there are great many bungalow de- signs which would entirely lose their charm if not dressed in an exterior finish of brickwork. Further than the pleasing appearance which is obtained when the house is just finished, the fact that this appearance will remain a permanent part of the house for an indefinitely long time with very little attention being paid to 1t, is an as- suranee which means a great deal to its owner. This is one of the great est recommendation which brick used for house construction can find. When once properly laid a brick wall is a
 finished and permanent structure in Itself, without anything being added to 1t. The owner of a little bungalow built of brick does not have to think

IOWA MAKING MONEY OUT OF
BUSINESS OF INSURANCE
COMPANIES.
RISK CONCERNS NOW
MAKING COMPLAINTS
Say They Are Compelled to Pay Too
Much Money Into State Treasury
More Than in Other States-Risk
Business in Iowa Extensive.
to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. oct. 1.-THE automobile
business is not the only business which
is making money for the state of Iowa.
The state is also making money out of
the insurance business.
As matter of fact the insurance
companies are complaining because
they say they have to pay the state
TOO much money but comparatively
they are not paying any more into the
Iowa treasury than into the treasury
of other states. And the chances are
they will continue to pay as much and
more in the years 10 come.
Figures compiled by Insurance Com
missioner English for the governor who
wished TO have set out specifically
what the various departments in the
state house were doing show that in
the last two years the insurance COM
panies paid into the Iowa treasury III
taxes and fees s1,210,11f.sS. In that
same two years the department eN-
pended s64.540.22 so that the state
made a net profit on the insurance bus
mess those two years of S1.l46,5 III.
This money goes into the state treas
ury and is expended thru the general
state funds.
The money expended includes the
amounts spent for the examinations ot
the various companies, the salaries OF
the commissioner, ASSISTANTS and en-
ployes of the office, postage, printing
and binding and the work of conduct
ing the department.
An Immense Business.
OF the money paid into the state
treasury by the insurance companies
sl72sl0.25 was for license and certii-
cate fees and s12,1SI.50 for eNamina-
ton expense fees. Taxes on premiums
collected in Iowa and paid to the state
treasurer by the insurance companies
amounted to S1,025, 011.60.
Thu, it is seen that the insurance
business is in reality an immense bust
ness in Iowa as it is in other states
but proportionately more in Iowa than
in the average states because Iowa IS
prosperous and her people evidently
believe in insurance.
However the automobile department
continues TO be away in the lead as to
the amount Of business done by the
state of Iowa. The states automobile

1AMA AFTER COUNTY AGENT.
Farmers Form Temporary Orsanlza'
ton and Urge Employment Of Expert.

Special TO Times Republican.
Toledo, Oct. 14.-Several prominent
Tama county farmers met in Toledo.
Thursday evening, to discuss the prop
ostion of securing a farm agent for
the county All were favorable to the
project and a temporary organization
consisting of w. II. Malin, OF Columbia
township, and II. B. Lee, of the Toledo
Chronicle, was formed. A large mass
meeting Of farmers from all parts OF
the county will be held at the court
house in Toledo on Saturday after
noon. Oct. q. a, 2 o'clock, which will
be addressed by J. w. Coverdale. OF
Ames. who is county agent ieaoer IN
Iowa. Prominent farmers IN every
township have been named on COM
mittees to see that representative men
from ali of the townships are IN at
tendance at this meeting. Inc men
appear to be unanimously in favor Oh
the project and without doubt per-
manent Organization will be formed
at this meeting.
In order to secure an agent IL Is neg
essary to have an organization OF AZ
least 300 members for three years win
an annual membership fee OF 80 each.
With such an organization formed the
county association will be able to se-
cure $1,000 state and government ala
and $500 from the county, which TO-
gether with a membership Of 300 wlli
make a total yearly income OF $3,ooo.
This will be sufficient to hire nrst
class agent, pay his expenses and get
the work nicely started. From the in
terest manifested, however, 1t Is PROD
able that the membership will surpass
the necessary 300. ~

: Length II inches. Distinguished
from other Jays within its range by
its decidedly whitish underparts and
brown patch on the back.
Range: Resident in California
north to southern Washington, and
south to southern Lower California.
Habits and economic status: This
jay has the Same general traits OF
character as the eastern blue Jay. He
10 the same noisy, rollicking fellow
and occupies : corresponding position
in bird society. Robbing the nests OF
smaller birds II . favorits pastime,
and he ID . persistent Spy upon domes-
tic fowls and well knows the meaning
Of the cackle OF hen. Not only does,
he steal eggs but he kills young chicks.
Tho insect food Of this Jay constitutes
about one-tenth Of Its annual susten-
ance. The inclusion Of grasshoppers
and caterpillars makes this part Of
the birds food In its favor. But the
remainder Of its animal diet includes
altogether too large Z proportion Of
beneficial birds and their eggs. and
In this respect It appears TO be worse
than its eastern relative, the blue Jay.
While its vegetable food Is composed
largely OF mast, at times its liking
for cultivated fruit and grain makes
It most unwelcome visitor to the
orchard and farm. In conclusion it
may be said that over; much Of its
range this Jay IL too abundant for
the best interests OF agriculture and
horticulture.

OF ARGENTINE LIVE STOCK

NOW HANDICAPPED
BY BOAT SHORTAGE

For South American Exports-Spsaks

ty on South American Agriculture.

Special to Times Republican. n
Ames, Oct. l4.-Panoramicslly. full.
length portrait of South America, seen
thru the eye of a trained agriculturlst
who was called to serve and see and
who came home 20 tell. was painted by
Dean c. +. Curtiss. Of Iowa State Col
lege. Thursday evening, before an
auditorium crowding audience Of Ame<
students and faculty who came to hear
the dean deliver his first public address
since return from Argentine, where he
was called this summer to serve as
Judge at the international live stock
exposition at Buenos Aires.
South American Agriculture was
the subject upon which the dean chose
to talk. His discussion really included
comprehensive outlay of the agricul-
ture, resources, industries and future
possibilities of Brazil, Argentine and
Chile, the main South American coun-
tries.
Twenty five years ahead of any other
South American country in its live
stock industry, with l5,000,G00 acres In
rich alfalfa or about twice the area
of the corn land of Iowa, which can
be grazed the year around, progressive,
up-to-d date, and possessing forest re-
sources yet untouched, was the way
Dean Curtiss characterized Argentine,
in which he sees the country which
Will be the future beef exporting coun-
try of the world
There is nothing this country could
do at present which would establish
more good feeling with countries OF
South America than to establish line
of boats to carry their export trade,
stated the dean, who said that there
has been a serious beat shortage. since
the war began, to take care OF the
export trade.
Fuel Expensive in Argentine.
Gasolene in Argentine is twice as
high as here and coal brings an eX-
orbtant price because of the pdohibi-
tive freight rates For this reason, hard
wood is used as fuel in many of the
locomotives. The high cost of fuel Is
also the probable reason for the few
number of tractors used there.
Hogs in Argentine are scarce. The
reason for this. the dean believes. IS
because the Argen.inian doesn't know
what an American breakfast Is. HIS
breakfast consists OF rolls and coffee.
He hence knows not the Joys OF ham
and bacon. The time will come. how
ever, when Argentine will raise hogs
for export trade he says.
The land where nature works all the
time and the natives work very little
of the time, Is Brazil. he says. which
is the greatest coffee producing coun-
try in the world. Altho there are 2o,-
O00, 900 cattle in Brazil. they are not OF
the high class beef type found In Ar
gentine. Brazil is not "a white man
country" stated the dean. altho he
thinks it will be, heard from In the
future in the beef cattle, line.
Chile's chief source of revenue is her
nitrate mines and she Will probably
never be a great agricultural country.
But the more l saw OF other couE-
tries, the more thought of Iowa. con-
