Despite the fact that the people of the United States have entered Upon a period of re? trenchment, they are buying more than flO.UOO.OOn of new life insurance this year, according to original statistics presented t?> the annual convention of the Association of Life lnsurun e Presidents here today. This sum it stated, is 1*1 per cent, more than the gjnouat bought in 1919. which in turn, was (?2 per cent more than that pur el sSOd in Iii IS. the previous record % ar. The total insurance in force on ail American lives 19 years ago was only n:r\r and a half billion dollars, or less than the present year's new in? surance. The statistics, which were contribut? ed by 153 companies doing 90 1-1 per cent of the life insurance business of the country, were presented to the convention by President George I. Cochran of the Pacific Mutual J^ife Insurance Company, of Los Angtrles, (Dal., who said in part: "Last year the Insurance* world "dis? cussed with unconcealed amazement the tremendous increase, in new life insurance bought by American p<*> ple, analyzed it and sought to under? stand the reasons for it.

HEYWARD RESIGNS FEDERAL POSITION Collector of Internal Revenue Retires Soon Washington, Dec. 10. ? Duncan C. Heyward, collector of the internal rev? enue tor the district of South Caro? lina, has tendered hin resignation to tho president. Announcement to this effect was made today by Secretary Tumulty and W. W. Williams, com? missioner of internal revenue. The receipt of the resignation was no surprise, as it was generally un* derstood in the South Carolina dele? gation in congress that Mr. Heyward had concluded definitely to retire. It ia said here that Mr. J ley ward, who at one time was governor of South Carolina, will engage in a general brokerage, stock and bond business in Columbia. Duncan C. Heyward has resigned in order to devote his entire time to his personal business, and he said over the telephone last rdght that he hoped to be relieved from duty prioi to January 1. Tin many friends 01 the collector are glad that he will remain in Columbia. The former chief executive of the state has opened an Investment busi? ness uhdor the lirm name of D. C. Heyward & Co., and has formed a connection with Imbrie & Co., of New York, members of the New York stocl< exchange. It is to this stock anil bond business that he will devote hit time. He said last night that he ex? pected to add to the business by put? ting in a department of accounting and also an Incomo ta\ feature, deal? ing with the making out of returns. The retiring collector served South Carolins as its chief executive from .January. 1908, until January, 1907, being' reflected without opposition, lie proved to be one of the most etil (dent and popular governors in the history of the state. Ho was ap? pointed collector of internal revenue for this district by President Wilson in 1915 taking the ota 78555i6"mm tember i of that year. He has made a no,st excellent federal official.

POPLAR AS A HONEY PLANT. j It is hardly necessary to give any description of this greatest nectar yielder, as every man, woman and < hild recognizes it as a honey plant. It does grow everywhere, but is mostly found along our smallest J streams and dry branches, ditches, gullies and even the very smallest i little drains. However, the trees will grow larj;e j er in the- richer soil especially in bottoms and springy wet places. Some trees will reach enormous growth, five and six feet in diameter i and such trees have a great value for j lumber, and the saw mill men are j logging our country all the time for this particular tree. After it reach? es matur<? growth ii has a large, long straight trunk, with only a few large limbs as a top, but while it is grow? ing to maturity it has almost innum? erable numbers of small limbs, which stand out from the small trunk in almost a perfect oval shape, male 'ling ?t easy to distinguish from all jollier trees. Its foliage Is dense and [very green which makes it a heavy bloomer. The blooms form at the end Of each thrifty twig, at the close of it:-> spring growth, and only one on the end of ?ach twig, which hi about one inch in diameter when fully opened, with large petals, and on the Insldt of these is found the nectar standing in large drops about midway, at which place each petal has a dim re 1 I spot. Some of this nectac remains with them for several days, ii the rain does not wash it off. You can pick the pet als up after they fall to the ground , and taste and see the nectar in thorn The first blooms will appear In th< very tops of the trees, then gradual l ly the blooms will appear lower un? til those on the bottom limbs are al Anally opened and in this way thh source lasts, for thirty days or more i It begins blooming in the south . ern region about April loth and 3C . days later it lias bloomed all the wa\ ? tip the country and rearhed the Diu? ? I Ridge section and about May 1st i1 I J begins blooming there, and lasts ui 1 until June, beginning first, at th< , I foot of the mountains ana then on U| . as the season advances towards tin j highest points. L I It docs not grow much above th< . j mid way point ot m< untaln, but in th< : f mountain sections it grows even' I i where as well as along streams , j while in the Piedmont section it fol . lows up the water courses, and is th main growth there bo tar as tlmbe is concerned. for most or the lam . i is in cultivation except in such plac cs. Its honey has n very heavy bodj ! dark amber in color except In the Blu< , Ridge section, there p. is very li.^h amber and has a very mild rlcl da vor. AU through the Piedmont sectioi there arc thousands of springs ot verj j line water and a few large poplai trees mark the sites of many of thes? [springs. The weary, thirsty travelei la iocl to them in this way. On this point I heard a traveler re? late his experience once. He wai traveling through this section, tired hungry and thirsty; he saw a large poplar tree in the distance, and h? made his way to it; knowing that he would find a spring of water at its base, and on reaching it he not only found a great spring of cool refresh? ing water, sparkling with purity but also a jug of good, rich butermilk, and a large dish of butter, which the farmer's wife who lived some distance above in the fteld, had placed there to cool for dinner. The proper thing to do soon BUg gested Itself to him, and he and ins pal drank the milk, filling the jug With water and placing it just as they found it.

He characterised aa "hum bug, sham and false pretense," the union's charge that the manufacture era plan to return to -sweat shop conditions." "This will be evidenced." the state? ment added, "by the fact that the employers are about to put into oper? ation a plan of work whereas/ em? ployment will be given to thousands I of workers who for a long time have j been idle because of the Inability of I the manufacturers to compete and es? IcUiJ business. And the workers will ; be Invitdd to work, but it is feared that they will be prevented from so doing by the union's direct;nn that tiny strike. Sweat shop conditions today are a matter of the past and are inconceivable and impossible (through the safeguards and protec? tion flforded workers by our present labor laws." Mr. Band'er asserted a complete change in the fundamentals control? ling the local labor market is im? perative to restore the Industry tc a basis of business efficiency and eradi cate th eovil practices in which "the industry is steeped and the perils which threaten it." This is neces? sary, he declaredi In OTtfor to meet} the public's demand for a reduction of clothing prices, to save 2o New York city the clothing market with its annual output of $200,000,000 and give employment to about 60,000 workers. Mr. Handler citen numerous confer t nces with the union, which, he said, led to nothing and the Union's posi? tion that "irrespective of merit and of existing economic conditions" it would not recede from what it had secured during war timep. After the union rejected the proposal that workers be held individually respon? sible for :i dslly standard of produc? tion to be agreed upon and manu? facturers be permitted to discharge Incompetent help, Mr. Bandler said: "There remained no other course open to the manufacturers than to publicly announce the severance of relations between the association and the union end to proceed to put into effect a plan of work whereby each ! worker would be paid for what be produces and on a basis which would permit the New York manufacturers ^ to .secure business in competition With 1 the oilier clothing markets where the wages are very substantially lower." There can be no hope for the sav? ing of the New York clothing mar \ kets, the statement said, unless the relationship between the employees md workers be reestablished upon ' "a most Complete renunciation by ' the workers of what. Is, and has been, the fundamental revolutionary doc? trine and purpose of the Amalgamat? ed Clothing Workers union as stated ' in its constitution as follows: "To put th ? organized working class in ? actual control of the system of pro . ductlon, to the end that they shall f> be ready to take possession of it." r Union Officials took exception to 1 Mr. Handler's charge of sovietism In their industry and declared their ob? ject is the "democratic control of industry." "Our consttttulon has not been 1 changed In any material respect for six years " a statement by the Amu' 1 gamated officials said. "The manu? facturers have made contracts with us during that time and not one of these contracts has ever been violat? ed by the union. We believe tho workers has more invested in the industry than any one who may have 1 made a temporary money investment. The worker has put his life, his skill. Into th ? material he is engaged In producing." T'nmn leaders today made plans to meet a complete "lockout" which, they said, they expected will be put into effect by the manufacturers to? morrow. They declared 65.000 unem? ployed members of the organization are prepared to act as pickets if a lockout is enforced. Come I lore With Your Mxts.
