Country roads are in almost impass-

spring, according to statements Of Gus

sink to an alarming depth. The haul

The bright sunny days are suggestive
of cleanup and paint-up campaign and
it is thought that the wheels will begin
to turn in that direction without any
great effort, but concerted effort as a
public spirited move might aid in a
marked degree to get things going along
this line. There is always an accumula-
ton of offensive rubbish after a long
winter. and the early spring is the time
to haye it removed for sanitary as we'll
as other reasons. The public spirited
citizen generally tries to do it first.

Planning New Black Hills Book.

Letters received from the Chicago
Offices of the Burlington by Commercial
Agent J. L. Bentley indicate that his
road is making plans for issuing a new
book descriptive of the Black Hills.
They ask for photographs of scenes of
particular beauty and interest and re.
quest that an effort be made to gather
such material from all available sources.
Mr.. Bentley will supply the material
wanted and in this connection suggests
that anyone having or knowing of
photographs of this kind that would be
suitable for the work communicate with
him. 1t is expected that the new Black
Hills book will be more artistic publi-
cation than those heretofore issued and
the latter have been greatly admired
and utilized extensively in advertising
the Black Hills.--Lead Call.

Look Before You Leap

DURING the past six or eight
years l have frequently heard the
statement made that people had learn
ed a great deal more about Life IN
surance than they used to know, ana
that the Individual who had made up
his mind to insure his life was pretty
apt to Look Before He Leaped. My
observation Is that some" people
have learned that all legal reserve or
So called "old line" companies, AXE
NOT about the same" They have
learned that all Of them DO NOT treat
all of their members in the same way,
and that all have not records extend
ing over a long series Of years OF
Square Deal to each policy holder,
whether he knew what was his dues
under his contract or not-such rec
ord, for instance, as the Mutual Bene-
fit HAS. 1t is a fact that the average
buyer Of Life Insurance buys from an
Agent who "goes after him." regard
less Of what company the Agent rep
resents, or the nature Of the contract
he sells. Comparatively few seem to
understand that while there Is little
difference in the net cost OF insurance
in any of the old, established, legal re-
serve companies, there Is vast differ-
ence in the Contracts. In view or the
fact that the individual who buys the
insurance Pays the freight" it would
seem to be only common, business
sense for him to "Look Before He
Leaps" even though his own brother
was the Agent who first caused him to
become interested in life insurance:
! The Mutual Benefit Is recognized all
over the United States as being In a
Class BY ItseIf-the One that has Al
ways Done the Most for Its Members,
and l shall be pleased to show YOU
if YOU care to be shown.

Possibly YOU think YOU will be

tainly believe Mules will be higher
much higher-neXt Spring than they
are now.

will be just as pleased to serve You to
the Best Of our ability THEN as NOW,
but again we wish to say that we Ger
tainly believe that NOW is the BEST
time to buy Mules.
Our prediction of higher Mule prices
is based on the future war demand,

cause of the higher price for cotton.
