without reproach.
it is a big job they are tackling. It is
not with the best of grace or wisdom to
point with accusing finger at conditions
which are said to exist in a city whose
population has nearly doubled in a few
months. Unless a community is compara-
tively guiltless, allowing for the personal
equation and the impossibility of perfec-
tion, comparisons and criticisms are odious.
Austin has on her own score little com-
plaint to make, if police records for the
past few months are any criterion.
San Antonio’s problem is heroic. Sound
judgment and safe guidance will clean the
city. It has been done in other places and
can be done at San Antonio.
Whether suppression is a scientific solu-
tion is another matter. Persons unat-
tached, driven away from one city, flock
to other cities. Austin policemen are con-
stantly placing persons on trains, telling
them to go “hence." Settled economic
questions, a prosperous population, a well
organized educational system, unafraid to
tackle problems of life, years of training
and study, a well outlined plan of living,
all these might be guide posts to an elimi-
nation of the evils of crime and vice.
Getting rid of an evil in a hurry as a
“war measure” is an entirely different

There are very few vacant store build-

talk about "hard times,” except that some
have felt the pinch of the drouth, and the
people generally are smiling. Those who
have husbands, sons or brothers in the
army naturally are feeling anxious, but
they are the kind that wear neither their
hearts nor their joys or sorrows on their
sleeves. Little new building is being done,
except op state contracts, becauce of the
difficulty of obtaining material and its
high cost, but the city is holding its own.
Many conditions have changed gradually
during the last three years and the people
have accustomed themselves to them, be-
cause all changes have been in the line of

The treasury department announces that
at the close of business on Dec. 20 tire
Bureau of War Risk Insurance had received
applications to the number of 272,122, ag-
gregating ?2,359,402,000 of insurance.
This shows less than one-half of the num-
ber of soldiers called into service under the
first selective draft had applied for insur-
ance at that date, but the others have been
and are making application so rapidly that
it is likely upward of five billion dollars of
insurance will be written within the next
few months. A new record in writing in-
surance has been reached that probably
never again will be equaled.
One of the wisest and most beneficent
laws enacted by the government was that
providing government insurance for the
military and naval forces of the United
States, and it is very evident that the sol-
diers and sailors of the nation appreciate it.
During the month of November nearly
20,000 applications were sent to the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance from Camp Wads-
worth, South Carolina. The applications
from Texas are said to be even greater in
proportion to the number of men in Texas
camps and contonments. Of those sent in
from Camp Wadsworth, 71 per cent were
for the maximum amount of $10,000, 23
per cent for $5000 and only 6 per cent for
lesser sums. In sixteen companies every
single man applied for insurance; in five
units, three of them full companies, every
man applied for the maximum of $10,000.
These figures were announced by the treas-
ury department.
A spirited campaign of education has
been organized and is being conducted to
furnish full and thorough information of
the workings of the law to those coming
under its provisions, says the treasury de-
partment, and it is believed that the great
benefits of this wise and humane pro-
vision for the soldiers and sailors of the
United States and their dependents will be
availed of by practically all of this coun-
try’s fighting men.

The duty of saving was impressed
strongly upon the English people by the
war savings campaign in the British Isles
in the year 1916. Although the people
had purchased billions of dollars worth of
war bonds, the depositors in small savings
banks increased their deposits more than
$60,000,000. And the Engiish have been
regarded as more inclined to spend than
to save.
Within the last year a similar savings
and investing campaign has been taking
place in the United States. Two great
issues of liberty loan bohds were bought
by the people, apparently with eagemess,
aggregating nearly $6,000,000,000. It might
have been thought that the savings of the
people would be drawn from the banks to
buy the bonds, but this has not been the
case. The savings accounts have increased.
The president of one of the largest savings
banks in New York city, speaking of de-
posits in his bank recently, stated a con-
dition which exists all over the country
when he said: ,
“One of the most remarkable things
about the liberty loan campaigns is the
small effect they have had on the savings
banks accounts, which show an increase.
This we lay to the appeals made to the

to the preparation of tha soil for
the next year’* crop and to the ne-
cessity for the production of large
yields of food and feed crops dur-

will receive special attention.
In announcing these meetings,
Fred W. Davis, commissioner of ag-
riculture, say*: "We have won the
fight for 30-cent cotton. By the
same means we can set 35 cents.
The stronger and more united the
surer the victory. Every farmer
