THE FARMERS STATE
MUTUAL HAILST0RM
INSURANCE co,
Mexico, Missouri
Third Year

On May fourth there was a
terrific hail-storn thru Audrain
county, dong immense damage
20 wH.dt and ut and other
tn rigs, entailirg hundreds Of dol
lars in loss, which falls heavily
p those who were unfortunate
enough to be in the path of the
1.oau and had no hail insurance.
If peorIo would form the habit
OF being .nsmged against loss by
hail as well as by tornado, fire
ghtning, these losses would
be distributed amongst the many
and the losers would be re-im-
bursed. No one nee- pay but a
small part for these large losses
and nobody would be badly hurt
financially.
This you should do at once
and TINS is the way You do it.
You are to pay $500 for mem
berShip and advertising. This
is all that will be needed unless
the losses are to be paid in the
fall. The limit that anybody
will pay then is $500 on the
$4,000 Of his insurance.
If you take a sheet of paper
and write your address and R.
f. D. and the section of your
land, then say, | have 50 many
acres of wheat worth so much
per acre, so many acres of oats
worth so much per acre, so many
acres of corn worth so much per
acre, or meadow or millet. CThe
company will write from $500
to $500 per acre.
Then sign your name carefully
so we can make it out, then ad-
dress your letter to the above
company, put in two $4,000 dol
lars. This will pay your member
ship and all the expenses,
On receipt of your letter and
heck the company will send you
a policy covering on your crop
as you have written it.
If you have loss or damage by
hail, report it to the company.
If you take insurance now, yol
are not liable for losses occurring
before you were insured.

Senator Reeds Interpreted on.

Senator Reeds Interpreted on.
Senator James A. Reed will be
called upon to make no sacrifices
OF any importance by his frank
ness in facing the situation which
has arisen from the new tariff
law, and from the change in the
Administration at Washington.
On the contrary, he will gain
greatly in favor among people
whose support is best worth hav-
ING, by being straightforward
and frank about matters which
,annot and should not be kept
from the public or placed beyond
reach of intelligent discussion,
Addressing the Travellers Pro-
tectiye Association at jefferson
City the other day, he touched
upon the prevailing business de
preston and disturbance. But
this condition, he predicted
would soon pass. 1t was attri-
butable, he said, to the invariable
rule that when tariff revision in
a downward direction was made,
the status of business
was temporarily disturbed.
This is a plain statement of
the facts which viii appeal to
large numbers of people who are
willing to apply the rules and
experiences of small affairs to
'rger affairs.
That which has occurred at
Washington during the term OF
President Wilson's incumbency
in office has been, practically, q
reorganization. 1t was the sor'
of reorganization which was just
ifiable. on the ground that 4

Of the people of the United

night, according to many stu
dious statesmen, make for greato
prosperity.
BUT the immediate result, as i
always the case where reorgani
zation takes place, was uncertain
ty. temporary suspension of ac

TAFT MAY SUCCEED
 LATE JUSTICE LURTON
Former President Mentioned for Supreme Court
 Vacancy.

Washington, July 13.-Discussion as to whom President Wilson will ap- point to fill the vacancy on the su- preme court bench caused by the death of Associate Justice Lurton con- tinued here today. The names Of those mentioned in connection with the vacancy include former President Taft, members of the cabinet ana others.
 In official circles no one cared to venture an opinion as to whom the president might appoint. As result of Justice Lurtons death, the presl- dent will be called upon to make his first appointment to the supreme bench
 In addition to Mr. Taft those men toned include Attorney General Mo Reynolds, Secretaries Lane and Garr1- son, Senator Shitlds of Tennessee. a former justice of the supreme court of that state; Frederick w. Lehmann, former solicitor general and one of the American delegates to the Mexi- can peace conference at Niagara Falls and John D. David of West Virginia, the solicitor general.
 Former President Taft is known to have had an ambition to round out his career as justice on the highest court of the land.
 Before the death of Justice Lur- ton the supreme court was made up of six republicans and three demo- crats. By his death, the democratic representation of the bench is re- duced to two-Chief Justice White and Associate Justice Lamar. In the circumstances, it is thought likely that the president will name demo- crat for the vacancy.

London, July 13.-Annie Bell, the militant suffragette who yesterday tried to destroy Archdeacon Wilber- forces famous old church of St. John, Evangelist, Westminster, was arraigned at the police court today and on hearing the charge said: The only thing I regret is that the beastly thing didn't go off,

BOY GETS LOCK-JAW
 FROM SORE FINGER
Few Days Ago Harold Anderson Was Unable to Open His Mouth
 May Recover.

One. of the most peculiar cases of tetanus or lock-jaw, that has ever been brought to the attention of the medical profession in this city is that of thirteen-years-old Harold A. An derson, of Kensington. who has been taken to the Hartford hospital on the advice of Dr. Waterman Lyon who was called into the case a few days ago. The boys condition is criti- cal, but it is hoped that by applying the anti-toxin his case will eventually be cured.
 It was on July 1 that the young Anderson boy was playing in his yard with some other children of his own age when he fell down and play mate accidentally stepped on the end of one of his fingers. The nail was crushed off and then the open sore became infected in some unknown manner. When the boys condition became more serious his parents were alarmed and doctors were sum- moned. It was then discovered that the little fellow was suffering from lock jaw.
 Dr. Lyon said this morning that the patient is now enabled to open his mouth a trifie, but that a couple of days ago the jaws were set fast. The physician states that this is one of the most peculiar cases that has ever been brought to his attention and adds that today conditions look fa- vorable to the boy.

WANTS ROWLAND TO
 HELP ON SEWER BEDS
Mayor After Head of Chemistry De- partment in Stanley Works
 His Success Doubtful.

Although it is known that Mayor George A. Quigley is desirous of se- curing the services of William H. Rowland, head of the chemistry de- partment at the Stanley Works, for the special committee to investigate sewage systems it is probable that his wish will not be fulfilled as MT. Row land would not be able to devote suf- ficient time to the work.
 The acquisition of MT. Rowland as a member of the committee would be an excellent stroke of business, in the opinion of those who are &C., quainted with his ability as a chem ist If the appointment meant glv- ing several hours of an evening to 6 discussion of the matter he would gladly accept it as the work appeals to him, but at present he is engaged in several special projects for the Stanley Works and would not feel at liberty to neglect them.
 MT. Rowland has had charge of the experiments made at Stanley Works for the separation of trade waste from sewage. As it is these wastes which contain iron and other metals that have rendered the sewer beds in Berlin unfit for use 1t can be seen that his experim ents are of the great est importance He would be the right man in the right place if he could be persuaded to accept the ap pointment, which is extremely doubt full
 Mayor Quigley stated today that it is possible he might not be a mem- Der of the committee. It has been that he would be one of the members. He may delegate someone else in his place.

New Haven Minority Stockholders
 Sue to Recover $l2s,o00,o0o.
ACTION IS RESULT OF INQUIRY
Documents Will Be Filed This Week Against Estate of J. P. Morgan. Vim. Rockefeller, Lewis Cass Led yard and Others.

Boston, July 13.-Whipple, Sears and Ogden, attorneys representing minority stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, have demanded that the direc- tors join their clients in the suit to recover about $125, 100000 alleged to have been wasted by the manage ment.
 The suit, which it is said, will be filed this week, is to be directed against the estate of J. P. Morgan, Vim. Rockefeller, Lewis Cass Led yard and others who were members of the New Haven directorate at the time that transactions that have been the subject of inquiry by the inter- state commerce commission were made. In a letter to the directors made public today the attorneys re- fer to the testimony concerning New Haven investments which proved un- profitable, brought out by the inter- state commerce commission, and con- t;nues:
 Believe Directors Liable.
 Tt is our judgment, therefore, that directors are liable for these losses which have so plainly resulted from lAACAA AS6ACSI VI JuulCAdAy uuIy. oh this ground the corporation is en- titled to recover from its directors the differences between what was actually paid out for these investments and their actual values-a sum amount ing to not less than $94,0O0,000. 
 It now seems practically conceded that all these purchases-trolleys, SI%s ID AH~1 shares alike-were also in violation of the federal antitrust act, and on that ground illegal and ultra wires of the corporations.
 Entitled to $155,OOO, ,OOO.,
 "On this ground, in our opinion, the railroad is entitled to recover from it's directors $155.O0O, ,000--the aggregate amount paid for the Bos- ton and Maine shares and steamship and trolley lines.'
 In conclusion the letter reads: We therefore, in behalf of our clients who are, and during all the period of the transactions hereinto referred 10 have been, stockholders, respect fully demand that you institute proper legal proceedings to enforce the lia- bility of directors to the corporation which we have pointed out, and such other liability as may be disclosed as result of a careful and thoroug of the company's af- fairs
 Had Given Notice.
 Notice of the proposal of the mil nority stockholders to file such a suit was given several weeks ago.
 Exact Amount Unknown.
 The exact amount that will be in the proposed suit has not been made known, but the letter in- dicates that the claim will be made that the directors are liable for $94,- 100000 on one ground and $155, 5,0O0,- 1 poo under another interpretation.
