HAIL INSURANCE

In a bill to be introduced by Repre-
county, South Dakota will be asked to

tenn has not been completely outlined,

acted favorably, by filing the requisite
statement. 1t is proposed to fix per
cent on the minimum benefit allowance
rs the assessment fee, with a provision
to reduce the annua assessment after
n specified reserve has been created.
The maximum benefit allowance for
losses on grain crops is fixed at IS an
acre, with payment only of actual losses
incurred where it falls below thai
amount. On this basis those under the
benefits of the plan would pay 20 cents
an acre as assessments, and would be
protected on hail losses up to S. an

The circuit court judges contend that
1T is destructive of their poise and dig
nifty to be compelled to exact a formal
receipt for &C petty payment for
meals, lodging and other necessary ex-
penses while engaged in their official
duties. They are willing to have the
$500 expense limit retained and they
are willing to have disbursements con-
fined to official business, as at present,
but they most earnestly desire to be
able to collect their expenses on sworn,
itemiZed statements, minus the per-
sonal receipts now required. Circuit
court judges receive 81 salary of $500
n year. with an allowance for official
expenses not to exceed $500 a year.

MARKET BUREAU HEAD SAYS

Washington, Jan. 9.-Smaller loaves

Moreover, Mr.. Brand believes the

which have prevailed for the last few
months. Mr.. Brand believes a major
pirtion of the 1914 wheat crop no long
CT is owned by h farmers, but has

bread was about 10 jump from 5 to 6
cents IN New York. Chicago and pos

Keeps Eye on Bakers.
Attorney General Gregory has kept
q close watch upon any efforts to raise
the cost Of living through combinations
Of producers in any line and it is con-
siGered certain that a raise in bread
would be looked into at once. 1t Is
realized at the department that with
wheat far above normal figures, bakers
undoubtedly have been forced to face
the prospect of higher flour. Officials
are interested, however, in learning
whether there is any conspiracy among
bakers over the country to effect a
raise in price of their commodity.
Co.erefed action that involved bakers
In different states would allow prose-
cutiGn nnde the antitrust act.
SeTerai years ago the department. be-

aay ground for believing that there

The reduction in weight is made in
