the two divisions of the squadron and
seemed to discharge torpedoes. The

saw no fishermen, and were not aware

make ample compensation.

FARMERS TAKE INSURANCE..
Dickinson County Is Preparing fol
Emergencies.

&1AAA~e . ~.~~~~
One Of the effects Of increased pros
perity In this section Is the large
amount Of life insurance being tsket
out BY farmers. Until within the
past year or two very few farmers
carried insurance in old line compa
mics. They were insured II at all il
the frAternals, principally in an order
that was q part Of the Farmers al
liance movement but which ha'
passed away. Oilate the agents'fO fol
old line companies have been work
ing In .his new field and have found
it promising. In one township Of
this county q few days ago six agents
representing four companies were
interviewing farmers. One agen'
here, c. c. Wyandt. has written over
500, 900 worth Of life insurance 10
the past three months and most Of
it in the country in amounts ranging
from $1,000 to $1,000. In many in
stances both husband and wife are
Insured, this apparently being a fav'
orite form Of investment for the farm
ers.
The other day farmers wife came
to an agent in this city and asked
about life insurance. "My husband
is greatly opposed to it, said she'
"but want to have some provision
for the children. L have my own
money from poultry and eggs and
can pay for it that way" She took
out a policy on her own life for the
children and her husband is yet un.
aware OF her action.
The fraternal insurance orders do
not seem less prosperous because OF
the exceptionally large amount OF old
line insurance taken. The town has
% orders and another was started
last night, most Of them giving in
surance in some form. Many farm
ers belong to these but they are
chiefly those near to town and who
can thus attend lodge.

The Wheat and Chess Problem.
For the Reflector.

For the Reflector.
Found at last, man who knows
that wheat does not turn to cheat or
chess. Mr.. L. D.. Arnold says that
chess is com N on 10 winter wheat and
that wheat does not turn to cheat. l
can sp ak only from experience. Dur
ing eighteen years. experience as q
wheat buyer. remember but one sea-
son when cheat appeared to any ex'
tent il the wheat. That was a num-
Der OF years sgo and l had put in fifty
acres Of Wheat on my farm west OF
town. Choice seed wheat was used
and it was put in with drill. II
looked we'll In the fall and had every
appearance OF making fine crop un'
I'll Just befJre harvest when | DIS
covered that my wheat was half cheat
The majority OF wheat fields that year
we g in ahnut the same condition. l
cleaned out wagon loads Of cheat from
the wheat bought that summer.
The next crop was large one, and
no cheat was discovered in wheat
raised on the same land that had pro-
duced so much cheat the year before.
Mr.. Arnold says it requires a period
of years for one variety OF plant to
change to another such as wheat, and
cheat. II the change does take place
it must be due to an unnatural con-
dition Of the plant or seed. Freezing
and thawing will often produce 'uf'
ficient upheaval in the ground to
break the roots of the wheat and
thereby the stalk loses its wheat
producing strength aud cheat Is the
result. Wagons we're driven across
a certain wheat field near Manchester
during the winter months. At har-
vest time the track or road made by
these wagons we're plainly visible
The crop taken from this road
way was nearly all cheat and was
the only part of the entire yield
which produced any cheat. The road
had been broken while the ground
was 10 a semi-frozen condition, and
cheat was the crop.
Can Mr.. Arnold explain why cheat
did not appear in my wheat field
above referred to, excepting In the
drill rowrP Can he explain why
cheat did not appear elsewhere in the
field at Manchester excepting in the
roadway Iihe can. then shall be
inclined to think that be knows wheat
does not turn to cheat, but unless he
can give some explanation 1t would
seem very hard to choke down the
most ardent supporters Of DArwin''
theory shat wheat does not turn to
cheat. E. T. ELLISON
