And tmore often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and, makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business.. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business. Let us do your printing and help you to make that ten strike. The J. S. DellingerCo. ASTORIA, OREGON DECK AND DOCK HEWS.

MUTUAL IS PLEASED ,ij i, .(": 1. 1 Eegtand Requires No Special Re serve Fund. OPPOSE ACTION OF FRANCE Vice-President of Mutual Life Insurance Company Pleased at the Decision of the English House of Lords. NEW YORK, August 14.-Emory Me Clintock, vice-president of the Mutual Life Iustirnnce Company, aid yesterday that the decision of the House of Lords committee that no special reserve fund should be invested iu England to nioet the liabilities of American mutual insur ance companies in that country was one of the niot comprehensive and able documents ever issued by any govern ment and was In such marked contrast to the policy adopted by the French government that the Mutual's otllcer were more than pleased. Mr. McClintock made public yester day copies of a resolution which was adopted by the Mutual's Board of Trus tees on March 23 last, in which the trustees pledge the company 'To con form its plant and contracts to such provisions of law as may be enacted by the legislature of the State of New York." In speaking of the unwillingness of the Mutual to conform to the French law and to set aside a big reserve fur investment in that country with which to do business exclusively in France Mr. McClintock said that if that system were adopted it would make the Mutual a sort of federated organization. Each country would require a separate organi sation and in each country a separate dividend would be paid. He added: "We have not been able to see how we could do business in that way. I do not say it cannot be done; we simply have not got that far in our understand ing of the mutual life insurance prob lems.' Maurice Untermyer, who has been in Europe furthering the plana of the organization of the International Policyholders' Committee returned to bis office yesterday. He said that he was not yet prepared to make public any-! FIGHT FREE SEED GRAFT (Continued from pagt 1) Democrats Are Blamed. An analysis of the vote on this quo turn in the House of Representative last May shows that the Free, Seed Dis tribution Item was Inserted In the Agri cultural Appropriation bill by dt'imx-raiif vote. Led by Representatives Caiue of Tennessee and Ijaitib of Virginia, $i democrats voted for the appropriation. How they reconciled their vote to the democratic traditional opposition to gov eminent bounties ami gratuities, is not known. They rallied to their support 71 republican. While 71 republicans voted for free seeds, 7(1 voted against the ap propriation, so, if it had been left to republican votes, it would have been de feated. Of the 133 member not voting, 17 are republican and 38 democrat. South Voted Almost Solid. A further analysis of the vote show" that Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor gia. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis souri, North Carolina, South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas and Virginia cast 7sl ; votes for free seed to six against it. With the exception of Maryland (one) Missouri (two) and North Carolina (three), every vote cast by a member of Congress from a Southern State was iu favor of "free seeds." la the case of the great agricultural states of the North, Kat and West, leva than a majority of the whole state delegation voted for the appropriation, white In mnny cae there were more vote against it ttmn for it Indiana showed up with live. Illinois with only six, Ohio did better with eight. Pennsylvania found ten trusty "free-seeders" while Minnesota produced only one, Massachusetts cat seven votes against and only two for, "free seeds" got half the Nebraska dele gation, but only four votes from Iowa to six against. New York cast 13 vote) j against to five vote for, with 17 mem-! bers not voting. From thi it is appar ent that the item was put in the appro priation bill by democratic votes, th bulk of which came from the South. While there is no politics in the mat ter, those opposed to this distribution will try to get their friends to write to Senators and Representatives, urging them to vote against the appropriation next session.
