In this notice atten tion is called to the fact that the time has come when Investors in insurance woum ramer see their investments go ' into the community, In which they live. , Attention is men called to the Colum method Of doing business. . The article points, out that the suc cess of the new company, which was organized about four and a half vm po, is due both to the excellence of its jnanagement , and to the liberality of Its contracts.: The company has' a special combination policy which in cludes the ordinary limited payment and fndowment policies of the older com , panles. Another point that is mentioned is the fact that the great majority of i no j;ibkb ot ins new company are young rtien, which reduces the mortality.

It Is thought that at this time, t when interest v,ln road building is' greater than It , has. been ' before , in , Oregon , in doing actual work the most effective; and in expensive; machinery should be used. The following description of tha drag, toffetherwith directions for its building by any road supervisor or farmer U ore printed from tn Motor Age:, . , Build a light drag, : One can do things with a light drag that cannot be done with a" heavy one. And then, one can Weight a -light drag-and o make it heavy," If it; needs to be heavy for. some special occasion., But if a drag is heav ily built of heavy wood, bow can it bt lightened? Do not build the drag too long, especially. If your roadway is rather narrow or runs between high banks. , " Wuere the road is of propes width the length of the drag should be governed by the size of the team; a aeven-foot drag for a span of 1200-pound horses eight feet for a team of 1(00 pounds. Nine feet would be rather long fop any uncared-for road right at the beginning, no, matter how large the horses might be.' - v-j K.,;r:'rte?:J-' ' -x Build a drag from a cedar post or the end of a telephone pole, measuring 10 to 12 inches In diameter, or from some other light timber log. Use a plank as a last resort,':' v'r TT ' V . : Split the post or log and select the havierand 'sounder.' slab for the front of the 'drag. Find ? point about" four Inches from the ' end . of this slab, the enavtliat is to travel In the middle of the road, and . bora a two-inch auger hole at -right angles to the face of the slab and in Its center. '. Then 21 Inches from the other -end ot the slab bore another two-inch hot In the same man ner.? Now, half way- between these two holes -bore a third,-getting the three in Una with each other and in -th oetner of tho slab, . - The other, slab may now be" brought up behind the flrsU Allow six Inches between tha ditch 'end of the front slab and the hole in the ditch end of the front slab; mark and bora .'the three holes, .Thus, when they are pinned logemer,' ine ouon ena oi ne ironi. siao will . project some ' 1( inches f u rther toward the ditch than the rear slab. Now' prepare the stakes lo Join the slabs.' ? I prefer stakes cut . front as oaage hodge abouy 2Va Inches through. If a hedge' is toot' convenient, rip' some pieces out of a 2 -inch oak plank;, full two Inches- square. Is sufficient Shave the end of the stakes and slip tha slabs on until the slabs are within 30 inches of each other; then mark each stake with a lead pencil' to show the place where the slab fit You sar now ready to wedge the stakes Into the front slab Don't laugh when-1 caution yon to split' the stakes and drive the wedges at right angles to the grain of the slab. When you Jaugh you prove , you need no cauuo juut i nave neara oi men who split the slab for lack of knowl edge or the caution. , , Drive the rear slab on he stakes 2 or 8 Inches from 'the pencil marks and arrange the' brace.. Put the front end of the brace down within an inch of the ground and well out to the end of the front hib. Notch it h5 drtv the rear Blab back to the marks, catching the brace, and ; then : wedge the stakes se curely. -If this Is well done the brace will never escape. V At the front side saw the ends of the 'stakes off flush with the slab; at the rear al low the pro jecting ends to remain, fhelr presence at the rear will serve two purposes. They will answer, without words.; the question of how the Blabs are fastened together. And they coma very handy at times when you wtoh to lift the drag. , Make a platform of . Inch , boards to drop, between the slabs, on which the driver may, stand. : Nail the board to cleats, ' being . mindful to arrange the cleats so that they Will not Interfere with the. cross-stakes of the drag. Cut the cleats about an inch shorter, than the places they are1 to fit and nail the boards half an inch from the ends of the cleats. Uea at least three boards and space them an inch apart, so that the earth, which at times Is likely to pila up against the front slab, and fall back on the platform, can readily sift through. . otherwise . there win come occasions when you will be "obliged to lift the platform to dump it Next ; bore a ' 1 f inch hole olosa to the ditch end of the- front slab and in tho center of it i Get this, hole within an inch of the end of the slab if the wood is sound and tough, , - Secure a trace chain, regulation length, and 10 feet of No. smooth wire. Pass the wire around the stake that 4s tatt the middle of the road end of tha drag. Paso 'the wire around' this stake twice through the round ring found at the end of the trace chain; then tie. 81Ip a twisted snatch link onto the chain; pass the free end of tho chain through hSSmA A I the IK inch hole; drop an old bolt into a link behind the slab to hold, the chain When the strain -of draf t comes, and you are ready v for the double tree and team. No not put the clevis through a link of Ihe trace cltaln or tho link will break. f you have no snatch link, put tho clevis around the chain and wire it there. Fasten the clevis at a. point on the chain about i feet 8 inches from the 1H inch hole. . Stand on the ditch end , of tho drag and drive off. By changing, tho pojdtion, of t the-clevis on the chain X and your own position- oh tho drag you will be abla to meet the most varying conditions. At the start a nlaln wooden edge to the drag is sufficient, but after several months' work, ao tho road grows level and- bardv you will find It wise to put 3 4 feet of iron on the ditch end of the front slab. There may come times wljen you will fish for sharp steel. But by running' a corn -cultivator or a disk over the sides of the road Ahead of the drag you will llKfely find a piece of wagon tiro sufficient I am tnyself partial, to, the sharpened . steel, . but it makes trouble at bridges and, culverts and calls -for more careful - driving. Whether iron or steel is -used, it should not be allowed to project more than 54 inch'. below the, w.pod,,fj. y.i. ;,i:v: ,,It la probable . that you can improve the road by dragging it the .moment th drag is finished, no : matter - what the condition of the earth may be.
