Of that number six reported only one claim each while Divide county, the hardest hit, reported 201 claims. Although Adams: county reported only two’claims it is second on the list of counties for the total number of claims reported during the season with 341. Divide is in the lead with 343. Because the amount of acreage in- sured with the state does not repre- sent all the aereage devoted to crops the number of claims does not indi- cate the total number of cases of hail damage, the department pointed out. Nevertheless the ee imber of cases reported by vi counties for the year indicates the incidence of hail, throughout, the state this season, it is believed, REVIVING THE ANCIENT Chicago—Flowers that bloomed in ancient Egypt 20 centuries before Cleopatra, and wheat 234 ‘barley, taken ‘into the royal tomus to sus- tain Pharaohs on their post-mortem travels, have been brought here by Prof. James Heng Breasted, noted G.
