Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. May 31.---Iowa property
owners are getting more insurance on
fire losses In proportion to the expense
than In former years. This is equiva-
lent to saying that they are getting
much cheaper insurance than before.
The report of State Auditor Bleakley
from his insurance department shows
this to be true
During the year 1911. the percentage
of losses paid to premiums received. on
Iowa business, of all companies on
business other than life. was 522.
The corresponding percentage on the
1909 business was 29.3.
Last year the companies received in
premiums from Iowa business $500
| 43S and paid losses amounting to $4,-
543,190. Some of the losses paid must
have been, however. on losses
previously incurred and not paid. for
| the total of losses incurred was less
thar the losses paid by over a half
million dollars.
/, If the comparison is on fire insur-
ance only. II is found that whereas the
percentage of losses paid to premiums
received in 1909 was 37.5 for Iowa COM
! panies alone and 25.4 for other than
Iowa companies, yet in 1911 the per-
centages had risen to 424 and 53.S re-
| spectively.
An analysis of these statistics
cleaned from the official records shows
| that whereas formerly the non-lown
companies made much better thing
| off their Iowa business than the Iowa
companies. the situation is now re-
versed and the Iowa companies are
| getting the best OF II. But the figures
also show that the property owners are
! getting a better deal now than they dio
/ before, whether they insure in Iowa OF
| non Iowa companies.
/, These figures may afford some clue
| to the reason for the sudden activity
OF the foreign insurance combine IN

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Our Largest Coin Has Undergone Many
CHANCES Since 1874.

The silver dollar has undergone
many changes since it was put in cir
culation in 1894. On the face Of the
first dollar there was stamped the head
of young woman turned to the right
and with hair flowing as IL she were
in gale of wind. but in 1906 congress
came to her relief and ordered her hair
to be tied up with bit of ribbon. says
the Washington Post. The fifteen
stars which appeared on the first dol
lar were after this reduced to the orig
inal thirteen. in recognition of the
number of states.
In 1886 the design was again changed,
and the dollar bore the figure of wO-
man dressed in flowing garment.
The designer forgot. however. to put
in the thirteen stars, and the coin WAS
discarded. the new design having the
woman surrounded by stars Her hair
was defiant and stiff looking. and in
