Owing to the soft condition of the
corn a number of farmers in this sec
tion have called a halt in their husk
ing operations while they wait for
better drying weather. The early
frost caught many fields unmatured
and as a result there is considerable
soft corn. In many instances the
grain is 8cing piled on the ground
rather than in cribs where it is likely
to spoil.

Editor Proposes New Plan
For Insurance of Soldiers
Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. 9. (Special.)
A. E. Chamberlain of the Dakota
Farmer has evolved a method of help
ing the soldiers and sailors to keep
their lives insured for the benefit of
their dependent relatives or families
that is thought to be practicable. lie
has written President Wilson, mem
bers of the war insurance board, Sec
retary McAdoo, Quartermaster Gen
eral Crowdcr and others, suggesting
that instead of the price of the insur
ance on the lives of soldiers and sail
ors being taken out of their pay, as
the soldiers' and sailors' insurance
law provides, American citizens be
granted the privilege of keeping up
such insurance. By the terms of the
law $8 pays for $1,000 of life insurance
for a soldier or sailor. Mr. Chamber
lain himself expresses a desire to pay
for at least $5,000 worth of insurance
each for two soldiers, and he sug
gests that enough other Americans
would be willing and even eager to
do the same thing, to keep up the life
insurance policies of every soldier and
sailor in the service of the country, or
at least o those who, for lack of
means outside of their pay, might be
hard put to it to spare the necessary
amount from their pay.
South Dakota Millers Fear
Exhaustion of Wheat Supply
Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. 9. (Special.)
At a conference of a number of mill
ers of South Dakota held in this city,
resolutions were adopted expressing
a fear that the wheat supply of South
Dakota will soon become exhausted,
leaving the millers of South Dakota
with, no grain to grind, and proving a
serious detriment and possible depri
vation to the people of the state. The
resolutions express the fear that the
mills will be forced either to suspend
operations or depend upon return
shipments from Minneapolis to sup
ply them with wheat, if some reme
dial action is not taken by the food
administration. The resolutions were
sent to the South Dakota chairman of
the milling division of the food ad
ministration and to the national
chairman of that department at Min
neapolis. Dunbar's Patriotic Meeting

ONE TELEPHONE CARE
SETTLED WILSON
State Railway Commission
Makes Its Findings in Con
nection With Dundy
County Mutual.
(From a, Staff CorrcfponAant.)
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9. (Special.)
Some ironclad restrictions as to
what may be done with the additional
revenue to be realized from an in
crease of rates which the State Rail
way commission is granting to the
Dundy County Mutual Telephone
company of Benkelman, are included
in Commissioner's Wilson's order.
The question of "watered stock" is
dwelt upon and the opinion establishes
a precedent which will undoubtedly
be important in the determination of
other matters. Payment of dividends
upon any capitalization which does
not represent a direct investment of
money put in by the stockholders is
forbidden.
Disposition of Funds.
The order states that all funds in
excess of legitimate operating ex
penses, taxes and the, payment of
dividends on this basis must be held
by the corporation in trust for those
who use its service.
The new rates are made subject to
complaint by any interested party and
an objection, when presented, "shall
automatically suspend said rate un
til final hearing and determination,"
the order reads.
One of the features of the order is
that revenues derived from toll busi
ness must be counted in with the
earnings on local exchange traffic.
In the past telephone companies have
made it a practice to separate these
earnings and only a small portion
of the toll revenue was credited to
the local plant. That toll business
is an auxiliary to the local business
and should be included with it, is
Commissioner's Wilson's' opinion.
Finding of Commissioner.
The commission's finding fixes the
rates at $1.50 per month on business
telephones; $1 a month on residence
phones and 33 1-3 cents for switching
service. Heretofore the rates charged
were $1.14 on business instruments, 79
cents on residence phones and 33 1-3
cents for switching service. It is
estimated the present revenue of
$2,400 per year will be increased to
$3,276.
On provision of the order is that
the company shall change its serv
ice from the old grounded system
to metallic, or common battery.

Growers to Get Higher
Prices for Sugar Beets
Grand Island, Neb., Nov. 9. (Spe
cial.) The American Beet Sugar
company has just announced the
terms of its beet contracts for growers
in 1918. The factory will pay $8 per
ton for all marketable beets delivered
and accepted, and an additional sum
of $1 per ton will be paid for each
and every ton of beets siloed and de
livered at the delivery stations after
November lS. The contract price paid
this season is $6 pec ton, to which
the company has voluntarily added a
bonus of 50 cents per ton, making
the price $6.50 per ton to the grower.
Next year's price will represent an
increase of $1.50 per ton over exist
ing prices and is by far the highest
price ever paid by the local factory
for beets, and the company is confi
dently expecting a decided increase in
acreage in the vicinity of Grand Is
land. No change has been made in the
price charged the growers for beet
seed, the price of the seed furnished
being 10 cents per pound, notwith
standing the fact that under present
conditions seed is costing all sugar
companies three to four times as
murh as hefnTP. the Eurooean war.
The difference in the actual cost price
of seed and the price at which it is
furnished to the growers represents a
considerable item of expense to the
factory.
This year's harvest is about 45,000
tons. , .,. .
One thousand bags of sugar will be
manufactured from now to the first
of the year.
