DON'T LEI YOUR POLICY LAPSE.
Fatalities Frequently Reported After Men Give Up Accident Insurance
 Safety First!

The wlsest of men a"e at times tho most foolish and especially so in re- gard 70 carrying accident insurance Men take accident insurance because they believe it is wise and necessary to protect the money value of their times. II is wise---it is tie thing to do, but as time rolls on and they arc p>ll- cd uron to continue payment of pre-. niums some of them become foolish and reason because tbev have not had 'cause to make a claim they never will have, forgetting they are always in danger and liable at any minute to be injured. Or killed by accident, or, if money with them happens to be scarce ard hard to get, they lose sight of the fact that their insur ance is more than ever nedsssary. and 'arse their policy. They may tempo rarily save few dollars but Oh, at what a riska risk no man can afford to assume.
 Accident insurance companies do not preach superstition but so ire quent are the instances of accidents (many of them fatalf, occurring to men soon after lapsing their policy they arc led to almost believe that a fatality attaches to a lapse by the insured and are tempted to proclaim that an accident will soon happen to him.
 A striking illustration of this vas experienced 9 few days since. A well known prominent attorney in large city who for several years had car ried an accident policy decided when the premium became due to let it lapse. A few days after he was acci- dentally and fatally injured. The rec erds of the company show this was not an isolated instance aud the rec ords of every adeident company will substantiate the fact that similar in- stances arc net infrequent.

It is a curious fact that while practically every other farm crop has undergone great changes under cultivation grasses are almost the same now as when man first began to use them as wild plant.

Rurnino Gas in Teakettles.

Spanish peasants living in the corK' oak region use homemade gas ob' tained from cork refuse. As described by one authority, the process con- sists in filling several large teakettles with the waste bark and placing each in turn over the fire during the eve. ming, burning the volatile gas as 1t es' oapes from the spouts. The carbonic residue forms the fine black-brown pig ment known to commerce as Spanish mpWn."

St. Helena, famous as the island prison of Napoleon, was at one time covered with thick forest. Cattle did not do there, and goats were imported to give meat and milk for the settlers.

SOME BIRDS ARE NEGLECTED.
Familiar Robin and Friendly Chicka-
dee Almost Forgotten by the Bird
house Builders.

In the last five years we have heard
and read Il good deal about birdhouSe
building. Rluebird. wren and martin
ought now to be well provided for by
all bird lovers. Other birds have also
been mentioned along with the box
nesting idea, as the flicker and the
crested tiy-catcher, though these fell
lows undoubtedly much prefer natural
holes in trees, which the woodpecker
generally makes for himself and the
tly-catcher selects with great care.
There are exceptions. of course; flick
ers have been known to select holes
previously eXcavated and even those
made by man, md we have had the
crested fly-catcher take up quar-
ters in a deserted bluebird box of hol-
low-limh appearance that was nailed to
the trunk Of a tree.
Some birds, however, have been al
most forgotten and II of these is our
old. familiar, friendly robin, while an
other is less familiar. but not less
friendly, the CHEEKY c%hickadee.
Robins generally build their nests in
vines, ON densely-foliaged tree limbs,
often in more exposed places, some-
times on porch pillar top or roof beam.

MOSES, THE PROPHET.

On September g., 1914, at Star,

speech, uttered these words:

about two years, ought to be RELOCATED

statement, Democrats and Republi-
cans that after we Democrats have
been in power two years, before you
vote for us again look US over well
and see that we have not got q

be in power four years, vote US out
and try someone else. NO PARTY
OUGHT TO BE LEFT IN POWER
OUTSIDE OF FOUR YEARS, be.
cause it is impossible for any party tc
live without building up a machine.
The machine does all the bad legisla.
ton. You Republicans don't want
bad legislation any more than | do.
Every political party has got t.
have a machine, and it won t rur
without oil and grease. There is only
one thing on earth to do to abolish
the machine, and that is to yank the
party out that is in power, about
every so often, understand, then one

LINCOLN AND THE AGITATOR.

Chicago Herald: Anti draft agita-
tion, secret or avowed, is not new in
American history. Lincoln had his
troubles with the Americans who thot
that the union was not worth preserv-
ing at the cost of effective war. The
best known of these was Clement l.
Valland' CHAM, who had been expelled
from congress because of his intern
perate Pronunciation of administration.
Attacking the CONSUMPTION act, Va
llandigham said that the people were
not deserving to be freemen who would
submit to such an encroachment on the
liberties. He called the president
king Lincoln and advised the people
to come together at the ballot box
and hurl the tyrant from his throne.
In time he was tried and convicted, in
spite of his political prominence, and
then, of course, . pardon was sought
for him. Lincoln's reply contains a
message t at those who are fighting
CONSUMPTION today may we'll bear in
mlno. Here it is in part:
But he (Mr. Vallandigham) was not
arrested because he was damaging the
political prospects of the admins
tration or the personal interests of the
commanding general. but because he
was damaging the army, upon the
exi.tence and vigor of which the
life of the nation depends. He was
warning upon the military.
Must | shoot a supplemented boy
who deserts. while | must not touch a
hair of a willy agitator who induces
him to desert? / think in such a
case to silence the agitator and save
the boy is not only constitutional, but
withal a great mercy.
What the great emancipation said ia
1863 applies to those agitating against
the enforcement of the CONSUMPTION act
today. Can the government, which
has provided heavy penalties for the
young men who seek to escap service,
ignore tire efforts of those leaders who
in devious ways attempt to nullify the
law? Lincoln saw the answer and
the administration now in power will
not hesitate to follow his example.
Justice, patriotism, the urgent need
for defending the nation, unite in
demanding that, like Vallandigham,
the present plotters against conscrip-
ton paw the penalties for their
~offenses.

taken the places of many of the
striking element, whose purpose is to
tie up industry and paralyze that com.
mnnity. When the strike came the
Elk River Sentinel publisher took off
his coat and went down to the mill.
He has since been doing his bit, hand
ling lumber with a will, and making
a first class hand, altho Mr.. D~uerselan
is we'll along in years. The Sentinel
has had the courage to openly OPPOSE
the l.W w. and expose their methods,
bringing down upon the head of the
owner, and his assistant, Mr.. Gordan,
the most bitter and Incorporate denun-
citation from the l. w. w element.
We said it took courage, and so it has,
because the Sentinel is marked for
slaughter at the hands of the buns
should opportunity ever present itself.
The Republican takes pleasure in thus
publicly voicing appreciation of the
loyal service the Sentinel is rendering
the state in this crisis. 1t is the
kind of loyalty every citizen in the
nation should render, for if we are to
keep the wheels Of industry turning,
and if we are to save this harvest,
there will be need of something more

A copy was handed the Clearwater

nothing but contempt for the cowardly
cur circulating such rot at a time like
