The Prudential's Bic Business.

The Prudential Insurance Company
Of America has again beaten its re-
cOrd-a kind Of habit IL has acquired
having in 1908 written no less q sum
than secs, 900, 900 of paid-for life insur-
snce, which is q greater sum than has
ever been written in one year by any
other company Of the same age as The
Prudential. This record Is truly
astonishing, and there can be nc
better evidence of the vast and growing
popularity of The Prudential among
the thrifty classes. While most OF its
business is done among the industrial
population, it has also large ordinary
business, in policies amounting from
81 900 up to 500, 600
It wonld be difficult to suggest any
Improvement in the way that The
Prudential has met the necessities OF
the public in the matter OF life in
surance. The Company has always
been in the habit of settling its claims
in the most satisfactory and prompt
manner. Its policies are very liberal
In their terms and convey many sub
stantial benefits, which, it is quite
evident, are warmly appreciated by
the insuring public. Write to the
Home Office OF the Company, Newark,
N. for information concerning its
policies, that not only furnish euaran-
teed protection to the family, but diYi-
dends to the policvholder as well.

THE FINCH WAGON BED
The Demand fol. Them is Grow
ing Every Day

The popularity Of the Finch wagon
bed is growing rapidly with the
planters. There Is hardly planter
who has purchased one of these wag-
on beds but who. after using 1t for q
few weeks, orders from two to six
more, and today the demand for these
beds is so great that the little plant
at Elizabeth cannot keep up with
orders.
The durability, cheapness and sim
plicity of these wagon beds sells
themselves. A plant manufacturing
the bed alone could be started in
Greenville and employ hundred men
and at the end Of the year not one
dozen would be left over in stock.
The Times would like to see COM
pany organized to take hold of this
enterprise.

SOCIETY
Gambling Severly Denounced
by a Prominent Judge in
Arkansas

FORT SMITH Ark, March o.
The city is asoe tonight as the result
Of Judge Rowe's charge to the grand
jury At the law ind order mass
meeting it was insinuated that Judge
Rowe had been derelict in duty iii
certifying misdemeanor cases to police
court, which he claimed he did to
save trial expenses to the county and
create revenue for the city and which
resulted in a virtual licensing of
club rooms and Sunday whiskey
selling.
Upon impanelling of the grand
jury this morning. Judge Rowe read
the list of jury commissioners ap-
pointed by him and the grand juries
selected by those jury commissioners
since he has been circHit judge and
declared that all were men of charac-
ter, integrity, sound Judgment and
reasonable information, and that he
had right to presume that they had
performed their whole duty and he
mad not changed his opinion IN that
respect. Then hp said:
"It is complained that there is
open gambling and Sunday whiskey
selling. That this court knows moth
ing about this and court is not pub
lie prosecutor, nor process server,
nor an informer and did not propose
to be. If there have been any such
violations of law violators should be
punished. Those who sell whiskey
on Sunday and those who exhibit
gambling devices should be punished.
There may be more moral turpitude
in the man who sells whiskey on
Sunday than there is in man who
sells hat on Sunday, but both are
guilty before sthe law. No
man has right to hire rigs f1r use
nor hire men to work for him on
Sunday and . professional man az

The special evangelistic meet

past day or two given special at
tention to the Devil and Rev. J..
R. Pratt who is conducting the
meetings has voiced some ideas
in regard to Satan which are
probable novel to the general
public. One of these is that the
Devil puts IN most of his time in
the churches, theological schools,
etc, and that he is not to be found
in the saloon, the gam bling house
or other resorts commonly sup
posed to be his chief abiding
places. Mr.. Pratt declares that
the Devil has no need to bother
with these places the weak
nesses of the flesh will keep them
busy. but that his most fruitful
field of labor is where he meets
the most opposition-in the
churches themselves.

FOR BIG GAME
Hunting Licenses are Just Be-
ing Sent Out to County
Auditors.

The state has been slow this
year in providing counties with
the hunting licenses required by
law for hunting big game. These
licenses are now being sent out
to the county auditors although
Beltrami county has not yet re-
ceived it's quota. Applications
thus far have been few, however,
and the county will probably be
supplied in a few days.
The hunting licenses have IN.
dergone no practical change from
the form used last year, for the
reason that the legislature has
not yet had an opportunity of
amending the existing gamelaws,
if it should feel so disposed. IN
der the present game laws of
Minnesota the season for shoot
ng deer, male moose or male
caribou is from Nov. 10 to 80.
Each hunter is permitted to kill
three deer, one moose and one
carl bou. The law prohibits tie
sale of the carcasses or their re-
moval from the state. During
the opened season the carcass es
can be shipped provided the
hunters license tag is attached.
The licenses are for big game
only. No license is needed by
those who wish to hunt feather
ed game in season.
