Last week the price of wheat
took a dip and May option went
down to $l.08. The move is specula-
tive. of course, but is none the less
largely governed by what is consider
ed to be the propable supply and de-
mand. With the price of wheat
above a dollar there is bound to be
practically no expectation, and it
therefore follows that only a short
crop at home can maintain the price.
The chances are ten to one that
wheat will look high at S5 to 80 cents
on the Minneapolis market next fall.

The Aren't Didn't Know.

There are today some thousands
OF varieties Of life insurance poll.
c,es. each Of which has technical
name and is capable Of being made
quite unintelligible TO the average
man. Some unscrupulous agents
trade on this. Many do not really
understand the meaning OF terms
themselves, but have learned their
lesson parrot-like, and most OF them
apparently find it unnecessary to
describe in plain English to those
about to insure what they are con-
trscting for. The result is mass
of misinformation and confusion
about the whole subject.
For instance, and agent was try
ing TO insure an editor on some
new plan. The editor had theory
that any fact could be put into plain
everyday English if the man be-
hind the fact really knew what he
was talking about. After Listening
TO an involved flow OF premiums,
I'd. fered dividends, cash surren
der values, and Optional choices
he said grsvely:

"All districts, whether senatorial

districts; that is, each voter in the
state shall have the right to vote foi
but one senator and one representa-
tive. That part of the constitution
which says that "no country, fol
senatorial apportionment, shall be
divided" is to he repealed, and
where necessary, the several couL'
ties shall be divided All distrlct'
shall be compos ed OF contiguous
territory and shall contain nearly a
possible the same number OF male
inhabitants over the age OF twenty
one wear.
"When a county is divided TO
senatorial or representative purp )se
the dividing linz shall be straigh
line running east and west, iron
one side Of the county to the othe
side.
Each county shall have me re
preventative; the county having tn
largest number OF males owe
twenty -one years of age shall hav
three representatives, and the sil
counties OF the state having tn
next largest number OF male inhabi
tants over twentyone years OF age
, shall have two representatives each
