Old Timers Meet.

A somewhat singular circumstance
occurred the other day in front of
Marsh's store. What makes it singu-
lar is that no prior arrangement had
been made but it was simply accident
al. The following old boys were
present: S. W. Field, age SO, w. G..
W. Sawyer 80. S. B. Erwin Ga fiddler
81, <. Mather So John Franklin,
formerly of DEBORAH but now of the
state of Washington rs. w. Daubney
81, A. Bradish 70. The kid of the
party, H. A. Bigelow. objects to hav-
ing his age published. hut it is suffi-
cient to say that he has discarded
long dresses some time ago! The
united age of the party is 638 years
and the average is about So 1t il
gratifying to say that these old gen.
tlemen, while physically they show
the effects Of time, are mentally as
sound as ever, and instead of turning
to vinegar, like some old folks, they
are as fond of joke and have the
same genial disposition as 60 years
ago. Xxx

A Serious Accident.

Hans Sandager living near Conoyer,
says the Calmar Courier, met with a
serious accident Wednesday afternoon.
He was acting in the capacity of en-
gineer on the traction engine of
Knudt Boe's steam threshing outfit,
and in backing the engine up to the
separator to couple onto it. the engine
did not respond readily enough to re.
v.rse action and he was caught be.
tween the engine and separator, Civ.
ing him terrible squeeze in the
middle part of his body. The accident
happened out on the Tykeson farm, and
the injured man was at once brought
to DR.. Roome's and then out to his
home. We hope he will recover soon
without any serious after effects from
his injury.

That's the Right Spirit.

The board of supervisors will sub
NIT to the voters of Winnesheik the
proposition of issuing negotiable
bonds not to exceed $50, 600 90, and
levy tax not exceeding two mills
on the dollar, for the purpose of Sc
curing the necessary funds to complete
the new house now in course of con-
struction. The SO, 0O0 90 voted at the
last general election is insufficient
to complete the structure, and, as we
are badly in need OF county govern
ment building, the legal voters
should, with the same enthusiastic
spirit demonstrated year ago, vote
the additional $50, 200 and have the
building completed as soon as pos
sible. -Ossian Bee

The Des MOines Mutual Hail Insurance ca

0 Mutual! How many frauds have
been committed in thy name?
A mutual company, when in the
hands of an honest and economical
man as agent may be as good as the
best, furnishing reliable insurance al
a moderate cost.
The Norwegian Mutual Protective
Association of Winnesheik county is a
good example, but on the other hand
our fair state of Iowa is cursed with q
number of concerns, mostly state
mutuals, organized by few pro-
moters, without capital or backing,
whose object from the first was to
create fat positions for themselves.
The policy holders are assessed an
nually, ostensibly to pay for losses
but in reality the larger part goes to
the officers and agents
The Des Moines Mutual Hail In
surauGe Company has just notified its
policy holders that the assessment for
1908 will be 3S per cent. which on
200 acres amounts to S3S. 90 or what is
the same thing as S38. 90 per $1,000 in
surance 1t would be interesting to
know just what part of this actually
goes to pay losses. The State
Auditors insurance report for 1902 on
page SO gives this information: For
the year 1901 This company levied SO
per cent. and collected assessments
amounting to $63. 40. 10. Out OF this
they paid the poor unfortunate
farmers who had suffered loss by hail
$40, 65l.37, the balance went for ex-
penses, compensation to officers and
agents of this benevolent association
of Des Moines styling itself
Mutual. " Is per cent. for losses. "a
PER cent. to the promoters The same
authority gives the levy for 1902 as 3
per cent. and the assessments COL
lected SS3, 769. 36, losses paid amounted
to ST., 429 80, and compensation to
officers and agents, etc., S5S. 1858. 80.
Taking 1901 and 1902 as a basis it is
reasonably certain that the assess
ments fer 1903 not more than 20 per
cent. will 60 to pay losses and that 50
per cent. will 90 into the Golfers of
the management. - There is no law
in morals or in equity to enforce the
collection of such assessments and l
question the legal right thereto. This
method of fleeing is not confined to
hail insurance but the same tendency
is apparent in some of our state
mutual fire and lightning companies.
One thing is plain and that is that
the word Mutual" is no guarantee
of economy and low cost. Our leRis-
lators might profitably devote little
attention to this matter with view
to placing some limitation on such
methods.
