INSURANCE ON PENSIONS.
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.—

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. Con
serving our foodstuffs is the most im
portant question confronting us at the
present time, and this article is in
tended to further the great campaign
which has been under way for some
time. Be sure to read it.

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.
