The court further finds that the pio neer memlers have not paid at any I time to the fidelity or mortuary fund I an amount sufficient to pay their cer tificates according to their tenor, nor , did they pay an amount sufficient to 1 curry llielr own contracts of insurance up to April 1, l!i!0. It says tnat irom the evidence it is uncertain whether under the rates now in force the pio neer members will pay into the mortu ary or fidelity fund an amount suffi cient to nav their own claims and death losses, excepting the endow ment benefit In the opinion of the court the pay- 1 ment of the-e endowment benefits to th. pioneers was not a discrimination agi'inst the mem'-vs joining since .lanifry 1, but that the society ; at each change of rate.; which was ' marie effective as to those joining suh Iseouentto the change did virtually ' di.-criminate between the various clas.c"s of r?rtificate holders in re ' spect to Kites, and there has been paid J by the society to the holders of the 1 endowment certificates a sum equal jto $F.7.2J for each $100 paid in by j them.

The First National Bank 3! j: :t ?! it :: :: V. u H a ties, while a slight reduction over that of a year ago is reported in others. Practically all of the Nebraska wheat crop harvested and maikcted from the new crop, has lcn taken care of, according to the reports. Rail roads believe, however, tnat a large amount of the crop is being held. The last week in July and the early days in August indicated the Hurlington railroad was handling ubout &00 cars of grain a day. With a few except ons, notably in the rnore isolated sections, the state is not facing a shortage of grain cars, a digest of the reports indicaie. in practically all instances the demand for cars is being 'met with immediate response from the railroads. Demands for cars to transport the new corn crop have I . gun coming in, according to reports. It was pointed out that a large amount of old corn was still being shipped. Movement cf livestock, especially from the range ten'tory has been started, it is .shown. This is practi cally a new feature in the state's car rier business, the Burlington and Norlhwestein reporting their first trainloads of likestock under way. A sm-il! increase in the movement of domestic coal is noted, dealers at small stations appearing to start early in ob taining their supply. According to the reports the domestic coal move ment thus far is lighter than it has been for the corresponding periods in recent years.
