You Should Have Protection From
LIGHTNING.

There are many things to take into
consideration when buying Lightning
Rod. Remember, they are placed on
buildings to serve for lifetime. Buy
ing Lightning Rod is little different
than buying other things. For instance
you may buy corn cultivator or any
other machine for that matter, and
when you buy it you may think it is
just what you want; but in week you
will learn that it is not what you
thought it was; but all you would be
out would be the price you paid for it.
You could setit aside and get trade
for another. You can't do that with
the Lightning Rod. If the Rod has
not the capacity to handle the heaviest
charge of electricity, it may mean the
price of set of buildings and the con-
tents of same. The same is true in
the line up of building. Some build
ings can be rodded cheaper than others
-even though Of the same size; this
depends ON the amount of exposure
which at all times must be taken into
consideration with each separate build
ing. Natures laws must be observed
in the erection Of Lightning Rods.
We may be able to fool people, but we
never, never can fool lightning. Did
you ever think Of this, will the rod
that we are placing now do its work in
20. 80. 40 or so years from now :? This
is something to consider. But aren't
We sometimes trying to get Lightning
Rod just little too cheap. Just think
back . little to Ben Franklin's time.
and you will learn that even then
Lightning Rods were good, and they
were good until the people spoiled them.
And I want to say right here that just
as soon as we allow ourselves to
believe that anything will do for a
Lightning Rod, just that soon the Rod
will fail to do what it is intended for.
Thanking you for past patronage,
and assuring you protection from light
ming in the future, remain yours truly,

What Protect. Mexico

II Is plainly the fact that but for
the attitude of the United States,
backed by military preparedness. Eu-
ropean warships would now be in
Mexican ports, and the forces engaged
in civil war would find themselves
under pressure from European con-
cert OF some kind. Action OF that
sort differs materially from the course
pursued under the policies OF this
country The nations of Europe have
been territorially aggressive. and the
principal OF compensation is enforced
in their dealings with each other and
with foreign states. There are great.
undeveloped resources in Mexico. and
Europe has been aware of 1t ever
since the discovery of the Western
world. The confliguration of Mexico
its climate, productiveness. and long
ocean frontage we're noted early by
the races foremost in commerce, and
Mexico would be a European posses
sion today, a monarchial dependency.

public next to 1t on the map.
