Farmers Investigate


In last weeks issue of sew
eral papers Mr.. l.. L. Sample
states, we trust the farmers Of
Harrison county will investi-
gate the truth regarding the
statement he makes.
So we say Regarding what
he states of our plan of adj
justing and paying losses we
are willing to stand on our re-
cord and follow Section 10y of
our 'by laws requiring so pei
cent of value of stock insured,
to give claimant appraised
value Oh animal killed. If they
do not have SO per cent we pay
in SUCH proportion as insurance
bears to the value of stock at
time Of loss.
Those persons he refers to-
who were paid in this way are
satisfied with the principle and
our method.
Mr.. Kennedy will admit, that
he did not realize how many of
his neighbors were affected by
what he wrote. There are 1850
of the best farmers of this coun-
ty in the Farmer Company: 1000
in the towns are in the Iowa
Town Mutual; 1000 in the Iowa
Tornado Mutual, and nearly all
the business men of Logan are
in Mercantile Mutual Insurance
Companies.
Mr.. Sample states that a Mu-
tual Company cannot pay 100
cents on the dollar unless they
make assessments amounting to
2 per cent including policy fees.
Well, the record of the Har-
rison County Farmers Mutual
Insurance Company for the past
FIVE YEARS as shown by the
Auditors insurance report is II
per cent. Town Mutuals from
J of l per cent to of l per
cent and Tornadoes are ] of /
per cent.
Let us see how about the rec
ord Of the Stock Companies.
The Anchor for the past five
years paid 40 per cent of prem
iums received for losses leaving
go per cent for officers and
stockholders.
Regarding the Hawkeye COM
pany, we publish the following:
Dunlap, Ia, z 9-'O3.
C. N. CALDWELL:
DEAR SIR: Replying to Sam
piles statement in the Chronicle
that they had found by long
years of experience that they
could not pay all claims 100
cents on the dollar, without
charging 2 per cent" it might
be interesting to holders of
Hawkeye policies to know just
how much of the money they
suppose they are paying for in
surance, goes into the pockets
of officers, agents and stock
holders.
have not the latest fire
chart, but the chart for Iowa
for 1901 shows that for the ten
years 1891 to 1900 inclusive,
the Hawkeye company collected
in premiums S2,859,785 and
paid out i'm payment of losses,
81, O55, 697, leaving a balance of
81, 8O4,O88 to go into the pock-
cts of officers, agents and stock
holders.
In other words, out of every
dollar paid by Mr.. Kennedy and
other patrons of the Hawkeye
Insurance company during
these 10 years, SO cents went
into the pockets of officers and
stockholders, and 81 cents went
to pay losses.
These figures are from the
Hawkeye company's own re-
ports and can be found on page
3 in C. S. Hunters fire chart
for 1901.
Every year since 1890, (the
chart does not show how long
before) stockholders of the
Hawkeye company have re-
ceived an annual dividend of
100 per cent, which Mr.. Ken
needy and other patrons of the
company have paid, in addition
to the losses and expenses of
the management.

Editorial Notes.

The car OF Russia has abol-
ished the use of the cat-'o-nine-
tails in his domain. The car
is getting to be a reasonable
kind of a fellow. He is pun
ishing the perpetrators Of the
massacre of the Jews. BY the
time he has dealt with the
United States a few years
longer he will be a reasonable
kind of a sovereign.
You can hear the corn grow
this kind of weather.
Hon. j. X. McGavren, of this
city, is being talked of as the
nominee for Treasurer on the
democratic ticket this fall. j..
X. is thoroughly competent to
fill the position and it is a
"cinch" that if he were NOM
mated and elected the duties of
the Treasurer's office would be
administered absolutely accord
ing to law. When he was coun-
ty auditor he made one of the
best officers the county ever
had in that position, and he
would make as good a Treasur-
er as he did an Auditor.
Samuel Purcell, of Woodbine,
was a pleasant caller today, ac-
companied by his nephew, DIR.
w. M. Purcell, of Farmersburg,
Indiana. The DR.. says he
stopped where Missouri Valley
now stands, IN the spring OF
1857. He had the chills and
fever and stopped two days
with Boone Mcintosh, who
lived then where the Third
Ward school house now is. Mo.
Valley was a corn field then.
The Wall street inhabitants
are having a real strenuous
time these days. Too much
speculation.
The druggists of Iowa have
been having the time of their
life for the last three days in
Council Bluffs. The state meet
ing of that association has been
held in that city, and the people
of Council Bluffs are showing
them what it is to be enter
tanned in a hospitable town.

Equality.

Kentucky, a Southern State,
is solid on equality of citizen
ship, according to the Constitu-
tional Amendment, and to make
the acceptance plain, they pro-
ceeded to lynch a white man,
yesterday for committing a
murder. VIM. Thacker, the
man lynched, shot one John Cor
don, and being rich, the people
feared he might escape the pen
atty of the law, took the law in
their own hands and hanged
him. Being white did not save
him. Mob law is seldom justi-
fable, but there are crimes of
such magnitude that the slow
process of the law may defeat
the ends of justice, and in such
cases, while the people do not
approve the mob, they are slow
to condemn. 1t is not a question
of color, nor is it a question of
locality north or south, for hui
mainly is about the same in ev-
cry land and age, and therefore
equality before the law" gives
business to the mob.

Roland for His Oliver.

The drive of between fourteen and fifteen miles from San Diego to Tia Juana is most delightful one. Great orchards of lemon, orange, fig and olive trees can be seen on every hand surround ing pretty and at times imposing villas ond comfortable looking ranch houses of more modest architecture. On several occa- sions the obliging driver stepped his team to allow us to alight and pluck green lemons and or anges and ripened figs from the trees, a novel experience to us who dwell in cline where such semi-tropic fruits cannot be grown. While passing hand some fig orchard the man from Maine turned to our wives, who occupied the rear seatof the car riage, and with a way-down-east grin OF his genial face, asked:
 Do you wimmen realize the fact that we are now passing a counterpart of the first dress  making establishment the world ever kneW?"
 "Well, now, [ want to know, but ain'5 you smart?" his aged wife replied. Come to think 1 reckon it isn't fur from bein' somethin' along the style of the first gentlemen's ready-made clothin' store, too, ain't it, pap?"
 Bound to get the best of me, want you, mother? I calkilate l never yet made Q move on the board of smartness that you didn't Jump my man. Tux It from your mother, 1 reckon, her bein' looked on as the smartest jokin' woman raound 2bout Pc nobscot. Smarter'n a fresh mus tard plaster, ain't she driver.
 'She's corker," was the sen tentious reply, as he eased his prancing team over a shaky bridge. James Barton Adams i'll Denver post.

Found at Last.

My wife will be careful here after how she takes liberties with the truth" said Jones with a grin. "We had our minister with us the other day for dinner and the conversation turned up on absent-mindedness, and my better half had to tell her story.
 ''I am dreadfully absent mind ed," she said. ''I remember some six or seven years ago, 8 friend of mine gave me her cele- brated receipt for making jam. When 1 reached home carefully put away where 1 would be sure to find it when I wanted it. But do you know, a few weeks later when I needed it, I could not remem Ser for the life of me where 1 had put it, and to this day l hdve never been able to ind it.
 After dinner she turned to the Rev. Ar. Thirdly and said sweetly;
 "Tould you mind reading a  cha ter il the Bible? We make

it a rule to read at least one chapter every night"
 This statement caused me to look at herin surprise, for it twas news to me.
 The reverend gentleman con sented graciously, and she brought the family Bible, which she had carefully dusted and placed in a conspicuous spot be- fore he had arrived.
 As he turned the ledves a pa- per futtered to the foor.
 "Goodness!' gasped my wife, as she picked it up, not realizing how her words were gong to sound after her somewhat pious statement, "it is that recipe for jam"- "-Detroit Free Press.

Prepared for the Worst.

A good story is told of a dig ger who had ridden into a west ern Australia town to consult doctor Having done so, he went to have the prescription put up.
 "How much is this lot?" he asked the chemist.
 Well, let me see, was the re- ply. "Thers's seven-and-six- pence for the medicine and shilling for the bottle." He hesi- tated, uncertain whether he had charged for everything.
 "Oh, hurry up, boss, said the impatient miner. Put price on the cork and let us know the worst. Tit Bits.

Health is better than wealth. Everybody understands that, though the majority of mankind appears ready to sacrifice health in order to obtain wealth. The millionaire knows that the sacri- fee is the veriest folly. Here is John D Rockefeller telling @ physician that he would give S1,000,000 for a new stomach.
