ance fund as well As those established

instance Of representatives Of labor or
ganizatons, and In his memorandum
said:

pose In giving to the Superintendent OF

supervisory power with the Superntend-
eng of Insurance over the rates to he fixed
or charged for insurance In the state In

The language OF the present bill is
ambiguous and doubtful and may lead to
judicial controversy rs to whether or not
the word association as used In this
bill did not give supervisory power to the
Superintendent OF Insurance over the
rates used for Insurance In the State
fund. This ambiguity could be readily
obviated II after the word "a ISOLATION In

FINE PRE-NORMAN CHURCH
Remarkably Well Preserved Edifice at
Worth Was Built Long Before
the Conquest.

Many churches in Britain owe their
origin to the piety Of the Norman in
vader, but these which antedate this
great period of church building are not
so numerous. One such pre-Norman
edifice is the fine old parish church of
Worth, near Three Bridges. A little
book, written by Rev Arthur Bridge.
the rector of Worth, tells the his
tory of what is aptly described as
one of the most remarkable relics Of
bygone age. 1t seems probable that
the church passed with the Manor OF
Worth under the will Of Alfred the
Great 70 his third son, Ethelward.
Archaeologists win be lavish Of thanks
to Mr. Bridge for the interesting and
useful little record of his unique
church He tells US that Worth ex-
hibits the earliest example of the pure
ly English cruciform building, and its
semi-circular eastern end is OF very an
cient date. But the whole church, as
might be gathered. possess many fea-
lures which make il Of peculiar fascin-
alton to the student Of the antique.
The windows, for instance, have not
suffered restoration" and are well
known to all students of architecture

Chicago, March 14.-Yard dealers
asked up to IS for the breedy strong
weights of beefy flesh, but country
buyers were reluctant to go above s7.7a
and spread of s7.35d7.7.0 caught the
bulk of useful steers, averaging $50 to
$50 pounds. with few 1000 pound and
heavier lots also making this range A
strictly choice bred selected class OF
feeders landed around s7.15 a $50. while
down to s7.15G7.30 it was mainly a
plain TO decent light feeder and stock
class and the poor little stock steers
ranged down to $3.50 and lower, tho
only quite plain feeder kind was had
at 1915, these being sorts that took

week. failing little mean colored steers
We're drug down 10 1925 and lower
and about the only outlet they had
was thru the packers. where such stuff
was taken for Gamer purposes.
All the bullish tone shown in the
trade at the start this week, when YARD
buyers paid some higher prices than
last weeks close. was lost after that
session, and since then the market has
been on down trend altho current low
cred levels are expected to develop n
considerable country demand here next
week and on anything like moderate
run prices probably will show an up
ward trend again. That the country
wants cattle is evident on Al! sides. nut
up and down markets can only be
looked foI in the next few weeks.
Prices ascending to top levels can only
have influence in checking the country
demand.
