and all these sheltcrs-for they were

down both sides of the bedraggled

twenty saloons and halls of chance
to dispense delight to the citizens
and to the cowboys who rode in from
the plains for taste of METROPOLITAN

and beyond the limits of the town
the buffalo still ranged. The presence
of Indian tepces was a reminder that
Bismarck was indeed an outpost.

Hail Bureau Sends
Notices tO,Renters

Letters notifying renters or per-
sons farming state land that they
are not eligible to the protection Of
the state hail insurance fund except
under certain specified conditions
are being sent out by the state hail
department to everyone listing such
land.
Application blanks are being sent
out with the letters which inform
those seeking insurance that prem
iums for hail insurance on state
owned land must be paid in advance.
The premium for coverage of 81 an
acre is 76 cents an acre. For COW
erage Of $40 an acre it is $l.06 an
acre. In the event that the rate
found applicable at the close Of the
season is less than the amount asked
in advance, refunds will be made by
the department. The maximum rates
are charged FOR advance payments in
order to protect the fund, it is ex-
planned.
Last year the premium rate in
counties suffering the least hail loss
was 20 cents an acre and the. rate in
counties suffering the heaviest losses
was A cents an acre. The 1925 rates
ranged from % to SO cents an acre.
Few Withdrawals
Preliminary reports from county
auditors indicate that few persons
are withdrawing their land from
state hail insurance in comparison
with previous years, Martin s. Ha.
