Farmers are enthusiastic over the
farmerS Insurance., and are anxious
for the solicitors to call and take up
their insurance. Cooperation is
the only way for US to keep our
money at home and the only econom-
ical way for the farmers to protect
themselves against loss by FIRE or
lightning. The farmers co-opera-
tive insurance, together with the
electric railroad, will certainly make
this the most progressive and pros
porous country Of the northwest.
Owing to the enormous amount of
work the farmers have had this
spring, the agents have been delayed
in making their canvas, but all are
requested to have patience, as this
work will soon be accomplished. 1t
is hoped the directors of this COM
pany will do all they can to push
this important work, for to the farm
.rs it is money saved and money
saved is money earned. More
for the farmers means more
for the merchants, towns and
everybody in general. If we do not
.ndeavor to do something ourselves,
,ut patronize the old line companies
md big corporations, We will not only
ave to pay out great deal more
money but will have to pay whether
