The price of the anti-bombardmen insurance has gone up to twice what It means just six francs per thousand of insurance if it is furniture of other household goods that is being in- sured; eight francs per thousand if buildings, and twelve francs if any- thing else. The insurance company also has drawn up a scale of insurance nersonal injury from long-range and other kinds of guns and airplane rhids, Thereby it is possible to in- sure civilians up to 50,000 francs at four francs per thousand in the dis- tricts nearest the present front; at 2 1-2 a thousand in Paris and its im- mediate vicinity; at one franc in re- moter departments; and at 75 cen- times in the most distant depart- ments and in Algeria.

Representatives of the Minneapolis concern were in Lander for the past few days overseeing an experimental run of the refinery and testing the resultant products.
