Did You Buy From The
Company or Agent?

Did you buy your insurance from
the agent or from the company that
issued the policy? When buying did
you keep before you the fact that any
claim made by the agent was OF no
effect unless written in the contract
signed by the officers OF the Company,
and did you examine the contract be-
fore accepting 1t and see that the
agents promises were written In 1t?
If you bought with your eyes open
and got what the agent led you to
expect, you have no ground for just
complaint, Notwithstanding the fact
that you have not got the best there
Is in Tife insurance unless your policy
was issued by the MUTUAL BENE-
FIT. II you have not bought life in
surance or want more, 1t is your priv
ilege to satisfy your own mind as to
whether or not my claims as to the
Mutual Benefit being the BEST COM
pany and issuing the Best policy is
true If you are not satisfied that 1t
comes nearer meeting your ideas
than any other you will not be urged
to buy Neither the company nor its
agents try to force themselves where
they are not wanted. They don't
have to.

THE NOXIOUS WEEDS.

The Evening Times has repeatedly
called attention to the Importance of
enforcing the law of this state in ref
erence to the destruction of noxious
weeds. While it is supposed that laws
which are so clearly for the public
good as the one referred to are en-
forced without question, it is regret
table fact that this one receives no
more than perfunctory enforcement

There is not more beneficial agri-
cultural law on the statute books and
none which should he given more at
tention by the farmers themselves. In

culture and its allied interests clean

Henrietta ('rOssn,an.

Henrietta Crossman, greatest of
actresses and probably the
most eminent comedienne on the mod
ern stage is proud of her popularity
with her own sex. In New York Miss
Crosman is probably the biggest matt
nee favorite Of any player. man or
woman who appears on Broadway. In
the phenomenally long runs she has
made in Mistress Nell" "As You
Like It," Sweet Kitty Bellairs," and
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" she
rarely escaped matinee without be-
ing called upon for speech. She took
this as tribute from her own sex,
as matinee audiences are largely COM
posed of women. and she felt fiattered
by this evidence Of esteem. Miss Cros-
man is ready and witty impromptu
speaker. In the hundreds of addresses
she has delivered over the footlights
not one word was thought Of moment
in advance. Those who have heard
her address audiences know her man
ner of coming smilingly to the foot
lights and in conversational tones
which seems to imply a friendliness
with the assemblage, uttering a few
bright remarks, usually based on some
incident of the occasion. During one
of her runs in New York there was a
period of three months in which Miss
Crosman was actually compelled to
make speech at every matinee. The
audience would not let the perform
ance proceed until she had said some
thing to them, and she confesses that
the insistence shown on these occa-
sions catered to her pride.

they reduce the value not only by the
expense of removing them but in the
marketing and handling of the crop.
Once the weeds have secured a hold
upon farm they never run out as do
the grains; neither do they suffer from
any plant diseases which have any
perceptible effect in killing them.
They thus have an advantage over the
crops and in few years are masters
of the farms. Nature has generously
equipped many of them with the
means of distributing their seeds over
large areas with the aid of the winds.
The form of the matured stalk and
branches of the tumbling weeds will
do more in one year to distribute the
plant than man could do in twenty.
The law of this state contemplates
the cutting of the weeds before they
have matured so that the wind cannot
aid in this distribution. There are
provisions for the cutting of the weeds
along the public highways and rather
severe penalties for the neglect of the
duty placed upon road supervisors. 1t
is fully as strict in reference to the
destruction of the weeds on the farms.
In this instance the owner is held
responsible and is liable to punish
ment if he neglects to destroy any
which he may have permitted to grow
upon his lands.
The time limit in which weeds must
be destroyed under the provisions of
the law is nearly past. 1t is likewise
true that the seeds of many of them
will soon be sufficiently matured that
they will terminate and produce a
larger and ranker crop next year.
1t is therefore important that every
farmer makes an especial effort to
comply with the provisions of the law
and destroy all those found on his lands
not only because the law requires it.
but because it is for the general good
of the farmers of his vicinity, and
ultimately of the entire state.

THE RUSSIAN LAND BILL.

The so-called land bill recently in
PRODUCED in the Russian douma seems
to be sincere effort to solve what is
probably the most serious and perhaps
the most difficult industrial and social
problem that confronts the govern
ment of that empire at the present
time. The message of the car accom-
panying the measure, with its profess
sions of devotion to the popular veal,
may have little effect upon men who
have learned to interpret such things
as mere formalities. But the specific
terms of the proposed law will COM
mand serious interest.
1t is first provided that all the
arabic state lands shall be sold to
peasants in small lots on easy terms.
1t is rightly held that the forests
should be retained as forests, for the
general good of the country. Next, the
government is to purchase all the pri-
vate lands which may be offered by
their present owners, and resell them
in like fashion to peasants, even
though sometimes at a loss to the
state.
In order to guard agains 1.-THE re-
transfer of lands from peasants to
mobiles and the recreation of large
estates. it is provided that land once
owned by peasants can never be alien
ated from that class of owners, but if
sold by peasants must be sold to other
peasants. 1t is also provided that
peasants land cannot be seized for
debt.
Finally, on the ground that there
is not enough land in European Rus
siaHforsall the people, the bill offers
facilities for migration to Siberia, and
prescribes that in case peasant pro-
prietors thus migrate from European
Russia the government shall take
charge of the lands which they leave
and sell them, for their benefit. to
other peasants.
These, in brief, are the salient feat
ures of the new measure intended to
allay the growing feeling of discomfort
on the part of the peasant class of
Russia. Probably its provisions will
not suit those extremists who have
been clamoring for naturalization of
the land or for the confiscation of all
landed estates without indemnity and
their gratuitous distribution among
the moujiks
In some details it may not please
even the constitutionalists, who have
committed themselves to the plan of
enforced appropriation of private
lands, though with indemnity. But in
the main its provisions will probably
be regarded by many judicious and
impartial men as decidedly hopeful and
suspicious, and worthy, though per-
haps with some additions or modif1ca-
tfons, to receive hearty support as the

ADVERTISING THE CROP.

Unless some unforeseen disaster
should intervene between this time
and harvest the state will have the
greatest crop ever harvested. 1t is
not matter of locality, but from
every portion OF the state, with the
possible exception of few places in
the Red river valley, the reports are
the same. The season has been al
most perfect for all the land outside
the valley. There has been abundance
of rain and so distributed that it has
simply kept the crop on the constant
jump, and the size and vitality of the
growing grain is noticeable every
where.
There has always been something
of prejudice among the farmers of
the state against the correct report
ing of good crops on the grounds that
such reports anticipate the markets
and with the prospects for a large
crop and consequent large supply, the
price can be kept down. This would
be worthy of serious attention if the
reports had any effect upon the mar
kets or if the wheat ring, which so
far as the northwest is concerned fixes
the price, depended upon local reports
for their estimates of the crops. The
truth is that their own experts make
the estimates and so far as their re-
ports influence the markets, these re-
ports do that.
The crop in this state depends upon
two conditions-the acreage and the
yield. So far as the individual farmer
is concerned. the large yield is what
most concerns him. 1t is this which
makes the profit for him. 1t is this
source of revenue which has given the
people of this state the position they
have as the richest class of farmers
to be found in the world.
But as state seeking to attract the
attention of the world to itself because
Of its immense crops the question of
acreage is decidedly material. The de-
velopment of the new farms in the
western counties of the state and con-
version of them into wheat producing
areas will have large effect upon the
total wheat crop of the state. There
are this year thousands of acres of
land sown to wheat which have been
taken from the raw prairie within the
last few years and which in many
instances is yielding the first wheat
crop.
With these two elements combined
in the present crop the state will be
able to make the greatest showing as
wheat and other cereal producer of
any similar area on the face of the
entire globe. If it can do this it would
seem that people seeking to locate
In a land where the opportunities of
acquiring wealth are most easily
available would rush to the state and
that the tide of immigration which
has been diverted during the last few
years to the lands farthest north
would turn toward our own borders.
incidentally, this state needs more
citizens. 1t needs them until every
tillable quarter within it's borders is
converted into a wealth producing
farm. The present crop, if nothing
should prevent it's harvesting, will be
the greatest advertiser the state ever
had, and it should be heralded abroad
in thunder tones.
