Interesting Statistics Compiled at. the
State University,

interesting STATISTICS Compiled at the
State University.
That the student body of the Uni.
versity of North Dakota is essentially
cosmopolitan is strongly shown by a
tabulation just completed that shows
that sixty different occupations, twen-
ty-four different nationalities and
twelve different churches are repre-
scented. The facts are derived from
the enrolment cards signed by the
students on entering the state institu-
ton. Farmers, Norwegians and Meth
odists predominant in their respective
groups.
Out of the SAL students who report
ed the occupations of their parents,
215, or nearly 40 per cent. come from
the homes of farmers in forty-one-
counties of the state. In order of
size the next largest groups are: Mer-
chants 81, bankers SO, real estate deal
ers rs, ministers % and travelling
statesmen 10. The learned professions
contribute 11.2 per cent; parents who
depend upon salary, 1917 per cent.
Practically every occupation is repre-
scented, a characteristic of Western
democracy.
OF 525 students who indicated
church preference there are 121 Meth
odists, 108 Presbyterians, 1O7 Luth-
Grams, So Catholics, 48 Congregation
alists, Al Episcopalians, % Baptists, 4
Christian Scientists, 4 who adhere to
the Jewish faith.
But in the varied list of nationalities
represented is the strongest evidence
of the cosmopolitan nature of the stu
dent body, for no less than twenty-four
different nationalities, including Japan
csc, Slavonians, Bohemiars. Swiss and
others from distant lands. are seeking
the light of educational advancement

Three Million Dollars Fire and Light
ming insurance Carried on the
Big Power
House.
1T rs NOT FIRE PROOF
So Much Oil is Used on the MachIn-
cry That a Blaze Is Not
an impossible
Event.

The largest fire insurance policy
ever written in Iowa, and perhaps In
the entire west, has just been written
in Keokuk 1t is for an even three
million dollars and was issued by the
Hobbs agency, covering the power
house and contents.
100000 insurance Is carried on the
big concrete building and $2,2oo,oo0
on the contents. The Liverpool, Lon
don and Globe company carried the
risk and the policy runs for three
years.
The Water Power company is in
sured against loss from fire or light
ming in this policy and while many
people would at first thought say that
there is no chance for fire damage in
the building, there Is some risk there
and in case the great quantities of oil
fused on the machinery would become
| ignited either from spark or stroke
of lightning, thousands OF dollars
worth of expensive machinery coulo
soon be ruined.
The policy written today is certain
| ly big one and possibly is the larg
est in the country, outside of New
York city. When it has been report
ed to the insurance magazines, it will
be interesting to note whether i
stands at the head of the list or not
