gio.ving crops. The rates are made
up according to a zone system, pro
viding payments of 2" cents an acre

othcr and 43 cents in the third. Tin
zones comprise different parts of the
state, the lines dividing the eastern,
central and western parts with tip
proximate north and south lines cut
ting the state into thirds. In the
western part where there is great
er frequency of hail storms, the rate
is i.atnrally highest.
At the time of listing the property
in his district for assessment, the
r.r.oesoor, who is provided with Uk
proper blanks, shall inquire of farm
ers and land owners if they are.de
sirious of taking out this insurance,
and if they answer in the affirma
tive they shall pay one-half cent an

His Experience.
Hvcry Plattsmouth resident should
read what Mr. Starkjohan says, and
follow his example. He has used
Dean's Kidney Pills and speaks from
experience. Is there any need to ex
periment with imitations or' untried
kidney medicines?
Theo. Starkjohan, retired firmer,
Bocust & Ninth' Sts., Plattsmouth,
says: "For several years Doan's Kid
nev Pills have been used in our fam
ily for backache and kidney tiou; le
and they have always proved to be
all that is claimed for them. When
my hack feels a little lame and my
kidneys are not acting as they should,
I take Doan's Kidney Pills i few
days and they never fail to do me
good. Doan's can't be equaled and
anyone having kidney trouble should
use them, for they are reliable."
