INSURANCE CONCERNS QUIT.
Not lens than a score of the thirty
three insurance companies doiu busi
ness in Wisconsin, representing sixty
per cent of nil the insurance in force
in the state, excluding (lie Northwest
ern Mutual, censed to operate in Wis
consin ycHterday on account of the hos
tile insurance laws which became ef
fective. I'uiler an opinion of t ho nt
lorney general, However, the retiring
companies, while they may write no
more policies, may legally culled prem
inms Ihmuuli the present offices or at
torneys in Him slate until their licenses
expire on May I. It is estimated that
there are .lOO.OOn residents of the state
holding policies in these companies who
are eniiccnicd in their withdrawal.
Mngoii's blue law reads as follows:

The church has added 75 to its mem

IN THE RIGHT WAY
o . o
By Building
A piod start means much to you. (ut off on the riht
foot and keep sjohig. Don't continuo to throw money
away by )aying rent, when you can own your own home.
How much did you pay out for rent during 1!)07? Stop
and figure it out. What have you got to show for it I
Nothing but a bunch of receipts. Suppose you had put
this money into building a home and buying a lotf You'd
have something to show for your coin, wouldn 't you ? The
same thing holds true in the coming year. Are you going
to waste your manuina all year, and have 1908 net you noth
ing but a living? Ask your wife about it, and see what
she says.
Building is going to be cheaper this year than ever.
You can buy practically at your own terms. AVe sell all
kinds of lumber everything needed in any kind of a
house from a small cabin to a palatial mansion. "Ye also
sell Booth-Kellv lumber.

for the least money. If you are a stranger in Medford, you can't
. afford to loso money by boarding with your family at a hotel.
The business man's way of doing is to buy a nico cheap tract
and build a nico houso while tho present financial situation contin
ues. It's a fact that you can build cheaper now than you could
a month ago; or, better yet,
BUY A CHEAP HOME CLOSE IN TO A
BUSINESS CENTER
and watch it grow into more money lu fnre spring. We are pre
pared to equip all homeseekers with desirable homes at a low
figure. Js'ow is tho time te bnv. save rent and make money by
the advance in price.
