w. w. King, secretary Of the North
Dakota Retail Merchants association
which held a convention in this city
a day or two ago, was asked to pre-
pare an article on mutual fire insur-
ance for the late convention and he
did so. Mr.. King resides in this city,
and the article will be read with mucn
pleasure. II is as follows:
,"T have been asked to write on Nut
ual Fire Insurance and Whom IL
Should Interest. This may seem
strange to the average man to say,
whom it should interest" but 1t is
a we'll known fact that a great many

Duluth Cash Close
Chicago Wheat.

Chicago. July 12.-Further liquida-
ton in wheat on the opening and later
brought prices to a new low level.
The exceedingly favorable weather
map in wheat and generous rains
throughout the corn belt created much
bearish sentiment. Country offerings
principal cash handlers claimed they
had expeort bids in hand, but that
country offerings had entirely dried up
n same could not be filed. AS a re-
suit exporters were reported to have
bought the futures. The sea-board re-
ports heavy freight engagements even
at the extreme advance. Local senti-
ment continues unanimously bearish.
The short interest is very large and
After such an our of cleaning it GER
tainly appears probable that further
short selling is an exceedingly hazard
Gus proposition. We believe present
prices are attractive and that good re-
action is long overdue.
Corn-Heavy general rains through
out the belt caused liquidation of com
mission house holdings on the opening
and shortly afterward and prices work

east Is going to take advantage of the
light receipts and the break in futures
to make purchases. We favor await.
ing good reaction before again makine
sales.
Oats followed corn, breaking badly
and recovering partially, closing witt

Chicago MOODY
SCHOOL GROWING

The Moody Bible institute Of Chi

the United States, and in fact, the
world.
A great city like Chicago, with it's
100000 Bohemians and Poles, 100000
Jews, AGO. 900 Germans, $4,000 italians,
and people of all nationalities. affords
a real home and foreign mission field
for practical christian work.
The policy Of the institute is such,
that the students who go there for free
training in the English Bible and COS
pei music, both men and women from
all parts Of the world, are required to
90 to different parts of Chicago each
week. visiting the jails, hospitals
bridewell and MISSIONS; and calling
upon people in their homes and lodg-
ing houses. During the summer time
meetings are conducted on the streets
The gospel wagons go out six nights
a week, carrying the students with
their message Of song and e~xhortation
This practical work is not only felt
in Chicago, but is a very vital part OF
every students training. In this way
they become more effective in their
christian service in after years. Most
people believe in this way Of doing
things. They do not go much on mere
theory or knowledge, but the applica

D. L. Moody, the founder of the in

list, but a man Of sense and discern

gone, I shall leave some grand men
and women behind" Time has proven
him to be a prophet, and the work he
began In Chicago Is going on today
upon a larger scale than ever before
and extending to all parts of the
world.

tail coal dealers, say that a better
feeling between wholesale and retail
coal dealers, elimination Of the prac-
tice Of short weighing in coal trans
actions, honest advertising and a feel
ing in favor of a reciprocal demurrage
law, are some. of the reforms brought
about by the Northwestern Retail Coal
Dealers association, according to Pres.
w. B. Benning Of Union, Neb,, who
spoke at the thirteenth annual con-
vention here today.
H. L. Laird of Minneapolis, secretary
of the association. said that the organ

small dealers.
God help us when the mail order
houses have driven out the small deal
er or any other merchant in the small
towns he said. During the last ten
years 5000 towns have decreased in
population. This should never have
