Life Insurance.
Someone has said that the state of
a man's civilization may be accurate
ly judged by the foresight he dis
plays. Insurance is an index to fore
sight; it means looking into the fu
ture, the consideration of probable
risks, and providing against such
risks.
North Carolina people, as a rule,
believe in insurance. Look at 1 the
lighting rods on the homes and even
the barns,- insurance against light
ning. Now there, are, only ten or
twelve deaths a year in North Caro
lina from lighting, so that an individ
ual's chance of being killed in North
Carolina eaeh year is one in two hun
dred' andf ortythoJusaha ."Consider -ing
the slight risk and the expense of
lighting rod insurance, the man who
uses them isa powerfully strong be
liever in insurance.
The trouble with out people in the
insurance business is their failure to
recognize relative values and " risks.
By that we mean the size of the risk
on the one hand, and the amount paid
for the insurance on the other hand.
To illustrate, let us return to the
homewith the lighting ' rods; cost,
$100 : risk to life, one in two hundred
and forty thousand a year. The
same country home has the most
primitive, insanitary, open back closet
from which droves of flies carry in
fectious material into the dining room
and kitchen during the whole sum
mer,' Cost to make closet sanitary,
$10. Now this man's danger is one
in 480 of contracting, typhoid fever,
and one in 4,800 of dying from the
disease during the year. If he has
fi've members in his family, the risk
is five times greater, and if he con
siders the risk of contracting other
fecal-borne diseases, dysentery and
diarrheal diseases of children, he
must multiply the risk again by three.
The man has no sense of relative
values the man with the good light
ing rods and the bad privy.
Typhoid vaccination is the cheapest
insurance that a man can get. It
costs him absolutely nothing, ..his
county and state are paying for it; in
other words, he has paid for it al
ready in paying for his taxes. It
gives him almost absolute insurance
against typhoid fever, regardless of
his surroundings, for four years and
some insurance againfet typhoid fever
for his whole life time. And suppose
he doesn't take it and within the next
four years somebody hauls him, or
hauls his child to the cemetery: dead
of typhoid fever, a death that . he
could have easily prevented by be-in"-
vaccinated, free vaccination, too.
What about' the question of moral re
snonsibility ? "Thou shalt not kill,
it
the first great civil law, covers both
homicide and suicide; includes killing
ycur neighbor, killing a member of
ycur family, or killing yourself by an
act of commission, using a gun or a
knife or a stick, or an act of omission,

Musical Program
At Chautauqua
. Music lovers are promised a rare
treat at the Community Chautauqua
this year, for every .variety of musical
entertainment is included on its piu
gram. , The opening night attraction
is the famous Del Mar Ladies Quar
tet and Singing Orchestra which with
its original, attractive costumes and
artistic setting forms a musical at
traction of universal appeal. As each
of these four artists is a specialist in
her own particular line, the enter
tainment is of an unusual kind pre
sented in an unusual way. The va
riety of the program is the greatest
charm, for everything from light,
popular melodies to the standard clas
sical selections that cannot be heard
too often is included. These clever
artists sing as well as they play, and
in addition give clever recitations and
readings. It's just an )ld-fashioned
son fest of the choicest kind that is
designed to inelude everybody's fav
orite melodies.
Music Illustrated and Explainded
Entirely different in its appeal is
the program' offered by the Misses
Keller Recital Company, for these two
talented artists are presenting a pro
gram of typically American music.
They believe that our country" pos
sesses as fine talefit as any European,
and it is to-encourage the develop
ment of native talent that their work
is designed.' They present the finest
of American compositions, including
some of Miss Luella Keller's own
work that has won the approval of
the highest American critics. In ad
dition to their charming rendition of
new and unusual compositions, Miss
Keller gives a brief lecture that will
be appreciated by every . lover of
music who has not the time to devote
to lengthy study. . Every one who has
heard a piece of music and wondered
what it was, what it meant, and why
it was so appealing, wilT be glad to
hear this simple inspiring talk on the
language of music, which gives suf
ficient background for the apprecia
tion of the greatest compositions.
Indian Musicians an Unusual Feature
The most striking feature of the
musical program is the great Haskell
Indian Orchestrial Band, which is
made up the representatives of twelve
different Indian tribes. The perform
ers are under the protection of the
United States Government, which has
given its sanction to the tour in order
that the general public may know the
pr ogress' ourv Red Brother is making.
This "is - the first public tour this re
markable organization has made since
its spectacular appearance at the St.
Louis Exposition, when it was one of
the biggest sensations of the season.
Native Indian songs and dances will
be presented by some of the' mem
bers in the full costumes of . their
tribes; costumes which have been
handed down from generation to gen
eration for hundreds of years. Prom
inent among, the performers is Jorm
La Mere, who with a company of
dancers presents the famous Indian
Sun Dance, the great war dance, and
the tribal ceremonies. The soloist of
this group is the famous Cherokee
Soprano, Sarsa Carey, the talented

ing troops overseas and exceeds the
number Great Britain moved across

STATEMENT BY P. M.
GENERAL BURLESON
' Washington, June 11. Declaring
the strike of wire employes, which be
gan today, was "wholly without jus
tification," Postmaster General -Burleson
said in a statement today , that
"no amount of pressure will avail to
makqe the wire control board extend
or go beyond rules and regulations
affecting employes laid down during
the war by the National War Labor
Board."
Mr. Burleson said his information
was that the telegraphic traffic had
not and would not be delayed. Gov-
ernment business, which .makes up the
bulk of that handled by the telegraph
companies here, was reported moving
as usual today, and at the State De
partment it was said that had been
no interruption of .'cable communica
tion with Europe.
REACH NEWPORT NEWS
Newport News, Va., June 11. The
318 field artillery, the last of the
brigade of Wild Cat gunners, arrived
here this afternoon- on the transport
Siboney, juest eight days after they
sailed from Brest for America. The
regiment was in command of ' Col.
Sharp, who relieved Col. C. B. Robin
son, as. commanding 'office a short
tim" "ago. " ' "
" Almost fifty per cent of the regi
ment's personnel was composed of
men from Tennessee, while the other
half was made up of fighters from the
two Carolinas." In the ranks of the
regiment were a small number of re
placements, who did not sail with the
organization when it let New York
last summer, but they took the "place
of men who had been taken away on
account of illness or for other rea
sons, because the regiment did not
see active fighting.
SEVERITY OF THE TERMS
HAS NOT BEEN LESSENED
Hope again is expressed' in Paris
that the reply of the allied and asso
ciated governments to the German
counter proposals to the demands
made in the peace treaty sooffwill be
in readiness for presentation to the
Germans. Friday again is mention
ed as the probable day.

Germany the mandate over her form

1 Premier Clemenceau of France, who

main changes are explanations, rath
