man power than at present One of the most fatal errors that one can make is to under-estimate the strength of a foe. That is one error this government is not making, and it explains the deep and thorough pre paration that is being made for the conflict before us. ELIMINATING GRAIN SPECULA TION. It looks as though the Chicago board of trade has decided to eliminate large ly speculation in food commodities during the war period. On Wednesday of this week, the Chicago board of trade fixed a maximum price of $1.2S per bushel for December and May deliveries in corn, and this would ap pear to practically terminate grain speculation. A maximum price such as this on the board of trade would put a bar against speculating in futures, limit ing buying for future delivery to a fixed price. This would not affect the cash buying and selling figure that would be governed by immediate de mands, but it would do away with speculative advances- that find their worst feature in the fact that grain products such as flour, are advanced from time to time as the speculative price advances without any real found ation for the higher prices. Some time since, the Chicago board of trade put on restrictions in wheat by placing a maximum figure. The re sult of this was salutary for almost immediately unnaturally high prices for wheat were eliminated and the stopping of dealing in wheat futures caused a recession in the price of wheat in some instances to nearly a dollar a bushel. This brought a change in flour prices, and everywhere made a more stable price for wheat on a more legitimate basis. When the spec ulators were denied speculation in wheat, they turned to corn and* corn prices have been kiting on the Chi cago board of trade beyond any rea sonable limits. With this organization now fixing a maximum price on futures corn prices will do the same as wheat prices did—recede to a more fixed and normal basis and there will be a stead iness in the market that will do much toward making fixed and stable price conditions.
