Weeghman was on the verge OIL
springing story of high degree to-
night, but at the eleventh hour al
lowed as how he would have to wait
until he had another talk with Herr
mann. That the magnates are dis
cussing three gigantic base ball deals
involving the Federal League owners
of Chicago, Brooklyn and St. Louis and
the National League owners of these
cities was fatty announced tonight by
a leading light in the American League.
According to the American League
speaker the peaceful adjustment of the
haze ball scramble will blossom from
these undercover meetings OF Herr
mann and Weeghman. 1t was pointed
out that the. Mckeevers and Ebbets
were eager to dispose of their Brook
lyn Dodger holdings, and that the
wards would purchase the Natlohal
club, while Ebbets Field will be trans
formed into a home for the Newark
International League club.

In fact, this move may prove bene-
ft, for there is no getting away from
the fact that it requires real hot
weather to get a ball team in shape.
Barring a very few days hot weather

training was generally done in the cool
and yet the team was in fairly good
shape when the bell tapped.
Nowadays the training work is not
as strenuous as it used to be, for the
reason THAI with very few exceptions
all ball players now keep themselves
in perfect physical condition during
the off season. and about all they re-
quire to resume playing ball in the
spring is to get their arms strong and
improve their wind
In the old days when the average
player spent his winter in dissipation
he reported hog fat and had to put in
about three weeks running and sweat

While it appears to be the general be
lief that Walter Johnson will in due

SUCCESS IS Up
TO THE Farmers
Hail Insurance Department
Requires Support of the
Land Owners.

The success of the state hail insur-
ance department rests with the farm
ers or the state, in the opinion Of
insurance Commissioner w. c. Taylor,
OF North Dakota, who has issued the
1ollowlng circular letter on the work
of the department.
L am taking the liberty of hand.
ing you copy of the State Hail In.
surance- law as amended and re-cn-
acted by the 18th legislative assembly.
In that connection l should like to
suggest that. this act was designed
especially for the benefit of tho
farmers of North Dakota. It's purpose
Is that of affording the largest pos
sible measure of protection against
loss arising from the damage or de-
struction OF growing crops, and to
furnish the indemnity at the lowest
possible cost. Although the policies
are issued by the state. the insurance
Is written on purely mutual basis.
That is to say, every dollar contrib
uted for the payment of losses with
the exception of the comparatively
small sum required for the mainten-
ance of the department, including eX-
pense of adjustment of losses. print
ing, postage, clerk hire, ETC. Thus in
1913 the ratio of operating expense
to premiums received was less than
II per cent.
Without going into the matter
more fully at this time, may 1 not
suggest that the success of this VEN
ture in state insurance depends prim-
arily upon the farmers themselves? :?
For l am fully convinced that if state
hail insurance were literally and gen.
orally patronized, SO that a consider
able fund would be realized and the
risks. distributed over a large area
the hopes of the trainers Of the law
would be fully realized, and state hail
insurance prove genuine boon to
the grain growers Of our state"
