Mutual Assessment

Woodbine, Ia, Oct. -, 1906
Your Mutual Assessment is
now in your hands, and you
will see by reading your assess
ment sheet near the top, that it
reads as follows: "The direc-
tors have ordered an assess
lnent of four mills on stock,
and three and one-half mills on
other property.
Your policy fee, that you
paid when you had the policy
written, was one-half mills on
the dollar per $1,000 policy,
thus making your insurance
this year cost you, 44 mills on
stock and a mills on buildings,
when | will write you in either
The Hawkeye or Des Moines
Insurance companies, of Des
Moines, Iowa, for 81 mills on
ell property, charging you nc
more for live stock than we dc
on buildings, and NO POLICY
FEE.
If you hold a $4,000 policy in
the Mutual, $1,000 of it on
stock and $1,000 on buildings
our charges would be Sl.5O less
this year, than the amount you
pay the Mutual, or $3.50 fol
the 5 years.
They are getting higher
every year. How long will
you stay with such a company
Write me a letter or call me
up by telephone, at my ex.
pense, and l will call and give
you figures and plans in the
Old Line Companies and if yol
decide to change and let me
write you, your first payment
would not come until next fall
Yours for the Fire Isur
ance business,

Mayor Dahlman may find
later that there is more to do
in Omaha than to ride around
on special trains and making
himself prominent. What they
need in that town is more gov
eminent and less politics and
unless something is done the
bum element will own and run
the city much to the detriment
of the decent people living
there. 1t is almost as bad as
the Omaha News stated the
other night Chat the crimi-
nails and gamblers had a stand
ing invitation to come to
Omahasproviding they did no
mischief within the city
proper" The same would be
true of our national govern
ment, for there are too many
politicians who are not law
makers, and some of them not
even living within the letter of
the law.

An exchange says: "If the
anyways which have been cut
ting melons for Wall street
nagnates so generously during
the past few months had put a
little of the surplus into rolling
stock, the great cereal crops Of
the country might have been
moved to the markets more
rapidly. AS it is, a blockade is
threatened, with its inevitable
effect in holding down prices
Tor the producer. AS long as
the railway magnates are
forced to make the annual con-
fession that they cannot carry
the crops, there will be no rea-
son to question their claims to
re-eminent wisdom in the set
clement of transportation prob
lems." AS the largest crop of
years is expected this fall, it
might be interesting to watch
results.

In The Country.

Yesterday, although rather
unpleasant on account of rain,
we, in company with Mrs. C. c.
Lahman and Mrs. Emma Russ
ell, accepted an invitntion from
Mr.. and Mrs. D. N. Hardy to
accompany them from Church
to their home to spend the day,
took seats with them in Their
Garage and was driven to
their pleasant home some two
miles north east of the city, at
which place we met Mr.. and
Mrs. Mintun, son-in-law and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
dy, of Missouri, on visit here
at the old home.
The farm of Mr.. Hardy is not
large, but a model in kind,
having garden, pasture, alfalfs
lot, orchard, out buildings, and
one of the llrgest henerys in the
county, supplied with incuba-
tors, and about 300 chickens,
the result, no doubt, of the care
of Mr.. Hardy.
Mr.. Hardy is a contractor and
builder, and does not. therefore,
make farming a business, but
is just farmer enough to keep
the best cows, hors es, hogs, and
orchard, with frdit, garden and
all kind of vegetables, and Mrs
Hardy and daughters are adapts
in preparing these supplies fo'
the table.
After spending some time yer.
pleasantly in visiting, we were
invited into the dining room tt
partake of just such a meal a:
farmers wives and daughter:
know how to prepare every
thing usually found in the mar
ket was there in abundance, ant
as we partook of the good thing
before us, we could but wonder
why so many crowd into tow
where we are not allowed t.
raise cattle, hogs, in fact moth
ling but NANCY dogs, instead O
going into the country where
we could breath the pure air o
heaven and enjoy the sun light
r drink rich milk, eat fat chick
/, ems and be happy. But such i
!! life. We spent a delightful da,

/ am the candidate for County
Treasurer on the Democratic
ticket. the nomination coming
to me unsought and entirely
unexpected, but it came, and
now | desire to be elected. l
believe that ninety-nine per
cent of the voters of this Coun-
ty think that no man should
hold this office for more than
two successive terms. My op.
ponent, Mr.. Ogden, has been
County Treasurer for five years
You know l am fully as compe
tent, in every way, to fill this
office as Mr.. Ogden, and should
| be elected, you will get as
good service as l can give, and
a square deal. l should like to
talk this third term question
over with every voter in this
county, but the time is short,
and this is my busy season on
the farm, so won't you help me
out by talking it over with the
voters. If you believe that two
successive terms is as long as
any man should hold the Office
If County Treasurer, vote for
me, unless Mr.. Ogden, or his
friends can convince you that
you are wrong.
Yours very truly,

Dedication Of the California
junction Presbyterian
Church

Yesterday looked very UNI
favorable for the special SER
vices at the new church, but
the farmers knew that the rain
was needed and was money to
them, so it did not hinder the
gathering of a good company
of deeply interested friends of
this opportune enterprise.
The building looks we'll from
the outside. Its design is ex-
cellent. Inside it is beautiful,
the mellow light flowing in
through the stained glass
windows. The floor is bowled.
The comfort of the audience is
secured by a good furnace and
it is to be lighted by a gasoline
system which is approved.
The choirs did fine both morn
ing and evening. DR.. Pur-
mort, of Des Moines, preached
sermons that were highly ap-
preciated and secured, with
great tact, the generous gifts
the people that, with the aid of
the Presbyterian Board of
church erection, enabled the
dedication of the church with
out any debt remaining on the
church.
You should have seen the
happy faces of the people, as
they congratulated one another
of the good work of a day
never to be forgotten.
The new church cost about
$4,000.
