ceive cash settlement for $10,000.00.
Policy was applied for through Ar
thur Frazier, local representative of
company, and William Robson, their
district superintendent, less than ne
year. ago and Mr.. Matthews had not
yet made his second payment.
Had Mr. Matthews not been killed
outright it is quite likely that he
would have been totally disabled, in
which case he would have been as
completely protected not only in that
he himself would have received S50u
yearly and he would not have been
obliged to make any premium pay
ments while so disabled but the full
amount of face of policy would have
been paid upon his death, with no
deductions on account of pension pay
ments.
Both j. NJ Dodds and Arthur FraZ-
ier, local representatives or the Nut
ual Life, and policy holders in their
good company, are very mucn pleas
| ed with the prompt handling of this
claim. The ability of their company
is completely evidenced by the fact
that it is the oldest life insurance
company in America with seventy
seven years of service back of it.
1t is a strictly mutual, legal reserve
company, with assets of nearly sever
hundred million dollars back of then
contracts. In fact it is one of the

the technique of directing Some of
his battle panoramas are among the
most comprehensive and vivid ever

CANNING CLUBS
ARE ORG ANIZED
Canning School Will Be Held At
Willmar High School July l-3. :

Canning Club work is welcomed by |
the boys and girls of Willmar and the
summer will be a busy one. Even !
though the war is over there is great |
need for more food conservation and
much can be accomplished by making
canning interesting to boys and girls.
Then too in these times of H. c. L. the
grocery bills can be greatly reduced
by putting more Of the garden into
jars. 4
While boys and girls club work Is
comparatively new in Kandiyohi Coun-
ty it has been promoted extensively
in other counties throughout the state.
Last year forty-six counties sent can
ming teams to the state fair. A team
of three girls from a little town in
northern Minnesota put on the best
to Sioux City, Iowa to there compete
for greater honors with several other
states. This year it is hoped that
there will be many more county teams
at the fair. Kandiyohi may be one of
these new counties.
Several canning clubs have already
been organized. The first one was
formed at Sunny Side District 65,
was elected president and Alice Pheif-
er secretary. Three clubs have been
| organized in Willmar and there are
good prospects for one more. Six
boys who are interested in garden
project work formed an organization,
.electing Vernon Coss president and
Melville Johnson secretary. The Girl
Scouts decided to make canning one
| of their projects for this summer and
| formed a club. Their expressed aim
is to have the winning team in the
county. Thirty-fve girls of the 9Th,
7th and 9Th grades organized and
elected Lyla Ruddy president, and
Beatrice Eckwall secretary. At Kan
diyohi club was formed with Anger
inc Peterson for president and Franc
es Nelson secretary. Two or three
more clubs may be added to this mum
ber.
A canning school will be held at the
domestic science rooms at the higf
, school July l., 2 and 3rd. At this
school the boys and girls Of the vari
GUS clubs will be taught how to cal
by the cold pack method which il
proving very successful and superio
. to the old hot pack method. Up to tn
present time little aside from frui
has, been canned. BY the cold pac]
.. method meats, greens, fruits and vege
/ tables can easily be preserved. On
Afternoon, July /, of this school will b.
, devoted to the women. of Kandiyoh
County and the cold pack method will
) be explained and demonstrated. Any
one interested is cordially invited t.
attend.
! Some time in August canning dem
!, onstration contest will be held to de
eide which club may send team t.
the state fair.
