Rfc i&a Jb &mu Ei JESi rf. XL A
When George Barr McCutchcon writes a story he is
nothing if not generous with the material he puts in them
The author's name is synonymous with romance.
Some of the most popular romantic novels have come"
from his pen. His "Graustark." "Beverly ift Graustark."
"Brewster's Millions" and "Nedara" have probably enjoy
ed more readers than any other modern novels.
In writing "Sherry," Mr. McCutchcon has used full
measures of romance, mystery, melodrama, adventure
and humor.

DEFICIT IN STATE
HAIL INSURANCE
According to a preliminary report
of Secretary J. E. Hart of the de
partment of trade nnd commerce the
premiums collected this year under
the state hail innsuranco law will fall
? 1-M ,50-1.27 short of being sufficient
to pay losses incurred this year.
Funds on hand prior to this year will
enable the department to reduce the
deficit for the past two years to $03,
751. Ilis report, subject to possible
material changes, is summarized:
Balance on hand Doc. yi
and premiums in
course of collection $101,9-10.1'.!
PrcmiumH reported for

Total $720,830.03

Com. Uncol 10,271.01
Olllco supplies nnd clerk

Adjuster's fees and ox- '
penxes 0,117.00
Losses reported for 1920 .. 700,111.78
Total expense including
N los-es 7S 1,6-1 1.30
Less Balance on hand
and premiums collect
ed for 1920 .. .... 720,880.93
Uicnmimi deficiency $03,751.93
The report of Secretary Hart shows
that the first zone of counties in the
eastern part of the slate has paid
more in premiums than tho losses in
that zone amounted to during tho
past two years, and that tho rates
arc adequate for tho first and second
zones, but in tho third in the western
part nf tho state the loss In tho bien
nium was $130,007 and tho rates in
tho third zone should he increased 50
per cent. The report says:
In the first zone consisting of forty
one eastern counties tho counties
showing the large losses were- York,
Boone, Antelope, Hamilton, Platte,
Wayne and Filmore, in the order
named. Seventeen counties in this
zone showed no losses. Of these sev
enteen counties the banner counties
show premiums reported wcro Madi
son, Lancaster, Colfax, Jefferson and
Johnson, in the order named. Total
premiums reported in this zone were
$169,809.41 and total losses $160,401.
93. During the season of 1919, pre
miums in this zone wcro $202,584.44
and' the losses $167,785.64. These
figures would seem to indicate that
present rates are adequate in aver
age normal years.
Expense of adjusting is less in this
zone on account of traveling facili
ties. Ifl" zone" two, consisting of twenty-'
seven central counties the large loss
es occurred in Custer, Dawson, Har
lan, .JPhclps, Kearney and Buffalo
counties, in tho order named. Only
two counties in this zone reported
premiums nnd no losses, Holt and
Blaine. Total premiums reported in
this zone were $188,893.16 nnd total
losses $140,481.89.
During the 1919 season this zone
reported premiums of $311,021.59 and
los'scs of $218,072.45, indicating that
the present rates have paid all loss
es for tho biennium and left a bal
ance of $35,3G0.41 for the expense of
adjustments.
In the third zono consisting of
twenty-five western counties, the
large losses wcro in Cheyenne, Sheri
dan, Chase, Lincoln, Kimball, Keith,
Perkins, Morrill and Banner counties.
Counties showing little or no losses
were Hooker, Cherry, Hayes and Gar
den. The total reported in this zone
totaled $353,556.42 and the premiums
$267,627.61. These figures indicate
a total loss over premiums for the
biennium of $130,007.80 in addition to
cost of adjusting losses and adminis
tration. Rates in this zone should be very
materially increased approximately
50 per cent.
Total losses 1920 ...... $700,441.78
Total premiums 615,937.51
Losses exceed premiums......$144,504.26
Total premiums 1919 $782,714.47

THE THREE SWEETEST WORDS
There are three words, the sweetest
words, .
In all of human speech
More sweet than arc nil songs of
birds
Or pages poets preach.
This life may bo a vale of tears,
A sad and dreary thing
Three words, and nil the roses bloom.
The sun begins to shine.
Three words will dissipate the gloom
And water turn to wine.
Three words will cheer tho saddest
days
"I love you?" Wrong, by heck!
It is another, sweeter phrase,
"Enclosed find check:"
