All Farm Buildings Should Be

There is hardly a farmer in the
South who does not call to mind

uninsured dwelling by fire. In a great

ing the loss did not have enough
money to replace the building and
friends went about the neighborhood
taking subscriptions" for him.
2 And such occurrences are not a
thing of the past. They are an almost
daily happening-and in counties
that have mutual fire insurance as
sociations.
Most farmers are willing to help
an unfortunate neighbor, but they
expect a measure of cooperation in
return. When a farmer has refused
to Join a fire insurance association,
he has refused to help, through the
organization, any unfortunate bro
Their farmer. How then can he ex-
pect sympathy and financial aid from
the farmers he has turned down?
1t pays to join a mutual fire insur-

cotton is cheap cotton, considering
the price of everything which has to

Ruin in Wake of Retreating Huns.

Ruin in Wake Of Retreating Huns.
Being unable to take with them
the coal in the mines around Lens,
France, the Germans devastated
the surrounding country so that 1t
will be probably two years after the
war closes before any coal can be
mined. 1t will be at least five years
before the usual before-the-war guam
titvof coal can be taken from these
valuable mines. This is only one OF
the hundreds of instances where the
Huns have left untold damage, and
in some cases absolute ruin, in their
wake. And yet these despicable peo-
pie seem to expect peace with honor.
