TO OUR REPORTERS.
Suggestions Made and Plan for Spe-
cial Work for the Next
Two Weeks.

During the past two months sew
eral of our young reporters have be-
come quite efficient news gatherers
and have improved greatly in their
manner of writing up their Items.
Considering the age and ineXpeTience
of the writer's some very commenda-
BILE papers have been sent in. To the
reporters we would say, take little
more care with your writing; separate
your items by double space; group
your items into city local, Fruitmere,
South Canon, or Lincoln Park items;
don't mix the news on same page of
copy paper. Don't divide an item-if
Mr.. Jones has purchased home and
is making improvements on the same
place, say it all in one item. Always
give the first name when possible.
Don't say Mrs. Smith is on the SICK
LIST" We keep no such list.
For our next issue we want some
statistics about sugar beet culture
around Canon. For part of this We
will depend on our volunteer reporters
and one of the prizes at least will be
given for the best list of sugar beet
items. We want to know for our
next two issues who raised sugar
beets last year; kind, amount of land
planted, when set out, about how
much the yield, what stock they have
been fed to, and any other interesting
items about Canon sugar beet grow
ers. Ask your parents and your
neighbors what they think about
sugar beets as food for stock and
tell them of the prize offer for the
best eighth of an acre of sugar beets
spoken of elsewhere in this issue of
the RECORD.
Remember the prizes are now
$1.00, SOC, and 25c for each week,
and don't lose sight of the fact that a
valuable dictionary will be given
away September Sth to the one fur
,ishing the greatest number of items,
and we predict that this handsome
prize will be carried off by some one
who now doesn't think they stand
much show for it. This prize alone is
well worth the trial.
Hereafter the RECORD will 90 to
press Wednesday night, so we would
ike to have as many of the items as
possible in on Tuesday morning and
none after 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning,
We would like each contributor TO
read our Reporters Contest offer
once more and pay a little more at
JenLion TO the preparation of manu-
script. 1t is a good plan to number
7our items each week.
The prizes this week are awarded
as follows:
First prize Ethel Roberts.
Second prize Roy UnderhilI.
Third prize Minnie Weed.

MARINE INSURANCE RATES IN.
CREASED.

Boston. March 25-The demand for
marine war insurance has greatly in
creased within the past few days. Pres
ident Fuller of the Boston Marine In

recently written about % risks and is
daily receiving many applications. In
consequence of the threatening aspect
of the situation, war rates have been
increased so per cent over rates pre-

New York, March 25.-Marine under
writer's reported today that there was
hardening of rates consequent on the
developments in the Spanish-American
situation. The rates which had ranged
from Is of one per cent to Il on steam
ships, and from 94 of one per cent to
IL on sailing vessels, doubled yester-
day, and a further rise is looked for.
Even at the rates quoted, some risks
were refused, principally those for a
longer time than two weeks. 1t was
also reported by the companies that the
inquiries about war risks were greatly
in excess of vessels offered. Traders
and merchants manifest anxiety to find
out in this way how the situation is re-
garded in commercial circles generally.
London, March 25.-Lloyds regard the
situation as being worse today and are
asking 20 guineas per cent on war
