LEGAL POINTS FOR

Risks Involved in Giving Notes
for Payments on
Car.
BY Our Legal Corr..poadent

An automobile dealer was indicted
in New York a, few days ago In con-
uection with notes which he took for
payments due on cars sold by him
II is claimed that when he sold cars
on the instslment plan he took notes
from the purchasers, discounted these
notes with a banking house, then col
lected the payments and pocketed
them. when the notes came due the
makers were called on for payment
by the banking house, and thus the
facts came TO light.
There is a vital lesson in this case
for purchasers of cars who are called

Our second fire within the past
week called out the fire department
about 1915 last night. This time it
was discovered to be the building
owned and onerated by Barney Sulli-
van on Front street known as the Sui
Ivan Tire Hospital, the building for
merly owned by G. B. Vallandigham.
The fire started from flue or pipe
that runs from the hot air furnace in
the basement and evidently had got
ten big start before Mr.. F. R.
Green and family who occupy the up
stairs rooms, discovered that the
building was on fire. The flames
were spreading rapidly when the
Greens awoke to the fact that their
rooms were afame and the family
barely had time to escape which they
had to do in their night clothes. The
department responded quickly and
efficiently but the fire was only put
out after the inside Of the building
had been Quilted. The damage to Mr.;
Sullivan's building and stock is con-
siderable and Mr.. Green's personal be-
longings are also badly damaged. We
have not learned the amount of in
surance carried by either at this time.
The Green family were very fortunate
in escaping from the building even in
their night clothes.

A THRIFT TALK

Under a plan devised by the Y. NJ.
C. A., Monday, January 18th, 1920 has
been set aside as LIFE INSURANCE
DAY, a day on which to spread the
doctrine of THRIFT, through the med
ium of the Life Insurance policies, as
written by the old line LIFE 1nsur-
ance Companies.
The Encyclopedia Americana en-
umerates as the three leading indus
tries of the world, Transportation,
Banking and Life Insurance. 1t IS not
necessary to tell you what chaotic con-
dition would exist if the transportation
companies and the banking business
were forced to suspend their opera
tions, and there is no doubt but what
the same condition would prevail II
the old line life insurance companies
were denied the right to do business,
for their is no business or activity OF
any nature in the world today, which
has done so much to relieve distress
and poverty, as LIFE INSURANCE.
Whoever owns Life Insurance pol
icy has an object in their life, and a
Life Insurance policy, I do not mean
they have no value whatever, unless
the person who is insured, dies, and
they are now considered more in the
light of DEATH INSURANCE. An
old line life insurance policy under the
limited life or endowment plan should
be carried by every man and woman
as soon as they have finished their
schooling and are responsible to them
selves and others. It is a protection
against old age as well as protection
to your family in event Of death. II
you make deposit yearly on your life
insurance, when that policy natures
YOU can draw out in cash more money
than you paid in and also the interest
earnings on the money, at as good or
at better rate than you could get III
most banks, and in addition to that
you have been protected in case OF
death during the period. If death had
occurred your beneficiary would have
been paid the full amount Of the pol
icy, without deduction.
THRIFT is a panacea for Bolshe-
vism, for no man with home, bank
account, WaI Savings Stamps, Liberty
Bonds or Life Insurance policy will
listen to the teachings of radical
ism.
BY thrift. l mean not only saving
money, but mean Thrift in its broad
est sense. Thrift that stands for your
neighbors rights; Thrift that tends to
improve the mind and the body and
make better citizens; Thrift that pro-
vides little for each years needs.
The savings habit is simple one,
and in order to arrive at old age in
comfort in mind and body, one must
cultivate It.
Statistics show that only nine r.en
cut Of every hundred At sixty-five

On account of the scarcity Of print
paper we are compelled to run the pa
per as close as possible to it's present
size and have to crowd out matter that
we would like to publish. But all the
paper we can get at time is half a
ton and in using paper every day that
does not last the Times-Record but a
few days. We have never been at the
mercy of the print paper trust as we
are at this time and we can see no re-
lief in sight. If the paper looks crowd
ed that explains this fact. We are
up against it and may have to get
down to cutting out all other publica-
tons but the daily and unless we can
get paper faster than we are getting
it we shall have to use wrapping pap
er to print that on.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1920-01-22

value, together with the accumulated
earnings.
You see therefore, that one has all
the advantages of savings account
with large sum if death occurs, and
the money to enjoy should one live to
be old.
The purposes of a life insurance
policy are therefore two-fold; pro-
vides for wife and children, should
death occur, and if not, provides for
yourself and wife when you get old
and feeble. ''' .7FE
Do not delay taking insurance un-
til illness, accident or death denies
you the priilege. If you do you will
leave an asset of good intention only,
instead of cash life insurance.
Life insurance is friend in need,
and has saved many families from the
hardest of all poverty. There is no
time but the present in life insurance.
And in conclusion let me say that
Life Insurance is not an expense, but
the wisest of inestments, and the
sooner person starts to making
payments on a Life Insurance policy,
the sooner he will have started to
build his future.
