EGGS AND POULTRY 
SO MANY ELEMENTS enter into the ship¬ 
ping of day-old chicks and eggs by our ad¬ 
vertisers, and the hatching of same by our 
subscribers that the publishers of this paper 
cannot guarantee the safe arrival of day- 
old chicks, or that eggs shipped shall reach the 
buyer unbroken, nor can they guarantee the 
hatching of eggs. We shall continue to ex¬ 
orcise the greatest care in allowing poultry 
and egg advertisers to use this paper, but 
our responsibility must end with that. ,

A Service for Veterans 
W E all start in life meaning to be 
successful. It is hard to imagine 
a young boy just tackling the problem 
of finding his place in the world delib¬ 
erately expecting to become a public 
charge, or to be taken care of by 
relatives. 
Several insurance companies have 
collected some statistics which are very 
interesting, and which show that the 
opportunity for success does not come 
to all alike. Of 100 men starting out 
in life at the age of 25 years, one at 
the end of 40 years will be wealthy, 
four will have incomes, five will have 
earning power, 36 will be dead and 54, 
or more than half, will be dependent on 
their relatives or charity. 
It is the U. S. Veterans’ Bureau 
which especially calls to our attention 
the striking figures just quoted. This 
Bureau extends to veterans with a rec¬ 
ord of service to the government an 
insurance which all too many have dis¬ 
regarded. During the war. Congress 
passed a piece of progressive legisla¬ 
tion which had no parallel in our prev¬ 
ious history. The idea—to insure un¬ 
der the most liberal terms those who 
served in government forces—was one 
which carried great benefit not only 
to the men themselves, but to their 
families and dependents. Yet a great 
number of veterans have overlooked 
the opportunity which this bill gives 
them to protect thbmselves and their 
families, and it is for this reason that 
the Veterans’ Bureau is making an ef¬ 
fort to line up the delinquents and help 
them to their duty to themselves and 
families. 
Very Liberal Renewal Terms 
Policies will be renewed if they have 
been allowed to lapse, or new ones will 
be issued on extremely liberal terms. 
Premiums are charged at rates lower 
than any other insurance which gives 
the same benefits. The premiums may 
be arranged for endownment policies 
paid during the lifetime of the individ¬ 
ual or for policies made out to the 
benefit of relatives after death. 
There are six different sorts of poli¬ 
cies, and they all contain such liberal 
features as the allowance of 31 days 
for the payment of premiums without 
interest; application of premium divi¬ 
dends earned to the principle; no obli¬ 
gations of residence or occupation, and , 
so forth. . i. 
Although Americans are apt to be 
extremely careful in looking out for 
their property, they are not nearly so 
careful in looking out for themselves. 
A man is far more apt to insure his 
building against fire than to insure his 
own life for the benefit of those de¬ 
pendent on it. Perhaps this is due to 
the natural human feeling that some¬ 
thing will happen to the other fellow, 
but that we ourselves are immune. At 
any rate, when the table showing what 
happens to the 100 men is compared 
with the fire risks there is an interest¬ 
ing contrast. Fifty-four out of 100 men 
would at the end of 40 years be de¬ 
pendent on outside help. Yet, out of 
1,260 homes insured, 1,210 will be 
standing intact at the end of 50 years. 
In other words, only 50 houses out of 
1,260 will be destroyed and the insur¬ 
ance collected, whereas more than 50 
men out of 100 will be in need of finan¬ 
cial assistance. 
How to Become Reinstated 
American Agriculturist is therefore 
very glad to join the government au¬ 
thorities in urging veterans of the 
World War to avail themselves of the 
insurance thus extended to them. All 
those who have not taken out the poli¬ 
cies to which they are entitled are 
urged to write to the U. S. Veterans’ 
Bureau at Washington, D. C. The ap¬ 
plication need only say, “Please for¬ 
ward information relative to the rein¬ 
statement of my insurance.” Sign it, 
giving your name and address in full, 
certificate number and serial number of, 
your insurance if you carry any, and 
your rank and regiment at the time of 
your discharge. State also whether you 
are now incapacitated. 
A USELESS BOOK RETUBNED 
Mrs. F. J. F. of New Jersey, was 
unable sometime ago, to resist the 
blandishments of a salesman with a 
medical book. She agreed to take it 
finally, although at first she refused to 
take it as she had one along the same 
line. His assurance that they would 
guarantee the return of her money 
finally convinced her. Mrs. F. soon 
found the book quite useless to her. She 
wrote the company, but was told that 
she would have to allow a year to elapse 
before she could claim any refund. As 
she has the support of four small child¬ 
ren on her hands, she felt that she 
would like to have the $8.75 at once. 
The company at the solicitation of 
the American Agriculturist, agreed to 
waive their usual requirements and at 
once sent her the money order for the 
full amount. Mrs. F. who had pre¬ 
viously written us that the American 
Agriculturist was extremely valuable, 
sent in her renewal of her subscription 
and expressed her gratitude and appre¬ 
ciation. _ 
SPECULATION AT THEIR BEST 
Financial Department:—Would you con¬ 
sider the 0. L, Chester Productions, office m 
the Candler Building on 42d St., New York 
City a good investment for two thousand dol¬ 
lars? The Chester Production is to be en¬ 
larged and merged with a new concern to be 
known as the Wheelers’ Corporation of Anaerica, 
This new concern is issuing notes or bonds, 
bearing 8% interest payable May 1 and Novem¬ 
ber 1, in denominations of $500 and $1,000. 
W. L., New Jersey. 
We do not recommend this invest¬ 
ment. The motion picture business at 
its best is very uncertain. We have 
been unable to get a financial statement 
from the company. You would do much 
better if you considered good public 
utilities. __ 
LEAVE THIS KIND ALONE 
Financial Department:—Do you believe it is 
safe to put a share in the United Stores of 
Pennsylvania?—Mrs. F. H., Pennsylvania. 
We have no record of this company. 
A r6ceiver was appointed for the United 
Auto Stores in February 1922. We are 
informed the company is about to be 
reorganized- Better leave all such pro- 
positions alone.
