Tobacco Farmers Given Protection by a
Reputable Company.

Tobacco Farmers Given Protection by q
Reputable Company.
The St. Paul Hail & Cyclone Insur-
ance Co. has decided to take moderate
amount of risks in growing tobacco this
summon and sent their agent, Jay j.
Harris, into the growing districts to look
after the business. The company be-
lieves that by scattering their risks
farmers can be given protection at a
moderate cost, something they have long
needed. In the few days Mr.. Harris has
been in Edgerton he has interested the
following list of we'll known growers who
have taken insurance in his company:
P. N. Johnson, Daniel Pierce, Fl. S. Pom
eroy, G. w. Fl. Hall, j. G. Marsden, [. P.
Saunders, c. P. Slagg, Samuel Marsden,
F. L. MADISON. Arthur Vlckers, Fl. O..
Lein, G.. w. Nichols, John Bates, Leon
ard Marsden and P. L. Pierce.
AS to the ability of the company to
| make good their insurance guarantee,
the following notice from the st. Paul
Farmer for April will show:
The st. Paul Mutual Hail & Cyclone
Insurance Co., with Office in the Pioneer
Press building, in st. Paul, seems to be
an illustration of successfully managed
and operated insurance company, it CIV
ing the farmers of the Northwest per-
feet protection against one of the great
est hazards to growing grain in this par
ticular locality. From their sworn state
ment, filed with the insurance commls-
sioner of the State of Minnesota on the
31st day of December, 1904, we find that
at the close of the year. this company
had So ,503, 78O at risk in the states of
Minnesota Wisconsin, South Dakota,
Montana and Colorado. There was
$40, h2382 in the treasury of the COM
pany, and all liabilities in the form of
losses paid in full The company's as
sets exceeded their liabilities SIG, 968.03.
This would indicate that the company is
in the most perfectly sound condition,
and one that would warrant the conf
dence of the farmers in the territory in
which they do business. The company
was Incorporated in 1897, and have done
a prosperous and uninterrupted bust
ness since that date, and it's report each
year has indicated marked growth and
prosperity since the time of incorpora-
ton. In addition to the hail business,
we understand that they have for the
past two years been building up an ex-
cellent cyclone insurance department. at
rates that are considerably less than old
line companies, and from the present in
dications this department will grow and
increase and be as large and powerful as
their present successful hail insurance
business.

The Top of the Ladder.

There is plenty Of opportunity for
superior talents The top Of the ladder
of success offers plenty of standing
room and invites guests. The lower
part only is fearfully crowded. There
is no excuse for the universal wall of
lack of opportunity, for there is no
lack. The trouble lies with the de-
mands laid upon those who aspire to
first place. One thing is certain, there
is no quarter for the wilmer and pre-
cious little encouragement for those
who do not care to work with might
and main.--Chicago Journal.

Sharks Death by Drowning.

While herring fishing in Dublin bay
on one occasion the steam trawler Roy.
alist landed in it's net a shark ten feet
in length and weighing nearly half a
ton. Paradoxical as it may appear, the
shark had met with his death by
drowning The ropes had caught in
his gills, so injuring them as to rem
; der them useless The shark had evil
IDENTITY been pursuing big shoal of
herring and had driven them into the
net and could not himself escape

An Oversight of Nature.

It is desirable to exclude light and
sound, but, while we have eyelids, no
apparatus for closing the ears is
known, save, believe, in certain ami
mails which inhabit the sea and whose
ears are of small auditory Importance
In these days, when noises of all kinds
more or less nerve wrecking, assail the
ears by night as well as by day, one
may be pardoned if he signs YEARLY
for ear lids.-London Academy.

Filth In Tibet.

Tibet is not a country where cleanli-
ness and goodness go hand in hand.
Neither the men nor the women take
any care Of their persons. They wear
their clothes very long without chang
ing, brushing or shaking them, keep
them on even at night, use them as
busters and towels and take them off
only when they drop off of themselves.
They never wash their bodies and only
in quite exceptional cases wash their
faces and hands.

BelOit's Milk Supply Tainted.

Half of the seventy cows on the farm
of William B. Strong, former president
Of the Santa Fe road, supplying one OF
principal milk routes of Beloit, were
found suffering from tuberculosis. and
we're ordered killed.
Drs Rhodes and Pattison, acting un-
der direction of State Veterinarian E. D
Roberts, made the tests. The presence
of the disease was noticed few days
ago and an investigation revealed the
astounding fact that fully one-half OF
the herd was affected. DR.. Rhodes
thinks other herds furnishing the city
with milk are similarity affected and the
investigation will be pushed.

THE REASON.

Knowing the tendency of the
editor of the Herald to toot his
own horn, considerable surprise has
been expressed by the press Of the
state that we do not publish the
complimentary notices about the
editor that are appearing in the
different papers. We would be
glad to do so but we must have
some space for editorials, locals and
advertisements.

argue that tarlH IL hecessaiy -
keep the Steel Trust from going
over to Europe and buying thei1
rails in that dear market and thus
impoverishing itself.
Fortunately the theory of q
protective tariff is SO simple that
the people cannot be mystifed by
meta physical arguments. They
know that articles controlled by
trusts and monopolists should not
be protected, for such protection
neither produces revenue or stimu-
lates production.
They know that protection for
articles that can be produced in the
United States cheaper than any
where else in the world is travesty
on the principle of protection.
They know that tariff on lumber
and fish has immensely increased
the price of these necessities, for
example there has been five
advances in the price of lumber in
the last nine months; that such
tariff does not add dollar to the
nations revenue and the only bene-
fit is derived by men of the class
that swore on the witness stand
that the profits of a single mill
were more than 200 per cent per
annum.
They know that if wrongs exist
in tariff laws or any other the
quicker that such inequalities are
removed the better.
We do not question either Con-
gresham McCleary's honesty or
thriftiness. He is the most
valuable asset of the American
Protective Tariff League. He is
exhibited all over the United States
as the representative of the greatest
agricultural district in the nation
who is an ultra stand patter.
Yet there is not a man in Mime
sofa but knows that he is not re-
elected each year because of his
"stand pat' tendencies bnt in spite
of them. There is not man in
so dense but he is aware
that if Congressman McCleary
stood in line with the sentiment of
his state and district on this question
to him would not be
even dreamed Of. Yet there is a |
fight made on him every year and
it requires all his magnificent skill
as debater, the wonderful prestige
he has acquired in congress, his
universal acquaintance throughout
his district and his marvellous
knowledge of detail for him to hold
his position.
Yet with all his power he dare
not make a speech in the second
district he has represented so long,
saying that he is absolutely opposed,
in this or the next congress, to any
tariff revision except a revision
upwards. He would no more think
Of Introducing bill levying tax
on coffee as he advocated on his
return from Europe, than he would
think Of voting to reduce his own
salary or cutting off the annual
clerk for the Committee on Library
for which there is about as much
need as there is for a burglar
proof safe in the Heral d Office.

Mr.. Novel; was also chief clerk OF
the assembly during the session OF
1877.
Another chief clerk of the senate
who will be we'll remembered is the
veteran, A. j. Turner of Portage, one
of the nestOrs of the republican party
of the badger state and whose paper,
the Portage Register, was among the
ablest weeklies of Wisconsin when he
was its editor.
Others may be mentioned in the
names of Byron Paine, Frank NJ.
Stewart of Baraboo, later clerk Of the
United States court, and F. A. bennett,
afterward a senator. In the session OF
1855 General David Atwood of Madi-
son was chief clerk of the assembly
and in 1874 George w. Peck, who six
teen years later attained the governor
ship. The Office has proved a fine
stepping stone to political honors for
the reason that its occupants get to
know who's who in public affairs.
