Increase in Assets, Prem
iumS Over Previous Years
Reported by State.
BY CLARENCE C. WYSONG

AT the close of the present year
the records of the insurance de-
partment of Indiana show that there
has been a substantial increase in
the insurance business in the State
and an increase in the assets of all
companies operating therein.
Taking the increase in the insur-
ance business and the healthy con-
dition of the companies into con-
Sideration this would indicate that
the State from an economic stand
point, has had a prosperous year.
Insurance has become a vital factor
III the life of the individual citizen,
so much so that it affects the life
Of each man, woman and child
tWenty-four hours a day.
In fact insurance has become al
most the warp and woof' of the
economic independence of the aver
age citizen. Today we have forms
of insurance which cover every &C
tivity; forms, which decade ago
were unknown, and the insurance
business generally speaking has be-
come an intricate and highly de-
veloped business.
Public Help Needed
The average taxpayer knows very
little about the activities and the
functions of the insurance depart
ment; in fact this lack of knowledge
brings about a great many mis-
understanding where if the average
policyholder knew that there was
maintained by the State a depart
ment to supervise all insurance bust
ness and to bring about coordination
between insurer and insured, the
department would be able to render
greater service and the public at
large would benefit thereby
The department premium tax and
fee collections for the fiscal year
ending Sept. 30, 1927, amounted to
$1,9l6, $1,000, an increase of $780,
229.14 over the corresponding period
of 1926.

OF WOOL LARGEST SINCE 1911
 ANNOUNCES REPORT

WASHINGTON, D. o., Aug. 13. (P) Wool production in the United States for 1927 is estimated to be the largest since 1911, according to a re- port issued July 23 by the Bureau of Agricultural Economies. The full test of the report follows:
 The amount of wool shorn in the United States in 1927 is 11,477,000 pounds greater than the amount shorn in 1926, according to the preli- estimate of the Department of Agriculture. The total produc- tion is estimated at, 272,453,000 pounds, compared with 260,976,000 in 1926 and is the largest since 1911.
 The increased production this year over last is due to the increase in number of sheep shorn, which more than offset the decrease in the aver age weight per fleece. The number shorn is reported as 35,642,000 in 1927 and 33,54S,O00 in 1926. The average weight per fleece was 7.6 in 1927 and 7.S last year.
 The increase in the number of sheep shorn is general throughout the country, all the important sheep states, except Montana, showing more this year than last. In the western group of States, where about 60 per cent of the wool is produced, the average weight per fleece de- creased from 8.1 pounds in 1926 to 7S pounds in 1927. This accounts for the decrease in the United States average, although there was slight increase in the southern States.

INSISTS TAKE DONKEY TO BED WIEN
 ENTERING HOSPITAL

LONDON, Aug. 13. (P-When it's bedtime at Peshawar, on the north west border of India, there's native who goes to sleep with his donkey. Yes, every night, not just on the D. T. nights.
 At least, so says Miss M. Clarke, medical missionary at Peshawar, who has arrived in London to tell her ex- perience among the natives. The na- tive in question recently went to a hospital.
 T know that Pm very i'll, and know I've got to come into the hos pital," the native said to Miss Clarke, 'but I'm not coming in unless my donkey can come, too. My donkey has slept with me for 15 years, and I'm not going to be separated from him now"
 Miss Clarke said the donkey did go to the hospital with his master
 When a native comes to be treat ed at the hospital" she related fur ther, "all the family insist on coming, too. A doctor not only finds the pa- tient, but five or six of his family and friends in the bed with him. Off, ten the nurses cannot make out who |are patients and who are friends. Frequently the natives insist on their live stock coming in with them. The hospital at Peshawar was once asked to take in a amel,and it is common for roosters and hens to be put under the patients bed, tied to the bedposts.'
