WHAT DOES IT MEAN
The Meaning Of Insurance is to IN
demnify for Something That is Lost
Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is It not as essential to know
that the company promising this
indemnity is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out Of your home or
your business.
We never have lost company by
failure, in a business of twenty
years experience. Never had a
company make an assessment.
Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business In Maine
have failed or gone out OF bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is 1t not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorest?
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
and say If they are not good bust
ness sense. Then secure policy
with

N0RRIDGEWOCK RACES.
Better Attendance But Races Said tt
be Poorly Handled.
Halle Beats Silver Street in Matched Race
The Other Winners.

South Norridgewock, Aug. 9.-(Special)
-Today's races were better attended than
those of yesterday, although there was a
very heavy wind blowing. Altogether
the races were not as good as the first
day. The judges gave poor satisfaction,
both to the audience and to the drivers, al
though everyone laid the blame to the
managers of the track
There were seven starters In the g 33
class, Sarah Fuller being the favorite in
the pool box In the first heat Oliver b.
came in ahead, although 1t was evident
that Sarah B. could have won If she had
not been pulled and everyone called for a
new driver. Through some mistake the
heat was first given to Sarah Fuller, and
after being changed three times, was
finally awarded to Oliver B. who won the
next two heats.
The matched race was a very hard
fought battle, and, considering the heavy
wind, fast time was made. Silver Street
won the first heat in 2.24h. Halle won
the second in 2231S. In the third Silver
Street came in ahead, but the heat was
awarded to Halle.
