The percentages of tho amount of crop carried were about the same as for the two years preceding. In comparison with the thirty-four old line companies, the state depart- ment carried nine times the amount carried by al the old line companies, the total insurance in these organiza- tions being for a total risk of $9,044,- 546, Twenty-four counties in the state carricd more insurance in 1921 than they did the year before while some of the eastern counties carried. less. In spite of the increase in the amount. per acre because, of the heavy Josses for the year,,the,rate was 6.3 per cont which the report declares is the .best percentage in the state for thg year. Th total indemnity, after all ‘corrections were made was $4, 788,593.98.

NORTH DAKOTA BOY MAKES WAY 52,100 MILES Mose Rosenweig, Page in Leg- islature, Tella Experiences in Travel Around World Minneapolis, May 30.—Morris Ro- sensweig, of Grand Forks, globe-trot- ted 52,100 miles, earning his own way and when he reached Minneapolis gonne. Before crossing the ocean to fight, Swank took out a war risk policy, the money to go to his mother if he fell. Later, his mother being old, he _be- thought him that she might die first, so wrote from France that he wanted his niece to be his heiress if she did. BACK TO JULIUS CAESAR AGNES CLAFFY In a day or two he was slain. His mo- ther followed a few days later. Deeming his bequest to Miss Claf- fy too informal to notice, the war risk bureau inclined to pay the insur- ance money to Swank’s brothers and sisters.

The house brought $5,210 or about $400 more than the original estimate for the house, which was $4,850. The Thatcher audit of the Home Builders association reported that. the cost of th's house was $7,144. The house was one of the few in which letters on file in the office of thé Home Builders showed the nego- tiations. According to these. letters, iMr. McClintock asked repeatedly for a contract so that he might move in- to the. house and begin making pay- ments. ‘Failure to got the contract resulted in his declining to move into the house and declinug to take the house: at the time it was declared fin- ished. The industrial commission has oydered the present manager of the Home Builders to negotiate with Mr. McClintock for a quit claim deed, the Association in exchange returning to Mr. McClintock the amount due him from his deposit fund. .

Kite Aerial If trees of fair height are able, they may serve as antenn ports. But if they are not, kites be uséd for holding the antenna wire aloft. At the séashore, on the lakes or in the mountains, there is seldom a time when a breeze of some kind is not blowing, and there is a kite for every il.

I have purchased them in any number of toy shops or stationery stores at prices ranging from five ‘cents. to a quarter each. A light breeze'calls for a kite “string” consisting of No. 28 bare copper wire, while the heaviest’ wind may call for something considerably stronger. for example, No. 18 bare copper wire. A littie experiment with the breeze, the’ kite (or kites, for these may be flown very handily in tandem) and the wire, will soon en- able one to run’up an antenna with a surprising minimum of delay.

Inder these circumstances, as much as 1000 or more feet’ of wire may be fed up into the sky.

In other words, from the time back in 1908 when the Ford Motor company began marketing the now famous Mode] “T” Motor Car until May 18, 922, a: total of six million Ford cars and. trucks have been. produced. Out of this total 5,517,056 were delivered to purchasers in the United States alone, and ac- cording to the latest statistics, 4,478,. 248 of these Ford cars and trucks are still in daily service, Thus it will be seen that’ out of every five Ford cars and trucks sold to, retail purchasers in the United States alone during the past fourteéti years, four are still..in, actual daily’ use, which is really remarkable when the hard service of commercial cars is taken into consideration. This seems to forcibly. confirm the popular knowl: edge of the longevity of Ford cars, That Ford products have been quite evenly distributed throughout , the United States is borne out by the fact that through the sparsely settled com- munities in the west to the densely populated cities in the east, practical- ly the same ratio of Ford cars and trucks to population exists, Ohio leads with a total of 290,769 Ford cars and trucks in daily use; Il- Ynois comes ‘second; ‘Pennsylvania third; Texas fourth, and Michigan fifth, with a total of 234,081. New York, Iowa and California follow in the order named, each having more than 200,000. An idea of the important part play- ed by the Ford cars and trucks in daily transportation of goods and per- sons in the United States can be gain- od bv realization of the fact that with the Ford cars now in operation, ayer-| aging a minimum of 5,000 miles per, of twenty-five billion transportation miles. jee: trips ereupgsthe world, year each, they would pile up a total, uivalent to more than a Sal direction away from the station which it is desired to receive.
