A. p. Clifford. Insurance
Company Has Optimistic
Views as to Coming Year.

Every owner Of an automobile will
be pleased to know that brand new
automobile insurance rates are going
into effect which will reduce the cost
OF fire and theft coverage. There Is
also a new form Of rating for other
property, loss Of use and liability col
lision. which is Of very. material re-
duction in comparison with last years
prices. This information comes from
of this city, a company that is we'll
versed in the insurance game.
The A. P. Clifford company Of this
city was organized in 1906, and at that
time was owned solely by A. p. Cliff
ford. Mr.. Clifford took over many of
the smaller insurance agencies that
were then in the city. and in 1917 he
formed a COMPANY, which incorpo-
rated. Mr.. Clifford died soon after
this, and his place as president was
taken by. j., H. McNicd Of this city.
who had been agent for the Northern
Pacific railroad in Grand Forks for
a substantial interest in the insur-
ance firm, and besides being presi-
dent he is general manager and
treasurer.
The A. p. Clifford Insurance COM
pany carries all kinds Of insurance
but that Of life insurance. Their
automobile insurance is divided into
three kinds-that Of fire. theft, and
liability. Liability insurance Is sub
damage insurance, loss Of use, and
collision Insurance.: liability insurance
also includes personal liability.
In speaking Of the reduced prices
on insurance for automobiles. today
Mr.. McNicol said that the largest re.
ductton he noticed was on commercial
delivery cars and that the insurance
companies were now working on q
special form of policy and rates for
farmers cars which will enable them
to insure their cars for three years
in place Of one, there being an advan.
tage in the three-year policy. as they
would be able to get three years in
surance at the cost Of two years and
six months. This has not been car
ried through, but will probably be IL
the near future.
At the present time the A. p. Cliff
ford company handles dealers poll.
cies, dealers public liability, employ
ers' liability. and property damage
ton at any time, whether insurance il
wanted or not. The company has
found this year very good, and the
prospects for the coming year still
better. When speaking Of the con
dition Of the business In connectio,
with the automobile men MI. NC
Ntcol said that auto men are Of tn,
opinion that they will be able to sup
ply the demand this. year, and tina
the. demand will be. great. He added
Farmers are coming more and NOR
every day to realize that insurance l

not reach Grand Forks trade circles.
It Is true, however, that in some lines

WRITES TO HOME CHURCH
OF DISCHARGED SAILORS

Great Lakes Naval Training School
Brotherhood Secretary Writess to
Their Pastors Asking That They
Be Looked After.
Chicago, ILL.,, April 9tb.-EEery
sailor who is discharged from Great
Lakes, the largest naval training sta
tion in the country, receives kindly
pat on the back and a letter goes
home ahead Of him.
Chaplain Frank Thompson sees, to
it that no man leaves the station with
out friendly goodbye. AS he passes
the mastering officer he is given a
card with a kindly word from the
Chaplain and the person to whom
this last touch with camp is entrus-
ted is George C. Murdoch, Brother
hood of ST. Andrew Secretary. The
letter that goes to the sailors home
is addressed to the pastor of the
church to which he belongs or has
stated a preference.
So successful has been this Great
Lakes Plan and so wide spread has
been the commendation of it, that
other dischargins camps and stations
are putting it into effect.
The letter which goes from Secre-
tary Murdoch to the home town says
in part:
You will not find him greatly
changed, evangelical, transfgured
spiritually. Neither, we think, will
you find him debased and deterior-
ated. He is just the same old fell
low, but he is particularly ready now,
since everything in his life is in a
more or less fluid state, to respond
to tactful and wise guidance religi-
ously. We know that he will receive
this from you.
The real worth of the plan is
shown in the letters which come
back to Secretary Murdoch and to
the Brotherhood secretaries in other
camps The letters are from pastors
of all denominations, from. active
laymen who have carried out the
suggestions made in the letter to
the boys home church, and have CIV
en- him a real welcome on his return
as a preliminary in the work of show
ing him that "he needs the church
and the church needs him"

April II Should Be A
Big Day At Cambridge

The first game of baseball ever
played on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land between two big League Clubs
will be seen at Cambridge on the
afternoon of Friday, April 18th. On
that day the New York Americans
and the Rochester Internationals
come to Cambridge and give an op-
portunity to the baseball fans OF the
Shore to see baseball as it is played
in the large cities. Eastern Shore
people like the great American game
of baseball. They frequently have
local teams and leagues. On a few
occasions professional teams have
visited the Shore to play local teams.
but a game between one good team
and an ordinary team is not real base
ball. The game at Cambridge next
week will be between two profes-l
sional teams, each using Its strong,
est lineup and playing to win.
No other town on the Shore has
been fortunate enough to get a game
like the one to be played at Cam
bridge. Hundreds of visitors will be
in Cambridge to see this game. The
players, owners end managers OF the
two teams that visit Cambridge next
week would be welcome visitors in
any town n the United States. The
result of the Cambridge game and
the treatment they receive at Cam
bridge will be telegraphed all over
the country.
The people of Cambridge should
show their appreciation of having big
league ball brought to our homes.
They should feel proud that their
town stages the first game OF big
league ball ever played on the East
ern Shore. Every baseball fan in
this section should name himself a
committee of one to help make this
game a success. We should make ar
rangements to attend the game and
to bring our friends. Not a man In
Cambridge has been asked to put up
a dollar as a guarantee for this
game. The visiting teams are COM
ing to Cambridge at great expense to
entertain our reople and we should
see to it that they have no cause to
regret the trip. We have an oppor-
tunity to see a great game, worth
more than the price of admission.
We have also an opportunity to show
that Cambridge appreciates baseball
Of big league calibre. If the attend
ance at this game is satisfactory,
Cambridge will be in position later
to bring other big league clubs here.
The day Of the game is legal
holiday 1t would be fine spirit OF
cooperation if the stores and otner
business interests of Cambridge
would close during the big game ana
go to the ball grounds to welcome
the hundreds of visitors that VIII
be here on that day.
Cambridge and Dorchester county
will be on trial next Friday. All OF
us should help to see that we do not
fall down on the job.-Adyertisement

A state officer has been in Baraboo
collecting license fees from those who
sell from house to house. The law
was passed a number of years ago and
since then has been fought in the
courts by the Watkins Medicine COM
pany. The law has been upheld and
all persons who sell from house to
house must have license, paying SIS
for the same.
This means that Watkins and all
others must pay SIS for every wagon.
Orders may be taken and deliveries
made afterward, this being now prac-
ticed by the tea firms and others who
are selling goods. When the collector
was here he had not decided about
collecting from milk dealers. Whether
or not they must have license will
be decided later. The law was insti-
gated by merchants who suffered loss

GOVERNMENT REPORT
SHOWS EDUCATION PAYS

Boys and girls who go to work at
the end of grammar school rarely get
good jobs The work they find to do
is usually unskilled; it offers little
training or chance for advancement.
When they are older they find that
they are still unframed for the skilled
work which offers a. future.
Many boys and girls when they
leave school find work that offers a
high wage for a beginner. But these
wages seldom grow because the work
requires no training.
A position with future and stead
lily increasing wages requires school
training.
A table prepared by the United
States Bureau of Education compares
the wages of group of children who
left school at IA years of age with
another group who left at Is years of
age.
At Is years of age the average boy
who had remained in school until Is
had received over $4,000 more salary
than the average boy who left at IA,
and was then receiving over 5000 a
year more.
This is equivalent to an investment
of $4,000 at per cent. Can boy
increase his capital as fast any other
way?-The Christian Herald.
