considerable more than twice as many
acres insured in 1919 as in 1913, that
the loss paid was only Is per cent
more.
Taking these two considerations
into account, 1t Is exceedingly doubt
full il the present act Is any great i'm
proyement over private insurance.
That the law could be made to be of
considerable beneht to the people Of
the state is indicated by the expert
enceFof South Dakota. In North Da-
kota: the cost per acre runs approx
mately 80 cents for a 81 an acre in
surance. South Dakota furnishes a
SO an acre protection for IS cents an
acre. Had North Dakota furnished
SO an acre protection, the cost would
have been within 6.8 cents Of the old
line average premium. in 1918. A real
state hail insurance act might have
saved the people of the state several
million dollars, while 1t is very ques-
tionable If the present act has saved
them anything.
Is Hybrid Idea.
Had sthe act been compulsory,
about ten cents an acre addition to
the three cent tax would have paid the
losses for 1919 and would not have
been a hardship for those who
elected to try state insurance. The
law should either work by zones after
the South Dakota idea, or should be
compulsory, after the Canadian idea.
The hybrid North Dakota law works
a hardship upon the insured in those
areas where there is seldom hail."

darkness and snow would help them
in their escape. They were seen by an
but they paid 10 hssa. TkeNoince
then fired two shots in the air, but
with no result He then fired at the
ground in their vicinity as they fled,
and it is believed that one of the bull
lots vas detected by the frozen
ground and struck one Of the boys in
the thigh.
4 This boy was captured and put I'M
der medical attention, but the other
boy escaped and to date is still at
large. The wounded boy will recover
as the bullet was located and removed.

SAVING IS
EXAGGERATED,
SAYS PACKARD
Packard Contends That the
Present State Hail Law is
Of Doubtful Value.

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. 17.-Assist-
ant Attorney General F. E.. Packard
IN a statement issued today asserts
that the declaration Of the Townley
press that state hail insurance saved
North Dakota $1,000, 900 in 1919 is on
o par with previously published as
that the Bank Of North Da-
kota had made $4,000 for the people
OF North Dakota during its first five
months existence.
According to- the state insurance
department" says Mr.. Packard, "the
total risks written by private COM
panies in 1918 were $36,O97,s11.6 GA;
the Q premiums paid were $2,-
696,697.17; The losses paid were So
es4,412.2o, and the net profit to the
insurance companies was $~2,284.S5.
The average premium was Is cents
ma $40 G acre risk. The maximum
risk under the state law was 81 per
acre. On this basis the old line. pre-
MUM was So IL cents an acre.
Still quoting the insurance de-
partment." continued Mr.. Packard,
t three cents an acre tax levied by
the present law on 20, zoos, 800 acres
produced e revenue of $S4o209.70 "a.
The umbe of acres presumed to
have been insured total IL Id mil
lion, but owing to errors in listing the
indemnity la was levied against only
100000 acres. which, at 20 cents
an acre, yielded. ~$2,750,000, making
the total gross venue under the act
$500, 209.7O. The total risks as
sumed by the state were about ST.
900. 900.
Figures And Saving.
Applying last years average old
line premium of 81 1-2 cents an acre
to the 100000 acres insured in
1919 under the state law, we get $5,-
i75,000 as the gross premiums. To
arrive at the cost under the state de-
partment we must deduct from this
S under old line insurance the cost
under state insurance, namely, 3d.
59O,290.70. This shows a saving of
s2,184.709.03. Sd,
ut must not be forgotten, how
ever, that The three cents an acre tax
was levied on more than $4,000, 900
acres, while there were only 11,OOO,-
900 acres insured, leaving more than
17,ooo,oOo acres which paid a tax Of
three cents a n acre without deriving
n benefit. 70 get at the actual saw
ing to the people of the state, this tax
of .$51O,209.7O must be deducted from
the saving above arrived at, further
reducing it to $1,674,499.33. n
Instead of saving the farmers of
the state $1,000. 900, the state hail in
ouTdICe pan saved Llem $1,ol0,VOV.
In other words, the 'Townley press ex-
a%ggerated a trif1e better than four
times, which is a fair batting average.
Must Wait For Settlement.
There is another phase Of state
hail insurance under the present law:
The insured who suffers loss must
wait until a tax. is levied and paid, the
greater part of a year after he 5,ac-
tlI111V S1lfferc a1nNC for ~ 14" rr11nr etSSsnr
he may discount his warrant at a local
bank orr cash it at par at the state
bank. In any event, interest must be
paid on the whole loss for a, period of
many months.
Complaint is very general that the
adjustments were too conservative
that the. actual loss was not always
paid. This would appear to be indi-
Gated by the fact that while there was

A Sure Way To
End Dandruf

There is n sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and hat is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain;
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or
four applications will complete
ly dissolve n entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of it, no matter
how much dandrun you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, ~lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft. and look and
feel a Hundred times better

Strike At One Ice Plant,
Accident at Another, On
Friday, the Thirteenth

Friday, the thirteenth was bad luck
to two of Richm1onds ice delivery
companies, with the result that the
citys ice supply was considerably re-
Guced.
Friday morning the deliverymen
employed by the Independent Ice &
Fuel company went out on strike and
that concern was compelled to suspend
deliveries. The company was at.
tempting to supply its patrons Satur-
day, although the drivers and helpers
were still on strike.
An accident to the plant Of the Su.
perior Ice company forced that con-
Germ to suspend its deliveries Friday
For time it was thought the damage
done to the plant would require some
time to remedy, but repairs had prac-
tically been completed Saturday and
by Monday the plant will again be
operating at full capacity. The Super
ior company made its regular deliver.
les Saturday with a carload Of ice
which had been purchased to meet the
emergency.
The Crystal Ice company was the
only plant in the city which was able
tc make deliveries Friday.
1t is said that the strike at the Inde
pendent Ice company was the result ol
a wage dispute.
