A FEW FACTS.

A report is being circulated among
our farmers to the effect that the
Kansas State Mutual Hail Company
of Mcpherson. Kansas, have not writ
ten six of their old customers of last
year. With the assistance of Mr..
O'Neil 1 am writing the applications
for the Mcpherson company and
have been for three years. / have
thoroughly studied every principle of
the company from facts and figures.
and have written more insurance than
this reporter has any idea of, and we
know he would not miSconStrue this
matter on purpose for the little gain,
for the commissions are very small.
So / will enlighten the would-be
johnnie WISE with the following.
which is clipped from a letter dated
April -, and written by A S. Shaw,
secretary of the Kansas State Mutual
Hail Company.
I'VE are sending you about sixty ap-
| plicationS today. If this is not
enough please let me know and we
will willingly send you more. You
said to send a few. You have now
written little over S41 900 OF BUSH
ness and the season has not commence
ed yet. Where are you going to end
| this time? 1t is more than one-half of
What you wrote altogether last year.
You are certainly doing d lot of hust-
ling to get the amount of business
you are getting, and so early in the
season. 1t has not commenced yerv
much in the south. You say you will
send the Weaver one soon. 1 suppose
that to mean one that you are holding
back, as we have none by that name
that we are holding here.
We have been sending to the appli-
cantS themselves for location where it
was missing, as we knew you had a
lot of business to attend to. and we
were trying to favor you. However,
we will send to you now.
This letter was written April % and
since that time Mr.. O'Neil and myself
have been writing good business all
the time and to date have written
about $50, 900 and nave only commenc-
ed, and our register remains open on
our desk at any time disclosing the
names of nearly all our old customers
and many new ones.
This company is the farmers them
selves. They get their insurance
at actual cost. They are bonded
to the State of Kansas in the sum of
$4,000 to keep their contracts ana
facts and figures disclose the fact that
they do so. Northwest Kansas is
more or less liable to hail every year
and more SO than any other spot on
earth and every farmer who has a
good wheat prospect should have his
hail policy prior TO getting his header.
Three years experience in the compa-
ny shows the farmers to have received
more cold cash from insurance than
one wheat crop would net.

We so often read that Mr. or Miss
Anybody closed a very successful term
of school in Everywhere district ETC., |
ETC., that the expression has lost its
force; il means almost ANYTHING you |
like, or absolutely nothing However, |
judging by appearances on the last
day of the term at Ogallah, Friday, |
May 10, 1905, MIR. Roy Blakely must |
be. at least, very popular teacher.
The people, parents and pupils were
there in an endorsing force, and all as
happy as only a Kansas people can be.
The forenoon was given over to the
usual program of exercises common to
such occasions: all parts we're fairly
good, but the conflict on "Gingerbread
HILL" needed a little more ginger,
and the combatants a little more
room in which to swing their fiatirons
and teakettles. After all. perhaps
''Topsy" took the cake; we saw her
take little of most everything else,
including the vinegar and red pepper,
but she forgot to kill the chicken I'M
til after the table was set. Tops is
all right
albCl CnC CACiClSCSs tiiO iOA'Oo anu
fishes were divided, or laid out on two
forty-foot tables. Three huLdsed
people laid themselves out to devour
the viands, but the more they ate the
more there seemed to be remaining.
Besides visiting, the main event of
the afternoon was the bawl game.
Twixt the knockers, lockers, the
man with the cork eye and the lad
with glass mitt, they had a time of it
n-with-the-iron-jaw caught foul;
after that the rooters took back
seat. Luckily. Iron-Jaw had his face
padded and his mouth closed at the
time of the accident, so the game was
not stopped for want of ball.. The
umpire said "Scrap On," and they
did. The first game was a mixed af
fair between Ogallah and Adair, and
that Is just the way the score looked
when they quit. In tho second game
1.-The Swedes" took hand and in less
than ten minutes the Lallahgolairs
couldn't talk a word of Russian. The
score was taken in Dutch; it's there
yet.
Common School Graduation exer-
cises were held at the NJ. E. church In
the evening. The graduates were
Nellie Davidson, Maggie Harrison,
Susie Fulton and Herman Saleen; the
latter is a pupil of Pioneer school,
Emma Courtney, teacher; the Others
are Mr.. Blakely's pupils. The princi-
pal address was delivered by w. S.
Picken, of the Hays Normal school.
j. II. Niesley made very good talk,
presenting the advantages of having
IA county high school and spoke from
both observation and experience. The
county high school idea was warmly
endorsed by Prof. Picken, also, before
presenting Booker L. Washington as
an example of what any poor boy may
do who really wants to get an educa
ton. The diplomas were presented
by Mrs. Q. d. Smith, superintendent
of county schools, with appropriate
words of commentator and encour
agement. The music and singing
were excellent.
The people of Ogallah are royal en-
tertainers as every one of the fifty liz
the Wa-Keeney contingent present
that day and evening will gladly
testify. ONE OF THEM.
