15 $46,435,000 ON 6,504,712 ACRES Protection for Current Year In- creased 10 Percent in Com- parison With 1929 LOW COST.IS GIVEN CREDIT Ramsey County, Hard Hit Year Ago, Makes 100 Percent In- crease in Acres Listed A risk of $46,433,000 was carried by the state hail insurance department on an insured acreage of 6,501,712 acres during the season of 1930, ac- cording to figures announced here today by Martin S. Hagen, manager of the department. The protected acreage increased 10 per cent during the present season over that: of last year with a gain of 591,118 acres, the records show. “An increase of nearly 600,000 acres in protected acreage demonstrates the increasing demands made by the farmers of the state that hail insur- ance protection be furnished them at cost,” Hagen said. “The low cost of the insurance for 1929 naturally should be considered one of the factors in this connection, but it should not be overlookec that severe hail storms last year in certain sections of the state, where ordinarily there is no great danger of loss from hail, brought forcibly 1o the attention of the people in such distticts that perhaps there is no place in the state actually immune from damage by hail. “Ramsey county is a very good ex- ample. Whereas in 1929 only 34,610 acres were insured, it is feund that for the present season 78,687 acres carried the protection. This is over @ 100 per cent increase in this one county alone.” According to department records, the cropped acreage in the state for 1930 was 19,362,418 acres, compared to 19,373,110 for 1929. The decrease is not unusual, Hagen said, in view of the attempt of the Federal Farm Board to enlist the cooperation of farmers in @ crop acreage reduction Plan. Claims for hail indemnity have been unusually numerous this year, ‘vith losses in cer iaitt sections suyere. Re- ports of losses increased over the number reported last year. To date the loss claims total 8,110, while over the same period last yer there were 7,986 claims. Hagen estimated that idemnity al- Jowed thus far totalled $1,800,000, al- though a compilation of the indem- nity has not been-compieted.

C., Aug. 25.—Presi-/ dent Hoover has a cane made of red) cedar wood from the North Dakota Bad Lands. It was presented to him last Thurs- day by Congressman J, H. Sinclair of the third North: Dakota district and) was made by M. C. Scheuffele of Grassy Butte, a World war veteran. ‘The head of the cane was shaped by nature to resemble that of an eagle and on this account was deemed by Scheuffele to be especially appro- priate for use by the chief executive. Canes made. from diamond willow, wood were sent by Scheuffele for pre- sentation to the secretary of the in- terior and the director of the national parks service. | In his talk with the president, Sin-! clair expressed regret that the change in plans for a vacation trip would) make it impossible for Hoover to view | the site of the proposed’ "Roosevelt | National Park in western Nortti Da-| kota this summer. Mr. Vint. chief landscape artist of the National Park Service, recently completed a survey of the area.

Scores of braves with rattlesnakes dangling down their naked, glistening bodies, went through the rites, a sup- plication to the rain god, while an + medicine man scanned the| skies. At the conclusion of the dance the serpents were released to glide into nd rocks of the mesa, thence, nthe where the snake people, guarding the rain god, receive the Indians’ petition. Shortly before sundown the priests before he could make a report to the secretary of the interior, and the de- lay in appointing his successor, have made it impossible for congress to act on the park. plan inasmuch as the approval of the sccretary-of the in- terior is necessary to the passage of park ‘legislation. Discussing the drought situation, z|the congressman informed President Hoover that there is no general dis- 609 |tress from that cause in North Da- kota, although some townships in cer- tains counties have been badly hurt. He said it is’ protiable that more than the usual federal aid will have to be given to the Indians of both the Fort Berthold and Standing Rock reserva- tions. He added that the chief prob- lem of the North Dakota farmers is the low prices for their products, rather than the lack of them, and said that if the federal farm board can boost prices the state and local agencies can probably take care of any cases of distress by reason of drought. Congressman Sinclair completed an inspection of the flood control works of the lower Mississippi, in company with other members of the house committee on flood control. The sur- vey was made in the interests of fu- ture flood control legislation. The North Dakota representative is of the opinion also that it will lead to more effective cooperation on the part of southern members in dealing with the Missouri river problem. For the pur- pose of interesting the south in this, Sinclair, in his address at New Or- leans, Baton Rouge, Cairo and else- where, told about. the plan to. build a reservoir. on the upper Missouri as an aid to agriculture, flood control and |commerce, The subject was also dis- cussed with the president, who ex- pressed himself as in sympathy with such @ project. Sinclair took occa- sion to. point out that such a reservoir | would be of inestimable value, not only in the prevention of destructive floods in the lower Mississippi by the, impounding of .waters at their.source, but also that this and other similar reservoirs would go a long way to-| ward relieving just such drought con-' ditions as have confronted the nation! this summer. silane | 1 cine I AT THE MOVIES CAPITAL THEATRE From the first foot to the last fade-out, “Inside the Lines,” Radio Pictures’ all-talking drama featur- ing Betty Compson, which opens at the Capital theatre today, is inter- esting, thrilling and entertaining, according to advance ‘reports. It is not a war-picture, but a story of espionage at Gibraltar during the World War. Roy Pomeroy, the director, has succeeded in making the intimata- tion of war more powerful, more pa- less noisy and awe-inspiring spectac- Hes could: The ‘story is ef two lovers, German spies, who meet unexpectedly in the heart of the British fortifications at Gibraltar. They both have been charged with the task of blowing up the Gibraltar fleet. Never has Miss Compson been so alluring and so strong in an emo- tional role as she is in this -picture, according to critics everywhere, Supported by a cast of English stage and screen stars including Ralph Forbes, Betty Carter, Ivan Simpson, Montagu Love, Reginald yer Evan Thomas and Mischa uer.
