A BIG RISK.

The great bulk of the property in
this nation is insured on a value bas-
ed IN pre-war figures. If it should be
destroyed by fire today the insured
would suffer about fifty per cent loss.
Few people have taken this matter
into consideration but it is a question
which should be given serious consid-
Grafton. In another catastrophe like
the San Francisco fire the loss would
be enormous and thousands of indi-
viduals would be bankrupt. Anyone
who has given the subject the slight
est consideration knows that costs of
materials and labor will average near
ly double what they were five years
ago.

"Man wants but little here below
was a copyrighted phrase long before
the author ever knew how a man like
Bill Rhodes could want. Bill has GER
tainly made a back number out of that
little quotation. For plain and fancy
long distance wanting, Bill gets the
hand-knitted egg-beater.
When Bill arrived in town some few
years ago., he was young, beautiful,
somewhat giddy and naturally a novice
at the game. Someone tipped him off,
gave him a start and Bill was off
in a cloud of dust. Since that time
Bill has won many a medal at politi-
cal. interscholastic and religious want
ing meets.
He wanted to be a republican and
he was. He wanted the county print
ing and he got it. He wanted the final
proof notices and he got them. lie
wanted to be foolish and he was. He
wanted to double cross his friends
and he did. Being foolish he wanted
to criticize and tear down and he did.
He wanted to be a Bull Mooser and he
was. He wanted to lose the county
printing contract and he did. He
wanted to become a nonpartlsan and
he did.
Now he wants reform. What kind ?
He doesn't know. But he wants Il
just the same.
Russia, you think?
Maybe.

DUMPING THEM OUT TO DIE.

(From the Detroit Free Press)
The action of the war department
ordering all tubercular soldiers who
are not making satisfactory progress
after twelve months treatment dis
charged from hospital is beyond the
understanding. According to the
American Legion, which has lodged a
protest, this order means that $4,000
patients are to be scattered over the
country to shift for themselves and
spread infection and death among the
civilian population.
The public health service will look
after these patients, says the war de-
partment, but it is a notorious fact,
says the legion, that the public health
service cannot provide beds enough to
take care of them. Many, if not most,
will be sent back to their homes to
be a burden upon families who have
been deprived of their support while
they were away fighting the battles
of their country. These families will
hardly be in position to give the sick
men the care, the special food and
fresh air consumptives require.
From a purely selfish standpoint, to
put it on the lowest grounds, the war
department ought to maintain its hos
pitfalls for the benefit of the men who
have sacrificed their health in its SER
vice. This would be the most econom-
ical plan in the long run, both as re-
CARDS money and public health. 1t
would be a standing disgrace to the
United States if it should shirk its
duty to men who went abroad ready
to sacrifice life or limb for the cause
of humanity and unable to provide
for themselves. To cast them out
upon the charity of the world, as the
war department proposes to do would
be a crime.

RUNNING IN CIRCLES.

All of US are prone to indulge in
more or less bitter comment when
speaking of the high cost of living.
Still none of us wish to reduce our
margin of profit or accept smaller
to make it easier for the 9TH
err fellow. The reason is quite plain.
The other fellow is after us quite as
hard as we're after him. Well never
get to the end of the road because
we're going in a circle. Figure it out
yourself.

The senate investigation develops
the fact that never has a Mexican
been punished during President Will
sons administration for the robbery,
murder, or rape of an American. And
the offenses against American citi-
zens have run into the thousands. 1t
has simply come to that pass under
the accursed policy of "watchful wait
ing" that Americans are regarded in
Mexico as in exactly the same class
as the Chinese class that may be
insulted and subjected to any man
ner of treatment without fear of repri-
sal or ever resentment.-Fort Wayne

TRUSCOTT SALE SUCCESSFUL.

The j. L. Truscott sale, which has
been in progress at the old Model
Bakery building for some days past,
was brought to a successful close Sat-
urday night. The balance of the
unsold stock was purchased by John
Ulrich of Glasgow who is continuing
the sale in the same location.
On the 10th of February the re-
naming stock will be moved to the old

SHYLOCK WAS AN AMATEUR.

1t is fairly we'll established that the
- was again and finally
sold on Monday of this week to the
nonpartisans of Valley county. Cur
rent gossip accords the deal a place
with the largest commercial transac-
lions ever closed in Valley county.
Hardly a week has gone by these
last few years without the sale Of a
block of stock in the - to
some poor innocent with an itching
desire to take a flier in high finance.
The opportunity has been all the more
attractive for the reason that real
money has not been essential. Our
local Wallingford has made the spec
ulation possible during these years OF
trying times and crop failures by the
employment of notes and post dated
checks.
The consideration this time for the
plant, good will and all, was the pif-
fling sum of S25, 900 in notes, cash
post dated checks and l o US. The
whole procedure "a such a palpable
holdup that three of the directors are
reported to have left the meeting in
disgust.
Our office devil, who really isn't
such a much on values, could go tc

institutions for that awful slug Of
money. And this would include the
subscription lists, good will, and sal
aries of the help for n year.

So long as the high cost of produc-
ton due to increased wages and de-
creased hours compels restriction of
output, so long will the high cost of
living prevail. AS production decreas-
es, prices increase. When production
increases, prices will fall. We cannot
get away from economic law.

to be known as 0. Henry. / was not
quite certain about it until read Al
Jennings account of Porter's life, in
which he described him so infinitely I

from.
In one of Porter's moods he came to
me with tears in his eyes and gave me
his watch as security, as he was m
able to pay two weeks board due me.

The furnace is located in the base

There never was time when home
owning was more profitable than now.
Rents, especially in the cities and
towns are all out of proportion to the
cost Of building. 1t is a case of ''pay
what / ask, or go without" The man
who owns his home is independent Of
landlords; after his home is paid for
he has an, asset that is worth more to
him than the money it cost; his family
has a real home, and he has the re-
spect that is paid every one who
owns property.
Now is the time'to prepare to build
The first move. of course, is the selec-
ton of the plans for the home, for
these must be secured before it can be
determined how much the house will
cost. Bankers always are ready to
help finance home builders, as there
is no better security for loans than a
home and no better borrower than the
man who will save for home.

1t is fast approaching the time when
those thousands who will erect homes
this year will see the. contractors be-
gin work. Then will follow rapidly
the erection of the house and the de
sire for a "home of my own" will
soon be realized.
However, there are many other
thousands who intend to erect homes
that have put off the selection of the
plans from which tley will build. To
these word of warning: Don't delay
too long. Contractors are going to be
taxed to the limit to build the homes
that will be wanted this year; building
materials are in not such a large sup
ply that it will be an easy matter to
get them quickly. Those who have
planned in advance and who have
made arrangements for the materials

be disappointed; those that put off
contracting for their houses may find
themselves still without home of
their own next winter.
These words are not written with
the idea of discouraging any Of the
home builders. They are meant to
emphasize the fact that preparedness
is as essential in home building as in
war.
The home shown in this issue is Of
the colonial type Of architecture. The
colonial is one of the most popular Of
homes. Its exterior it beautiful, if
superlative term may be used, while it
permits comfortable, convenient and

The whale was landed, holes dug in it's
body large enough to admit patients,

DREAMS SIGNIFICANCE.

Most people know the falling dream
the dream in which you take an I'M
expected plunge, maybe over cliff or
off the roof of house, and fall, fall,
fall, never reaching the bottom, but
awakening with the air rushing
through your nostrils and horrible SEN
sations of sinking in your inside This
dream may usually be taken as a
warning of some impending trouble,
usually pecuniary, but not Of very
serious nature. Should, however, one
actually arrive at the bottom in ones
dream, then some graver misfortune
NAV be looked for-the misfortune
not infrequently taking the form of
an illness or accident.
