ADJUSTMENT HAIL INSURANCE
Township Bureau Gives Good Service.

During the past it has been quite
generally accepted that adjustments
on hail assurances have been the most
difficult ones to make. Following the
hail storm on the evening of July 2,
which did much damage in Bloomfield
Township, il occurred to the president
OF that township Farm Bureau, Mr..
A. w. Oxiey,5 that in case difficulties
were encountered in these adjustments
some pressure might be brought TO
bear through the Farm Bureau.
After consulting the Farm Bureau
Office, Mr.. Oxley telephoned few OF
the leaders in different communities
and in a general way stirred up in
terest and action. When the adjusters
of the various companies involved in
that storm appeared upon the scene
they all found themselves in a COM
munity where nothing but honest, fair
dealings would be acceptable. Prac-
tically without question fair adjust
ments were secured through the entire
community. The policy holders ex-
pected nothing but what was coming
to them and as result Of what was
done, are very well pleased This de-
monstration in Bloomfield Township
is a fair Illustration and sample of
what can be done through organiza-
ton. The Farm Bureau is organized
on the principles of Live and Let
Live" None ofo.the leaders in this
community nor anyone else who I'M
derstands the principles upon which
Farm Bureau work is built will work
on any other policy Through the
stabilizing influence of the Farm
Bureau movement it will be possible
for legitimate concerns to do an in
creased volume of business, but on
the other hand it is going to be in
creasingly difficult for corrupt institu-
lions to get by with their vile methods
of doing business with their customers.
The demonstration in Bloomfield
Township is real demonstration Of
what community leadership will do
that is intensely worth while Besides
this, it has brought to light the clean
fair methods of reliable companies
and institutions which might not
otherwise have been so generally
known. From time to time oppor-
tunities of this character afford them
selves in most any community. Will
leaders in such communities see their
Of portunities and use them?

+. G. MALTBY DIES SUDDENLY.
Community Saddened by Death OF
Prominent and Highly Esteemed
Citizen.

The community was shocked yes
terday, Tuesday, when the sad news
of the sudden death of Frank G.
Maltby carly that morning was
made known. Mrs. Maltby was away
at Rochester, Mimi, and Mr.. Maltby
and daughter Ruth. were the only
occupants Of the house. About a.
quarter to -four in the morning Miss
Ruth heard her. father grooming and
she rushed down stairs to him. He
was still alive. but, didn't seem to
recognize her and he passed away
almost Immediately after she got in
the room. She summoned help on
the telephone Immediately, and Or.
NJ. D. Jewell arrived in a little while,
but Mr.. Maltby. was dead before the
doctor got there. Mr.. Maltby had a
severe attack of neuralgia of the
heart in 1892, but had apparently
not been troubled since, but he had
made the remark to his wife once,
that he thought if he ever got
another attack like it, that it would
end his life. '"' -
Mr.. Maltby had not complained of
being i'll and had attended one Of
the picture shows that evening.
Mrs. Maltby arrived home about
five o'clock in the afternoon, her
bort her in law, James Hislop and
sister Miss Clara Blagsvedt going
10 Rochester after her in car, she
having been there with her mother
who was taking treatments at the
hospital.
Frank Maltby was the son Of the
late C. o. Maltby and wife and was
born in Canoe township on February
16, 1870, and with the exception Of
two years residence in Mortified,
Mimi, this community had always
been his home. For many years he
farmed in Hesper township, retiring
few years ago, when he came to
DEBORAH to live, and bought out the.
city transfer line, from John Miller
and had conducted that successfully
until his death.
Mr.. Maltby was twice married his
first wife being Miss Adella Bennett,
to whom he was married ON Oct. 4,
1898. She passed away Feb. 8.1917.
To this union, one daughter Ruth
Ella was born. He was married the
second time on June 5, 1918, to Miss
Give Blagsvedt, of this city, who
with the daughter. Miss Ruth, sur
vive him. He is also survived by
enc sister, Mrs. NJ. d. Whitney, of
DEBORAH.
In the passing of Mr.. Maltby, the
community loses a most valuable,
citizen, man who was held in high
regard by everyone. He was esteem
ed and respected by reason of his
genuine personal worth and excellent
qualities of character, and he will
be greatly missed by all He had
a sunny disposition and always en-
ioyed the confidence and good will
of an extensive circle Of friends, and
all of these extend to the bereaved
wife, daughter and sister most sin
cere sympathy. "
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow, Thursday afternoon at
1880 from the home and at three
o'clock from the Congregational
church. Rev. NJ. Willett will offici-
ate and interment will he in Phelps
cemetery.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-1f You Know Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret Of keeping young is to feel
yuung-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need of
having a sallow complexion dark rings
under your eyes pimples-a bilious
look In your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent Of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
Dr.. Edwards, a we'll known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable conf
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave 70
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub.
stitute for calomel, are gentle IN thezg
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which ~
should enjoy by toring up the liver anB
clearing the system OF impurities.
