basis of premiums collected, of COM
Panies writing hail insurance in
) North Dakota in 1915 xceeded 1eo
per cent. Any number of companies
hit the balr' for 200 per cent or
more. and it is cote probable that
fair percentage of all the corpora
tions which carried hall risks last
year will withdraw from the business
IN North Dakota this year.
Some OF the companies which hit
the high spots were tn following:

THANKSGIVING

President Wilson in his Thangspiv
ing Proclamation makes no attempt
to recount the specific things for
winch the Nation at this time has
cause to be grateful. Had he par
tlculariZed doubtless he would have
given the result of the Second Liber-
ty Loan prominent place among
those things for which the Nation
should be thankful.
For the great result of the Second
Liberty Loan campaign, with nearly
lO,oO0,OOO American rallying to the
financial support of the Nation and
subscribing over four and a half bill
non dollars for the purchase of Libcr-
W Loan Bonds, is cause for deem
thanksgiving in the heart OF every
loyal American.
President Wilson says the Nation
should be thankful that we have been
gwen the opportunity to serve man
hlnd as we once served ourselves i'm
the great day of our Declaration ut
independence by taking up arms
against the tyranny that threatened
to master and dcbasc men cverv-
where.
SO, too, can all subscribers to the
Liberty Loan be thankful that thew
nave been given an opportunity to aid
IN this great mission Of America and
have done their part toward giving to
the world liberty and justice and Sc
curity from the tyranny that threat
ems to master and dcbasc all nations
and all men.
Every purchaser Of Liberty Loan
Bond has struck blow for human
llpcrty and for civilization and hu-
manlty. Let them remember this on
Thursday, the 23th day of November,

laCe nour. AS one country with one
mind, he pleads, let America face for
ward toward the sun of democracy.
Then he links woman suffrage into
the democratic chain and shows the
reasons for his suffrage faith.
1t IS because Of ive fundamental
l"cts that mir. Bryan finds ,.i,., man
should hasten to make woman his
partner in politics.
FIRST: Man trusts himself to wo-
man. Is the ballot harder to manage
than a man.
Second: The husband-father trusts
the children to the wife and mother.
Are the children less precious than
the ballot?
Third: In the family life the wife
Is the hunband's financial partner,
whatever the comic supplements have
to say about women's irresponsible
hats. Is the average mans purse of
less concern to him than his political
concern?
Fourth: a large majority Of men
never get beyond the graded schools.
In the graded schools the teachers
are women, so that all the schooling
Il man gets in civil government he
gets from women. Is the pupil to
deny to the teacher her right to ex-
press for herself the ideals that she
has taught him to express for him
self?
Fifth: Woman suffrage works. 1t
works so we'll that wherever people
try it they keep it. 1t is
one of the few things in this elusive
world of which you can say, when
you get it, you've got it,"
What he couldn't understand was
why the "anti-suffragettes," who were
so mournful over woman's inability
to rise to the burden of the ballot,
didn't go into the suffrage states and
try there to get the burden lifted by
the repeal of the suffrage laws which
the Western women are bearing in
such heroic silence. The fact that
the anti-sutfragettes couldn't face the
prospect showed how much of a bur-
den the Western women found the
vote "Did you ever hear of a wo-
man bearing in silence a burden that
she wanted to get rid Off" asked the
Great Commoner.

WEEKS WAR EVENTS
REVIEWED BY BAKER

Washington, Nov. 18.-Hardening
of the Italian defense and the preci-
sion with which British and French
reinforcements are being delivered in
the Italian theater lead Secretary
Baker in his weekly review tonight to
contemplate the future in that field
with confidence. He points out, how
ever, that the full strength of the
Austro-German effort has moi vet
been developed.
Renewed allied offcnsivcs on tho
western front after the lull of the
past week, Mr. Baker says, are indi-
Gated by increased artillery fire and
the nervousness exhibited by the Ger
mans. The only reference to the soc-
tor of this front where American
troops occupy first line trenches. is
that the men have shown themselves
worthy of the best traditions of tbc
American army.
"The training of our National Ar
my is now progressing rapidly" the
statement says. "Thc morale of our
new citizen soldiers is reportcd nc ov
cellent.
Dependable Soldiers.
The men who have been called
upon to defend our country in tho
present emergency are taking hold of
the work in serious, high minded
spirit, which will produce the best re-
suits.
The British and French officers
who are to assist in instructinp our
new armies are arriving.
In France the training of our
troops Is being carefully continued.
In the sector where our forces are in
the trenches they have shown them
selves worthy of the best traditions
OF our army.
After the successes gained by the
aii'es IN the West during the preced-
ing week the relative calm of the last
several days was to be anticipated
1T is significant, however, that the
reaction Of the enemy has been rela-
lively slight, both in the region north
Oh the Aisnc and in Flanders.
At this season of the year the sod
den, fog-bound fields Of Flanders and
the bad weather which prevails along
the entire Western front makes il
difficult to coordinate major opera
tlons with precision.
Along other sectors Of the front
heio by the British no engagements
Oh Importance are reported.
Along the French front no on
gagements of Importance are record
ed.
