no company doing business IN the
country today that is on more sound
and substantial basis or is making
larger profits for its stockholders. In
regard to the stock of the Life Un-
derwriters Agency Co., about which
so much has been said in the daily
press, and an attempt made through
it to disparage the insurance COM
pany, the company has the following
to say:
AS to the estimates used by the
Underwriters' Agency Company in
Denver, about which 80 much is said
in the report Of the deputy commits
sioner, and which estimates formed
no vital part of the agency plan there
or elsewhere, it is deemed sufiici ont
to say that, when they were objected
TO-. the agency COMPANY promptly
discontinued them, and no loss of
business resulted thsrsfrom.
"The plan of producing new in
surance business by means of q cor.
porate instead of an individual
agency is not new, nor is it original
with the directors of the State Life
Insurane Company. Such a plan
was adopted some years ago in the
State of Massachusetts, by life in
surance company Of that State with
most satisfactory results. This same
plan has also been adopted by an
Illinois life company, and the laws
Of our own State, years ago, made
provision for the organization of
corporations to solicit insurance.
1.-THE plan Of the corporate agency
is to have the capital stock divided
into small shares, not to exceed SO
or 1926, and to place this stock in the
hands of persons we'll distributed
over a given State or Territory, who
would thus become directly and f.
nancially interested in the sutcess Of
both the agency company and the
insurance company. 1t is readily
seen that every stakeholder Of the
agency company would become q
friend in some sense an agent, Of
the insurance company. With such
corps Of interested friends, who re-
ceive no other compensation than the
dividends on their stock, tho cost of
securing new business can be great
ly reduced, and to secure this end
was the only motive that induced
the directors Of the State Life In
surance Company to Adopt the plan
of q corporate agency"

The factory has issued orders all
along the line of the new railroad
and at other points for the farmers
to commence bringing in all the
beets they can next week when the
campaign will begin at the factory.
The beet dumps will be ready at
all the stations in the county al
that time, and preparations are all
completed for a big run of beets.
The crop everywhere this year is
breaking all records and the factory
is in shape to handle = much larger
quantity each day than they did last
year, SO there is every prospect of q
very successful and satisfactory Sea-
son for all concerned.
From this time ON until January
the sugar beet will be king in the
Arkansas valley, and Prowers coun.
ty with two large factories and an
immense acreage of beets will be
right on top of the prosperity wave.

Once upon time there was des =
ert region in the heart of a great
country. The sun beat down upon
it 80 fiercely that vegetation attained
but q small growth. Dry, warm
winds swept over it; little rain fell,
therefore, crops could not be raised
in paying quantities.
But, river ran right through the
middle of this sterile regions river
that had its source in the great
Rocky Mountains.
The people pondered over the
problem of making living. Some
began to raise stock; few tried and
tried to farm, but a greater number
left the place-left the plsce-left it
under their most whitening msledic-
tions.
Just as circumstances had reached
this deplorable condition a wonder
full event occurred. Hope had raised
her mighty pinions, intending to
wing her way from this desolstion::
Despair was seen circling nearer
and nearer as time passed; when,
suddenly, and with splendor most
of the people had never dreamed of,
there appeared upon the scene, the
spirit of Irrigation.
He touched the banks of the river
and rich, muddy streams flowed out
upon the land making it suitable for
cultivation.
Hope settled down again and fold
ed her wings. The people made an
other great effort in the way of sgri-
culture. Despair vanished below
the horizon, and the spirit of Irriga-
ton stayed and made garden of
the desert.
These people have become
prosperous. They have now all that
modern civilization requires, but
there is danger before them which
they do not seem to see.
Within the last few years, the
sugar beet has BECOME the great
crop. Nothing can beat the beet;
and if the farmers do not let the beet
beat them, the beet here will prob
ably beat any other beet in the
world.
The warning l give is in regard to
the young people. Often they are
kept in the fields early and late
throughout the whole beet season.

children, but this is too much. Why ?
Because, it is too much physical

The Artist and the Monkey.

The friendship berween them came
about in this way: A book was to be
published in which q small gray
monkey played very important part.
The publishers wished to illustrate
the book with many pictures, and he.
cause this artist was known to b. so
fond Of animals that he drew them
better than most others, he was asked
to make these Illustrations. IF
were to mention lis name you would
know at onoe.
He read the manuscript and then
set about finding his models, Men,
women aud children we're at hand to
answer, but whnre was the monkey
to be found?
H. went up to Central Park and
looked AMONG the swinging, chatter
ing, wriukled-faced creatures. Finally
he found one answering to the de-.
soription in the manuscript. In order
to make his drawing before the crowd
Of visitors aooked to tho menageries
he used to get up very early in the
bright spring mornings, sad SO and
sit before the great monkey cage and
make eketSnes of the little creature
in the various queer positions that it
eeemed fond Of taking. -

This frightened the monkey, but after
little faith in his big friend, helped
him to be brave.
The cord WAS cut and found to have

the little one. The artist went at
once to the attendant, who brought

took the little sufferer from his oage.

TWO TROOPERS KILLED
EIGHT ARE ALSO WOUNDED IN
PHILIPPINES.

SAN FRANCISCO, September IA spe-
cial disp atch from Manila says:
In revenge for the punishment inflicted
upon them by the regular troops for the
killing of Lieut.. Roscoe Treadwel of the
Philippine Scouts, the Pulajanes attacked
a detachment of the 24th Infantry (negroes)
on the night of the 10th, and before they
could be driven back they killed two and
wounded eight of the colored soldiers
Early on the evening of the 10th the ban
dts rushed the camp of Treadwel and sue
ceeded in killing the officer The colored
troops came to the rescue and drove the
fanatics from the field, killing and cap
turing a large number.
The 3ath then went into camp near Bara
Leyte. near the scene of the engagement.
The band returned during the night boloed
the outposts and rushed the camp In the
confusion of the darkness the regulars were
badly cut up before they realized that the
Pulajanes were upon them. The colored
troops were attacked in their tents, the ma
tives slashlng the canvas with bolos and
falling upon the sleeping soldiers
The men of the 24th were aroused by the
shouts of their comrades and went into
the fight with their pistols and bayonets
and finally routed the Pulajanes, killing and
wounding many of them.
In the darkness a few Of the Pulajanes
escaped.

CHANGES IN CABINET
TALK OF HOYT AS ATTORNEY
GENERAL MooDY's SUCCESSOR.

The recent gossip about the probable pro-
motion of Attorney General Moody to the
Supreme Court bench to fill a vacancy there
and the transfer of Secretary Bonaparte to
the Department of Justice has failed to
take into account the high regard in which
Solicitor General Hoyt is held by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The opinion was expressed in a well-in-
formed quarter today that any change to
be made in the Department of Justice must
take into consideration the advancement
of Mr.. Hoyt. He had held his present posi-
ton through four administrations of the de-
partment, having been appointed June TO-
1887, when Attorney General McKenna, now
Associate Justice M"kenna, came into Of
flee. He served with Mr.. Mckenna, then
with Attorney General Griggs; next with
Attorney General Knox and now with At
torney General Moody. When >enator Knox
was Attorney General he is said to have
urged the President to appoint Mr.. Hoyt
Attorney General upon his retirement to en-
ter the Senate in place of the late Mat
thew Quay.
The President thought then, as he does
now, that Mr.. Hoyt was especially qualified
for the position, but for political and other
reasons he transferred Mr.. Moody from the
Navy Department to the Department of
Justice
There is plausible ground for the specula-
tive possibility that Mr.. Moody will be
named Tor the supreme court Dencn Snould
Secretary Taft decline the offer of the
vacancy made to him by the President, but
friends of Mr.. Hoyt think II probable that
he would succeed to the vacancy that would
be made. When it was believed that Secre-
tary Taft would accept the offer made him
by the President the understanding was
somewhat general that Solicitor General
Hoyt would be promoted to the place.
In the absence of attorneys General for
nine years Mr.. Hoyt has been the acting
head of that department, and his conduct
of it's affairs has uniformly won him praise.
He is therefore, his friends point out, the
logical possibility when the next vacancy
occurs n the head OF the dena rtment
