HOW INSURE TOWN PROPERTY

(Continued from Page One)

other material that is being called for from different sections. The amount of insurance now in force is nearly $1,000,000 and by the first of the year those in close touch with the situation feel that there will be at least $4,000,000 of insurance in force which will be a remarkable showing for such an institution. The new company will write the farm business that the farm mutuals cannot write and will help them ■with the larger risks. It will also insure town and city dwellings. Since it is under the strict supervision of the Indiana Insurance department and’ has the support and co-operation of the leading mutuals of the state, it is bound to become one of the leading institutions of its kind in the United States.

FRANKLIN’S KITE EXPERIMENT

How the Patriot’s Thrift and Savings Habits Gave All the Value to Hie Study of Lightning. BESIDES being a good printer, a great statesman and an immortal economist Benjamin Franklin was a scientist of the highest rank. His famous kite experiment, by which he first proved the identity ol atmospheric electricity and the static kind generated by rubbing amber with silk, would have been futile and valueless but for one little “kink" that Ben Franklin thought of simply because he had made a fixed habit of saving. He

felt sure that the lightning was only an electric manifestation; but in order to prove it, he knew that he must save some of the current he caught on his kite string. Tb save some of it he attached a common Leyden jar—or tinfoil “condenser” —to the kit string. That enabled him to save enough of the current snatched from the clouds for a decisive test. If he had not thought of saving a little, his experiment would have been only a dangerous and addlepated caper. Saving made It great and famous. The money you earn Is soon lost —■ just like the in the clouds —unless you follow Bern Franklin’s example and provide a sort of Leyden jar or “condenser” to save part of IL WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES and THRIFT STAMPS will serve for your earnings the same useful purpose that Ben Franklin’s bottle and tinfoil served in his kite experiment. If science demands saving how much more does living require it. Remember Ben Franklin’s kite and buy WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

ANARCHY EXPERT DISCUSSES FORD

UNIVERSITY PROFEBBOR CALLED TO POINT OUT “RED** DOCTRINES. WHEN IS MAN AN ANARCHIST? PlalntlfTa Views Are Shown to Be Those of Best Loved American Thinkers and Writers.

"ANARCHISTS.”

Professor Jasse B. Reeves says Henry Ford's doctrine that Humanity is constantly on the upgrade and that while it makes mistakes everything tends toward good, is "A fundamental principle of anarchy." Ford’s counsel reads quotations from Emerson, Whittier, Lowell, Holmes and Abbott, showing that they held the same view. Question: “Were these men anarchists." Witness answers, “No."

Mt. Clemens, Mich.—Who Is an anarchist —and what is anarchy? The Chicago Tribune, which called Henry Ford an anarchist, and was promptly sued for >1,000,000 as a result, Introduced an expert witness on anarchy in the trial now going on in Mt. Clemens, Mich, in an effort to establish definitions of anarchy and anarchists which would convince the jury that there was no libel in the newspaper attack on the manufacturer. Prof. Jesse B. Reeves, head of the department of Political Economy of the University of Michigan, was engaged by The Tribune to support Its contentions by his testimony. Under direct examination by counsei for the Tribune, Professor Reeves declared that the views credited to Mr. Ford by journalists who had interviewed him were Identical with the views held by such well known anarchists as Emma Goldman, Tucker, Proudhon and Tolstoi. The Tribune Introduced as evidence of Henry Ford’s anarchy the following quotations, attributed to him in articles which have appeared in newspapers and magazines:

Fundamentals of Anarchy. "To my mind Humanity may make mistakes, but cannot do anything worse. I think that everything tends toward good. Even this great and bloody war is help- . Ing toward permanent peace." "I think war is largely the result of greed on the part of those who profit by IL” "The moment we get people not to acquiesce in war, refuse to go to war, there will be more war.” These views, Prof. Reeves testified, were found in the works of every anarchist of international reputation and were, in fact, fundamental principles of anarchy. Thereupon counsel for Mr. Ford took the witness. “Professor Reeves”, said counsel, “was Benjamin Franklin an anarchist r "No." "He said, ‘There never was a good war, or a bad peace.’ Was he an anarchist because he said that?” “Certainly not” “Professor, is the idea that Humanity is on the upgrade, as Mr. Ford believes, a fundamental of anarchy?” "Yes, anarchism holds that Humanity is all right, it only needs to be lot alone and it will work out its own salvation-” Were They Anarchists? "Yet this idea was held by Emerson, Whittier, Bnonson, Abbott, William James, John Fiske, Oliver Wendall Holmes and James Russell Lowell. Were they anarchists because they believed this?” . “No.” “Isn’t it true that many wars in the past, not all but a majority, were brought on by the quarrels, greed and avarice of rulers?” “I think many wars have been brought on, I think this war was.” "Do you agree that it is very foolish for the people of the countries involved to allow themselves to be slaughtered in such wars?” “As we look back on it now, yes, we would say thaL” “Well, that is precisely the sentiment you call anarchy in Mr. Ford.” Much testimony having been offered to show that Mr. Ford held jobs open for employees who were called into the armed forces of the nation and that he also provided aid for their dependents where the latter were in need, The Tribune, which originally charged that Mr. Ford would not do any of these things, is now attempting to prove that the assistance which he gave was late and was a result of the Tribune’s attack. Checks Produced. Counsel for Mr. Ford has produced stacks of cancelled checks showing that regular monthly allowances were sent out to soldiers’ dependents who applied for aid, beginning as soon as the case could be investigated and the records made, and continuing until the husband returned to work.

NEAREST.

A Southerner in one of the cantonments below tpe Mason and Dixon line, when called up for examination, wax asked:, - “What is your nearest living relative?” “What you mean, ’relative,’ mister?” returned the recruit “Oh, I mean your nearest living kinsfolk.’’ "Wai, that’s my aunt you're talking •bout” Several other questions were answered satisfactorily, when there came: “In case of death or accident, who shall be notified?” "My mother,” immediately came from the selectman. “But you told me just a few minutes ago that your aunt was the nearest living relative that you have,” objected the officer. "You asked me who my nearest living kin was, didn’t you? Wai, that’s Aunt Liz—she lives jest two miles from where I been livin'; mother lives five.”

Harmony.

“It is a mistake to think women In politics will divide the home. ’ Now, I always vote the same ticket as my husband does.” “Do you?” “Certainly. But I tell him first what that ticket is.”

THEIR CLASS.

“Some theorists sny everything in life Is attuned to one key. What keys are the slippery places In life tuned to?” “Why, naturally to see sharp or be flat.”

WHAT REAL THRIFT MEANS.

Some interesting ideas on thrift ar< set forth in the South Bend NewsTimes, which says: “The government through Its campaign to encourage popular savings in Thrift and War Savings stamps, has brought the word ‘thrift’ into commoner usage than ever. One hears it on every hand. Yet how many people who use it realize that thrift is a preliminary process and entirely distinct from saving? “The thrifty person is not the one who puts 25 cents Into a Thrift stamp which should be put into a new pair of shoe laces, or $5 Into a W. S. S. which should be set aside that week for meat “Thrift only paves the way for saving. It considers carefully present needs and future possibilities, and decides what are necessary expenses, setting aside such a partion of the income as will provide for them. It also determines what are unnecessary expenses, and stops the outgo of money for them. “That is not; thrift which neglects either process, nor can there be any security in savings when either is neglected. The essential Item of expenditure, temporarily Ignored, will have to be met finally, probably by taking from the savings what should qever have been put there. The unnecessary expenditure oft repeated means no savings at all. “Thrift holds the scale between the two, and upon the nicety with which a balance is maintained between legitimate expenditure and waste will depend present comfort and future prosperity.”
