Farmers Insurance Co.
Elects0Gcers for Year

Friday, June 20, the Barnes County
Farmers Mutual Insurance Co. held it's
regular annual meeting for the pur-
pose of electing four members to the
board of directors, and the transaction
of such other business as might come
before the meeting. There was good
attendance from all over the county,
many coming in to witness the demon
stration of the Minimax fire extin-
guisher given by A. M. Seekell, a rep
resentative Of the Minimax company,
of New York. After seeing the work
of the extinguisher the members of
the board of directors convened and
Mr.. Seekell explained the construction
and operation of the mahcine, with the
result that the board of directors pass
ed a resolution endorsing and recon-
mending it's efficiency, and authoriz-
ing the secretary to communicate with
all policy holders to the end that they
install one or more of the extinguish-
ers in their houses and other farm
buildings. Arrangements were made
with the Minimax company to furnish
at once two dozen extinguishers for
sale to members of the company, and
it is expected that at least 100 will be
installed before next fall, as policy
holders will secure the extinguisher at
a reduced rate. The board of directors
were so we'll pleased and satisfied with
the machine that the first dozen was
disposed of to them before the meeting
adjourned. -
Secretary w. w. Smith submitted
his report, Showing that on June %,
1917, the company had cash balance
on hand Of $4,843.48 and insurance in
force Of $2,871,224. During the past
six months nine loss claims were fled
amounting In ali to about $4,000, all Of
which have been adjusted and settled,
which will leave small balance on
hand g.
As the company has no debts and all
losses are provided for, it was not
deemed necessary to levy any ASSESS
ment In 1917 unless a greater need
makes it necessary than at present ap-
pears. ....... .s...
On account of the marked increase
in value of horned stock it was voted
to increase the liability for loss Of
cattle to $35 per head, instead Of $25
as heretofore.
Al tue eleCtlOu Oh members the IOl-
lowing were elected to serve on the
board of directors: J. H.. Whitcher
John Baumgartner, L. Noltimier and
Lee Cowell. On organization Of the
board Of directors the following nam
ed were elected as officers of the CON-
pany for the ensuing year: Hugh Nc

tary; Louis Noltimier, treasurer, and

Worth Of Chautauqua

The opening days of the Chautauqua
proved great days. Not only were the
programs of the very best, but the
crowds were the largest ever attend
ing during the opening days. Satur-
day evening, Sunday afternoon and
evening people came from afar and
the large auditorium was well filled.
The University concert band played
their closing number Sunday evening
and all regret seeing the boys leave.
Their concerts have been of a high
class, the boys very pleasing and gen.
tlemanly at all times, making it a
pleasure to have them about, as we'll
as their musical programs being of the
very best. The Ionian Serenaders,
who appeared Saturday afternoon
and evening, proved fine and captured
their audiences from their first ap-
pearance. James. w. Foley was the
headlfner Sunday afternoon. He was
at his best and the large crowd was
captivated with his readings. His
pleasing personality won their hearts
from the start and minute after min.
ute as he continued his reading their
interest grew and to all the end came
seemingly In but few minutes, when
in fact he had continued for full
hour. Mr.. Foley is well known in VAL
ley City and It was very gratifying to
his many friends to again meet and
hear him. Mr.. Foley will make his
farewell appearance this evening. The
Cardova concert company rendered
two programs and proved of high
class. They are on again Monday
afternoon and evening.
Rev. Vermilya preached a great SER
mon Sunday morning at the auditor
ium and it is to be regretted the audi
torium was not filled in place of but
couple of hundred. It was master
piece of modern thought and gave his
hearers something to thing about rel
ative to the problems Of today
The attendance of Sunday afternoon
was estimated at from 5000 to $500
and the evening about the same, and
this vast audience joined with Mrs.
Craswell in singing the old songs. It
was great to hear the multitude and
note their ready response to their
leaders wishes. 1t is worth the price
of admission alone to come and sing
with this community singing leader.
Come and try it.. She will have you
singing whether you wish or not. Men
sang Sunday who never supposed they
could sing. This is proving very
interesting and pleasing feature.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings IN All
the Leading Stocks

New York, July 31.-Probably in
anticipation of favorable report by
the United States Steel Corporation for
the second quarter, but more likely be-
cause of technical conditions, today's
carly stock market moved steadily up
ward. Extensive selling in the last
hour more than oblterated some of
these gains, the lost closing with an
irregular tone.
Steels and most of the war and semi
war descriptions rose one to almost
three points in the forenoon, and mo-
tors. in which a large short interest
is said to exist, scored gross gains of
one to IL points on active dealings.
Coppers. sugars, tobaccos and leath-
ers shared unevenly in the temporary
rise, gains varying from l to points.
Rails were more prominent than usual,
being helped to higher levels by the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission allowing higher rates for
coal and coke and western and south
orn sections but the late selling also
affected that division.
The steel statement which did not
issue until the end of the session, dis
closed total earnings of 500, 579 204
after deducting almost $54,000.000 for
war income and excess profits taxes
Steefs high quotation of the day was
