THE GOOD-NATURED MAN

You may sing the praises of the men
of might.
And the heroes brave and strong;
The men who win in the long-drawn
fight
OF the Right against the Wrong;
You may laud the fellows who do great
things,
From Jewry to Japan
But here's to the man who smiles and
sings
The glad, good-natured man.
Yes, here's to the man with kindly
face,
And a gentle, patient soul;
The man who can win or lose the race
With a perfect self-eontrol:
He's the jolliest fellow in all the land,
And he always leads the van
This human saint with a world of
sand
The strong, good-natured man.
He's right on deck with a word of
cheer,
And helpful lift for all;
And the touch of his hand will Danish
fear,
When your dropping spirits fall;
He's an inspiration, help, host,
And he makes you think you can,
When you're down and out-and lick
ed-almost-
The brave, good-natured man.
He's richer far than the millionaire;
He's mighter than the king;
His heart is happy and free from care,
And his voice has jolly ring;
He's the strongest, noblest, best of all,
Whatever his creed or clan
So here's to the man no ills appall---
The grand, good-natured man.

Insurance notes.

Certain fire insurance companies
have recently been adding hail rider
to their tornado policies. In many
cases the companies are not author
lied by their charters to write hail
insurance and the department has
ruled that such companies must no
longer attach those riders.
The Union Central Life Insurance
Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, pro-
poses to increase it's capital stock
from 100000 to $500, 200, the 100000
additional being taken from the sur
plus of the company. The company
claims that this surplus has been con-
tributed by the non participating
policy holders, although in 1907 the
Actuary of the company testified be-
fore the Joint Legislative Investi-
eating Committee of Wisconsin that
up to 1905 there had been loss on
the participating business of
$4,000 1t would appear, therefore,
that profits of practically $5OO,0oO
must have been made on the nom
participating business during the
years 1905, and 1906 and 1907. This
department has protested against this
increase of capital stock and will
use all means in it's p over to prevent
it.
The Home Life Insurance Company
of New York also proposes to in
crease it's capital stock from $125,000
to $5O0,00O. The management pro-
poses to sell this new capital stock to
present stockholders at par. The
company has paid IL per cent annually
on its stock since organization. While
this is an excellent scheme for the
stockholders, this department has
been unable to see thatany advantage
will accure to the policy holders and
has protested against this increase.
Similar action will be taken as in the
above case.
The Attorney General has ruled that
no riders may be alta ched to the
Minnesota Standard Fire Insurance
policy except those that are specific
ally provided for by law. Companies
violating this provision are guilty of
gross misdemeanor.

Commissioner of Insurance.

MILL ENGINE WRECKED.
Mill Closed and May Remain Closed
Permanently.

The engine which furnishes power
for the Morris City Mills and elevator
was on Saturday wrecked by water in
the cylinder, the engineer having
neglected to drain the cylinder be-
fore starting the engine. The engine
will have to he replaced with a
new one or sent to the factory to be
rebuilt, and Mr.. Stewart has decided
not to go to this expense and start
the mill again until he obtains relief
from the excessive taxation on the
property.
Mr.. Stewart, with his accustomed
energy, obtained a traction engine
Immediately after the accident, and
soon had it attached to the elevator,
and was able to continue buying grain.
He has ordered a motor which he
will install to run the elevator, and
obtain his power for this from the
electric light plant.
Mr.. Stewart has been considering
shutting down the mill ever since the
valuation was made a year ago last
spring. He went before the council
and succeeded in having the valua-
tion reduced, but the county board
again raised it this summer. The ac-
cident has had the effect of closing
the mill, and Mr.. Stewart has decided
not to reopen it until the taxation
matter is adjusted.
The closing of this mill is a mis-
fortune to. both the city of Morris
and Stevens county. In this city, it
has furnished employment for the
heads of several families, being the
principal manufacturing establish
ment of the city, and to the farmers
of the vicinity it has meant thousands
of dollars annually on account of the
excellent market furnished here for
grain, and it's being closed down will
be a corresponding misfortune to
the city and country.

Lester George BOedecker:

The following obituary notice of
Lester Boedecker, is contributed: -
Lester George Boedecker, youngest
child of VIM. and Tillie Boedecker,
was born on the 21st day of July 1896,
in Pepperton township, Stevens Co.,
Minnesota and died at 7 O'Clock
September 7th. 1908, having attained
the age of twelve years, one month
and sixteen days. Until his final sick
ness he hardly knew what it meant
to be i'll and he always appeared to be
healthy and full of life. Last week
Thursday he began to complain of not
feeling we'll but nothing serious was
expected, Friday morning he was up
and around as usual but later in the
day he laid down to rest. Even
Saturday morning he felt we'll enough
to be around but was overtaken by
sudden pains while out of doors and
had to be carried into house and plac-
ed into bed from where he never
arose. He recovered slightly but
then again failed rapidly and medical
aid was hastily summoned. The
doctor pronounced the sickness, spinal
meningitis. From Sunday noon on
the patient suffered most severely
and altho everything possible was
done to relieve him he suffered much.
All Sunday night and Monday he
found little rest, Monday afternoon
at about four o'clock he was taken
with convulsions which continued
until about seven O'Clock in the even
ing when his spirit left the pain
stricken body, at the call of the Great
Creator, to take his place among
those who await the final coming of
Christ. Lester Boedecker was known
by all in our community as he has al
ways lived here and has been a re-
gular attendant of the Sunday school
and church.
Decease d leaves his father, mother,
one brother Henry, two sisters,
Florence and Bertha, besides his
many relatives and friends to mourn
his early death. The entire COM
munity sympathizes deeply with our
brother and sister Boedecker and
their family.

NEW VARIETY OF RYE.
Distributed I'm Small Lots to Far
mers of State.

A new variety of winter rye called
Minn. No. 2 has been originated by
the Minnesota Experiment Station,
and is now ready for distribution.
This rye was obtained by selection
from the Swedish rye and is an ex-
ceptionally high yielder. The aver
age yield upon the station grounds
for the past years is 4O.4 bushels per
acre, while The average yield of other
varieties for the state in the same
time was 1872 bushels per acre. One
field of 1,9 acres yielded 4s bushels
per acre this fall.
The grain of this new variety is
plump, and much larger than the
varieties commonly grown. The
straw is stiff, tall, and stands up we'll.
, A few bushels were distributed for
trial throughout the state last year in
order that yields might be compared
under farm conditions with the COM
mon varieties. The returns from the
entire acreage show that Minnesota
No. 2 averaged 27.2 bushels per acre
; while other rye grown under similar
conditions averaged 17.7 bushels per
acre.
Method of Distribution.
Minnesota No. 2 rye is offered to
the farmers of the state in two to five
bushels lots at the price of $1.25 per
bushel including sacks. Seed will be
supplied either by the station Or by
farmers who have co-operated with
the station as seed growers. Com
munications in regard to the rye
should be addressed to Andrew Boss,
