Pierre, July 14.-Despite the fact
that there were 129 fewer fires dur
ing the year just closed than in the
twelve months previous, in South Da-
kota, there were thirty-three persons
who were burned to death in the state
last year. This was brought out by

The decreased loss was accredited to

WILSON TO START
TOUR OF COUNTRY
SENATE AskspFor Synopsis Of Proceed
ings Mt Peace Conference

Washington, July Examinations
that the senate foreign relations COM
mittee might not arrange for an earl,
conference with President Wilson fol-
q discussion OF the peace treaty and
the league Of nations covenant led to
the suggestion today that Mr.. Wilson
might begin his tour of the country
Dol than he had planned.
Fixing of the itinerary for the
swing around the circle" was under
stood to have been delayed to await
the completion of the committees
program in order that there might be
no conflict. The committee met again
today and, laying aside temporarily,
tile question of asking for more infor-
nation, began the reading of the Of
fetal text Of the treaty submitted by
the president.
Among the administration senator's
the impression prevailed that the
president and committee undoubtedly
would be brought together to discuss
some features of the treaty 1t raj
expected however, these meetings
will be at the white house rather than
at the capitol.
The foreign relations committee
later adopted a resolution requesting
the president, IL not incompatible
with the public interest, to furnish
the committee virtually all documents
considered by the American commits
sion In their work on the treaty with
Germany.
It was said the resolution of which
Senator Johnson. republican of Cali
fornia, was the author was adopted
by virtually a unanimous vote and
the action on the measure was not
considered. It requests the president
to submit drafts of all proposals for a
league of nations as well as steno-
graphic transcript of formal proceed
ings at the peace conference.

Some Farmers Views
On Newspaper Advertising

II advertising IL q waste of money,
why do 20 many farmers advertise In
their local and farm papers!
In order TO ind an answer to this
question. the department NJ journai-
ism at the South Dakota State college
wrote letters to nearly hundred
farmers asking them for their exper-
fence with advertising. Here 10 what
some OF them replied:
Hillerest Farm. Clark. 8. Oak We
have been so successful with advertise
ing our seed grains, that next year
we plan on erecting a new granary
and more equipment to clean and
handle grain, and also on buying a
new truck
Bevington Farms, Highmore. We
have found that Il pays TO use the local
papers AS to the farm papers. the
best success is obtained in those COW
ering our natural selling territory.
J.. M. Tucker, Edgemont. We have
been so successful IN selling little pigs
thru local papers that WI have been
unable to keep up with the demand.
M. A. Slocum, Ipswich Yes, 1t pays
to let people know what you have to
sell. People believe IN advertisement
since they think the editor stands
good for it's being true.
Chas. p. Mcpherson, Sturgis. ! am
sure 1t has paid me OF advertise in the
local and farm papers. Perhaps a
neighbor might want what you have
for sale, and the way to let him know
is by advertising.
Bright Side Farm, Lily. I am high
ly pleased with selling thru advertis-
ing. A small ad in u county seat
paper sold all our purebred eggs for
Matching. My ads in farm papers have
sold my Duroc hogs, Yes, I certain
ly am In favor OF advertising.

How You Can Convert
Your Govt Insurance

The endowment policies are CON-
ing more and more into favor with
men carrying life insurance. These
policies run for various periods OF
years but probably the n best known
is the 20 year endowment This policy
Is one on which the insured pays pre-
miums for 20 years and at the end OF
that time, he receives the face value
of his policy in a lump sum. On this
policy, the insured not only pays for
protection, but he has to add enough
to that to build up a savings fund
which will amount to the face value
If his. policy at the end of 20 years.
Because OF this fact. the 20 rear en-
dowment policy is a very expensive
policy. although it is probably the
most talked of policy Of all, yet in a
vast majority of cases, it is the least
practicable. 1t is a good policy for
young men making large salaries who
are unable to save because this policy
loads them down with a heavy prem
ium and compels them to save. 1t will
teach them to be thrifty. 1t is also
a good policy in a business sense for
{ hemen who are looking forward 20
years and have a definite place for
this particular sum of money they ex-
pect to receive at that time. But this
policy has some serious objections,
especially for young men In the first
place, 1t natures when they are too
young. 1t leaves them without insur-
ance at a time in their lives when they
will still need insurance but they eth
err have to pay a very high premium
rate for a new policy at that age or
they will be unable to secure another
policy because of some physical defect.
It also natures at an impracticable
age except for the man who is carry
ing it purely as a business policy, be-
cause the average man is at the
height of his career from 40 to So, and
does lot need a policy to mature dur
ing those years.
The yearly premium or each $1,000
of insurance on the government policy
Is as follows:
Age 20-$39.10.
Age 25-$39.35.
Age 30-$39.69.
Age 35-$4O.2S
