Insurance Notes.

The Atlantic Horse Insurance Co.,
Providence, R. l., is soliciting business
by mail. This company is not icens-
ed in this state and should be avoided.
Anyone representing it is liable to
arrest and imprisonment.
This department. has recently ruled
that insurance policies may not be
sold in this state, through the medium
of slot machines.
The Union Central Life Insurance
Co., of Cincinnati, o. has been re-
licened, but instructed that its license
will be cancelled if any apportion-
ment of funds is made to the stock
holders before it is clearly shown that
such funds properly belong to them.
The premiums collected by Life in
surance companies in this state, DUR
ing 1908, amounted to 1924, ,922.12
a gain of $189, ,446 81 over 1907. Taxes
paid by the companies on 1908
business amounted to $145, 5,773.76, a
again of $3,7ss.O1 over 1907.
Uuder date of May 1, the depart
ment has issued an official circular
giving the authorized forms of riders
that may be alta ched to the standard
fire insurance policies.
The element of expense is an i'm
portant one in all forms of insurance,
and particularly so in the Fraternal So
cieties, where the expense of obtain
ing new business is supposed to be
practically eliminated. The depart
ment has recently called the attention
of several Fraternal Societies to the
provision of the laws of this state, for
bidding the use of the Mortuary Fund
for expenses.
Members have the right to know
for what purposes their payments are
being used. In some of the Fraternals
the expense element is very low, in
others it is unwarrantably higg. AS the
control of these societies is in the
hands of the members, this matter
should receive their serious considera-
ton.
The fire losses in Minnesota for
April amounted to $45, 700, as COM
pared with $345, 700 for the same
month IN 1908. The losses in the
United Safes were $17 1880, 900, as COM
pared with $22, 900 in April, 1908.

Good Roads are Narrow Roads

Robert j. Thompson, our consul at
Hanover makes an interesting sug-
gestion concerning the width of high
ways, in connection with his report
on good roads in Germany, says the
Pioneer Press. He says that one rea-
son for the superiority of roads in
Germany is the fact that they are no
wider than is needed. The German
roads average twenty to thirty feet
wide, while those in the western part
of this country are sixty six feet wide.
The roads of Germany are subject to
much heavier traffic than thosein this
country, some accommodating pro-
baby one hundred times the number
of vehicles that pass over the roads of
the United States. Yet it has been
found that width of thirty feet is
ample for first class highway. The
Germans improve their highways the
full width. They do not fix up strip
in the middle and have it bordered by
weeds, ruts and mud holes. And con-
sui Thompson says the best road to be
found in the Middle West is not much,
if any, better than the poorest roads
in Germany.
He suggests that much might be
done by cutting down the width of
the American roadways. He says
there are in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, Ne
braska, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio
approximately 100000 miles of 66-foot
highways If those roads should be
narrowed to 36 feet it would mean a
return to the farmers of 100000 acres,
most of it good tillable land. He fig
ured that if that land is worth 800 an
acre it would mean restoration to
the producing values of the states of
$3.50, 100000, sum that would yield
S12, 500, 900 year in interest, or prac-
tically enough to take care of the
good roads question in those states.
Nearly 800, 900 of those acres would be
worth an average of only $40 an acre
it would mean saving of $4,000, 900.
But aside from the money that the
state would derive from the sale of
waste lands along roadways, the mar
owing off the roadways would be an
advantage. The cost of improve
ment and of maintainence would be
cut down, as we'll as the economic
waste of fertile lands that now are
oyerrun with weeds.

An army leaves the high school and
the university at about this time to
battle with the stern realities of life.
They go forth with an education and
no knowledge of business details to
aid them in the mighty effort they
must put forward to achieve success
and the experience must be gained
later. How well they will succeed
depends on themselves but to our
thinking they must yet pay dear for
experience they could not acquire
earlier in life but equipped with an
education they should not fail as some
of them do and fall down regardless
of the fact that they possess the very
elements of business success. But a
lack of business sagacity and non
adaptibility is the cause of many a
student failing to reach the topmost
rung of the ladder called fame and the
chief pursuit of wealth. Granite

There are probably few more
troublesome weeds in the lawns than
the dandehon. If allowed to stand
they will spread so you can't get a
nice even lawn. When dug out you
often cut the root and they come up
again, besides it hurts the lawn and il
takes lot of work. Our neignbor
found method which was very effec-
tive and I thought too good to keep.
Take some gosoline and put in an oil
can and put three or four drops on
each plant and in few days the plant
will turn black and be entirely dead.
1t will not hurt the grass as it is to be
put only in the center of the plant.
This is very cheap, quick and effective
way to kill this plant.-Canby News

aOWAN STAYS HIS DAUGHTER
Aneered by Attentions Paid Her by
Certain Suitor.

Iowa City, Ia, June 10.-With sin
gle blow of an axe Michael Stigler, a
brewery employe, crushed the skull
of his seventeen-year-old daughter
Lena as she lay sleeping. The girl
cannot live.
Attentions paid the daughter by
William Warnek led to constant quar-
reling in the family. Brooding over
this, coupled with excessive drinking,
caused the crime. Police are search
ing the surrounding country for the
father.
Stigler's body was found later hang
ing by a rope under wagon bridge
near the Rock Island tracks. He had
committed suicide.

Partial Eclipse Of Sun.

The sun will stop shedding much
of it's light in this latitude for little
more than half an hour, late in the
afternoon of Thursday, June H.
The eclipse of the sun will be of
much interest to the astronomers of
the world from the fact that it will,
for few seconds, be annular, then
change to total and then back to an
nular. Astronomers say that there is
no record of any similar occurrence,
! altho there are records of annular
and total eclipses for 400 years. Chi
nese chronology records annular
eclipses thousands of years ago.
Never, however, has there been, SO
far as the records show, an annular
and a total eclipse at the same time.
An annular eclipse is where the shadow
of the moon covers all but small rim
of the sun. In other words, rim of
light shows around it. The phenomenon
occurs in such high latitudes that Min
nesotans will not see either the an
nular or total phase of the eclipse. .
The central line of totality COM
mences southeast of Tornsk in Siberian
Russia, travels eastward and crosses
only few miles south of the north
pole of the earth and skirts the east
coast of Greenland, where totality
ends near sunset.
The eclipse as a partial phase of
greater or lesser magnitude sweeps
over the larger part of the North
American continent, decreasing in
size as it passes down through Canada
and the United States.
Speaking of the eclipses of the sun,
Professor F. P. Leavenworth, in
charge of the observatory at the
University of Minnesota, said:-
"More interesting to astronomers is
the eclipse of the sun which comes
June II. 1t will be both total and an
nular in Siberia, north of the Arctic
circle, the shadow sweeping across
the eastern part of that country, al
most striking the north pole and end
ing in southern Greenland. In south
ern Siberia and parts of Greenland
the eclipse will be annular; in the
Arctic sea it will be total.
''To us in Minneapolis, the sun will
look as though some one had bitten
out about one-quarter of it. 1t will
begin at 6:13p. M, standard time, and
will be visible until just before sunset.
"Those who wish to observe the
phenomena can do so bv merely look
ing at the sun through a piece of
smoked glass; ..

THE ELDEST SON OF HARTMAN

Walter Averell Hartman. eldest
son and heir of the late E. H. Harri
man. is an unassuming youngster, I
years old Although boyish in ap-
pearance. he possesses all the charac-
teristics of one many years his SEN
ior. and for decisiveness and activity
reminds one of his father.
Long since impressed with the re-
sponsibility that would be thrust up
on him, sooner or later. young Har-
riman went about learning railroad
ing. He realized that this could not
be accomplished by taking a seat in
his fathers office. but that he must
begin at the bottom and get techni-
cal knowledge of every branch OF
railroad working. Neither did he
want any fayors because he was the
son of his father.
He simply wanted TO learn the in
tricacies Of the game, and with SUI
veyors of one of the western railroads
he started out carrying the chain.
For some time his identity was un-
known. He was hard at work recent
ly when telegram summoned him
to his family at Arden.
When young Hartman reached
Jersey City he boarded local train !:
he had no use for a parlor car In
his eagsrness to catch the train lie
failed to secure his ticket. and when
approached by the conductor he in
formed him of the oversight His
name. however. was sufficient to car
ry him to Arden. Although he had
been a frequent traveller between Jer-
sey city and Arden he was practically
unknown to the conductors. prefer
ring to present his ticket like any
other passenger and looking for no
favoTs
1t was when the train reached Ar
den that young Hartman had his
first experience with newspaper men.
It was a thing that his father was
accustomed TO for years; but to this
young man IL was something new
His brown eyes sparkled when asked
regarding his future plans, and he
replied:
Il am not yet a public man and
don't think the public would be. in
terested in anything that l would
say"
His modesty showed a few minutes
later when his sister Carol hugged
MIN affectionately. He was as EN-
barrassed as a girl
There is nothing about young Har-
riman to distinguish him from the
thousands of commuters who travel
over the Erie daily He might enter
the offices of his father at 100 Broad
way without attracting any notice.
He prefers blue serge, with ties and
socks of lighter shades. He generally
wears a soft hat, with the brim down
over his face. His hatband of ma
room finds a match in tie and socks.
Tan shoes with silk laces complete
his dress. He has no fondness for
tewelry and wears small, inexpens-
i've scarfpin.
He is about feet I inches tall.
and weighs about 123 pounds.
When asked if he intended to sue .
ceed his father as the moving spirit
in the railroad world. young Harri-
man frankly admitted that he had
only started in the game and that he
had considerable to learn before he
would attempt to tackle any eXecu-
tive position.-Washin Times.
