have 'been the order of the day
ho.ro for much of the pnsl two

While Home plowing of sod has

to get thorn down a good depth.
The continued cold has proved ft
serious draw-bark in letting the
grass make n good start. Where
stock have been allowed to graze
in pastures the feed is getting very
short again. (Many of the stock
are quit thin in flesh and in some
instances the ticks are said to be
uusing considerable trouble with
stock.
Sheep men who have their sheep

grain in order to keep the ewes
and lambs coming along in good
shape. While the greater part of
'the lambing operations on the
( farms in this community has. been
finished, the cold weather and
orms.has been very severe on the
lambs several weeks old, causing
some losses In the larger bands.
The deep drifts covering much of
the ground In the higher sections
of the county have been melting

of the fanners state that portions
of their fields will not be dry
enough for working for some time.

out in his annual commemoration

been made in the practical appli

also, very great extension In'he

Insure Your Car Fully -- Pay For Your Protection
Gradually -- No Interest Or Carrying Charges!
, We take pleasure in offering this innovation in installment insurance service. The car
owner who finds it more convenient to spread his insurance investment over a period of ,:
months can do so WITHOUT PAYING A PENNY IN INTEREST OR CARRYING '
CHARGES for the privilege. ' . .
; Whatever. the amount of the premium required to protect your car fully, you need
pay only one-fourth down and the balance in three equal monthly payments. This per
mits you to have the advantage of protection against' fire, theft, public liability, prop
erty damage, and collision without having to meet the premium payment all at once or
pay extra, for. the extension of time. : ; ' ' , .
Every Car Owner Can Now Afford Complete
Protection Under These Terms
Under these terms you can't afford to take the chances of partial protection. Full coverage means that the
insurance company pays the loss if your car is stolen, if it is damaged by fire, if you damage another car or
run through a plate glass window or injure anyone's property with your car. It pays the loss if you hit
someone and are the victim of a damage unit; it pays the loss if you smash up your own car in a collision or
wreck of any kind. The modern car owner can't afford to drive without full coverage insurance.
All normal losses under our full coverage policies are adjusted immediately in our own office. Prompt and
reliable service to see that loss or inconvenience is no longer one of your worries. ,.
