GRAIN ON FARMS

Probably many farmers, during the
next three to six months, will have
grain on hand much in excess of the
insurance carried in their regular in
surance policy on grain. We can in
sure this excess value without inter-
fering with the regular insurance for
short term. For particulars call on.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Two army
divisions instead of one. comprising

Of the National Guard to go to France.
Although no official confirmation
was Obtainable, there were evidences
that the composite forty second d.

The forty-second division Is being
