.UTLER'S ftlAUPIN'S LEADING Grocery and Meat Market 1 hi III I The Maupin Times Published every Thursday at , Maupin, Oregon ' C W. Semmes. Editor C W.- Semmes and E R. Semme Publishers. Subscription: Oue year, $i.o: six months, 75 cents; three monin, 50 Entered as second class mail matter September'?, 1914, at the jostofiBce at Maupin, Oregon, un der the Act of March 3, 1879. I' W Robert W. Stanfield ONE WAY TO BOOST Don't get the impression that because Maupin isn't as biff as New York or Chicago that it is not worth boosting to a stranger. When an auto tourist3 hits town and you have occasion to talk to him, speak a word for the schools and churches and good living conditions in this community, and if vnn ppt nnt nnnv from home this spring or summer, do - the same thing. , The man you are talking tp may not think any more of your town, but he'll think more of you for boosting it Nothing gives a neighbor hood greater favor in the eyes of a stranger than the knowledge that the people Nvho are living in it are satisfied and are not "a set of knockers." You have an op portunity every now and then to do something for your home town by speaking a few words in its favor. Speak them, and keep on speaking them, and even if the stranger is not impressed you'll be surprised to find how quickly you will be wondering why you haven't been putting in a good word instead of letting the other fellow do all the talk- laming aDOut nis.town. SEEKING A CURE Congress is nearing adjourn ment, but before doing so its members apparently realized that they have overlooked the farmer, and that it never is a good idea to go' back and face the home folks without some kind of an alibi. So cooperative marketing is being discussed, along with propositions to take up surplus crops each season or to regulate acreage. All of which may look good in theory, but little of it has worked out in practice so far, and the farmer is still 25 percent worse off so far as the price of commodities are concerned than he has been in years. It strikes us that if con gress wants to do something for the farmer it should try closing up the gap between what he gets for his products and what he has to pay for the things necessary to produce' them. If there is to be price regulation, then .regu late the price of the things the farmer has to buy as well as the things he has to sell. One of the hardest things for us to do is to believe that the Maupin man who picks us up for a ride isn't going to run for an office a little later on. We read recently that potatoes ?row wild in Chile. And potatoe prices are growing wild up here.

Insurance By Mail Hazard To Insured The following from the state insurance commissioner is a warning to alt seeking "cheap" insurance: The Union National Life In surance Company of Kansas City, Kansas, is circularizing this state soliciting accident insurance. . Inasmuch as the one purchasing a policy from this company does not have the protection of this department, or of any of the laws of Oregon, it is appropriate that the citizens should le in formed regarding this class of insurance. There are two primary causes for ma!l order insurance: First, to avoid the restrictions placed upon licensed companies for the protection of the policyholders. . Should a claim against one of these policies be contested, the policy-holder would be forced to go to the courts of, Kansas for recourse, as the court3 of Ore gon would be closed to him. In purchasing insurance of any kind it is adviseable to patronize only those companies which are licensed to do business in this state, as these companies are un der the supervision of the insur ance department and are amen able to all the laws of the state of Oregon.
