A BEAUTIFUL VALLEY

This is what Editor Cramer of
Marmarth had to say after taking
trip through our valley:
1.-The far-famed Golden Valley
is just as good as one Nigh wish,
and, as one views the beautiful
valley from the high altitude Of
Knox hill, he cannot help but be
impressed with the benefits tc be
derived from thorough farming
methods.
"While we do not believe that
this valley is any better than
many other favored localities, yet
it has been settled by experienced
eastern farmers, who have put
their learning as we'll as their seed
into the soil with beneficial re-
Suits"

rallied nicely, and for time
seemed to be regaining her form

decided she must undergo another
operation. This time it was dis
covered that she was suffering
from a cancer of the stomach,

she was advised to return home,
where she gradually wasted away
until death claimed it's own.

Hail Losses.
Settled Promptly
National Fire Insurance Co. Of
Hartford Looses No Time in
Settling Hail Losses

In less than two weeks after the
hail storm of June 10Th last, the
farmers who had taken out hail
insurance in the National Fire
Insurance Co. of Hartford.
through their local agent, R. C.
Fuller, had their losses satisfac-
torily adjusted and the money for
the same in their jeans.
1t seems to be the general opin-
ion that to take out hail insurance
is somewhat Of an extravaganza.
but if you were to talk over the
question with either Dave keck-
Ter. Frank Konczak, or Thomas
Kranick, they would tell you it is
a duty every farmer owes his
family and the merchants with
whom he is doing business, pro-
viding he asks for credit. All
three are loud in their praise for
the way the National conducts its
business and their liberalness in
adjusting losses, each feeling that
he received every penny he had
coming.
The National should enjoy a
fine business in this valley next
year. when it becomes generally
known that they are so reasonable
in their adjustments and SO
prompt in paying their losses in
cash without discount.
