PHILADELPHIA MINT
HAD A BUSY YEAR
TURNED OUT sol, 200, 900 COINS
LARGEST OUTPUT IN THE
WORLD LAST YEAR

PHILADELPHIA Philadel-
phia mint turned out sol, 100000
coins in the last fiscal year.
Raymond T. Baker, director of the
United States Mint, gave out the fig
ures after inspecting the institution.
New die-cutting machines, electric
furnaces and carrying devices have
been installed within the last year
and efficiency methods have been
adopted which greatly increase the
output of the mint.
The increase last year was about
20 per cent over 1919. In 1915 a
little over a million coins were pro-
duced.
Mr.. Baker recently returned from
San Francisco mint where he is pre-
pairing to install improved machinery
similar to that in the Philadelphia
mint
with the recent additions" said
Mr.. Baker, ttthe Philadelphia mint is
now not only the largest mint in this
country but manufactures larger
number of coins than any other mint
In the world"

PONY KILLS RIDER
BUT STAYS WITH BODY

RENO, Nevada. Although he had
thrown his rider and kicked him to
death, the COW pony ridden by T. R.
Judson. employe of the Spanish
ranch near Elko, Nevada, stood for
days by the side of his dead master,
and when found was weak and totter-
ing from want of food and water.
Judson had left the ranch for a ride
and it is presumed the pony's feet
became entangled in a wire and the
rider thrown. The horse had kicked
Judson in the head, killing him in
stantly.
When Judson did not return to the
ranch for several days a party was
sent out to look for him. They found
the horse not ten feet away from the
body, the bride reins dangling to the
ground. Western horses are broken
so that when the reins dangle the
horse will stay in one spot as safely
and securely as when tied.

WHEAT IS CASH IN
PAL0USE COUNTRY
FARMERS CAN SELL FOR CASH
OR BORROW MONEY ON THE
WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS

Sensational stories have been cir
culated among the farmers of this
section to the effect that banks will
not loan money on wheat and that
buyers will not pay cash for wheat
until it is delivered at terminal
1 points, according to the statement of
Professor H. B. Reed, of the Uni
versity of Idaho, who has spent con-
siderable time recently in driving
through the farming sections and
talking with farmers. Professor
Reed said:
"I heard these stories from so
there might be some truth in them,
so I made inquiry at the Moscow
banks and at the mill and grain ware
houses here and ascertained that the
reports are absolutely groundless.
Bankers told me they regard wheat
receipts as the best collateral upon
which to base loans and at the Mark
P. Miller Milling Company's mill
was told they were paying cash for
all wheat offered and the same was
told me at the Farmers Union Ware
house and elevator. But the farmers
are worried and many of them told
me the same story and they really
believe that they cannot get cash for
wheat nor borrow money on ware
house receipts. The press should set
the farmers minds at ease on this
matter"
Inquiry among farmers, many of
whom had heard the story and a
of whom believed it, failed
to discover the source. Those asked
had been told by neighbors or had
heard it in "many places and from
many sources" 1t is believed that
this is part of some political or other !
to influence the farmers
for some Interior purpose. Moscow |
bankers declare there has never been |
a time when farmers could not bor-
row money on warehouse receipts, /
which are considered the very best
collateral. One banker said:
"I have been in the Palouse coun-
Try more than 30 years and have been
in farming, handling grain
and banking all of that time and
here has never been a time when
warehouse receipts were not regard
ed as the very best security and any
armer can borrow any reasonable
amount from his bank on this Sc
.urity. If the banks here have not
he cash they send to Spokane or
Podtland or Seattle and if the banks, !
here have not got it they will get it
rom New York or Chicago or some
ther money market. The story is I
bsolutely without foundation. Ware {
ouse receipts will get money here I,
ny time" L

he knew of at that time, and that he
had never consulted a physician
within the past five years concern
ing any disease The evidence shows
that he mad consulted a physician
within the time stated to ascertain
what if anything was the matter
with HIM, and he was told by the
physician that he had nothing seri-
Gus the matter with him, that he was
merely suffering from indigestion
and sour stomach, and he advised
him in substance to take care Of him
self, and that this would disappear.
The defendant claims, under these
facts, that by stating that he had
never been examined by physician
within the past five years, that he
practiced fraud upon the company.
The question propounded in the ap-
plication is as follows
"Have you been examined by any
physician in the past five years, and
if so, for what disease ?" The an
swer was None
Subdivision 3 of Section 5037 of
the code of this state provides in
substance that the written applica-
tion and the policy constitutes the
entire contract between the parties,
and that all statements made by the
insured in the application in the
absence of fraud shall be deemed
and not warranty.
In the Joyce on insurance. Section
1884, we find ga misrepresentation
in insurance is an oral or written
statement made by the assured to
the under writer, or his authorized
agent of something of fact which is
untrue, is known to be untrue, and is
stated with intent 10 mislead or de-
ceive.
In the case of Rasicott VS.. Royal
18 Idaho, page 85, it was
decided that question in the ap-
olication as to consultation with or
attended by a physician, doesn't refer
% consultation or attendance for a
slight indisposition. This case was
approved in the note to Cole VS..
Mutual Life ms. Co. in 1918. In
,ther words, when an applicant |
tates that he has not consulted any I
physician for any disease, it does not |
mean that he is intending to COM
