Boys under 16 may continue to
smoke cigarettes so far as the house

SHOW BIG GAINS
STATE AND COUNTY MuTuALS
SHOW INCREASE.
INSURANCE RISKS ARE BETTER
Auditor Of State Completes Report
for Year Showing SpIen-
did Condition.

Des Moines.-State and county mr..
tual insurance companies made q
handsome gain of $11,560,326 in risks
written in 1908 as compared with the
year 1907, so the total report com
pleted by Auditor ]. L. Bleakley
shows.
The total losses paid by the state
mutuals was $4S7, 962.6S. But the state
and mutuals combined $977,986.02 AS
sample of what Iowa can do in the
way of tornadoes, one company paid
out losses of $4,000 for tornado loss
es.
The totals for the old-line insur-
ance companies are not complete as
yet.
Certificates are now ready to be
sent to all fire and casualty compan-
les doing business in the state of
Iowa, remittanees and other require
ments having been complied with.
Tabulations of the reports of the
state and county mutual associations
are now complete in the Office Of
State Auditor Bleakley, and while
the increase in risks written during
the year 1908 over 1907 is 81 $780, 1926,
the actual increase in tax revenue to
the state from this source will be only
about $50. The total risks written
during the year 1907 amounted to
$7Z,450,30S and in 1908 $S4,010,634.
Only the state mutual associations
are liable for tax, and the rules of
taxation exempt them from taxes on
returned assessments and allow de-
auctions on account of losses. County
mutual associations are not liable to
tax. These circumstances account
for the small increase in tax on the
amount of risks written.
Companies in Fine Condition.
The state mutual reports show the
amount of risks in force January 1,
1908, $S1,798,132; risks written dur
ing the year, $39,63S,179; risks ex-
pired, s30,627, 497; risks in force jan

$6S, 10; risks expired, $49,073,723
risks in force January l, 1909, $780,

The total of the county and state
mutual organizations had risks in
force January, l, 1908, amounting to
$3.50, 106, 300; risks written during the

Board Asks Bids.

Board Asks Bids.
Bids on clothing and other supplies
that will reach into many thousands
of dollars are asked by the state
board of control, which is complet-
ing its estimates of what the various
state institutions need. The supplies
asked are as various almost as the
sands of the seashore. For instance,
the estimate for the Anamosa reform
atory ranges from 10000 pounds Of
fresh beef, 10000 pounds of pork, to
twelve corsets for women and two
pairs of baby shoes for a youngster
who was born in the woman's de-
partment of the reformatory a few
weeks ago. Iowa firms are always
given the preference in letting con-
tracts. The board spends about 40
percent of the appropriation given it
for employees who resided in Iowa
All the coal comes from Iowa and
whenever it is possible, Iowa bidders
are favored. The estimates as com.
puted are as follows: Anamosa, $14,-
214; Fort Madison, $3.50; Glenwood
home for feeble minded, $2S,S49;
Eldora industrial school, $15,700;
Davenport orphans home, $12,707;
Council Bluffs school for deaf, 1883:
Clarinda hospital, $27,736; Cherokee
hospital, $4,000; Oakdale sanitarium,
$11,043; Knoxville inebriates' hos
pital, $7,7S5; Independence hospital,
$39774; MarshalltoWn soldiers home.
S33,20S; Mitchellville, $S,S7S; Mount
Pleasant hospital, S34,712; Vinton
college for blind. $4,21J. There will be
other supplementary estimates which
will increase the totals considerably.

The Reward Of
Mrs. McCloskey
By A. T. ATCHISON.

McCloskey's boy rose early and ate
hearty breakfast, his mother, who
had provided for the occasion new
laid egg, standing by while he was
disposing of it, accompanied by slices
of buttered toast, and declaring "the
by amt attn enough to feed Il
chicken
The by" enjoyed the experience
IF being coddled-as what boy would
nOt?-and did not hasten his repast.
er he wiped his mouth on the back OF
his hand, stretched himself, and crush
ing his almost brimless hat over his
tangled hair, started off down street,
his mother standing In the door, with
her hand over her eyes, proudly watch
ing him.
He had not passed out of her sight
when little Rose Murray, whom he
had rescued from drowning, attired
rs usual in dainty befrilled garments
espied him, and at once flew to meet
him.
The big boy gasped for breath when
he felt the touch Of the soft fingers,
and glanced down sheepishly from
his coarse blue jeans to her dainty
garments But Rose felt perfectly at
ease, and was evidently proud of &C
companying her hero down stree.

At the beginning of September some
of the petroleum wells fired by vio-
lent thunderstorm near the end of
June at Boryslaw, Galicia, were stiIl
burning, like torch flames 40 or so
feet in height. 1t is said that nos
fewer than five wells are strnck by
lightning every year at Boryslaw, the
cause being ascribed to the obligatory
use of sheet iron coverings for all the
installations. The iron surfaces com
-nunicate with the system of metallic
tubes, thus forming, during a thunder
storm, sort of Leyden jar, which pro-
vokes lightning strokes.
