PAGE EIGHT THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE RISK BUREAU MAKES REFUND 10 EMPLOYERS Adopts New Rules Relative to Payment of Premiums by Employers and for Rating a 24 PERCENT CHARGE OFF} 1 New Rates for Ensuing Year; to be Much Lower than Last Year The Workmen's Compensation Bu- reau has adopted new rules relative to the payment of premiums by em- ployers and for rating of the vari- |, fications for the new year and will within a few days have! completed the new rates. As one of the changes in the rules the Bureau has more than doubled the amount} of credit which automatically at-| taches to one having a normal or better than normal — ex- perience. The credit is changed from a 10 per cent to a 24 per cent | basis. This change is made as anj{ added inducement to employors to! exert themselves in preventing acci- dents. This credit is retroactive and | will be applied to the adjustment of all the premiums paid since July 1st, 1921, In addition to the rule pro- viding for an increased automatic credit, the Bureau has also declared a 15 per cent dividend to all employ- ers with such good experience! which will also be applied on the ad- justment of all premiums for the past year. The 24 per cent conditional charge which has heretofore applied to em- ployers on their first year’s insur-| ance will no longer be charged to such employers. Formerly employ- ers contributing for the first; time to the fund were charged 24 per cent‘ mora! than other employers in the same classification, the 24 per cent being returned to them if their experience was normal or better) than normal; but in case of bad ex- perience a portion of the 24 per cent was retained depending upon the se- verity of the losses within the em- ployers’ plants. The abolition of the 24 per cent conditional charge is for the purpose of making it as attrac- tive as possible for those employers who are not subscribing to the fund! to comply with the law. The mini- mum charge for mercantile estab- lishments, banks. ete. which in- cludes most of the industries of the state has been reduced from $5.00 to $4.00. Another change which it is believed will avoid considerable con- fusion is a new rule adopted where- by all office help is insured at an office rate. Formerly, the office em- ployees of factories and mercantile establishments were given the rate of the factory or egtablshment in which they were engaged unless the office payroll exceeded 10 yer cent of the total payroll of the establshment in which case those in excess of 10 per cent were given an office rate. All of the above changes will have a tendency to reduce the amount of premiums by the various employers. Although the Bureau has not yet adopted new rates for the ensuing year, it was stated at the Bureau that over 100 of the rates will be reduced while approximately 15 of the rates would receive slight in- creases, and quite a number of the rates will remain ‘unchanged. The majority of employments in which no change of rate ,will be made are those in which there are few work- men employed in North Dakota and some other classifications where the experience of the Bureau has shown that the awards for losses approxi- mately equalled the premium fe- ceived. SWIMMING POOL WATER IS 0. K. _There is no danger of infec- tion in the city swimming pool, according to E. M. Stanton, bac- teriologist, who submitted a re- port to the city commission last night. The bugs or insects found around the pool are harmless, he says, “The pool is ‘in good, sanitary condition and there is no reason for people thinking that they will get a disease from the pool,” said Mr. Stanton. “Fresh water is constantly running in, and the pool gets plenty of air and sun- shine which tends to destroy bae. terial life Ye The bathitig sults, he said, were carefully disinfected by a good reliable germicide. ous cl CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.

PASTOR SAYS INSTITUTE A BIG SUCCESS The young people of the Methodist Episcopal church in the Bisnfarck district closed a successful institute Monday at Jamestown College, the same having opened Monday, July 3, writes Rev. L. R. Burgiem of Wash- burn. The faculty was headed by Dr. C. L. Wallace, Pastor of the First! Church. of Jamestown, and the suc-| cess of the Institute was due in no small measure to his competent leadership. Other members of the faculty were Dr. S. F, Halfyard of Bismarck, whose Bible Study hour, was one of the most interesting per- iods of the day; Dr. Musser, who spent ten years in India, and who presented the need in the foreign field; Miss Sarah Throckmorton of Des Moines, Deaconess, who spoke on Life Service; Dr. E. F, Robertson of Wesley College, who conducted the Social Clinic and Rev. Fred. Hedtke of Hettinger who spoke on Community Service. Leetures by faculty members made up the daily program. In the late afternoon time’ was spent in recreation and faculty and students alike participated. in these enjoyments. In the evening, Dr. Thompson Me- Kinney of Philadelphia, Evangelist, spoke at the First Church to. large; audiences. The singing was led by Rev. Thatcher of Mandan, Soloist. These mectings were a great benefit to!'the Le 's and to the people of the city. as well. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Dean, Dr. C. L. Wallace of Jamestown; President, Grant Unkenholz of Mandan; Vice- President, Golda Hoffman of James- town; Secretary, L. R. Burgum, of Washburn; Treasurer, Kathleen Harriss of Bismarck. It'is planned to make the Institute a permanent affair for Jamestown, as Jamestown College affords a splendid place for such an Assem- bly. ° Dr. H. S.

Fight Goes on PLAN IS OUTLINED! The almost negligble amount of black stem rust in wheat in central North Dakota this year is a stroke cf luck, according to D. G. Fletcher, fed- eral representative in the office of the | |Grain Rust Prevention Association of ; Minneapolis, in Bismarck today. ‘The | carrier of the black stem rust is still in North Dakota in abundance, but| conditions have apparently saved the | heavy loss caused by rust in the last few years, Mr. Fletcher said. Traveling from Grand Forks to Mi- | not and from Minot to Bismarck Mr. | Fletcher reported that a bumper crop | may be expected unless something | unforseen prevents it. There is lit- tle rust in central North Dakota, where much rust has obtained in the/ past, he said. | “Black stem rust can be prevented | by the eradication of every barberry | bush,” Mr. Fletcher said. “The fed-| eral government is spending $350,000 | in 13 states in the middle-west this year in an endeavor to eradicate ‘it. There are 24 field men working it North Dakota now, scouting out thi bush. If the federal agents can have| the co-operation of every farmer the | rust menace can be dimjnished in the | next few years.” Farmers have for years feared black rust perhaps more than any/ other destroyer of wheat. And the government has found that black rust can, be prevented, for the barber- ry bush is the breeding place of this rust. Ee The barberry bush spreads in geo-} metric ratio, he said, and it is only by a consistent fight to eradicate. it that progress can be made. The barberry bush, he said, is rec- ognized by from three to five thorns at each place where the leaves come out, by the saw-tooth edges on tht| leaves, gray bark, yellow blossoms in the spring and clusters of red-oblong berries in the fall. The barberry bush, he said, was brought in North Dakota’ by settlers who planted it for the berries. Nur- series later found a ready sale for the bush, It often is found in cities | used as hedge for lawns. The government tests, Mr. Fletcher said, have conclusively shown that the bush is the breeder of black stem rust, and it has increased \in recent years as the number of bush- es have increased. The’ Grain Rust Prevention association was formed by millers, bankers and grainmen who are’ aiding the government in its fight. ‘GUARANTY FUND COMMISSION IS MEETING HERE The Guaranty Fund Commission was to meet here today in regular quarterly session. No important ac- tion was expected to be taken by the commission during its meeting, whieh may last three days.. Affairs of closed banks in the state are being handled ‘satisfactorily where the consolidation of receiver- ships has obtained, ording to members, of the commission. Expense of administration, it is said, has been reduced materially. While no action has been taken and none yet suggested with refer- ence to endeavoring to abolish the North Dakota bank deposits guaranty national comptroller of the currency and bankers has attracted much at- | tention in official circles. ty laws of some sort. They are Okla- homa, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Mis- sissippi, South Dakota and North Da- kota. Most of these states have seen an increase in bank failures since the enactment of the guaranty law. ; Recently in Oklahoma, and in some other states, there has been a great increase in the number of national banks because of the guaranty law ‘and the burdens it involves. MINNEWAUKAN MAN SUICIDES Minnewaukan, N, D., July 11.—Due, it is believed, to temporary mental! unbalance, Jack Madigan, well known resident of Minnewaukan, killed him-| self by shooting a .32 calibre revol-| ver bullet into his temple. The! sound of a shot led to his being! found in an auto shed near the place| where he roomed. Physicians were called, but death ensued within an hour. ‘ | He was a member of the Masonic! lodge of Minnewaukan, the James- town Elks, the Maddock Knights of Pythias, and the Leeds Masonic chapter. Certificates of deposit totaling more than $4,000, were found on his body, precluding any theory that his| act was due to financial troubles, Services were held under Masonic| auspices at Minneweukan, and the; body, at the request of relatives,| was sent cast for burial.

CANADIAN 10 WRITE STORY ~ OF MKENZIE Prezs Association Represent- ative Finds Story Reads Like Fiction Picturesque incidents of the life of Alexander McKenzie will. be cir- culated to Canadian magazines and newspapers by G. W. Porter of the Press Association of. Winnipeg, who was in Bismarck yesterday and today investigating the history of Mr. Mc- Kenzie’s carcer. “Mr. McKenzie was a Canadian and was regarded as a very big man in Canada,” said Mr. Porter.’ “Our country in western Canada is much the same as yours and ‘we are in- terested in the life of Mr. McKenzie, and his work in building up this part of the Northwest.” Mr. Porter also made investigation of the Nonpartisan league activities in North Dakota, since there is a far- mer-labor movement in western Can- ada. Mr. Porter said that the story of Mr. McKenzie’s. life. was to him an amazing one, reading almost like fic- tion. His accomplishments in a new country will be pictured in time to come as one of the most remarkabl phases of early Northwest history, he said. “By the way,” he asked a local man, “when are you going to build a monu- ment to Mr. McKenzie? Of course, the capitol, the finc McKenzie hotel, the town itself are virtually mona ments to him but the city surely wih recognize his work and build anoth- er.” » Bismarck was highly complimented y Mr. Porter. He enjoyed chats with many Bismarck men while here, some of long residence. He said that the remarkable memory of Gent E. A. Williams was of great aid to him. Mr. Porter viewed the new brida and other points of interest about Why the Silvertown - Cord stands alone and foremost, because it wears longer, & because it looks better, and because, mileage considered, it costs less than any other tire at ‘any price. It is the pioneer cord tire. | It established the use of cord tires in America.) Its makers developedand proved every advance . in cord tire construction. ' It has always held the leadership.

Forbes head of the United States Veterans Bureau was enroute there, where he will decide on the site. It had been previously reported that Robbinsdale, Minn., had been selected as the site for the hospital. This, it was said here today was er- 150 Gassed in Subway One hundred and fifty were overcome by smoke and fumes broke out in a New York subway and chemical extinguishers to quench it. Two may die.

Several cities are contesting for the site for the new hospital, includ- ing St. Cloud, Fort Snelling, Minn., Bismarck, N. D., and others. Plans for the hospital call for 500 beds to accommodate mental’ cases now scattered through various insti- tutions in Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana. SLANG COSTS MONEY HERE Fargo, N. .D., July 11,—Workers in the office of the North Dakota Fair association have. formed a s0- cicty for the suppression ‘of slang and cuss words, but, unlike most re- formers ‘they are going to confine their efforts for uplift strictly to theméelves. 4 They have agreed to forfeit penal- ties ranging up to 25 cents whenever they. are caught using “swear words” and slang. It costs one quarter, American money, to use a “bed swear word” in the association office. Five cents is the fine for such ex- pressions as “Heavens,” “Darn,” “Gosh Darn,” “Golly,” “By Heck” and “Jerusalem” while the piker can slip by with a penny penalty by} using such comparatively colorless exclamations as “Gee,” “Confound” and “Sam Hill.” The penalty box is already heavy with coin and appears .to be loaded] mainly with quarters.
