IN MEMORY OF
 R. B. DAVIS

Who departed this life Jan. II, 1909. His death came as surprise to his wife and friends, perhaps to himself, who knows; only the Great Master above, We who loved his best feel that he never knew death was so ne ar until too late.
 R. B. Davis was we'll known in Tennessee and Arkansas, as he was in the lumber business for many years. He was a man that was loved by all who knew him. He was ever ready to help those who needed his assist ance. He was a devoted husband. and it is hard to realize he is gone, but we know Gods will be done. He has called him home to rest. May God, in His holy wisdom give to his wife and friends a belief that it was for the best. Comfort them, dear Lord, Tn this their hour of grief. He, whom they call dead, is only asleep. A FRIEND.

LIGHTNING LOSS HEAVY.

During last summer the number O
buildings reported as burned by light
ming in South Dakota was u, with q
loss of $57,32l. This makes the aver
age loss on a building fired by light
ming $2.729, while the average from
all other causes is Sl,30I. or less than
half as much.
When a barn is struck the proba.
bility Is two TO one that 1t will be en-.
tirely- destroyed, contents and all. II
Z dwelling. the chance is but one in
seSei that it will be fired at all.
The fire marshal gets no report of
the large number of houses struck by
lightning in which chimneys are de-
molished, siding torn of, foundations
damaged and occupants killed.
Lightning Games third as a cause OF
loss, and statistics show that mills.
elevators and large farm barns are
the source OF the heaviest loss. Sta.
~tistiCs also prove that buildings prop
erly provided with lightning rods burn
only in exceptional cases, and | am
of the opinion that where the precau-
ton is taken 10 properly rod build
ings of this class the loss could be re
duced over onehalf.
The persons giving most attention
TO the prevention of loss from light
ming are thu officers OF the farm mu-
tual insurance companies. In several
states these companies carry more
than three hundred million insurance
and in a large number half as much.
Their experience shows that the loss
by lightning each summe in states
in the Mississippi Valley is from two
thirds to three-fourths as great rs
that from all other causes added to-
gcther. In Iowa in 1902 the fire loss
on farm property from lightning was
three times a. great as from all other
causes combined.
At the meeting of the American
Association OF Mutual Insurance com
panies at Denver, the matter Of re
ducing the assessment where the
building was rodded was discussed fav-
orably. This has been done by many
companies. other companies penal
ize the absence of 4 lightning rod by
paying but eighty per cent Of the loss,
if it is by liai thing. Others put roddcd
