The managers Of American frater-
nal insurance societies are showing
good sense in adopting plans for max
ing their rates adequate to meet their
future liabilities.
Eight million people of America
carry nearly ten billion dollars OF
fraternal insurance. In the past the
rates of most of the societies have
not been sufficient to guarantee the
person insured that his estate would
collect the face value Of his policy at
his death. A movement for higher
rates has been gaining Roadway for
several years. and it is to be hoped
the discussions in the two conven-
tions this year will result in the much
needed rate reform.
Insurance is one of those things
for which cheapness is not necessar-
fly a good argument. The rates Of
each company or society must be such
that it will receive from its policy
holders sum of money sufficient.
with the interest, to meet the pay
ments which the company promises to
make when the policy natures or
when the policyholder dies. If
company's rates are less than the ex-
perience of a hundred years has dem
onstrated to be necessary, there will
come a day sooner or later when that
company will be called upon to pay
claims which it has no funds to meet.
The fraternals have been the worst
low-rate offenders in the United
States. Their managers owe it to
their 100000 policyholders to put
their concerns on a legitimate basis.

Barn BURNED ON
DEANS PLACE
Lightning Struck Structure Near Des
Moines River Bridge and Flames
Razed it to the
Ground.
LIVE STOCK WAS SAVED
Farmers Nearby Lena Willing Hand
in Saving Other Property
Illumination Seen for
Miles Around.

Lightning struck large barn on.
short distance from the Des Moines
river bridge, last night between the
hours of 10 o'clock and IL, and fire
which followed, RACED it to the ground.
Valuable live stock was narrowly
saved from being consumed by the
flames. The owner, assisted by will
ing neighbors. rushed the animals
from the structure, in time to prevent
further loss. After doing this they
valiantly set to work protecting small
adjoining buildings and the damage
was reduced to a minimum under the
conditions.
The surrounding country for several
miles was illuminated by the big blaze.
The light in the western sky result
ing from it could easily be discerned
by people on Main street and on the
north side of town, while a fine view
of it could be obtained from the river.
1t is believed that the lightning
struck almost squarely in the middle
of the barn. The crash was heard and
the flames which sprung up immed-
lately attracted the tenant, Perry
Dean and a half hundred excited
neighbors, who gathered from mile
and more, around, in the driving rain.
1t was seen Immediately that the
structure was doomed to entire de-
struction and the live stock that was
being housed for the night was inn
mediately rushed from under the
burning roof. They were brought out
none too soon, for few minutes later
part of the roof toppled in.
/ A corn crib and another small barn
near the burning barn were saved. The
barn WAS partially filed with hay,
which fed the blaze. 1t is about Sex
20 feet, and is situated about 200 feet
from Mr.. Deans house. The land is
that which formerly comprised the old
Harry Fulton place and owned now by
the Misses Hinman, who carried in
surance on the property.

Light Towers.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Fairfield is
going to do away with her electric
light tower. Some twenty-five years
ago such towers were quite popular
and people believed that in some mys-
ferious fashion this kind of an illumi-
nation really illumed. The light was
seen by passengers on trains that
sped by the city, and it probably
amused the children on the farms far
from the towns. Bnt, as far as light
ing the respective towns, the towers
were never a genuine success. There
was always much shade that could not
ne penetrated and that seemed to be
intensified by the tower lights. In
stead OF concentrating the lights in
one tower they are now distributed
throughout the widest area practicable
ana the result proves much more sat
lsractory Ere long the last of the
lowers will be consigned to the scrap
pile
