TAKE INSURANCE
 ON WEATHER

New York. Aug. 10-The British custom of taking out weather insur- ance has acquired a strong foOthold in the United States.
 Five major league baseball clubs this season have thus safeguarded themselves on all of their Saturday, Sunday and holiday playing dates while many minor league magnates are similarly protecting their ex- chequerS.
 More than s1.5oo,ooo was under written in rain insurance for the last Four of July it is estimated. Fair weather was general, and less than $100,000 was paid policy holders. La Dor Day is expected to break the July Fourth record.
 A British company underwrote S750,000 rain insurance policy for Tex Rickard as protection against finan- cial setbacks which the elements might have caused on July 2, the day of the Denipsey-Carpentier bout. The premium of this policy was reported to have been S75,000.
 Colleges also have begun to insure against rainy Saturdays during the football season, ana state and county fairs are likewise taking up the prac- tce. Underwriters report that horse racing promoters and owners of boats used for holiday excursions are their bigger clients. In the winter they insure ice skating rinks on the tenn perature remaining below freezing.
 Summer resort hotels insure them selves against bad weather over week ends and department stores do the same thing for days on which they have advertised sales expected to at tract particularly large numbers of purchasers.
 The insurance companies charge premiums ranging from 2 1-2 to 25 per cent of the policy and even higher in rare instances. Rates are based on the average rainfall in any locality over a ten year period and on the month in which the event insured is fal< n1aCe

FIVE THOUSAND INDIANS PLAN
 P0W-W0W
City of Tepees Will Rise on Prairie Will Be Ad- dressed By Great White Fathers.

New York, Aug. 10-The marked advance of the Indian in progress and civilization will be illustrated during the four days, August 19 to 22, when several thousand Dakotans will as semble in convocation at Oak Creek. South Dakota, under the leadership of the Right Rey. Hugh Latimer the District. The Indians will come from points within a radius of several hundred miles, in all sorts of convey anceS, making a picturesque process sion across the prairie, bearing aIoft Church of which they are communi- cants. On the banks of Oak Creek they will erect a city of tepees, in the centre of which will be reared an features of the convocation, which will also include a business meet ing at which they will be addressed by the new Federal Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
 The convocation will be wholly re-
 igious in character. as distinguished from Frontier Day celebrations and County Fair attractions, and is de- signed to bring together in close com union the Sioux and other tribes men from the Rosebud and surrounding agencies, who under the administra- tions of Bishop Burleson and his pre- decessors, have made remarka ble progress in the ways of Christian ci- vilization. It's special significance at this time lies in the fact that the Centenary of the Missionary Society of the Episcopal Church is being eel ebrated this year, and the meeting will serve to illustrate this advance of the Indian under the contributing influence of the missionary move ment during the past hundred years On August 22 the convocation will terminate, tepees will be struck, and the Indians will follow the trail across the prairie to their peaceful occupa- tions on the farm and in store and shop.
