INCREDIBLE RESULTS
STARTLE HARRINGTON

There has never been anything here
with the INCREDIBLE results of
simple lavoptik eye wash. One mans
eyes were so badly strained he could
not read five minutes without pain,
Two applications with lavoptik re-
lieved him. A lady had tried three
different glasses for weak, infamed
eyes. ONE lavoptik wash surprised
her. We guarantee small bottle to
benefit EVERY CASE weak, strained
or infamed ewes. ONE WASH pro-
duces Incredible results. w. e. Au-

me Best Recommendation.

The strongest recommendation any
article may receive is a favorable
word from the user. 1t is the recon-
mandations of those who have used it
that makes Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda
Gierhart, Waynesfeld, Ohio, writes,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my family off and on for
twenty years and it has never failed
to cure a cough or cold" 0btainabe

IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS

1t does not apear to be generally
known in this city that the Sunshine
Special, the fast train on the Iron
Mountain, receives passengers at
Bismarck for all points south where
that train stops. 1t has been doing
this for the past year. This train
reaches Bismarck about $40 p. m.
This obviates the necessity of going to
st. Louis in order to make long trips
west or south.

FARM INSURANCE
URGED BY GOVT
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co.,
Of Luna County, Just Starting,
Approved by Uncle Sam
CHEAPEST INSURANCE KNOWN


Farmers mutual fire insurance Is
now made a part of the regular bus
mess of the L. S. Dept. of Agricul-
ture. an expert being detailed to look
after this particular business.
4 special examination was held for
this particular job. which was given
TO Hon. V. l.. \algren, Of Kansas.
Mr.. Nalgren visited the Mimbres
Valley last week to look after our
little farmers fire insurance company,
Just started, Luna county leading in
this as well as every other live idea.
In government report by Mr.. Val.
grcn, he said:
"Dne of the most successful forms
of rural cooperation IN lhi. country
j. that of farmers mutual fire insur-
ance. Up to the present time, how
ever, il has received but little gencr-
al publicity. Few men, even among
the farmers themselves. are aware of
its quantitive or relative Importance.
Many will be surprised, therefore. to
learn that there are at present nearly
1000 farmers mutual fire insurance
companies in the United State.
These companies carry n total amount
of insurance exceeding $3.50, ,O00,0OU.
The property on which this insurance
is written is valued nj more than 81,
700, 900, 900. which j. more than two
hfths of the value of all the insura-
ble farm property in the Is states.
| The annual saving 10 the farmers
through this form of cooperation l.
large.
"The total annual saving to the
farmers by reason of the relatively
low insurance cost IN their mutual
companies amounts to u very consld-
cnbe sum. No close estimate of this
saving has been attempted, since no
special effort ha~ been made 10 col
lect lists of commercial rates fol
farm risks in the different States and
in the various sections Of these States.
"li may he safely said. however,
that in number of the States where
farmers mutual Insurance l. most
highly developed. the average cost of
insurance for all these companies in
the State has fallen well below one
half of the rates quoted by CONNER
cial concerns. or tue >o-called bureau
rates. Some idea, therefore. of the
total annual saving to the farmers
of the country through cooperation
in fire insurance NAV be readily
formed.
; "The saving of the farmers mutu-
ais in insurance cost may be credited
mainly to two sources. First. the cX
