HansbrOugh Tells of Damage.

Senator H. c.. Hansbrough Of North
Dakota, takes a serious view of the
wheat crop prospect in his state.
Il am sorry to say it," said Senator
Hansbrough in st. Paul today, 'but
in my belief a large share of the
wheat In North Dakota will never be
cut The cool weather is holding it
back, and it does not seem to be maxi
ing any progress toward maturity.
Unless we have some hot weather a
great deal Of it will be caught by the
frost. We need warm nights as we'll
as warm days to sripen the crop, and
the nights now are very chilly.

States district attorney, came down
States district attorney came down
this morning and says that the out
look is for a light wheat crop in Otter
Tail county. On account Of the cool
weather the berries are not filing out.

Of sensational rust-damage dispatches
today put the pit wild. About every

The concerted. demand led prospec-

for a time pandemonium reigned.
The northwest furnished the entire

THE AMARET STOCK FARM.
HIoa- CLASS HUNTERS, SADDLE AND
HARNESS HORSES,
A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime of life, and
his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
OF certain precautions in business matter
that men srs often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularly
men In the business OF farming, have plans In
hand at ali times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time TO become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delays
involved, as we'll as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such a thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition. -
Mr.. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had large balance in hank. He
Kept his money at work. As a consequence
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulties and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking outa policy OF life insurance in
the Phoenix Mutual OF Hartford. The money
received frsm The Phoenix In payment of this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family in the
protection which it afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will send pam
phlet describing Phoenix policies.
