John E. Palm will bank quantity .f his apples and give this method of storing a thorough test the coming winter. The method has been prac- tced extensively in states farther north and to some small extentin the Ozarks. The outcome will be watched with Rogers Daily Post.
 If "banking" means digging hole m the ground and then covering the apples with straw and earth we can assure the Post that this method of caring for the fruit through the win ter was demonstrated by our grand fathers to be a success years before the commercial orchard was dreamed of in this section.

One Rogers insurance agent tells us that he has had fifteen policies can eelled the past ten days because the holders did not feel they could afford to pay the very heavy increase in rate of premium. There are just two reme- dies; one is to legislate the actuarial bureau out of business and abolish the insurance trust, and the other IS to or ganize mutual companies in North west Arkansas. It is admitted by the state agents that Northwest Arkan- sas property IS much better risk than the rest of the state. but they say they have had to bring it up to the rates in the rest of the state. We want to see every candidate for the legislature next spring pledged to vote to put the insurance trust out of Rogers Democrat.
 So it seems there are others besides Springdale people who have felt the gaff of the money-grabbing insurance combine. The Democrat suggests one of two remedies to fight the evil, but The News is in favor of both of them. Smash the combine and organize a home company and keep the money at home that we have been sending to the insurance lords in the east.

Plenty of thrills have beer pro

The breaking of levee, the

one of Americas real poems of
American heroism.
