MRS. PARSONS PROVES
ANGEL TO SALES FOLK
AT EDUCATORS MEET

Fargo, N. D., Nov. IA Joan of
Arc was born to the flock of exhibitors
who herded into Fargo with the open.
ing session of the North Dakota Edu-
cation association.
Her name is Mrs. W. E. Parsons Of
Bismarck, wife of Secretary Parsons
OF the teachers association. But she
doesn't know as yet what a savior she
proved herself Wednesday.
1t all came about in this way. w,
E. Hoover of Fargo, chairman Of the
committee on arrangements for the
convention, had sent out word that
exhibitors were not to locate in the
auditorium entrances. At least that's
what the exhibitors said last night.
They Al Came.
Came Clinton L. Mann of. Minneapo.
lis, representing the A. 3. Dick com
pany, and loaded down with Edison
monographs and supplies. Yet there
was no room for him.
Came S. L. Smith of Aberdeen with
a full display of pictures from the
South Dakota state normal school.
The same reception.
Came the Palmer System men from
Chicago. the Owens company with
educational journals from Danville, n.
Y, and H. J. Mcneil Of the Thomas
Charles company and the Educators
Agency from Chicago.
Nothing 70 % With II.
Came all Of them to Mr.. Parsons
who said he had nothing to do with 1t.
Came all Of them to the Commercial
club which made response that they
had been barred by Hooyer's order,
that Parsons must give permission.

AM1DON CLAIMS ..@
MARMARTH CAST #
TOO MANY VOTES

Charges that fraud entered into the
ballot by which Marmarth was Sc.
lected as the county seat of Slope
county may have an effect on the
North Dakota presidential vote-even
though the elimination Of the entire
Slope county vote would not, in itself,
seriously reduce President Wilson's
lead over Charles Hughes-the Slope
majority for Wilson being about $50.
That a grist of absent ballots were
cast in Marmarth, and that frauds
were resorted to there in the effort
TO remove the county seat, is the
charge that Amidon makes, and that
city Is already preparing to contest in
the courts Marmarth's success in oh.
tanning the seat OF government.

State Hail Insurance
Thorough Failure, Is
Commissioners Finding

The state hail insurance has proven
"1borough-going failure" and that
the adoption in North Dakota OF com
pulsory hail insurance, based on the
Saskatchewan plan, is probable, are
important findings which State Hail
Commissioner W. G.. Taylor announces
in a SPECIAL report directed to the
Fifteenth legislative assembly.
".The department" says Mr.. Taylor,
mas now been in operation six full
years-a sufficient period Of time, no
doubt, in which to acqllaint the grain
growers OF the state with the fact that
such department had been created
and established for their benefit and
!, to. enable them to fanliliarize them
selves with the purpose and details
Of the scheme. Time has also been
= afforded for a thorough test of its
practical workability. The net result
might be more elegantly, but no more
aptly characterized, than to say it is
a fzzle..'
Conceived in Sin
The commissioner mentions the
charge made during the past year to
the effect that the scheme was "cop-
ceived in sin and brought forth in
iniquity," and that the act was de-
liberately framed SO as to insure fail
ure In reply he calls attention to
the fact that the original bill was in
troduced by a farmer; was champion
ed by farmers, and received nearly a
unanimous vote Of both houses. 1t
was a pioneer undertaking with moth
ing upon which any estimates Of ip-
come or expense could be based.
The legislature fixed on 20 cents the
acre as rate which might prove.
adequate. During the years, 1911 and
1912 the rate charged by the state
was 2 ~ per cent on the dollar, while
old line companies charged from -
to per cent. The commissioner re-.
CARDS the fiction that the old line in
sllrance companies were making enor-'
NOUS profits out of hail insurance as
the probable basis for the low rate:
charged by the state. As a matter
of fact, during the eleven years, 1905
to 1915, inclusive, companies writing
hail insurance in North Dakota col
lected $10,7S6,9S6 in premiums, and
paid out $7,194,S06 for losses. The
ratio of losses to premiums received
was about 81 per cent, and with an
operating expense Of 80 to 50 per
cent, it is evident that the companies
did not grow rich on their business.
/. Increase Rate Mistake s'fy
I The Thirteenth legislative assembly
increased the rate from 20 to- 80 cents
the acre. This increase of rate failed
smost dismally' to justify legislative
wisdom, as. is evidenced by the fact
that under the 20 cent rate the prem!
ium income for 1911-12 was $92,444-
70. while the thirty-cent rate in 1919
IA yielded but 1896, 90. The prem.
ium income for 1915 was $20,S53.22:
for 1916, $33, 1862.
..;SatiIn alsllal, 0l 1s apren1it Inns were sis.
sued;. receipts were $26,11954; dis.
bursemehts from the hail fund. $24,-
619,76, and the percentage of hail loss
paid 20. In 1912 the policies writer
increased to 2.505; $66,340.15 was col
]ected in premiums, and 500, 1886 dis
Ibursed, but only IS per cent Of the
loss was paid on pro-rata business.
The following year the number 81
policies written dropped to 773, and

, the premium receipts were but 500
S90.26, but SS per cent OF the losses
were paid. The funds poorest year
is that just closed, when 845 policies
were written, $33 ,116.S2 collected;
$33,12529 .disbursed, and but 80 per
cent Of the loss paid pro rata. The
experience Of all hail-Writing COM
panies in North Dakota this year was
bad. resulting in heavy underwriting
| losses. This was due not alone to
actual hail damage, but also to crop
conditions which made it practically
impossible to adjust hail damage
properly. -.
-. Disseminated Against
Commissioner Taylor reports that
undoubtedly the state hail insurance
department is Disseminated against
in the matter of adjustment Of losses
The adjusting is done by an Official
adjuster in each county. Knowing
from past experience that the state
fund will not pay 100 cents on the
dollar, the county adjuster seeks IT,
equalize underpayment OF claims by
liberal adjustment of losses. There
q
good fellow" so long as it costs the
adjuster nothing and benefits fellow
citizen. No actual injury would re-.
suit from this over-appraisal, but for
the fact that the system of adjusting
is not uniform, and the county whose
losses are appraised equitably is dis
eliminated against in favor of the
county whose losses are over.apprais.
ed. There is only so much money to
pro-rated in any event. To correct
this situation, the commissioner re.
commends that one or more exper-
fenced adjusters be retained by the
hail department to serve in all parts
OF the state. q 80.
- Thorough.Goine Failure
The commission finds the present
system OF hail insurance, a mutual
plan with the commissioner acting as
general manager without pay, is very
generally recognized as a pretty
thorough going failure" 1t never will
be anything else, no matter how much
or how long legislature thinkers with
1t, is his conclusion. Experience has
demonstrated that men will not So
liclt their own insurance, and that the
state cannot compete successfully
with an enterprise privately owned
and managed. i@5
Saskatchewan Plan
The commissioner re- calls his re-
commentator to the last legislature
that the Saskatchewan plan" Of COM
pulsory hail insurance, sunder county
option, be adopted as an alternative.
The Fourteenth general assembly
adopted a concurrent resolution based
upon this Recommendation and provid-
Ing for a tax levy upon land, not to
exceed four miles, for the division
Of the state into suitable districts,
and the adjustment OF the tax to the
situations existing In each distinct
district, He Believes the forthcoming
legislative assembly will adopt this
resolution, and submitsit to vote of
the people in 1916. 9th Republicans
and Democrats are committed by
their state platforms to compulsory
hail insurance. $ MI.
Commissioner Taylor sees no rea.
son why such compulsory hail in.
surance, based upon a. land tax, is
not entirely feasible and practicable.

missioner makes it d. point to ack.

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; In
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.
Hood S Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the

CHURCH BROUGHT HAPPINESS
AND MUCH CHRISTMAS CHEER

Christmas was observed at all the
different churches in the city with
the annual programs and treats for
the children. The Sunday schools
had prepared programs which were
given either at the morning or even
ing services Sunday.
Singers from several churches
rode through the town in autos
early Monday morning singing
Christmas songs and carols. The
Presbyterians were out soon after
midnight and the Brethren in
Christ choir sang at 6 O'Clock.
This has been an established Gus
tom for several years and each
Christmas eve the voices of the
singers bring Christmas cheer and
happiness to the hearts of many
who are unable to enjoy it other

GOOD FELLOWS BRING
CHEER TO FIFTY FAMILIES

Fifty families in Abilene enjoy
ed the spirit of good fellowship and
happiness of the Christmas time
this year through the efforts of the
Good Fellows. One hundred fifty
children were made happy with
gifts and toys given by the club, and
older people, many of them sick and
helpless. enjoyed the more useful
presents and provisions given them.
Approximately 5000 had been col
lceted by the Good Fellows and ev-
cry cent was spent to make some
one happy and to provide the neces-
stiles and comforts of life to those
who needed aid.
The Good Fellows made their
rounds early Sunday evening in
automobiles so that everyone might
be provided with the means for a
good Christmas dinner.
