look into this matter at once.

lOOh lHIO tHlS HldLIeE dC OHCe,
Only last week Judge Hill showed
US a certificate for $4,000, which
he had just received from Washing
ton, the same being Hoke Hills in
surance policy. The government is
behind this insurance and the rate
is very low.
Under the act of congress of Oct.
7, 1917, members of the military
forces of the United States are given
the right to take out insurance with
the government, and it is to the ad-
vantage of every one entitled to take
out this insurance to do so. The
time is limited, and young men in
Guided in the draft, most especially
those just recently placed in Glass
l, should not overlook this matter.
The rate for this insurance for
man % years Of age is 65 cents per
month per $1,000, and you are al
lowed to take out as much as $4,000
which costs the insured the sum of
$3.50 per month, but you may take
out policy for 81 900, $4,000 or
as much as you wish, up to $4,000.

TRUCK DELIVERY
FORCITY TRANSFER

The horse drawn transfer wagon
in Dresden is now thing of the past,
for beginning on Tuesday all freight
is delivered by truck. Messrs. Doyle
Brooks and Chas. Killgore have
formed a partnership in the garage
and city transfer business, purchas-
ing the transfer business of Thomas
& Odds, and the new firm will use
auto truck exclusively.
They tell US that, besides hand
ling the local transfer work, they
expect to do hauling for all people
anywhere. They will doubtless haul
most of the freight to Palmersville,
Ore Springs and Latham that comes
to Dresden and do hauling for farm
ers who want quick service. The
truck to be used reached Dresden
Sunday. 1t is a Maxwell one-ton
truck, and enables the quick, safe
transportation of all kinds of freight.

RECLAIM YOUR
GULLIED LANDS

Gullies are land MASTERS, and farm
land is too valuable to waste. Every
gully and waste place on a farm is
a loss to the owner and source of
harm to the community. Gullies and
waste places should be reclaimed;
they should be made to produce
something of value. Crop time is
close at hand, but many a good stroke
can be and should be put in now to-
ward retaining the waste places.
Brush dams should be built to start
it. Many a scrubby tree on gully
banks will do better service if cut
and made into a dam than it does
standing. The brush dam is cheap,
easy to build and holds dirt The
dirt caught by brush dams can be
set out with black locust bushes,
Bermuda grass or honeysuckle vines,
all three of which are valuable.
This work can never be started
minute earlier than now and the
sooner it is begun and carried on
the sooner good results will be got
ten. Even days work will mean
great deal in stopping gullies. The
brush dam will soon show how much
dirt would have passed out during
the rains if it had not been there. 1t
is better to grow posts and pasture
than to grow gullies and waste
places. Cattle and hogs are in great
demand-he country needs them and
they can hardly be grown without |
pasture. Bermuda grass will fur
nish the grazing and the black To-
Gusts will furnish the posts for fenc-
ing the pasture. If anyone thinks
the Bermuda grass and locusts will |
be hard to get rid Of, he might on
the other hand ask the question,
"Why get rid of them?" But if he
should wish to get rid them at
some time, would they not be easier
to get rid Of than the gullies? More
lOcusts, Bermuda grass and honey
suckle vines are needed instead of
the waste places.-R. S. Maddox,
State Geological Survey.
