SOME STARTLING FIGURES

Having carefully figured it out. we
find that if all the cattle consumed in
the United States annually were one
COW, she would browse on tropical
vegetation near the equator, while her
tail was switching icicles off the North
Pole: and that, if all the hogs we
slaughter annually. were one hog, that
animal could dig the Panama Canal
in two roots and half. and its squeal
would be so loud it would jar the auro-
ra borealis. Just now our Mathematl-
cian- In Ordinary is calculating pre-
cisely how many battleships of the
Dreadnought type could be fioated in
the TANSAN consumed by the Amer
lean, British and Japanese navies in
the past six months. In the meantime

Cancva, S. D., Feb. 6.-Because it
took advantage of q technicality to

the Maryland Casualty company will
lose it's right to do business i'll South
Dakota.
When burglars blew the safe Of the
Canova bank, November z last, APP
pli&aton was made for payment OF the
burglary insurance policy written on
the bank. The policy was for $4,000.
and the thieves obtained s6,2OO in cash
from the safe and did $500 of damage
to the building. Thus the bank con-
fidently expected it would receive ST.
900 on the policy.
When the adjuster arrived, Cashier
Beveridge told him of $1,000 which the
banks books said We're in the safe,
but which had been concealed in the
saved. The adjuster then asked in
what part of the bank safe the silver
had been put, remarking it made no

o. S. Basford, commissioner of In
surance. advised the bank that suit
could not be brought in this state. be-
cause the Maryland Casualty COM
pany had not made a deposit of S20,-
900 with the state, as required by
law. The company, 1t was stated, had
obtained a year ago a license to do
casualty business, for which no de-
posit is required. Nevertheless, the
company did considerable business in
burglary insurance, written from the
outside.
Commissioner Basford was informed
by the president of the company that
his company had not complied with
the law requiring a $4,000 deposit be-
fore engaging in burglary, surety or
employers liability insurance business
in the state. because he didn't like the
law.
BY writing business from outside the
state, the company also avoided the
South Dakota law taxing insurance
companies 2h per cent of their pre-
MUM receipts in the state.
Commissioner Basford announces the
company will receive no kind Of a
license this year, to do business in
