FINE RECORD FOR
HOME COMPANY
Remarkable Gains Made By
Farmers Mutual Fire In
surance Company

One of the MOST remarkably sue
cessful Institutions in Rusk county is
its own insurance company.
This is the Farmers Mutual Town
Fire Insurance Co, and it is, as its
name suggests, made up mostly of
farmers, and its business is mostly in
the country districts. A brief study
Of the figures published in the COM
pany's advertisement in this paper,
will enlighten anyone on what this
company has accomplished in the last
five years.
The business Of the company has in
creased almost six fold in four years
and eight months. while the assess
ments levied to pay losses have de-
creased in almost an inverse ratio.
The amount of insurance in\ force ON
Dec. 81. 1916. was S265,591 and the
assessment rate was $13 per thou
sand. Sept. l, 1921. less than five
years later, the business in force was
s1,565, ,040, but the assessment rate
was only $3.50.
AS the company is distinctly
''home" institution, it is but natural
that home people should be proud of
il and support 1t. The directors are
substantial and well-knOwn farmers.
One office. that of secretary, Is held
by city man, Atty. ]. w. Carow, Of
LadySmith, who has done much for
the institution in attaining the rec
ord it has made.

HAD WRONG
KIND OF GUN
But Result Was Same In Munic-
ipal COurt.-Warning to
s'SOOners"

Carl Kunz, of Chicago, killed no
game last Sunday while hunting in the
vicinity of Wright's Lodge, but it was
his own fault-he tried hard enough
to. He tried rabbits, coursed by Bea-
gle hounds, then he tried his rife at
shooting looms on the lake. He had
the wrong kind of gun; perhaps he
would have done no better with a
'scattergun.', All be got out Of it
was little exercise and a fine of $50,
accompanied by the usual trimmings.
Conservation Warden SOule inti-
mates quite plainly that all "soOners'
will receive the same treatment if he
gets the facts on them.
