GARDENING DAYS IN PHILIP

These are days when Philip folks
are busy gardening A good many
plots have been plowed in fine
shape lately, and now any evening
you can look in any direction and
see industrious citizens bumped
over a little furrow in the black
soil scattering lettuce and radish
seeds. One fat friend of ours wad-
dies around in the soft earth with
a good deal of groaning and grunt
ing, but his wife sits by the kitch-
en- window, darning the family
socks, and sees that he does the
work. He confided to US the other
day that he thinks it is cheaper
to buy vegetables at the store
in cans, and much more sanitary.
Yet he puffs End sweats around in
his garden chese days, because his
wife wants him to. This will get
lot of other Philip fellows into
trouble, we know, but it is a true
story, nevertheless.

STATE HAIL INSURANCE
FAVORED BY FARMERS

ID. M. Bannister, adjuster for the
state hail insurance department,
was a pleasant caller at this office
on Monday. Mr.. Bannister address
ed the Haakon county assessors
here on Monday afternoon and did
much towards explaining the state
hail insurance law SO that it is.
understood. He has met with the
assessors in many of the counties
of the state during the past few
weeks and tells us that wherever
the provisions and intent of the
measure is understood the farmers
generaly favor it.
The hail insurance law was pass
ed in 1919, with an appropriation
of $50,000.00 to put the law into
operation. This money was in the
nature Of loan and has since been
paid back to the state. At the
present time there is a fund of
ST SOC, 100000, which belongs to the
farmers of the state and will be
used to pay the losses sustained
from hail. The law provides that
the rate shall remain the same as
at the present time until the fund
reaches $500, 100000, when the rate
will be reduced. Thus it will be
seen that while the farmers are
now paying only about one-half
the rate charged by the old line
companies, this in a few years viii
be reduced very materially, SO that
| in time the premium will be SO
small that it will not be noticed
along with other taxes.
Mn Bannister pointed out that
the interest on the $500, 10000 il
loaned would take care Of all the
losses, SO that the hail insurance
