- Ole B. Sovick, the hustling farmer
.over in Eddy township, who loves to
hunt as we'll as trap, while in be-,
tween times will see his neighbors
about buying a good silo, reports
that he has just sold twelve OF them'
with more coming. He represents
the Hinge Door Silo. This silo move
:ment proves that our farmers IN
Clearwater county are on the right
track and prosperity is smiling and
beckoning them on to greater efforts
and more success. If you are in line
for a silo and you should have one,
providing you are dairy farmer,
don't fail to drop a card to o. B.
sSovick, Route l, Clearbrook, Minn.,
for prices and information at once.
TO liberalize the conditions under
which our former soldiers, sailors
and marines may reinstate lapsed or
cancelled insurance carried with the
bureau of war risk insurance, Wash
:ington, D. c., new and important ru-
ings have been made by Director r.
G. Cholmeley-Jones, with the ap-
proval of the secretary of the treas
ury.
Former service men have eighteen
months from the date OF their dis
charge within which to reinstate
their insurance upon these condi-
Jtions:
If discharged more than three
months, the application must state
in his application that he is in as
good health as when discharged, no
physical examination being neces-
sary. If discharged less than three
months, he need not make a formal
application nor statement of health.
In either case, he will be required to
pay only Two months premiums on
the amount of insurance to be re-
instated. One of the two premiums
required to be paid covers the month
of grace during which his insurance
remained in force; the other premium
is for the current month in which
reinstatement becomes effective.
Premiums for the months between
are not required. A man whose in
.surance lapsed in January, 1919, and
would pay only the January, 1919,
premium (the month of grace, when
he was protected) and the December
or current premium.
Check or money order should be
made payable to the treasurer Of the
United States and, with tho applica-
tion, sent to the Premium Receipt
Section, Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, Washington, D. C.
Old Joe, a Winnebago Indian, liv-
ing between Lacrosse and Trempeal-
eau, says spring has arrived. He
says he reads many out Of doors signs,
known only to the Red men, to prove
this He also points to the small
houses of the muskrats as further evil
dence. Joe predicted winter would
be practically over by New Years.
Andrew Moller, after an extended
stay in North. Dakota, is back here
again calling on old friends and
,neighbors.
Emil Nelson, the good natured
farmer residing on route No. 3, out
from here, rem membered Henry Olberg
the rural carrier on that route, with
a sack of oats the other day. These
rememberances of appreciation are
highly esteemed by our carriers, as
it proves the confidence and respect
in which these Uncle Sam workers
are held by their patrons.
A gun in the hands of grown up
men is a most dangerous weapon,
but in the hands of young boy or
bunch of young boys, is like play
ing with death itself, hence all par
ents should be careful and use good
judgment before letting their boy or
boys handle firearms promiscuOusly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Stockman
arrived here from international Falls,
Tuesday. Rudolph got busy at once
preparing for the handling of rural
route No. 1, to which he has just
lately received an appointment from
Uncle Sam to serve, if satisfactory.
He took charge Friday. January 2.
Ole o. Della, the temporary carrier,
who served this route prior to Mr..
Stockman's appointment, was re-
lieved on December 81, his last trip
being performed on Wednesday. jan
uary 1 being a legal holiday for the
postoffice employees, no service was
performed on that date.
One of Gonvick's pioneer business
men in the person of Anton Holland,
who opened a hardware store at that
point in the spring of 1910, one Of
the first new establishments in that
village after the 500 went through,
passed away at his home after about
a weeks illness brought about by an
ailment of his kidneys. He leaves
wife and many grown children to
mourn his loss. With the passing of
Mr.. Holland, Clearwater county loses
one of it's best, most highly respected
and beloved citizens. Interment took
