All of this tremend. ous financial development has been the result of the farsightedness on the part of the leading citizens of Des Moines who have caused these various companies to come into existence. This development has taken place in the brief period of one generation. The possibilities of success of a home insurance company for Cas per are at once apparent when one considers the insurance business done in the state of Wyoming shown by the insurance reports pub- lished by the Insurance department of the state which point out that during 1923 more tlan two million dollars in premiums for life insur- ance was sent out of the state by the policyholders of these foreign companies, and only a very small percentage of the premiums paid in Wyoming were returned to the state by the insurance companies for in- vestment. The slogan for Wyoming citizens should be: © ‘Keep Wyoming money within the state” and we be Neve that Wyoming people will Uberally patronize the Yellowstone National Life Insurance company as soon as this company is ready to accept risks.” ONT CAPSIZES, TWO CHILDREN ARE DROWNED Bodies of Pair Lost at Thermopolis Not Yet Recovered.
