easier time II they had staged
their conference back in John
Paul Jones day, or even in Far
ragut's. 1t wasn't so complicated
then. Just look what they have to
know about today:
Battle cruisers, battleships.
light cruisers, destroyers, subma-
rines, airplane carriers, sixteen to
twenty-inch guns and nearly a
million lesser details, all differ

John Paul Jones and Farragut
didn't need a card index and flo
tilla of yeoman sierks to keep
track of the different kings of
fighting ships he had depend on.
John and the ad trails of his day
had only three mapor classes OF
ships.
1nTee major GLASSES.
There were: The ship of the
line, which was the equivalent to
our battleship OF today; the frig-
ate, or what would be a modern
cruiser, and the sioop of war, or
corvette, which was light cruis-
ing vessel. These three classes
made up the navies of the world
up Farragut's day, in the Civil
war.
To further simplify matters,
ships were ranked according to
their guns, the guns being ar
in tiers in the ships sides.
Ships Of the line carried from "a
guns to 100 nd were known as
'74s" or 1905" although they
always carried more guns than
they were credited with. AS fur
Iher guide the gun tiers we're
marked by broad white bars
around the ship lengthwise. The
most ignorant lookout man in the
tops could tell instantly whether
a vessel I'm the offing" was for
nidable line ship or merely light
scout by the number OF bands. To-
day 1t takes a naval officer and
perhaps a book of silhouetted
shapes Of vessels to identify an
other fighting ship ON the horizon.
Guns All Simple.
The guns OF those days were
likewise simple. Instead of the

Then he looked blank, then
frightened and finally said there
was nothing there. He insisted
he had left II there. A thorough
search proved that there was no
money anywhere on the premises.
A grueling cross examination
failed to shake the story, and 10
became apparent that Stevens
was telling the truth.
But where was the money? .....
There were almost as many

busy two weeks trailing down

that IL premature death were to over
take them within the next two OF

left with practically nothing.
Many men have admitted this to
be a fact and at the same time talk
about dropping their life insurance
Should a ship about to encounter a
great storm endeavor to tighten its
cargo by first throwing over its life
boats? Surely not!
have demonstrated to a few men
within the last few days that their
life insurance is good property to
own. Why? What other property
do you own upon which you can bor-
row money on demand at per cent

FIRE INSURANCE

In ordinary times many people
carried inadequate fire insurance be-
cause they either, in the false sense
of security, felt it couldn't happen
to us" or that they could mortgage
and rebuild or that they could just
write a check for new house. Those
times are not now except for a few.
l maintain that now of all times is
the time to be adequately protected
on all your property by fire insurance
because under present conditions a
fire loss would be terrible thing
because so many can neither mort
gage nor write a check that will be
cashed for a new house, barn, stock
or farming outfit.
Every year l pay the farmers of
this vicinity in fire losses more than
they pay me, many times over, but
| keep carrying farm insurance for
two reasons. When l show thousands
Of loss I know l am rendering a SER
vice to the community. l live in the
hope that sometime can get enough
business on the books to either break
even or show a credit that | know
will be used in some other unfortun-
ate community.
Fire insurance costs so little that
there is no need of being without
protection up to nearly the cash
value of the property.
In dealing with this office you
have many years of highly technical
training behind your policy; you adj
just your loss with me and you know
you are going to get all you have
coming, no more, no less. You know
your policy fits the property. You
get service second to none.
Call 100 and make date with me.
