MONIED MEN WORKING
CHAIRMAN INSURANCE ExAMIN-
ALTON COMMITTEE WORRIED.
Because Some States Conclude TO act
on What They Already Know
Says Insurance Companies
are Perfectly Solvent.

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 9.-Senator
Armstrong. chairman OF the insurance
investigating committee, left for New
York last night on insurance matters.
Before leaving Chairman Armstrong
said:
Il regret very much to see other
states apply drastic remedies in ad-
vance OF action in this state. Our
committee will be appointed to leg
islation. | sincerely hope other states
will wait until we have had an oppor-
tunity TO complete our work"
These insurance companies are per-
fectly solvent and are able to carry
out every contract they have made or
may make. There is no reason for
refusing to permit them to continue
TO do business. II Nevada proposes
TO do one thing. Missouri another
thing and some other state
still another thing. there will be a
chaotic condition Of affairs. | believe
there is due at least the courtesy to
New York state to wait until the in
vestigation Is completed and our rem
edial legislation is applied.
our committee will make the most
thorough investigation possible. and
when we are through we shall make
it our business to adopt such legisla-
ton as will safeguard the policy hol-
ders and make the Insurance business
safer and sounder and ore attractive
than Il has ever been before.
Our committee was not appointed
to tear down the insurance business
of the country but to build Il up. We
are simply tearing down some of the
rotten timbers 20 get the right founda-
tion on which TO build"

When man becomes so morose or hard
hearted that he can not sit down now and then
and indulge in a laugh, he needs repairing.
Laughter sweetens the temper; just read this
account of a Dakota farm, tomorrow after din

yes sir" resumed the Dakota man, a
crowd of argriculturist seated themselves
around little table; Eyes sir we do things on
rather szable scale I've seen man on one
of our big farms start out in the spring and
plow furrow until fall. Then he turned
around and harvested back. We have some big
farms up there, gentlemen. A friend OF mine
owned one on which he had to give mortage
and the mortgage was due on one end before it
was recorded on the other. You was laid
off in counties"
There was murmur of astonishment, and
the Dakota man continued,

Milling circles and the four-using

past few months in a milling machine
recently patented by Levi Lash, man.
ager Of the Globe Milling company of
Garretson.
For several weeks the company has
had its mill running OH what is known
as the continuous air system, which
Mr.. Lash's machine makes possible.
BY the use of this air system all the
cotton fibre of the -four is removed.
This cotton fiber is part Of the flour
that is entirely indigestible and mill
ers have never before been but par
TALLY successful in removing it.
The air system also keeps the rolls
perfectly cool and enables a miller
to turn out a coarser product and yet
have the color without killing the life
Of the flour to bleach it, and the sweet,
nutty flavor of the wheat is retained.
1t has also distinct economic gain.
While the general public will know
and care little about the work of the
machine, millers are interested and the
public is keenly alive to the added
purity of the flour and the retaining
of the natural flavor of the wheat.
Garretson is naturally much pleased
to see one OF her citizens solve a vital
problem that has confronted millers I'D

TO FEED OWN THREsH,Ne CREW.
Farmers Wives Hail John Hammer as
Benefactor.

Benefactor.
The wives of South Dakota farmers
are hailing as benefactor John Ham
mer, Turner county thresherman, be-
cause he has adopted an ingenious
method of feeding his threshing crew.
They hope that his method will be
adopted by every thresherman in the
state, for it would relieve them of
the terrors of the threshing period,
when they are expected to feed large
number of men in addition to perform
ing their household duties.
Hammer intends that the wives of
farmers for whom he threshes shall
not be worked to death during the
time himself and crew of men are at
work upon a farm. He has arranged
to board and provide for his men
himself. In accordance with his plan
he has constructed car 10 by 30 feet
in size. In this he will have his din
ing room and kitchen. Tents will be
carried for sleeping apartments. The
car will be on wheels and and easily
can be hauled from place to place as
the scene of threshing is changed.
All the farmers will have to do I'M
der Hammers plan will be to haul the
grain away after the threshing ma
chine has separated it from the stalks.

THE ANNUAL PRECIPITATION.
Average of 2o.44 Inches at Huron in
Twenty Years.

According to records in the United
States weather bureau at Huron, the
annual precipitation recorded during
the twenty-three years the office has
been in existence in Huron averages
2O.44 inches. For the seven months
of the present year the record is 21.29
inches, which added to the rainfall so
far during August at least 80 inches,
thus far in 1905. This marked increase
in the precipitation for this locality is
highly gratifying and is being widely
commented upon. The weather thus
far during the crop growing season
was quite satisfactory, and at harvest
time is simply ideal. Surely the splen-
did yields of small grain. added to the
encouraging outlook for a good crop

and hay, are good cause for rejoicing

will have fat pocketbooks and inflated

SOUTH DAKOTA WILL HAVE Bic CROP

The threshing machines are begin
ming to tell their story, and the crop
situation in South Dakota is beyond
tho guess-work stage.
Early predictions to the effect that
the state would raise one of the larg-
est crops in it's history are fully borne
out by the threshing returns, as fol-
vows:
Northville-R. A. Batten had his rye
threshed last Saturday, and the yield
was eighteen bushels to the acre. Geo.
Cassett also had some threshed. and
the yield was about sixteen bushels an
acre. The rye is of fair quality.
Flandreau-George Pilling threshed
some barley that went thirty bushels
an acre. Hanson Bros. reported thir-
LYNNE bushels an acre. Giles Petit
grew reports twenty-seven; Frank
Mead, twenty eight; w. S. Titus, thir-
ty-three; Ben Julson, thirty. Barley
is more or less dark, and is selling
on the local market for % to 80 cents
q bushel.
Egan-Threshing is in progress.
Robert Burgess threshed his barley
and reports a yield of forty bushels
an acre. Rye raised on the farm of
Mr.. Reading threshed out little over
twenty bushels to the acre.
Big Stone-H. B. Crippen's four
teen-acre field of winter wheat thresh-
ed out about fourteen bushels an acre,
and was sold for seed to various farm
ers. His winter rye yielded only nine
bushels to the acre.
Armour-H. B. Robinson threshed
some of his new wheat and was the
first to market wheat here this sea-
son. His wheat went twenty-six BUSH
els to the acre and weighed out sixty
two pounds to the bushel.
South Shore-Among the first to
thresh in this locality was r. w. Will
fans. One of his fields of barley
threshed out over forty-one bushels to
