AVOID UNAUTHORIZED
COMPANIES

Notwithstanding the publicity that
has been given from time to time, re-
lative to the individuality of taking
insurance of any character in COM
pany not authorized to do business in
the State of Michigan, the Insurance
Department is constantly in receipt
of information that here and there
the agents of unauthorized companies,
fitting from one place to another are
| successful in inducing a large number
of people TO take their policies. 1t is
proper for the Department to here
again warn residents of the state that
while no law could prohibit them from
taking insurance in whatever COM
pany they see fit, yet if they should
have any difficulty in the settlement of
claim made against such companies,
they would have no standing in the
courts of the state. This, in itself,
ought to be sufficient reason why no
prudent person would take insurance
in an unauthorized company, but
aside from that, why should the cit
liens of Michigan encourage COM
panies that persist in doing business
in the state in violation of the law;
that pay no taxes, as authorized COM
panies do, and that are not willing to
live up to the regulations imposed by
the legislature upon insurance COM
panies? There is penalty that may
be involved against an agent who
writes insurance for an unauthorized
company, but is is very difficult to
reach these elusive people, and the
only protection that the public can
have from these companies is to alb
solutely ignore them. This is true of
every form of insurance, and there are
many people in Michigan today who
are suffering from disappointment
due to unsatisfactory settlements by
such insurance companies, and their
appeal to the Department of Insur-
ance for assistance has been of no
avail, because the Department has no
jurisdiction over them.

Alma Boys Keep the Score Down
Considerable

The Michigan Fresh were disap-
pointed Saturday when they did not
defeat Alma 1913 to as they did AL
bion. The Fresh team according to
Coach Bleamaster, is the strongest in
many years. The score was 46 to 0.
Harry and "Bill' Schultz, former
Alma men, were not even sure of
their positions on the eleven, so you
may Judge by that the strength Of
their team. "Bill," one of Alma's big
men last year, was the smallest man
on the Fresh team this year. He play
ed end and Harry played in the back
field. Raymond, former Bay City
man, played the other half, Pat Smith,
noted over the west, played full, Dunn
of Ann Arbor quarter.
The Fresh scored five touchdowns
the first half, two the third quarter
and nothing the last quarter, show
ing that Alma could stand up and fight
to the end. Full 15-minute quarters
were played.
Wood, Austin (Capt.), and Spin
ney, played fine football for Alma
Wood made one long gain and "Chet'
Robinson, who substituted in the back
field, was a good ground-gainer. Sew.
eral times Alma forced the ball t.
Michigan's 25-yard line and then wer,
stopped. Alma necessarily played {
punting game, although in the las
quarter Alma held the ball most o.
the time. Alma's lineup:

MICHIGAN'S VERDICT WILL
BE NOTED BY THE NATION

Every thoughtful citizen of Mich
igan recognizes the Importance of the
election of next Tuesday to this state
and to its people.
The result will be an approval of
Democratic national legislation or it
will represent a protest against Demo-
cratic performance and an appeal for
change.
Michigan's verdict will be noted
with more interest than that of any
other state in the union. Our state
was the birthplace of the Republican
party, the cradle of its earliest and
worthiest efforts, and the home of
some of its greatest leaders.
Michigan's return to the list of Re-
publican states will give encourage
ment and gladness to Republicans in
| every state and every section of the
east and north and west.
1t will be regarded as the fore
runner of the advance of the Repub-
lican party to national dominance and
the return of our country to nation
wide confidence and prosperity.
And the position taken by Michigan
at the coming election will be indicated
by the political sympathies of the
Governor it elects.
Michigan will be heralded through
out the nation as belonging in the
Democratic column if a Democratic
Governor is named at the coming
election. Or it will be greeted as hav-
ing joined again with the Republican
states of the Union if Republican
Governor is elected.
This is not sentimental appeal nor
partisan suggestion.
Every observer of affairs in this
state knows it to be true that Repub-
leans throughout the United States
will be comforted and cheered. or thew
will be depressed and discouraged over
the result of Michigan's choice for
| Governor.
Every interest in state pride, every
recognition of home interest and home
welfare, every incident of past expe-
rience and present promise, and every
regard for party upbuilding as relat-
ed to country's advancement demands
the success of the Republican candi-
dates for Governor at the coming cleo
ton.

that the photographic work. especially
in the way of stream measurements,
is assuming in New Mexico and Ari-

statement received today from Wash

expenditures for the office at Santa

ed to $7,74S.94, or more than at any
other station in the United States,
and the cooperative expenditures in
which the states of New Mexico and
Arizona join, to $22, ,96727, or more
than at any other station except at
Honolulu. The Santa Fe office last
year gave employment to 16 men and
maintained 1O2 gauging stations, of
which 46 had automatic gauges. There
were taken 1,231 measurements. The
total expenditures for stream meas
urements in the United States last
year amounted to about a quarter
million dollars, or to be exact, $685.

LOST CANADIAN GOLD MINE
Archdeacon Whitaker a Missionary In
the North Relates Story
He Heard.

Edmonton, Canada.-Headed by
Bishop Lucas, who has had 23 years
experience in the Anglican mission
fields of the North, and Archdeacon
Whitaker, close second with 10
years in the same field, party of ten
have left Edmonton for the North.
Archdeacon Whitaker relates a re-.
markable story of lost gold mine be-
tween Fort Mcpherson and Herschel
island. According to Mr.. Whitaker ira.
dition says that a great number of
years ago party of nine men, one Of
them an old C. P. R. surveyor, found a
gold mine which was stated to be of
fabulous value among the mountains
in that vicinity. They made elaborate
geographical notes so that they would
be able to find it again, and then re-
turned with the object of making the
necessary arrangements to work the
mine.
On the way out, each of them heav-
lily laden with the precious metal, pro-
visions ran short and seven died. The
two survivors of the party organized
another party, but the geographical
calculations were lost in the meantime
and all attempts to locate the mine
ended in failure.

They have not advanced in price yet,

Some importers say that no rise will

that large purchases were made

Others declare that the stock now in
