in OUR TOWN.

ttu WIN hSVNs
In our small town there is no bar;
no booze is sold, in flask or jar; no
signs announcing ice-cold beer upon
our long main street appear. When
we'd assuage our thirst, we quote the
motto, safety First" and to the near
est hydrant trail, and drink three
quarts Of Adams ale. Ten thousand
people, good and bad, are dwelling in
our lovely grad, and when the week OF
toll is done, and they set forth to
have some fun, not one Of all chat
cheerful throng goes seeking liquor,
red and strong; there Is no liquor here
to seek, and so the seeker'd be freak.
Of course, it makes a strong man
groan, to have some money, all his
own, and find he cannot blow 1t in for
cool, refreshing, square-faced gin; and
often-times, in his despair, he buys his
children shoes to wear, or gives his
wife large green bill, which should
be in the brewers till. Or. driven
frantic by the law which bars the bug
Juice from his maw--a law devised by
some fool crank-he puts his money
In the bank, or buys himself h0dse
and lot, while he's with Indignation
hot. The news our papers print Is
stale; there are no doings at the Jail;
our people lead eventless lives; our
husbands seldom beat their wives; not
once year are prison hunks engaged
by plain and fancy DRINKS. 1t is a
stupid life we lead, and much fear
we'll go to seed; we ought to have a
BOOKING ken, and put our Jail in use
again walt Mason.

600, and has personal credit. worth
on demand, 100000. He has not specu-
lated in land, but bought only to farm.
Near Blackie, Alberta, he operates 81
100 acres of wheat land. He has just
purchased an additional 1880 acres
near Cardston, in Southern Alberta.
His personal credit enabled him to
finance this deal In Calgary in little
over three hours. The ranch just pur-
chased is fully equipped stock and
grain ranch. At the present time 1t
carries q thousand head of cattle and
several hundred horses, and Is fully
equipped with buildings. machinery,
corrals, sheep sheds, dipping watts. etc.
That is story from one district. Let
us select one from district some hun
dred or more miles from that.
"Peter A. Klassen, who recently
moved to Herbert, Sask., from Kansas,
has purchased a section Of prairie land
In the Hillsboro district, about "a miles
northwest of Herbert, for which he
paid $4,000 cash. He is erecting tenn
porary buildings to live in while put
ting the place in cultivation, and this
summer plans to erect good buildings
on the farm and equip 1t for home.
Mr.. Klassen recently sold his SO-acre
farm in Kansas for $4,000 and is In
.vesting the proceeds In Canada"
With the proceeds Of the sale Of his
land in Kansas, this farmer purchased
in Saskatchewan piece eight times as
large as he had previously been farm
ing, and had a balance with which to
purchase equipment, stock, etc., OF S3,-
600. Moreover as land in Saskatche-
wan may be expected to yield twice as
much grain per acre, he will be able
to produce sixteen times as much as
formerly.
The average value Of farm land for
the whole of Canada, including LAND
improved and unimproved. together
with dwelling houses, barns, stables
and other farm buildings, Is approx
mately $44 per acre as compared with
SAL in 1916, according to the latest re
port of the Census and Statistics
branch at Ottawa. The average value
of land in the Prairie Provinces is as
follows:
Manitoba ............. .$31.OO
Saskatchewan .....s... 26.OO
Alberta ............... 26.fO
1t is the low prices at which lane
can be obtained in Western Canals

An Explanation
OF the so per cent Clause on Fire
Insurance Policies

We find that good many owners Of
buildings and merchants carry the 80
per cent reduced rate clause in their
fire insurance policies but do not know
just how it operates in case of fire.
We have tried in the following para
graphs to show clearly, in as few
words as possible, how the clause
works.
1st-WHFN IT DOES NOT OPERATE
When the insurance equals o: exceeds
so per cent of the value covered.
Oh When, whatever the insurance,
the loss equals or exceeds 80 per
cent of value.
2nd-WHEN IT DOES OPERATE.
Only when neither the total insurance
nor loss equals so per cent Of value
3rd-HOW IT OPERATES.
1t is simply a guarantee that insurance
shall be at least so per cent Of value;
if it is less the assured will share
in any loss that does not equal Or
exceed 80 per cent of value. (See
examples
Value of stock 10000
ms required under 80 per cent clause,
:. :. 4. se'oOo
Ins. carried. So of amt required)
;. =. :. $4,000
Loss $1,000. 00-The companies will
settle as though there were $4,000.
Insurance; that is, they will pay SIS
Of 100000 and the assured will
bear 3-S. The companies pay
625.OO. assured loses s375.00.
Loss S.. 900 00-The companies pay SIS,
or s312500 and assured loses s1,s75.
Loss SIS, 600. 00-The companies pay SIS
or 100000 which is the face of their
policies: the assured loses 3-S, or
100000, because of inadequate in
s,1rance. (The loss being so per
cent or over the co-insurance clause
does not affect the adjustment.)
In all the foregoing instances the as
sured would have contributed moth
ing if he had carried the 100000 in
sI1rance. If he had carried 100000
insurance the companies would have
paid only AS; if he had carried
100000 insurance, they would have
paid rs Of the loss.
You can see from these examples
that the only way to be protected
when using the clause is to be sure
that the amount of your insurance is

THE CHURCHES IN THE
PRESENT FUEL CRISIS

Tho ministers OF the Protestant
churches OF Augusta held a meeting
Monday morning at the South Parish
CongrcGa tional parsonage to consider
and to act upon the recommendation of
the fuel committee regarding the
churches in the present crisis of the
coal shortage situation, as published
in last Saturdays issue of the Kenne-
bee Journal.
The recommendation thus alluded to
is as follows. Services in Protestant
churches to lie confined to not over
two IF the present church buildings
In q spirit of hearty cooperation and
sympathy with the purpose Of the fuel
committee and after most careful con-
Sidcrati0n Of the various interests in
VOWED, the conservation of fuel. the
conservation Of organized efficiency,
ana the conservation Of the broader
and deeper religious interests of the
cOmmunity-it was decided that the
Judgment Of the ministers be as fol-
lows:
Fir@t-That the two church buildings
to be thus used are logically the Pen
ney Memorial Baptist and the South
Parish Congregational
Second-That the two groups Of
churches to occupy these two buildings
should be those whose buildings are To-
Gated on the south side and on the
north side Of Winthrop street respec-
lively.
In accordance with the above decis-
ion, therefore, these two church build
ings will be open, beginning next Sun
day, for the accommodation of the
Protestant churches OF the city, until
the present situation is less acute.
They may be used by union or by sim
gle congregations as the various or
carnations il the two groups above
