Montana Farmers Got
SIG, 400 State Hail

HELENA. Feb. 23.-Losses from
hail to Montana formers during
the 1927 crop season were severe,
although not as heavy as in Al
berta, Colorado and western Kan
sas, and about equal to those in
the Dakotas, Wyoming and Texas,
according to the state board of
hail insurance, in the annual sum
mary of the seasons business.
At the close of the 1927 season,
the board had ended its 11th year.
Payments of damages for the
1927 season amounted to about
$4,000 for the year.
Eighteen hundred farmers took
advantage of the minimum rate in
surance offered by the state and
insured 218,0OO acres Of crops, or
about 121 acres each. The aver
age risk was S2.S5 an acre and the
total amount of risk written dur

a premium charge of s150,000

they could not stay on their

ANNUAL MEET OF
LOCAL GOLFERS
BANQUET AND BUSINESS FOR
MEMBERS AND PROSPECTS
FEBRUARY 2e

The putting contest staged as
feature of the Women's Club
party for the husbands, last Fri
day night, started something. The
ultimate result may be that some
of the wives will find themselves
golf widows soon after the first
robin is seen and the crocuses
bloom again.
After some of the experts, who
go around the course in even
fours or thereabouts, had failed to
get the little white pill through the
hole in the "KumJak" even once
out of three tries, they began to
admit to each other that they
needed practice This reminded
them that it was time for the an
nual meeting of the clan. Presi-
dent Chapman and Secretary
Rogers got busy.
The date set is Wednesday eve
ming, February 2S, seven o'clock,
and place is Bolster's cafe. The
evening will begin with big feed
at the expense of the club. After
that the business session will be
neld for election of officers, fixing
of annual dues, reports of present
officials and the discussion of
plans for the season. There is
evidence of strong interest and a
good number of new members is in
prospect.
A full attendance is expected
and members will do the club a
service by bringing some man
friend whom they believe to be
good prospect for membership.
