PLATTENBURG WILL TALK
ON TOWN BOOSTING
He Is One of the .'Rig Ones" You
Will Hear at the Holly
ChautauOua.


Chautauqua.
Every civic body, city officials and
all. should turn out to hear Plat
tenburg. This isn't only a whale of
speech by a big orator but it bores
right into the problems that at this
time are confronting you as town
boosters.
Plattenburg knows for he has made
this community business study and
hobby for years. He is more at home
with an audience of interested town
boosters than anywhere else. His
speeches have been printed In million
lots. Such prominent organizations
as the Retail Merchants Association
of Kentucky have circularized their
state with the Home Town" speech.
1t is customary for stores to close
to hear Plattenburg. 1t is an op-
portunity too good to miss or for any
good citizen to pass up.

MUTUAL INSURANCE
FOR THE FARMERS
ASSOCIATED Press}

Washington, March 4-The depart
ment Of agriculture, in cooperation
with mutual insurance companies, has
prepared suggestions for a state law
providing for the organization of
farmers mutual fire insurance COM
panies to meet. the needs Of states
whose laws make no suitable provis-
ion for such companies.
The value of these companies, the
of agriculture says, is
demonstrated by the record Of ap-
proximately 1000 such organizations
in the United States that carry q total
insurance exceeding $4,000, ,O00, 900 on
property valued at more than $780,
600, 900. or more than two-fifts of the
value of all insurable farm property
in the AZ states.
The suggested law is designed to
make it easy for 20 or more qualified
individuals to organize a farmers
mutual insurance company. At the
same time provisions are included to
guard the financial integrity of such
companies.
The average cost for this form Of
protection for the country as whole
is only 25 cents per 800.
