An Explanation
Of the so per cent Clause on Fire
Insurance Policies

we md that good many owners of
buildings and merchants carry the 80
per cent reduced rate clause in their
IRE insurance policies but do not know
just how it operates in case of a fire.
We have tried in the following para
graphs to show clearly. in as few
words as possible, how the clause
works.
1st-WHEN IT DOES NOT OPERATE.
When the insurance equals o.: exceeds
so per cent Of the value covered
(b) When, whatever the insurance.
the loss equals or exceeds so per
cent of value.
2nd-WHEN IT DOES OPERATE.
Only when neither the total insurance
nor loss equals so per cent Of value.
3rd-HOW IT OPERATES.
II is simply a guarantee that insurance
shall be at least so per cent of value;
if 1t is less the assured will share
in any loss that does not equal or
exceed so per cent of value. (See
examples.)
Value Of stock $4,000
$4,000
ms. carried, SIS of amt. required)
:. =. ;. $4,000
Loss .00-The companies will
settle as though there were $4,000,
insurance; that is. they will pay SIS
Of 100000 and the assured will
bear 3-S. The companies pay
S625.00. assured loses $4,000.
Loss s5,000.00-The companies pay SIS,
or S3.125.00 and assured loses $l,S75.
Loss $S,000.00-The companies pay SIS
or 100000 which is the face of their
policies; the assured loses 3-S, or
100000, because of inadequate in
surance. (The loss being so per
cent or over. the co-insurance clause
does not affect the adjustment)
In all the foregoing instances the as
sured would have contributed moth
ing if he had carried the sS,00000 in
surance. If he had carried 100000
insurance the companies would have
paid only As; if he had carried
100000 insurance, they would have
paid IS OF the loss.
You can see from these examples
that the only way to be protected
when using the clause is to be sure
that the amount of your insurance is
up to at least so per cent of the value
of your building or mercantile stock.
How did your insurance compare
with the inventory you took January
1st?-
Telephone 1O1 for more information
regarding this clause or for more in
surance.

New York, Aug 6.-There was a further sensational advance of some $7 to $S per bale in the cotton market today, with all active months making new high records for the season. The general list closed steady at net ad- vance of 137 to l43 points.
 There was a good deal of reaction ary talk around the ring at the start The early weather news held out some hope of a break in the Texas drouth, and there was selling on a belief that the recent buying had weakened the technical position of the market. Of ferings were we'll taken on the decline however. The presence of this de- mand seemed to alarm early sellers and later the covering became more active and excited on indications that the tropical storm which had been counted upon for relief from Texas drouth' was more likely to reach the central CT eastern belts, where dry weather is considered desirable.
 Brokers with Wall street connec- tions were heavy buyers on the ad vance and nervous stop orders were uncovered as prices worked above the high levels of yesterday
 The close was several points off from the best under realizing. For eign trade buying was attributed to the continued crop deterioration re- ports from the Southwest.

LATEST AIR RAID ON
 ENGLAND A FAILURE
One Zeppelin Brought Down. Another Damaged and Third Driven Off in Attempted Raid Monday Night.

London, Aug. 6.-The attempted raid by German Zeppelins on the east Anglian coast last night, proved to be a complete fasco.
 British fiers, who are ever on the alert along the coast, were ready for the visitors and met them we'll out at sea, bringing down one in flames, damaging a second and driving the third away
 What happened to the other two airships in the squadron is not dis closed in the official statement. The fact, however, that the report said: "Zeppeins crossed the coast" is ground for the presumption that these did reach land.
 There is no evidence that they dropped any bombs and it is probable that their crews were kept busy pro tecting their ships against British airmen.
 The official statement reads:
 Five enemy airships attempted to cross the coast last night. but while still at sea were attacked by royal air force contingents, cooperating with navy units.
 Three were engaged in action and one was shot down in flames 40 miles from the coast. Another was dam
