Many Settlers Wishing to Secure Pro-
lection Plan on Remode ling Build
ings To Comply With Charter

That farmers of the Bemidji vicin-
ity are prosperous is evidenced by
the records of the Farmers Mutual
Insurance company, as kept by J. c..
iMcGhee, of Eckles, secretary OF the
newly organized association
Insured For $50, 900
According to the records of Mr..
McGhee, after eighteen days of bust
ness the company has accepted more
than $4,000 of insurance, on pro-
perty valued at $2O6,2OO. OF this
amount there is an indebtedness of
but $7,725, distributed among the
forty-six patrons of the company,
which indicates that our farmers are
far more prosperous than is generally
supposed
Regarded With Suspicion
Many farmers at first doubted the
adWisability of the establishment of
the insurance company, feeling that
the settlers financially unable to car
ry on the business. Indications now
are that by the first of next year the
Mutual Insurance company will carry
100000 of insurance, on property
valued at more than S1,O0O,OOO.
Making improvements
According to provisions of the
charter of the company, buildings in
which fires are kept, and which have
no brick chimney, cannot be insured,
and this has led many farmers to
plan on improving their homes dur
ingthe summer. in order that they
may secure protection in the future

Bright and clean and overflow

Young and old alike, with its excel

the various acts was beyond re,

work today emphasized his apprec-
latlon OF its Importance and his
thorough sympathy with the move
ment. One of the greatest ad-
vantages, DR.. Mitchell believes, in
the condition of higher education
IN Delaware is the fact that it cen
ters at one point, rather than is dis
trlbuted throughout the State in a
various number Of rival institu-
tions. "It is fortuna,e,-' he saws
that the point at which they cen
ter Is one easily accessible to all
parts OF Delaware and adjoining
States. AS a nwcomer DR.. Mitch
ell has been impressed with the
splendid location Of the colleges
and the railroad service which
makes them closely connected with
wide territory. "For the very
reason that our institutions of high
er education are centered, how
ever, President Mitchell said, "all
forms of extension work are espec-
Tally Imperative. The soul of a
college is usefulness. Our agents
must go out into every part of the
State, find out the needs, and en-
able the institution to fulfil the de-
mand of our citizenship. These ex-
tension agents are therefore vitality
important to the usefulness of the
institution and shall have my earn
es support and sympathy"

EXTENSION WORK AT
DELAWARE COLLEGE

This year calls for lectures are
coming in rapidly, and, according
to the committee it may be that the
College will be unable to meet all
demands upon it. Though the fall
work is but begun, lectures have
been scheduled as follows:
DR.. Sypherd: "Kipling as a
Short Story Writer" New Century
Club, Wilmington; "a Discipline
in Reading" Acorn Club, Seaford /;
Professor Dutton: Poetry of the
Revolution" Tuesday Club. Odes-
sa "Walt Whitman, Acorn Club,

same lecture, Acorn Club, Seaford !;
Professor McCue: "The Door,

Prof. f. L. Smith: German Git
les" New Century Club, Milford.
Many clubs, as may be seen, have
arranged for series of lectures,
and perhaps dozen other towns
are planning TO do so.
The whole movement is retiec-
ton of the wave of extension activ-
ity which is sweeping the educa-
tional institutions of the country.
Its inauguration at Delaware Col
lege marks a new epoch in the use
fulness of the State college. The
visits Of two or three professors
during the year, in practically
every town in the State, giving
their services free Of charge to the
various communities, has been the
most forceful argument possible TO
inspire interest in Delaware. The
work has justified itself in many
ways, and financial support should
be given the Extension Committee
in order to continue the beginning
already made and make the work
as effective as possible.

The European War;
Supply and Prices

The largest and most dependable trade journal
in the world has this say regarding the situation in
America caused by the general hostilities in Europe:
''Not only is imported merchandise being advanced
III first hands but materials well affected,
which later will enhance prices"
Within couple of days after this horrible
in Europe launched we had our buyers in New
York selecting merchandise We pleased to
customers that with this precaution and by
of orders placed last March and April, we will
be able to show complete Fall and Winter lines
usual. Keeping before us the high standards which
have always prevailed in the conduct of this business
we assure our customers that in instance will
prices be advanced arbitrarily.
We are determined that ''pirate flag shall
float from our masthead but shall continue in the fu-
ture in the past to give customers the best
chandise obainable at the farest prices possible.
Silks and Velvets-Largely imported likely to
advance later; our stock complete at old prices
Wool Dress Goods-Domestic mills will be able
to furnish practically everything needed in cloakngs
and suitings
Cotton Fabrcs-Domestic mills will be able to
take the place of the foreign mills in most lines The
present lower price of cotton will prevent any ap-
preciable advance with finished products.
Handkerchief placed the largest orders
holiday Handkerchiefs in March last. We will offer
customers styles than at old prices
Household Linens-We have never been better
prepared on Household Linens than now. Case after
case has been received in the past few weeks-socks
never more complete.
Laces Embroideries Brads and Trimmings
These were selected Immediately upon the declaration
of war and reported scarcity. Our lines were never
better.
Ribbons, veilings, Buttons and Chfons- Every
conceivable kind and color is here.
Gloves-Advances in the importers hands are
quoted from 10 to 100 per cent the latter German
fabrics. We own all of Kid Gloves which we will
be able to sell at last years prices with one or two
exceptions This favorable condition is made possible
by advance orders placed last Spring.
Ready-to-Wear Garments-By reason Of the won-
derful advances made in manufacturing ready-to-
garments will not show any increase in price
Values will be equal to any previous year. This ap-
plies to Coats, Suits, Skirts, Dresses and Waists.
With this statement which believe to be as
correct is possible to it, launch forth into
the Fall and Winter with every assurance Of
ready response from the buying public
We would advise however, in all wanted lines
that early selection will be most advantageous as
assortments complete and repenishing uncertain
We solicit charge accounts from those of estab-
lished credit and prepay delivery charges within a
reasonable distance
