FCR FOREIGR ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL. OFFICES! NEW YORK AND CHICAGO SRANCHES-IN ALL THE'PRINCIPAL CITIES Our Slogan: “Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925” Minnesota is the only state in the Union where thereis a law delegating to the state insurance commissioner the right to supervise the making of rates for fire insurance. The bill carrying such -authority was signed by ‘Governor Hammond Saturday night. It places insurance compa- nies' doing business in this state un- der the same regulation as the rail- roads. Under it the commissioner of insurance has the power, on writ- ten complaint or on his own initia- tive, to investigate and review any rating: fixed by any bureau for fire insurance on property in this state, and- ascertain if such rate be dis- crimatory or unfair. He has, in such event, the power to order the unjust rate removed and fix a new and just rate, which will become the legal rate. The Return of the:Birds. Everybody greets the return' of the birds with joy. No happier or more cheerful sounds' fills the day than that of birdsong at dawn in the early spring.. It seems-incredible that any- one -should kill birds~or break: up their nesting: To put it on:the:low- est ground; the presence. of the'birds is a matter of doMars:and cents: Their value, -especially to . an:-agnricultural region, is of the-greatest. The Department-of Agriculture hag frequently.:spoken - against- the - de- struction. of bird life because.of its absolute necessity in keeping down insect pests and thus helping pro- tect the crops, says the Minneapolis Journal. But Uncle Sam. has done more than talk. At this time there .are sev- enty-four bird. “reserves” scattered throughout the country, especially. on islands along the coasts. These bird reserves are chosen by the De- partment of Agriculture for protect- ed ‘breeding. The president . then signs an executive order declaring the place a reserve. In such places it is unlawful to kill the birds, to take their eggs, or wilfully. to. dis- turb them. The maximum fine is five hundred dollars and a jail sen- tence for six months. Every community and ‘every ‘farm ought to co-operate, and form- itself into a bird reserve, so far:-as-it is possible. The birds mean:much to the crops and about everything we do anywhere is dependent largely on the ‘fruits“of* the- earth: TH&"birds aréthe farmers’ best friénds and con= sequerntly ‘ours:’ They should be'al- lowed“to rear'their young in comfort and seeurity. And then there is' the morning and evening ‘song which' the birds throw i’ fof good ‘measure.

After about $20,000 had been paid into the state treasury by coal operators, they decided to discontinue further payments until the constitutionality of the act was.settled. However, the coal operators have been collecting the tax assidously. According to experts, the companies have been levying twenty-five cents a ton extra.on anthracite orders to ‘‘defray the additional cost of meet- ing the statute’s-provisions.” At the present time. over $7,000,000 is due 00T AND TCHES WL SUEPHER | Use-it like com'-cmm and dry Eczema eruptions right up.
