A Series of Human Interest
Talks on Insurance
How Much
Insurance Should a
Farmer Carry?
The farmer of today ¡3 as
much of a business man as any
other and figures things out
from that standpoint.
Suppose he owns a 160-acre
farm valued at $100 per acre
and this firm is mortgaged for
$8,000.
The liquidation of that mort
gage besides making a living for
the family depends on him. If
he lives he will carry out his
contract.
Death may overtake him be
fore he completes the contract.
A $10,000 policy payable to his
estate would clear the indebted
ness besides leaving ready cash
for funeral and administration
expenses.
Indebt'dnejs net so protected
by insurance generally causes
the disposal of the farm—often
at a sacrifice in order to raise
cash.
Additional insurance should
also be carried payable to the
wife. Cash value can be used to
provide additional comforts for
old age if the farmer lives.
Premiums on an Oregon Life
policy stay here to be loaned on
farms.

Alaska was a wonderful mining
district, and is still a wonder. But
the thing that caused the great rush
to the northland was the find of
placer gold and the firing of the
hopes of men who knew little of the
mining game with the desire for
quick wealth. After that first rush
and the gathering to the till of the
millions that had been washed from
the ledges through ages of time,
Alaskan mining settled down to a
