vious position with regard to the GER

insure collection on the certificates 1t
held. Waters had directed the North
Dakota banks to refuse to pay the GER
tificates until the Bankers Insurance
company had settled its accounts Will

company, which had insured farmers
crops to the amount of 81 an acre, hat
been hard hit by the drouth and wa:
unable to pay losses until the certlfi
Gates of deposit could be paid. Bank
