Insurance." said Mr.. Campbell, when

We saw our friend, James Reddy,
in the city Saturday. We are glad
that James has purchased a farm for
himself and hope he will prosper. We
feel he is capable as a farmer and
stock raiser. Jim, Wen pay you that
60 cents some day. It failed to come
to mind when We say you
Mr.. Emil Molln is now eighteen
years of age and is employed by a
farmer by the name of Carpen-
ter near Avery, this state. When we
we're a lad of that age it took a dandy
to get $1,000 per month on the farm.
Mr.. MOlln receives $500. On this
farm they will have 200 acres of corn
this year. Peter Mollii is with his
this year. They are putting
in nearly 100 acres of maize and 30t
acres of potatoes. Surely small
grain is no the only thing raised on
some of the farms around here.
