PUBLICITY In
LIFE INSURANCE
VALUE OF PUBLICITY REcoGNIZ-
ED BY NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
OF UNDERWRITERS SAYS REP
REsENTATIvE OF BIG fNsuR-
ANcE MAGAZINE, HERE TODAY

Reports indicate that this year wflB
be very satisfactory one for life in~
surance companies. Conditions gem
orally throughout the country are very
encouraging" said w. G. Grigsbyv
representative of The Insurance Field.
one of the largest insurance. newspa-
pers in the Unitd States. who Is here
from Louisville, visiting the local
companies.
There is very little complaint from
agents and the annual reports will
show many substantial gains in ths
business written. 1t is rather remark
able, too, as election year has hereto d
fore been looked upon as a bad one
for writing insurance, but this time
the agents have not encountered tha
dull season and a big record Is antic-l
ipated.
''One factor in this result is that the
life insurance companies have been
encouraging an open policy of public-I
ity and education. At the recent meet Il
ing OF the National Association OF
Life Underwriters, held at Memphis.
an organization composed of the most!
country, a special committee was
elected to encourage and foster pub
licity The association will conduct
a vigorous campaign OF education for
the purpose OF securing the confidence
of the public and spread the doctrine
and necessities of life insurance pro-
lection. w. M. Horner of Minneapolis
was made chairman OF the committee.

BOYS CORN Won
AT EXPOSITION
HIGHLAND COUNTY YOUTH TOOK
CHAMPIONSHIP IN CORN GROW
Z ING IN THE STATE-WoN
SWEEPSTAKES FOR N. D.
+ GROWN CORN.

: A Richland county boy took the
championship in corn growing at the
industrial exposition. His ten ears
were grown in Richland County School
Corn Contest. They won first prize
in the school contest, also won out
over. the farmers at the Richland
County fair. superintendent Barnes
sent them to the Industrial Exposition
where they were awarded first place
in the class for Minnesota No. 13 and
also sweepstakes as the best corn at
the Exposition. The Richland County
boys also won first prize for the
seventy best ears Of corn. -.
The boys have certainly made great
progress in corn growing. There were
las entries in the Boys school corn
contest for Richland county. and they
were well selected. The writer has
never seen so we'll selected corn eX-
hibited either by boys or men. This
means that there are 14S boys on that
many farms in Richland county who
know how to select corn, who know
what constitutes a good ear of corn.
They have also been apt pupils in
learning how to grow it.
There were $50 boys in the corn con-
test and 1t is likely that a good many
more OF these are as proficient in corn
-
but some accident may have happened
to the corn---the cows may have got
ten out-the hogs may have eaten it,
or perhaps the encouragement from
the father was not such as it should
have been
Supt. Barnes, in pushing this corn
growing, has done much for the farm
ing in the county. When he started
Ave. years ago there were about 10000
bushels of corn grown. In 1911, after
five years of school boys corn contests.
this has been increased to 2,000,0 900
bushels. When he started there was
practically no Minnesota No. 1S. In
1911 there were at least 100000
bushels of it raised in the county. The
boys corn patches have grown to corn
fields. 1t is not only the value of the
corn but the good results corn has
had on the following crops of grain,
which makes this work important,
Prof. Randlett of the Agricultural
College is very enthusiastic over the
corn growing contests which he has
been pushing all over the state. In
Richland county the Importance of the
work mas been we'll demonstrated. 1t
has added many thousand dollars to
the products of the farmers. 1t has
laid the foundation for a greater sue
| cess in farming in all the years to
come. It has given the boys good
beginning in the science of growing
and exhibiting corn.
| Thus thorough cooperation of the
Agricultural College Extension Depart
ment. Superintendent of Schools, and
| the school boys new era has been
brought about in Richland county
farming.

$4,000 FIRE
At HENSLER.

Mandan. n. D., Nov. 9.-The big
ber Co., together with the stock of
lumber and machinery were almost
totally destroyed by fire.
The origin of the fire is not
known. but 1t is believed to have been
caused by the explosion of lamp
in the office. c. +, Massingham and
August Beaudoin, who have been in
charge had just sat down to supper
at the hotel when the fire was dis
covered, and before they could reach
the place it had gained such headway
that it was beyond control of the
meagre fire fighting force. Messrs.
Beaudoin and Massingham spent their
evenings at the Office on the books and
as was customary left the lamp lit
and went TO supper. There was no
other way In which the fire could have
started and the suposition is that the
lamp exploded. G sM.
The buildings and stock were valued
in the neighborhood of $40, 1000 on which
there was an insurance OF $23,200.
There will be small salvage from a
few piles of lumber that did not burn.
The Hensler Lumber Co. started
business nearly two years ago, and
have done good business, especially
this summer and fall Plans are un-
der way for an Immediate resumption
OF business, and new buildings will be-
erected and stock of lumber and ma
chinery put in. The HensIer Lumber
Co. has been buying big quantities OF
grain this fall and the first attention
will be given to provide facilities for
| taking care of the grain that will come
| in this fall and winter.

PAUL GILMORE in HAVOC

The Moose Jaw News had the fol-
lowing about the Havoc. which is to
be at the Fargo operahouse Monday
night: ..a.. -
The Havoc is quite suggestive
name and Paul Gilmore is still more
suggestive now to Moose Jaw theatre
goers. His appearance last night was
greeted before a packed house, and
with q clear decisive plot and magni-
evenings which cultured people love,
was enjoyed. AS Richard Craig, in
The Havoc, Paul Gilmore more than
lived up to the advance notices and as
he himself admitted, was at the top of
his form in spite OF the fact that he
had been travelling with his COM
pany for a day and night.
The plot, and 1t was quite the most
important part of this society drama,
concerned itself with the eternal and
ever green triangle, the woman, the
man and the other man. The other
man wins the first round with the
husband coming back smiling in the
second and winning hands down in the
third. The woman, around whom the
triangle of fate is woven, the mans
wife caught the sympathy OF the audi
ence from the first and never lost 1t
for a second
Miss kathryn Hutchinson, in the
part of Mrs. Craig played strongly
throughout and helped to keep the
play ur, to the Paul Gilmore standard
w. De We're did not have the sym
pathy Of the onlookers which is quite
according to the part OF Paul Hissert
the other man.
1t was a fine play, with a well defiin-
ed motive and never was dull for q
minute. # t.t4. n#

PYTHIAN HOME COMING

Il All knights of Pythias in Fargo,
next Monday night, whether brothers
Of Fargo lodge No. 2, or not are ex-
pected to be at the castle hall next
Monday night at $50 o'clock and join
in meeting which will be in the
nature Of a reception to visiting
brothers, and a reunion of the local
members. Supper will be served at the
time stated and there will be no form
be nothing whatever to prevent any
knight in the city from joining in the
festivities Of the occasion.
The circular announcing this even
ing of entertainment says in part as
follows:
aThe officers of the lodge. acting as
the committee in charge of this meet
ing, have arranged for dinner to be
served at $3.50 p. M, during which
music will be provided. and after
wards several addresses will be made.
Grand Chancellor Dinnie OF Grand
Forks and Grand Keeper of Records
and Seal Wolbert of Bismarck have
already accepted our invitation to be
present, and through the courtesy Of
Past Grand Chancellor Ward OF Min
Ylesota, Grand Chancellor Atwood of
Minnesota. the blind optimist, prom
ised to be present and will deliver one
OF his famous lectures. probably one
on Fraternalism. We may say paren-
theticalIy that he is coming at no ex-
pense to this lodge as all expenses will
be borne by himself and Brother Ward
The fact that Pythians from another
state and under absolutely no obliga
ton to us, are willing to do so much
for the good Of the lodge is worthy
of deep consideration and should per-
haps lead some of us to wonder IL we
were doing exactly our share In help
ing to maintain our own lodge.
I'VE also expect to have with us
two pass grand chancellors While
the programme is not fully fixed as
yet we think we can promise you an
evening Of entertainment that you can
