WAS AN ANIMATED CONTEST
Winners in Nuzum * Sons County
Fair Cement Guessing

Anton Nelson of Viroqua, Route No.

test held at the recent fair by John f..
Nuzum & Son. The contest was based
upon the total shipments of Universal
Portland cement from all plants IF the
Universal Portland Cement Company
of Chicago, Pittsburg and Minneapolis,
during the month of September. The
records produced by the Cement Com
pany show that the shipments in sacks
aggregated 4, 64S $50 sacks. The near
est guess was made by Anton Nelson,
the winner. whose estimate was 4 53i,
629 sacks. The second closest guess
was made by Geo Nelson, Soldiers
Grove, and Levi b Lake Of Viroqua,
whose estimates were 4, 500. 600 sacks
and the winner of the third price vas

The Universal Portland Cement Com
pany offered as sacks Of cement as
prizes to the successful contestants
Very wide interest in the contest and
in the attractive exhibit of John E.
NuZum & Son was shown.
Farmers, as well as city people, are
taking an increasing interest in cement
as they learn more about its uses and
possibilities. Not many years ago
concrete construction was rare except
for sidewalks in the cities; now the
farmer has found that concrete, which
is made simply by combining cement,
sand and gravel Cor crushed stone) with
water, is cheap and 81 everlasting sub
stitute for lumber. Lumber is becom-
ing scareer, higher n cost and after a
few years decays Painting is needed
and expensive repairs must always be
made to farm buildings made of lum-
Der. Concrete has come to take the
place of lumber admirably. The farm
er has found that he can do cement
work himself without the help of ex-
pert contractors and ia a great many
localities the farmers are doing all
their building work with cement. Side
walks, fence posts, feeding floors, silos.
water tr0ughs, tanks, barn floors, cell
lars, milk houses, drain tile, manure
pits, wells, cisterns and foundations
are some of the uses to which the farm.

HEY WIN IMPORTANT POINT
Woodmen Make Ii I'm
comfortable for Head Officers

Insurgent Modern Woodmen won an
important victory on Friday last, when
Judge Shirley in the Sangamon county
court in Illinois, granted their plea for
a perpetual injunction restraining the
head officers from putting into effect
| the proposed rate increase. The decis-
ion affects more than million members
tbroug heut the United States. 1t re-
strains the officers from declaring de-
llnnquent, any member refusing to pay
the new rates. 1t is effective all over
the United States and Canada.
Judge Shirley found that the Modern
Woodmen organization is in prosper
Gus state financially and that any rate
/ advance that may be needed should be
made gradually.
The decision establishes a precedent
/ for all future insurance society cases
as to the right of such societies to
change the character and contract over
which they have issued contracts.
The court held that the society had q
right to create a surplus and change
the rate. On the main point as to the
reason ableness of the rate, however,
he says: ut is not claimed that there
is any present necessity for a raise in
rates, nor DIES any appear. With the
present rate and an average of assess
ments less than IL year, the society
had accumulated in the benefit fund on
December 81, 1911, s.. 073, sol. Is, by
means of the assessments producing
more than the fund required, while in
the general fund there was $500. 933. A.
at is estimated that the proposed
change in rates would produce an accum-
ulation of surplus of from SIS, 900. 600
to $40, 900, 900 year. Certain it is it
would accumulate a very large. sum.
The court is of the opinion no such ac-
cumulation was contemplated by Sec
ton s of the statutes, and that for this
reason the rate fixed by the laws is ex-
cessive and an unreasonable burden
upon compliments and all members of
the society, and not binding on them
Doubtless the head officers, in their
mad determination to force the rate,
will appeal to the supreme court. They
say, however, that no attempt will be
made to place tine new rates in effect
unless the court is reversed.
