Independent Republicans Meet
at jamestown Tomorrow to
Endorse Candidates
McCUMBER IS CENTER ., :.
OF CONVENTION FIGHT
Federal Candidate Ha. Lead
ing Role on Political Stage;
Christianson "Best Bet"
(By United Press)

Bismarck, N. D., April 18-For the
first time in eight years federal can
didate is playing the leading part on
he political stage in North Dakota. In
tense interest centers in the senatorial
race of the independent Republican
convention at Jamestown tomorrow.
Their candidates will oppose ex-Gover-
nor Lynn J. Fraser, non-partisan cam
didate, at the June primaries. 49,.
Choice of the convention tomorrow
will probably be between Porter j. Nc
Cumber, present member; A. j. Gron-
ma, former senator defeated two years
ago by E. F. Ladd; P. D. Norton, for
mer Congressman, and Jugge A. M.
Christianson, of the state supreme
court. Others mentioned as likely to
draw considerable support from the
independent voters association are j.
ID. Bacon, Grand Forks publisher, and
Theo. G. Nelson, secretary manager
Of the independents.
North Dakota voters will lineup
at the June primaries on the issue of
"for or against the league" in spite
Of the efforts Of some of the candi-
date to point with pride to the Hard
ing administration.
McCumber will be the centre of the
fight at the convention. While he is
not expected to muster enough
strength to gain endorsement he may
be strong enough to prevent the in
dependent republicans from going on
record as favoring any candidate. An
attempt which would be approved BY
state candidates who fear endorse
ment will hurt their chances OF sue
cess at the June primaries.
1t is generally admitted that the in
dependents will gontspl the. James,
town convention. Heretofore the or
ganization has not mixed in federal
affairs but McCunmbers attitude dur
ing the recall election last year in
which he refused to take q stand has
thrown the I. V. A. actively into the
fight against him
McCumber, however. will have his
own following and the fact that the
of the convention have not
rallied around any one standard has
weakened the Senator's opposition.
Gronna, in the opinion Of many re-
publicans, weakened himself when he
appeared to make bid for league
support in his former announcement,
his supporters in the league conven-
ton lost in "A strenuous fight to gain
endorsement of the nonpartisans.
Judge Christensen seems to be, the
best bet and it is believed by many
that formal announcement Of his
anddacy would crystalline the major
ity sentiment in his favor Although
the Judge has refused to formally
announce himself, that the fact that
he has not quashed propaganda in be-
half of his nomination is taken to
mean that he would accept the endor-
sement.
1t is probable that J. F. T. O!Con-
nor may be democratic candidate%

SCHROEDER DAIRY FARM
UNDERC0ES IMPROVEMENT

The Alfalfa Dairy farm owned and
operated by w. G. Schroeder, located
about four miles West Of Bemidj, has
undergone number of improvements
in the past year which have cost con-
siderable money, with view to I'M
proving the, conditions of the large
herd of pure bred cows which Mr..
Schroeder has been adding to each
ear This farm has always been point
ed to with pride as an example Of
dairy farming and has never been al
lowed to get into a rundown condition
On the contrary, any worthy I'M
provement in the dairy business has
been adopted. The Ga head Of Hol-
stein cattle on this farm were recent
ly tested by the city veterinarian and
found to be in healthy condition, no
reactions showing up in the tuber-
culosis test, all being free from that
disease, and in line to be classcd Us
a credited herd when passed in the
state test.
improvements costing 5000 have
been completed in the cow barn and
an enlarged cooling room costing
$500 in which the milk is kept, Il
new we'll driven to depth Of 60 feet
for pure water for the stock, and one
more delivery outfit makes this IA
model dairy in every way.
Fred Webster and sno are en-
ployed to look after the herd and at
tend to the proper milking, these
men being considered experts in this
line.
Mr.. Schroeder has also found it
profitable to, raise 20 head of thor
oughbred Duroc hogs in connection
with dairying. A heating plant to be
used when necessary is another i'm
provement for the stock barn.

ILLEGAL POLICIES
REQUIRED HERE
Major Fort Furnishes Another An
gle Of Fire Insurance Situa-
ton Locally

Not only are the fire insurance
rates here high but the book Of fire
insurance rates for Americus carries
instructions that the rs per cent CO.
insurance clause is required in all
policies covering either buildings or
contents, or both, excepting only
buildings occupied solely for dwell
ing purposes and their contents.
The effect of the IS per cent CO.
insurance clause is this: Suppose
you have storehoues with $4,000.
You buy $2500 policy. Later you
have a fire loss of $4,000 How much
insurance could you collect? If your
policy contains the rs per cent co..
Insurance clause you would be en-
titled to collect $1,000. The iasur-
ance companies figure against you in
this manner: Under the rs per cent
co-lnsurance clause you agree to in
sure your property to full rs per
cent Of its value. In the event you
do not carry that much insurance you
stand your proportion Of the loss. I'M
der the above illustration you would
be co-insurer to the extent of
$4,000. In the settlement; the in5ur-
ancc company could say: You arc
carrying $4,000 and we are carrying
$500, the loss is $4,000, therefore,
cur proportion of the loss is one
third, or $10GG.
In the case Of the Fireman's Fund
Insurance Co. vs.s Pekor decided in
1873, it was held by the Supreme
court that the rs per cent co-insur-
ance clause above mentioned was le-
gal. o.,
However, in 1912 the legislature
OF Georgia established an insurance
department with authority to pre-
scribe standard forms of policies and
making it unlawful for any company
uoing business in this state to write
poleleS on any but standard approved
forms.
The following letter from the Of
VI tAe insurance commissioner
oi this state shows that the rs per
cent eo-lnsurance. clause is not In
ciuded IN the standard forms:
'lnasmuch as the issue of a fire
insurance policy containing a. rs pei
N9"C co-lnsurance clause, by any com.

Madam g Caruso is certain that
Baby Glofa will follow her father in

Gloria is "her fathers girl" She
looks like hau, and in her baby way
talks like him and has his gestures

She loves to sing. she's not bash
full when asked to sinS-. Her roper
toire is not large, but its scope is
wide, for ie runs from "The Three
Blind Mice" to bits from her fathers
arias.
''Gloria never heard her father sing
on the stage" says Madame Caruso.
"But, until he was taken sick, he
often sang lullabies to her. and. ev-
cry day she hears records Of his songs
on the phonogfaph."
The child never can hear enough
Of the Caruso records.
"Daddym she exclaims, when the
record begins to turn and the tener's
voice, stilled by death, but preserved
by sciene, fills the room with cad
ence.
'Daddyw she repeats, and tries ia
sing with him.
There is something about seeing
this child, standing tip-toe on sturdy
little legs with fascinatingly dimpled
knees, looking wistfully into depths
of the phonograph, that brings tears
to ones eyes.
Baby Gloria cannot realize that
she'll never see her father again.
