POLICE OFFICER
GIVES OPINION
John F. Ward Of Wilmington,
constant user Of American
Navy Plug Tobacco

Take one sweet Juicy chew Of
American Navy and you'll put your
o. K on what Patrolman John F.
Ward, 500 w. 23rd St., Wilmington,
says about it below. For real tobacco
satisfaction American Navy is the top
notch chew of the world. Here's the
decision of a man who knows:
Il have used AMERICAN NAVY
for long time and find it very salts
factory. 1t is always fresh and has no
stems or dirt. l would not be without
it."
American Navy will give you equal
satisfaction and pleasure.
American Navy is made of choice
selected, whole leaf, in a clean, sani-
tary factory. The leaf is the same
kind as used in good cigars, but instead
of being loose cuttings and clippings,
it is whole long leaf, pressed into plug
form, forcing. the sweet, fruity juice
through the entire plug.
That is why American Navy is so
full of the choicest havor-why every
chew of it is such a pleasure.
The pure juice of American Navy
not only pleases the palate but gives
lasting satisfaction and keen enjoy
ment.
No matter what tobacco you have
been chewing, you'll never 90 back to
it after you once get the delicious
American Navy favor. It's we'll worth
while to find out about it-get it from
your dealer-big, generous Sc and l0c
cuts.

BAD YEAR FOR STATE
HAIL lAW.-L0SS BIG
Probable That Not to Exceed
80 per cent Can be Paid on
Claims We
Claims

The present has been disastrous
year for the state hail insurance de-
partment. Although the amount of
premiums collected is so per cent
greater than in 1915, the unusually
heavy losses, especially in the north
ern part OF the state, probably will
cut down the amount to be paid on
claims to 80 per cent.
Deputy Commissioner Sheehan is
now engaged on his annual report for
the year, which closed September Is.
He finds that the state department
insured 117,257 acres, the risks writ
ten totaling $S20,800; premiums col
lected, $S3,11379. The losses were
$79 ,25576. and the expense of adjust
ing, $l,706.96, or 2.15 per cent on the
loss. The policies in force numbered
S45.
Out of the $33,l13.79 collected in
premiums must be paid the cost Of
administration, adjusting, ETC., after
which the amount remaining is pro-
rated over the losses. The arrange
ment is a purely mutual one. Last
year only $4,000 was collected in
pIcIllllL1S, Dul lIlc lOSScS were llO( SU

VALUABLE HISTORICAL DATA.
The State Historical library is in
receipt of a set of 40 volumes OF the

Dakota Historical society exchanges

reduction of 10 per cent on rates with

if they had their worries, they also

Nation Hitting High.
Arthur Capper's weekly, which has
taken up the task of ascertaining
"What's the Matter With Kansas
finds that in II years insanity has
gained 10S per cent in the Sunf1oWer
state. II. G. Bowman Of the Kansas
state board of control says: Booze
hasn't been sending these people to
the asylun1s. Alcohol has not cut
much ice in Kansas in recent years.
| The insane are increasing because
civilization is too much for them.
From 1904 to 1910 there has been a
2 per cent gain in insanity in the
United States, as compared with a II
per cent increase in population. In
Kansas in II years, with II per cent
gain in population, insanity has in
creased 1OS per cent 1t is a case Of
the weak surviving and breeding
more than the strong. When coun-
try gets full of idle, shiftless para
sites, the producers cannot care for
them, and the country degenerates."
Consolation to Board.
Indicating that North Dakota has
fewer parasites; fewer idle, shiftless
people and more producers; that
North Dakota civilization is of more
wholesome sort, Mr. Bowman's report
brings consolation to the Flickertail
board Of control, even in the face OF
the fact that very, very slowly, the
percentage Of insanity is increasing,
even in this stronghold of sound
sense.
Inspecting Hospital.
All of which is merely preliminary
to the fact that S. l.. Olson and
James "A. Brown of the board of con-
troll are home from jamestown paying
monthly visit to the state hospital
for the insane, where a number of
improvements and additions are un-
der way. These include a new wom-
ans ward. to cost $1O1,264; an office
and dormitories, costing $53,36S; new
wings to the receiving ward, costing
$51 ,2S5, and a dining hall, costing
$16,927. which indicate that insanity
is an expensive luxury.
The state hospital at Jamestown
dates back to territorial days. having
been established May I. 1885, only
two years after the capital was NOV
ed to Bismarck. A majority of the
present buildings date from 1898.
