Will PREVENT MANY ABUSES
Commissioners of insurance Hartisan
Busy Examining New Blanks for
Standard Form of Policy.

st. Paul-Insurance Commissioner
Hartlgan has been busy for several
days with forms of policies to be used
when the new accident insurance law
goes into effect, July 1. The new
law is intended to provide for STAN
dard forms of accident policies, and
to stop the abuses which some COM
panies have been guilty of.
Rules Are Stricter.
The new law requires the companies
to allow twenty days for filing notice
OF accident, and if conditions make it
impossible to give notice in that time,
more time must be allowed.
The acceptance of a premium rein
states the policy under the new law.
Formerly some companies would col
lect premiums late, and when an acct
dent happened they would refuse to
pay, claiming the policy had lapsed.
Others, again, paid no sick benefits
within thirty days after a premium
past due was paid and accepted.
The new law prevents the deduc-
ton OF advance premiums from the
80 oolhC COlhp1hASo AoSO UCOh
doing, and it provides for the payment
OF benefits for disability when there
has been a change of occupation.
Sometimes if the insured went into a
more hazardous occupation, and was
injured, he received nothing, but now
the benefits will be as large as the
premium would buy in the new occu-
patton, If it is more hazardous than
the old.
Riders Must Be Uniform.
Commissioner Hartigan has recent
ly sent out the forms for the riders,
which may be used on fire insurance
policies. The law relating to riders
on fire insurance policies was amend
ed by the last legislature and the de-
partment will insist upon uniform
blanks being used by the companies.
Heretofore each company has formu-
lated its own riders, the law prescrib-
ing only general restrictions, and it
is said that few companies have
been attaching riders that were not in
conformity with the law.

Mrs. e. C. Dodd.

the Rio Grande by means of a steam
pump.
First Mrs. Dodd enlarged the ir-
rigable tract to 20 acres, all of which
she planted in Bermuda onions. That
was three years ago. Conditions were
favorable, and despite the many diff
culties that had to be overcome, she
marketed the onion crop upon the 70
acres at a net profit of $4,000. Then
she built an electric pumping station
and put in pump with a capacity of
$500 gallons minute. Beside the
1875 acres of onions Mrs. Dodd this
season had about Is acres in grain,
feed and variety of products. Be-
sides furnishing water for this 200
acres of her own, her electric pump
ing plant and system of irrigation pro-
vided water for so additional acres,
which are owned by other persons, a
good revenue being received for this
extra service.
Mrs. Dodd has been doing the mar
keting of her crops through an associ-
alton of growers, but she is not alto
gether satisfied with this plan. 1t is
her opinion, after thorough investi-
cation of the subject that she could
| do her own marketing to better adj
vantage than through the statesmen of
the association. She says that the
commission and other association
charges during the past season
amounted to ten cents a crate of so
pounds. Her expenses from this one
| item alone ran up to more than
$4,000.
The fact that she makes an annual
profit off her farm much larger than
| the salary of most bank presidents
has not caused Mrs. Dodd to adopt ex-
travagant living. She has a pretty
| home in town. 1t is comfortably but
not luxuriously furnished She finds
time outside of her farm work to get
much enjoyment out of social pleas
ures. She has been social favorite
| in Laredo, San Antonio and other
Texas cities for many years. The
onion-growing season is during the
winter and cooler periods of fall and
| spring. This leaves the warmest
months of summer for rest and recu-
peration.
| Before her marriage Mrs. Dodd was
school teacher. She has found that
| her training in the schoolroom is of
much value to her in directing the
work upon the farm. She makes it
| point to investigate thoroughly every
| phase of the business, and to adopt
| the most improved methods of culti-
| waiting and handling the crop. She
knows the analysis of the soil on diff
ferent parts of the farm; she has ex-
| perimented with many other kinds of
products besides onions, and knows
lust what can be grown successfully
upon the farm, and she knows ap-
proximately the cost by the acre of
| cultivating all the kinds of crops to
which the farm is adapted.

The state railroad commission has
issued an order to the commission
men, amending the order made May
1, which required them to report to
the shipper the names of the purchas-
ers Of the produce shipped. This rule
has been in force among grain deal
ers for many years, but the other
commission men who handle hay,
fruits, vegetables and other farm
products, which are sold in smaller
quantities, declared that it would be
impossible to secure or report the
names of all the purchasers Of any
single shipment.
