INSURANCE co.
is SUBJECT TO
Nd. SCRUTINY
Actuary's Report Finds Az
fairs of Farmers Insurance
Company Muddled
FINANCES ARE SHOWN

Affairs of the Farmers Insurance
Company, fire insurance corpor
alton Of North Dakota with head
quarters in Dickinson, are being sub
jected to the scrutiny of the state
department Of insurance. Commits
sioner Of Insurance S. A. Olsness
has made public report of Wesley
Styles, actuary examiner, and has
asked the AttorneyGencral's office
to consider some questions in con-
nection with the company.
The Farmers Insurance Company,
according to the report, is in the
hands of receiver, Lyall B. Merry.
Language fails in any attempt to
describe the scheming and Juggling
in transactions connected with the
management of the Farmers Insur-
ancc Company in which some well
meaning persons have become in
volved,' says the report Of Mr..
Styles.
The company was incorporated
February II, 1919, with an author
lied capital of $25O,OOO. The COM
pany has written fire and tornado
risks in the state Of North Dakota
| only, and hail risks have been re-
insured in a Minneapolis company.
The statement of the examiner,
! made as of December 81. 1928, shows
a deficit had been incurred of $780,
l74.l?, and the capital stock is $lO2,-
096.23 In reporting the income.
the examiner says that it would APP
pear from the records of the COM
pany that the premiums are proper
ly accounted for.
Among other things the examiner
points out that notes aggregating
$79,6S5.O0, given for capital stock,
were cancelled by the board Of di
! rectors on January 8, 1924.
Among the assets not admitted"
listed in the report, are certificates
of deposits on closed banks aggre-
eating $2G.251.15, accounts in closed
banks, $2,s42.87; checks on closed
banks, $4,000; notes receivable for
capital stock, $l2s,303.77.

NO CALLS FOR
FIRE FIGHTERS
IN TWO MONTHS
City Residents Are Cautious,
Believe Firemen; Gas and
Electricity Help

Its two months today since the
Bismarck fire department had its
last call! - z.
For the past sixty-two days Bis
marck has been model town, as far
as fires go. And it's model state is
accounted for, by local firemen, by
the fact that it's residents are eau
tious of fires: they take precautions
which will lessen the chances of
fires. Old fire traps have been large
ly cleared away; rubbish is being
collected and destroyed before it has
a chance to collect in sufficient guam.
titles to start spontaneous COM
bustion blaze.
And then, the constantly increasing
number Of gas and electric stoves be-
ing used, they add, is also doing
much toward fire elimination. Form
erly when wood ranges and gasoline
or kerosene stoves were used in the
majority of homes fires were regu.
lar happening. A chimney would be.
come over-heated, gasoline stove
would explode, and the fire depart
ment would have job on it's hands
1t is very seldom, says firemen
that fire results from an overhcated
gas stove, if such is possibility
and the hot summer months are such
that they encourage the use of the
cooler gas or electric stoves.
Occupied with the new degree OF
caution and the growing use of the
less dangerous means of cooking, we
have been lucky" says the firemen
Gin not having single fire for two
months. Lets keep being lucky
though" they say"
