STATE HAD INSURANCE.

There Is likely to be a demand at
tho approaching session Of the state
legislature for some changes in the
state hail insurance law, as the Law.
as IT stands does not give full sa~tisfac-
fion. Fol- one thing. the method Of
checking up losses and apportionins
The proceeds OF the premiums is gem
orally cubersome and slow. Men who
have lost their crops by hall need
early settlement, and under the Pres
en- law settlement has been delayed
this year until we'll into the winter,
and there Is no assurance that this
viii not be the practice IN the future.
There arc too many people whose
reports must be waited for to insure
prompt settlement.
The method Of p%ro-ratins payments
Is quite usual with mutual compan-
fcs. but there is more or less objection
To 1T, Tho chief purpose in insuring
anything Is to obtain security agains,
loss. or at least security for a known
proportion destroyed. The pro rata
system does not give this. A mar may
insure his crop and Pay his premiums,
but the sum which he will receive
cannot be known until all the losses
are. known, and then the payments
are greater or less. according to the
number and extent Of losses. OF
course the plan Of making fixed pay-
nlents for stated losses could not be
adopted without going onto the old
line" plan of insurance, which would
involve the creation Of a considerable
surplus to provide for unexpectedly
large losses in any particular year.
Possibly this is not practicable at this
time, but this and a number Of other
features Of hail insurance In general
will command the attention Of the leg
3slators.

chester and Big Business.

George Randolph Chester, like many
other VOL known writer's. began his
literary career as a writer for the
newspapers. During his reportorial
days. he covered many assignments
In which big business principles were
Involved. and he handled these so
successfully that he became q financial
editor. But there was another and
more pleasant department Of news
paper work for which Mr.. Chester
was eminently fitted, this being special
feature writing. He was accordingly
placed In charge Of the Sunday maya
zine section. Here he had wide lati-
tude. and in securing data for special
articles often reverted to some Of the
experiences he had had az q financial
editor. These were changed about and
treated humorously. and while the UNI
dercurrent OF fact was lost sight
Of. they were az entertaining es though
they had been fiction.
When he turned his attention to
story writing he saw the chance to
utilize this material as the foundations
for plots. and today his humorous
stories Of big business enterprises are
known wherever English Is read. His
satire 10 keen and has been given free
rein In his latest story. The Jingo.''
