a stir in sportdom. Both teams
showed an intimate acquaintance
with the American game and put up
good exhibition, considering the
sloppy condition of the gridiron. The
signals were in English. Many Chi
nese girls and boys were on hand
and took keen delight in the con-
test.

became very much dissatisfied with

There is always order at Red

ing Co.: -..
Gentlemen--Noticing an article
is your issue of June 23rd, 1909,
purporting to come from the pen of
Mr.. w. R. Mackenzie, relative to
farm fire insurance business, in
which he makes the statement that
all the insurance companies with
the exception of one or two, have
been notified to discontinue t he
writing of Farm business upon the
expiration of their present policies,
we wish to state that we have taken
pains to call up over the telephone
all companies in the city regarding
this matter and without one single
exception they brand the statement
as entirely unauthorized. None of
the companies have thus far been
called off, and all of us will continue
writing Farm business where the
farmer wishes to carry insurance.
Our opinion is that we should all
be careful as to where we plac our
insurance. We know of some very
good Mutual companies, but nearly
every man of judgm ent places their
insurance in Old Line companies.
Very resp'y yours;
