Its strangeness is purely sub

the instructive reluctance of mind
to admit the possibility of peers.
Such would be comic were 1t not
for the Inevitable consequence Of
the constitution of the universe.
To be shy at anything resembling
himself is part and parcel Of mans
own individuality.
Like the savage. who fears moth
ing so much as a strange man;
like Crusoe. who grew pale at
the sight of footprints not his
own; the civilized thinker turns
from the thought Of mind other
than he himself knows.
Look at Mars and you viii see

flight Of the gasses Of the atmos-
phere, seas, rivers and lakes alike
will leave you, and nothing will
remain but arid deserts and the
wintry Artic and Antartic. Thence
alone will you be able to derive
moisture for the sustenance Of the
vegetation, which, In turn, win

BEACH FARMERS
CAN'T GETPAY
FOR LOST CROP

It was the intent of the legislative
committee which revised the state
hail insurance law last winter to
provide that grain be insured against
loss only while standing, Martin Ha-
gen, manager Of the department, said
in a circular letter issued to q
number of farmers in Golden Valley
and Dunn county who suffered loss
by hail after their grain was in the
shock.
It is reported from Beach that
farmers in Golden Valley county are
planning to bring suit to test the law
on this point.
The. Attorney-General's department
has issued an opinion to the effect
that the law, which provides grain
shall be insured only until harvest:
ed does not protect grain after it
has been cut. Some claimants assert
that the word harvested means until
the farmer has realized on the grain
by threshing. :
Mr.. Hagen declared the depart
ment was opposed by any change in
the law which would permit insuriny'
of grain which has been cut. assert
ing it was not in acord with estab
lished insurance practice.
