Before starting on the journey one OF
the party who Is also q newspaper man
! issued an address to his comrades in refer
ence to the trip as follows: Don't worry;
nothing else SO interrupts pleasure trip.
If you forgot to lock the west window or
shut the barn door or instruct neighbor
Jones' son to feed the chickens forget all
about 1t. To be sure your house may be
robbed; tramps sleep in the barn and the
chickens may die, but your good time Will
more than compensate. Nothing but trifies
like these should worry underwriters, or
even insurance men. Your life policy
takes care of your family; your f1re policy
Of your home; your accident policy pro
tects you on your trip and Mckinley's pol
icy will protect the country"
