Yes, that Is very burning ques-
tiop sometimes! If you are not fully
protected by insurance against fire,
NOW is the time to attend to It..
Don't put off until tomorrow what
can be done today. How about that
home, merchandise, automobile, etc.?
Did you ever stop to think just
how little it will cost you to carry
your insurance compared to the ben
efits which you receive? A few dol
lars invested today may save you a
thousand tonight.

!" Where Is NV
Wandering
Boy Tonight

The guardians of the peace of Bis
marck city and Burleigh county for
halfhour yesterday afternoon had
their hands very full with one tow
haired, blue.eyed young man Of three
or thereabouts. The youngster, while
down town shopping became separat-
ed from his mother, strolled down
Fourth street to the Commercial
club; clambered up the flight of
stairs to the secretary's office, and
there ensconced himself. When dis
covered he was seated at the desk,
busily dumping correspondence into
the waste basket and investigating
the contents of various pigeon-holes.
At least three grown-ups endeavored
to learn the young mans identity,
but his vocabulary apparently was
limited to danny" which was cor.
rectly translated "candy." Several
efforts were made to lure the young
man away from the club, in the hope
that he might be discovered by some
anxious mother, but he was not to be
diverted. Chief Downing was called
into consultation, and he in turn call
ed in Sheriff French. At last the
frantic mother was located and a
very indignant young adventurer was
bundled into Sheriff French's big six
and whirled away homeward.
