Mutual or Old Line Insurance!
Erred w. Lewis.)

Did any of our readers ever stop
to think how much of your nara earn
ed cash YOU were needlessly paying
out to fill the pockets OF the other
fellow? | realize that duty requires
lis to help each other, but then char
itv begins at home" and it Is our first
duty to look out for our family. For
instance, it is our duty to carry an
insurance on our property, as there
are none of us who are proof against
misfortune and a loss can more cas-
ilv he carried by a number than by
one, so if fire consumes our mousse
or harm we should have an insurance
policy to appeal to so the loss Will
not fall so heavily on US alone.
Now there are numerous companies
who undertake to carry that FISK LOT
a certain monetary consideration; anu
TO make themselves safe ana repay
themselves the expense OF clerk nlre'
officers salary, room rent, etc, tney
make the premium plenty high ana
so under ordinary conditions there Is
considerable left to divide among the
stockholders and help to increase their
hank accounts. I do not believe that
if is our duty to do this for these
stockholders, although it is perfectly
legitimate and a business proposition
which you and they have a perfect
legal and moral right to entertain.
There is no law to prevent you
paving a man ten thousand dollars
a wear to be president of an insurance
company, nor seven thousand five hun
bred dollars per year for another to be
secretary, nor Tom, Dick and Harry
fifteen dollars for every hundred dol
lars they have invested, merely be-
cause they happen to be stockholders,
nor to pay out eight thousand year
for office rent and fixtures when the
actual work could be done for small
per cent of this expense, but l DO
think that it is needless and incon-
sistent with the welfare of your own
pocket Did you ever think OF it?
If not, pause right now and use up
a little gray matter in ponderlng on
the subject When you have decided
that you do not want to line the other
fellows pockets with your gold while
he rides in his automobile and hires
a clerk to do all the work, just listen
while I tell you how you can get

To Combat the Hessian Fly.

After the Hessian fly has made its
appearance in field of wheat, it can
not be reached by any means likely
to destroy it. All practical measures
for elimination must necessarily be
in the nature of preventives, but the
application broadcast of some quick
acting fertilizer containing large per
cent of phosphate, made as soon as
general infection is apparent, will
cause the plants to tiller more freely
ind give them sufficient vigor to with
stand the winter and thus increase
the number of healthy stems the fol-
lowing spring. The practical remedial
measures are the enrichment of the
soil to increase the vigor of young
plants in order to enable them to with
stand the insects effect; late sowing,
rotation of crops, burning of old stub
BILE and the destruction OF volunteer
wheat. The burning of stubble is the
most efficient measure of all, as fire
will reach and destroy not only the
Hessian fly but all other insects in
| Testing stubble. Fields followed by
grass or clover can usually be burned
over if the grain is cut rather high at
harvest and mower Is run over the
field and the worm grass, weeds and
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-11-01

stubble allowed to dry for a few days
just before the burning. This is a
feasible measure and ought to be more
generally followed. Aside from the
general benefits to be derived from
crop rotation, it compels the Hessian
fly, when it energies from the stubble
to travel greater distance to reach
the young wheat plants. If, during
this season of migration storms or
heavy winds occur, these frail crea-
lures will be driven about or beaten
down until comparatively small num-
Der survive to reach their destination.

with no big salaries, office rent, auto

paid by the year, or any other of these
costly items.
The Patrons of Husbandry Gang
ers) of the state of Washington have
organized a Fire Relief Association,
of which no one but the Patrons can
be a member, and they undertake to
carry an insurance, under the same
rules as other insurance companies
carry it. but at actual cost to the
member, l. e., they charge nominal
sum. two dollars per thousand OF in
surance on most farm property, with
one dollar fee, which goes to the agent
as his pay, and then they issue a pol
icy, good for three years and the pa
tron is then a member of the associa-
ton and liable to an assessment when
money is needed to pay a loss or the
actual expenses of the association.
The members elect twelve directors,
one for each district, into which the
state is supposed to be divided, and
they meet and elect president, Sec
rotary and a treasurer and these d.
rectors, each for his own district, &C
cept or reject any applications sent
in by the several agents. Each SUD
ordinate grange has it's own agent,
who takes applications and sends to
his director, who signs 1t and SENDS
it in to the secretary, who issues a
policy covering the property for which
the application is sent.
In case of a fire loss the agent is
o-d ho sands fnY. tha director
and they two select brother patron
in the home grange, then these three
act as an adjusting committee. Wnen
the report of the adjusting committee
is in. the secretary draws an order
on the treasurer for the amount al
lowed, and it is paid Immediately II
there be enough money in the treasury
for the purpose (Which we always aim
to have), and if not enough he pays
what there is and levies an assess
ment on all members pro rata for
amount of loss and the agent collects
what is due from his grange and
forwards it to the secretary who for
wards it to the treasurer, when the
latter finishes paying the loss and
holds the rest until needed.
The secretary is paid one hundred
dollars a year for his services; the
others officers receive two dollars
each per day and expenses for all time
necessarily spent in the service OF the
of the association. Thus you see the
insurance is as good as the farmers
themselves, and the cost is only the
actual cost of insurance with no high
salaries nor office rent and no large
contingent fund to become a tempta-
ton to trusted employees.
Now, if you feel that you wish to
adopt such an insurance just organize
a grange and get your INSURANCE in
our association. Even if you are al
ready insured in any old line insur-
ance company you can demand your
unearned premium and return your
policy and save enough to pay all your
expenses in our association and have
some left besides.
Our association is growing rapidly
and we invite all farmers to unite
with us in our really mutual insurance
society. When you have decided to
organize a grange write for particu-
lars to our State Master, G. b. kegley,
Pullman Wash, or to myself, Fred w.
Lewis, district deputy, Tumwater,

During peneau's progress In the In.

among the spectators at the double

but he had no compunction. and feit

their lives he would run tho risk OF

ly winding around In Hardy. His
crimes became less bold. and for
time nothing was seen or heard OF
him. until. nt last. his case was
dropped by other Investigators. who
declared that he had quilted the coun.
try.
Suddenly. on n certain day about 4
n. m. Just two months after the execu-
ton Of the two innocent men. Deneau
captured the assassin In the very act
OF numbering a wealthy Englishman.
who was at that time sojourning In
Paris, and who had been cnticcd into
the den OF assassins. After placing La
Hardy in safe.keeping. Dcneau had
summoned his deputies. who were In
waiting. and entering sewer trap In
the heart Of the city they made an un-
dersround passage, and at last came
upon the associates OF La Hardy.
where they had fled for refuge when
their leader was taken.
No one ever knew how Deneau had
effected this brilliant piece of work.
and even his deputies knew none OF
the details until they were face to face
with the assassins.
Deneau would never tell his plaNs.
even to his associates, who were mere
automatons. They were. however. un-
der such perfect control that they nev-
er varied in the least from their lead
er's instructions. and. for that reason.
they seldom failed to bag their game.
The prodigious work of the detec-
tive had gained for him u worldwide
reputation, and his name had sent ter
ror to the hearts of the criminal
classes.
A persistent rumor that powerful
circle of Russian nihilists were hold
ing their secret sessions In the French
capital, had caused the police much
anxiety. Russian spies came In scores
to ferret out the rendezvous Of these
dangerous enemies Of the CZar. and SO
great was the general feeling of alarm
that the patrols had been increased,
and the frontiers OF the empire were
literally picketed with the Cars SOL
diers. . ..
The belief that the Russian nihilists
were gathering in numbers in the city
of Paris had become widespread, and
Deneau was assigned the chief duty
of locating them. In a fortnight. this
daring man had traced them to their
concealed retreat, and after capturing
a score Of men, among whom were the
most dangerous of the terrorist lead
ers, he discovered and laid hands upon
papers which exposed a great con-
spiracy to assassinate the Gar and
many Of his officers on their way to
the coronation.
