Lake Andes for few days outing

this outdoor ronghing il will give him
aD appetite and brace him up little.
Tom reported the outlook for the June
primaries as In every way hopeful for
the stalwart cause, last week primaries
showing big inr0ads ON The insurgeut
vote Of two years ago. Tom report 4
that Senator KiLtredge wouia return
To the state early in April and per-
sonaliy take charge OF The campaign
until after the June primaries. He is
also firm 10 the belief that the stall
warts have won and will maintain
control Of the Huron convention.

INSURANCE..
THE beginnings Of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.

THE BeEiuninRs Of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.
The practice of insurance was known
TO the ancients. being in vogue at the
beginning Of the Christian era.
The insurance Of ships was undoubt-
edly part Of the business OF the Hanse-
attic league. which was formed about
114o by the port towns Of Germany 10
protect themselves against the pirates
OF Sweden and Denmark.
The custom OF drawing out ura nee
policies originated in Florence In 1923.
although a regular chamber of insur-
ance was formed AT Bruges early in the
fourteenth century. and the practice
was in general use in Italy in 1894 and
IN England in 1860.
Fire and life insurance IS OF much
more recent origin. Some Of the an
cient guilds provided compep sation for
any Of their members who suffered loss
from IRE, but the insurance OF goods
and houses as distinct branch of bust
ness cannot be traced farther back
;han 1867, the year after the great fire
OF London.
The first regular company. the Hand
INLAND, Was founded Ia 1896. and five
other companies stin existing We're
started in the quarter of a century
which followed. Life Insurance was
first undertaken By the Amicab!s in
1,o6.-London Standard.

Contention Between A. B.
Chase Company and Starr
People Over Use of Name
''Chase" on Pianos.
DISPOSITIONS BEING TAKEN
TO PROVE STARR'S RIGHT.
Contention Grew Out of a Pc
tioion Filed by Local Com
pany in Patent Office for a
Copyright on Name.

A piano war is now being merrily
waged in Richmond. The two con-
testants are the Starr Piano company
OF this city and the A. B. Chase Piano
company of NOrwalk, o. The result
of the controversy means thousands of
dollars gain TO the victor. The war
has resulted from the action of the To-
cal company filing a petition in the
United States Patent department at
Washington, D. c., to have the privi-
lege of using the trademark Chase
on certain make of pianos.
Several years ago the Starr Piano
company absorbed the Chase Piano
company of this city. When the
Starr company presented its applica-
ton for the Chase trademark, the A.
up in arms and filed with the patent
department objections to the petition
on the ground that the Starr company
had not used the name of the Chase
Piano company for over twenty years,
but that in the meantime lne A. b

business and had spent large sums OF
money advertising its pianos. 1t
was argued that ii the Starr company
was allowed to put pianos on the mar
ket under the name of Chase, the A
s. Chase company would be greatly
damaged.
The Starr Piano company contends
that it has used the name OF Chase on
a certain make of pianos for twenty
years past, and that it is entitled to
use the trade mark in question be
cause it controls a corporation Of that
name.
For several days past dispositions
have been taken of local witnesses, the
Starr Piano company desiring to prove
that it has been using the name OF
Chase. These dispositions have beer
taken at the Westcott hotel Patent
attorneys from Washington, New
York and Indianapolis are in the city
Locally the A. b. Chase Piano compa
ny is represented by the legal firm OF
Shiveley and Shiveley. The Starr Pi
ano company is represented by the le
gal firm of Robbins, Starr n Robbins
Mr Shiveley stated today that deposi
tions of witnesses in the case will be
taken at various points Throughout
the country.

Animals That Do Not Grow Thi--t-


There are many different kinds of an
finals in the world that never in all
their lives sip SO much as drop Of
water. Among these are the llamas
of Patagonia and the gazelles OF the
far east. A parrot lived for fifty-two
years in the zoo at London without
drinking a drop of water. and many
naturalists believe the only moisture
imbibed by wild rabbits is derived
from green heritage laden with dew.
Many reptiles-serpents. lizards and
certain ba trachians-live and thrive in
places entirely devoid of water. and
sloths are also said never to drink. An
arid district in France has produced a
race of nondrinking cows and sheep,
and from the milk of the former
Roquefort cheese is made. There is a
species of mouse which has estab-
lished itself on the waterless plains of
western America and which flourishes
Notwithstanding the absence Of mois-
ture.

SUNS FACE WELCOME
People Can Place Preacher
Gus and Uncertain Feet
On Terra Firma.
USUALLY HELPS BUSINESS.

Old Sol peeped forth again today in
all his ancient glory and even the can
didate whose fate hangs in the bal
ance seems glad. The cold wave of
the past week seems broken, and with
another days thaw people may hope
to place their uncertain and treach-
erous feet on terra firma once more.
The sunshine which broke so prom
ising this morning, brought many peo-
pie to town and the merchants have
done a good days business. The rural
route men found no difficulty in per-
forming Uncle Sans business and the
telephone and telegraph wires have
shaken off the sleet and are in work
Ing order again.
The fellow who has done no serious
damage to the sidewalks, begins to
breathe easier and feel that he has at
least another year of life before him.
