AnCe ls called 70 the yearly report OF the
Lyon county, Kansas, Alliance Exchange
Company above. We are enabled to con-
gratulate ourselves on the success Of the
enterprise, and also on the reduction Of
prices on goods sold TO the community.
BY our arrangements the mechanics Of
the town have been enabled 10 got the
produce OF the farms at great reduction.
We have by our enterprise found better
markets for produce by chipping the
same, nearly doubling Che price TO the
producer, and keeping II lower for the
consumer. The necessity OF the hOurlet
US urge upon you In the subscription 10
our stock, that we may be enabled TO
handle and Dhlp produce In car lots,
where we can 90 further and get better
markets and be enabled 10 make fur
thor reductions In the price OF goods,
The pFOHts Of the past year were mostly
made In the two first quarters Of the
year, when our returns for butter aud
eggs would be satisfactory. During the
hot weather the returns would Of me-
cesslty be that more or less butter and
eggs we're spoiled, therefore IL behOoves
us 20 ship often and have ths quality bet
tor. TO do this we must give better
prices; 10 give bOtter prices we must as
before stated ship In Car lots to further
markets, neCessitatlng larger capital.
Your interests demand that you study
this and all cooperative questions thor
Oughly in each Sub-Alliance, to got q
thorough knowledge Of receiving the
whole profits Of our toll, as politics alone
viii not solve the question. Each sub
Alliance, IL progressive, should have 3
correspondent for our leading state pa
per, that our ideas and plans may be the
sooner realized.
We will keep In stock full line Of
staple groceries, tobacco, cigars and no
tiOns; also q small line Of queenswara

foroibly eject a farmer by tho namo Of p. B.
Poole from a farm ho had rented from Mrs
Ada Culver, tho Alliance claiming In Che
iao0 OF judicial decision that MI Poole
had no right 10 Tho place a. against Che
present occupant. A mob Of twenty oI
thirty Alliance men had 10 be dispersed By
the sheriff. Aft0rward they destroyed what
property that could DO, and committed
such degraded depredations 40 throwing 4
cat into tho we'll, thereby causing a now one
TO DO dug After all this, petition with
tifty signen was presented 10 Mr.. Poole
warning him 10 vacatO and quit The neigh.
bOrhoOd 10 avoid foroiblo ousting. Mr.
Pool has been In tho loan business for years
In Kingman, but took 20 farming this sea-
son, hence the cause OF the contempt the
Alliance fellows have for him. Mr.. Poole
declared himself ruler OF his own empire,
and will maintain hiS rights in tho face Of
the threatened destruction. Further end
serious Developments arc looked for
Whereas, The above article appeared
in the Topeka Capital and purports "a

ALLIANCE INSURANCE

prosperity Lhhn INSURANCE. WhetneE or
life or property. Accidents will happen,
and death Ia sure 10 come sooner or later
Insurance represents combination Of
men almost phllanthroplc In their CO.
operation TO share each others fortunes
that inordinate calamity may not press
heavily ON one. The larger the spread
Of such a prospect the more general the
advantage TO be reaped. The whole ma
tlon should take shelter under such
glorious principles.
Insurance has become 30 we'll recog-
nlzed as a part Of the economy OF safe
living that sympathy Is not over strong
for men who lose their lives or property
and have neglected 10 Insure. People are
very apt TO say, II they had practiced the
same self denial that / have their families
would be provided for or their loss would
be replaced by insurance.
We often hear the plea Of hard times
for not lnsuring, when really II should be
one OF the strongest reasons for lnsurIng.
II we have a hard struggle to make llv-
Ing now, how will II be should we meet
with accident and lose what we now
have? Could we with clear conscience
expect our nelghbors TO contribute TO our
relief when we have refused TO provide
for ourselvesl
Realizing the great importance OF In.
suring our lives and property, and that
we should have insurance at actual cost,
the State Alliance has from time to time
considered this very important matter,
until now we have one Of the best insur-
anCe departments In existence
Our property lnsurancede department has
demonstrated the fact that insurance can
be had at much leBs rates than we have
heretofore been compelled TO pay In fact,
that the cost OF carrying insurance on all
farm property is 80 small chat no one
should permit his property 70 go unln-
5ured. He who does will certainly not
be considered a very prudent man.
Where is the man who would not fee
to the rescue Of his perIshing wife and
childS Although there should be a
greater probability OF losing his life than
that OF saving theirs, yet some Of these
same men will neglect TO insure their
lives in favor Of wife and child, that in
case Of their death they might be rescued
from poverty and want
With the large acreage OF crops plant
ed and the very bright prospects Of an
abundant yield the coming harvest, with
fair prices almost assured, how many Of
us are looking forward TO the time that
we will be able 20 cancel the mortgage,
or build the new house or barn that we
have been planning for the past ten or
fifteen yaarsS With these pleasant an
tlclpations how we love TO dwell upon tho
future. We should net forget that "there
Is many a slip between the cup and the
lip" that a carelessly handled match, an
unavoidable wind storm or hail storm
may in one short hour transfer our
bElgtest hopes into that Of weeping and
disappointment. Then lot US do whatwe
can to prevent such a sad calamity by In
suring our property against loss by any
and all Of the above possible accidents,
and secure a life policy for Betty and tho
babies, that in case we should be called
