THE FIRE INSURTNCE
DOLLAR

! Many ii fire insurance policyhOlder
who has never sustained a loss
must have wondered what happened
talk. W. E. Mallalieu. General Man
ager of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters. tells the story.
Taking the records OF 332 large
fire companies for 1888. it is found
that little more than AZ cents out
OF each premium dollar earned went
TO pay losses. Three cents was con-
sumed by the expense of adjustment.
About 30 cents out of this avera ge
dollar was needed to pay manage
ment expenses. OF this 90 cents, sew
tn cents Went for salaries. about 5
cents for miscellaneous items, one
cent for rent, and cents for field
supervision.
The tax collector doesn't overlook
fire insurance any more than he does
another business Taxes of various
sorts took five cents of the premium
dollar
This accounts for about II cents.
A quarter went to the agent who
sold the insurance-and any policy
holder who has had need of agency
service i'll time OF emergency can tell
yon that no man is more worthy of
his hire. The remainder. less than
3 per cent, represents the modest
profits earned by the companies
Few businesses spend their reve-
rue in more beneficial manner
than fire insurance. Take that item
of five cents for miscellaneous costs,
for instance. This pays for all the
expense of maintaining inspection,
rating bureaus and other organiza-
tions, and for printing, advertising.
postage. maps. surveys. etc. 1t pays
for the industry's continuous war
against arson, for surveying munich
pal water supplies, for inspecting
property. etc. This fire precaution
activity has been largely responsible
for cutting average fire insurance
rates from s1.17 in 1907. to 81 cents |
in 1888. So there's your insurance
dollar.

CAMERON SAYS ONE OUT OF
EIGHT q. S. WORKERS OWES
JOB TO THE AUTO INDUSTRY

The automobile industry is the
best industry in the world There
is no industry that spreads its bene-
fits so far and so wide as does the
automobile industry. The industry
as a whole will enjoy a better year
in 1910.
Thus spoke W. J. Cameron of the
Ford Motor Company in addressing
500 club members and guests of the
company in the Hotel New Yorker.
The guests, winners of a nationwide
merit club contest sponsored by the
company, arrived recently in New
York for a twO-day visit to the
Worlds Fair and business meeting.
They are service and parts and acces-
sorry supervisors of Ford dealers in
all parts of the country.
Think of the many kinds of bus
iness that could not have come into
existence save for the automobile" :"
said Mr.. Cameron. Glance at the
long list of them. the good roads in
dustry. the first to feel the impetus
of the automobile, the gasoline, rub
ber, oil industries. the special glass,
textiles, steel. electrical. enamel,
paint and road signal industries.
which either were created or were
given their present standing by the
automobile industry. and you will see
how true it is that this record stands
in the history of indus
try"
The speaker pointed out that the
number of people directly employed
in the manufacture of cars is rela-
lively small, yet the number to whom
it gives indirect employment amounts
TO about one in eight of all the
workers in the United States.
Instead of being a parasite. the
automobile industry is a fairy-god
he said.
Mr.. Cameron pointed out that me-
chanical Improvements developed by
the automotive industry in methods
Of manufacture have been adopted
in other lines and traced some of the
benefits of other industries stemming
indirectly from the automobile indus
try.
In congratulating the merit club
winners, Mr.. Cameron said. In this

RADIANT LIVING
THE WAY OUT
BY Rev. c. NJ. Grifreth
Pastor Ridgely M. z. Church
Ridgely. Md.

Have you ever been in one of the
deep canyons of the West? What g
wierd feeling seizes one as he stands
canyon and looks up the almost per-
pendicular walls of the canyon to the
long narrow streak of blue sky above,
Then comes the desire to climb these
rugged walls andrto reach at last the
sunlit plateau above.
There is just one way only by
which it is possible to climb out of
such a depth and that is to reach
for something higher than yourself
and pull yourself up to it.
There are other depths in which
man finds himself besides canyons.
There are the depths of discourage
ment. of disappointment, of disillus-
ionment. of low living. But the way
cut is always the same. Reach for
something higher than yourself and
pull yourself up to it.
A certain man picking up one of
the passing novels of the day, found
it a captivating story of thugs, wild
women, drinking and profanity. As
he was reading it an arresting
thought came to his mind. why
should l by reading enter into the
low living of such characters with
whom l would refuse to associate in
actual life?" Facing squarely such
4 question as this. he threw the
book aside and reached for a book
that portrayed life above that
which he was living.
One can not lift himself higher
by reaching out to those things
which are on his own level.
Let us reach up toward the cross
and we shall be lifted up toward
heaven.

Bunston Suggests Ad-
vuntuge OF Delay Be
Token To Study Problem
OF Silt in Big Horn River

A letter received at Hardin
a few days ago from Major
General Schley, Chief of Army
engineers at Washington, states
that it will be impossible to-
nave the report on the Yellow
stone water shed and its trib-
utaries ready to submit to con-
gress before December, 1899. He
adds that the survey of the Big
Horn and the Yellowstone will
be combined in one report.
A letter from Senator James
E. Murray contained a copy OF
the letter from General Schley,
indicating that further work
will be done and that there are
possibilities of other reservoir
Sites not heretofore contained
by earlier survey.
This delay comes as a source
Of deep regret to the people OF
this area because of the urgent
necessity of prompt action con-
corning water storage in the
Big Horn, says H. w. Funston,
chairman of the Big Horn Dam
Association. Probably never be-
fore in the history of farming
on the Big Horn has the prob
ability of sufficient water for
irrigation been less encouraging
than it is at this tine, Mr.
Bunston adds. Even last year
when moisture was much above
normal it was found necessary
to have two drag-lines working
on the lower irrigation projects
of the Big Horn in order to get
water into the bitches for irri-
cation purposes.
With this delay, however,
should come an opportunity to
make a more thorough investi-
cation of the source of silt in
