Russia Contemplates Government Monopoly
 of Fire Insurance

Peuograd, May 1s-A project to institute compulsory state fire insur- ance is now under consideration by the minister of the interior. and will be soon presented to the Council of Ministers for approval. The propos- al was first made by the budget. com nittee of the. Duna, which pointed out the desirabidty of such a meas ure as a source of income to the gov ernment.
 According to preliminary estimates, if this fire insurance monopoly were undertaken by the government, it would yield an annual income of fff- teen million dollars. The minister of the interior, however, is in favor of the passing of such a measure, not primarily because 1t would bring a large revenue to the government, but because compulsory insurance Is de- nanded by the condition of the ma jority of buildings in Russia, which are wooden and but poorly protected against fire The constant destruc- ton of these wooden buildings by fire, has been d perceptible drain 'on the economic strength of the country

FARMERS IN THAT VICINITY ARE
GIVING 1T GREATER ATTEN-
TON THAN EVER.

Ames, March 25.-Twenty thousand
bushels of fall wheat will be raised
within three and half miles of Ames
in 1915, according to the estimates of
local grain men, who this year expect
that the total acreage in this vicinity
sown to wheat will reach at least 1000
acres.
Mohe wheat has been grown around
Ames in the last two or three years
than in twenty years previously. Farm
ers are getting crops Of from eighteen
to forty bushels to the acre from their
wheat, with an average for the COM
munity of about twenty-five bushels.
This makes wheat profitable crop
even on high priced Story county land.
Better methods of keeping up the
fertility of the soil, and the practice
of sowing fall wheat which gets out
of the way before the hot sun of the
Iowa summer is responsible for the
increase in wheat growing near Ames.
Local farmers are putting wheat into
rotation with red clover, and are TAX
ing better care of the land, which
with the sowing Of winter wheat,
rather than spring wheat, as the farm
ers put it has made the land come
back for wheat in this section

AGAINST NEW BILL

Mason City, March 25.-The city
commissioners of this city went on
record as against the bill now before
the state legislature placing control OF
all the telephone companies under con-

taking away the rights of the cities.
The following resolution was passed
and telegraphed to Senator Robinson
and Representative Jones of this dis
trict: 1--WE most heartily oppose the
proposed law by which cities would
companies the perpetual right to
streets and forever prohibit the city
from reducing telephone rates. mas
much as the Western Electric Tele-
surrender to telephone and telegraph
phone and Telegraph Company pays
practically no taxes whatever to the
city of Mason City, we favor a law
which will compel them to pay taxes
on properties in cities on same basis
as other property is assessed"
