Of course, some members have more than one
policy; and many of you are also insured in other
companies. But the great majority are UNDER
INSURED, as you will see.

The value of q workers
life is the cash worth OF
his future net earnings,
usually far greater than
the value Of his property.
The following points may
help you to estimate the
monetary value of your
life.
The United States Gov
eminent fixed $4,000 as
the insurable life-value
of American soldiers and
sailors in the Great War,
mostly young unmarried
men who had been earning
small incomes or none at
all.
Recently. according to
the New York Times, the
American Statistical AS
ISOLATION declared that the
money value of the aver
age American life (includ-.
ing children and adults
who earn no income) is
SIT, 800! AS an income
Garner, the value of your
life is much greater.
Consider the capital required
to produce income from inter-
est. At $50, it takes $4,000 to
yield $1,000 a year-$1OO a

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, June is H1.-Corn acted
as magnet today, and lifted all the
Grain markets. Prevailing temperatures
and other conditions we're still untitled
to hurry along the corn crop, and the
Missouri official state report said the
outlook for corn there is the worst in
40 years.
Closing quotations on corn were
strong, IL cents to Us cents net high
er on the days top figures, with wheat
unsettled but showing Il cent to rs
cent gain; oats 15D * cent to * cent
up, and provisions varying from 5
cents decline to an equal advance. ia
Notwithstanding an evident general
disposition to go slow in grain trading
until pending legislation at Springfield
has been definitely acted upon, the
crop outlook III regard u corn ap-
peared so uncertain as yet that aggres-
sive buying developed at times in, the
corn pit and found offerings scarce.
This was especially the case at the
finish and also when attention was
first drawn to the official report show
ing the corn season in missouri as a.
whole is Is to 81 days late and III
southeast Missouri so days behind nor
NAL.
Temperatures throughout the corn
belt today were too low either for ger
mination or growth of corn, and al
though the forecast indicated some
warming up, no out-and-out salts
factory corn weather was in prospect.
Meanwhile, country offerings were
light, and inaSmuch as farmers will be
fully occupied for some time in cul-
tivating, predictions were general that
only small movement Of corn to mar
ket need be looked for after this, week.
Oats sympathized with corn.
Some. export buying of new crop
winter wheat at cents over September
helped to strengthen theswheat market
in the late dealings. Wheat clearances
for the day totaled .795 900 bushels, Cal

MUCH SNOW FENCING HAS BEEN
PUT UP ON ROADS IN RED
WOOD AND BROWN COUN.
TIES,

With King Winter knocking at our
very doors the middle of November
there is much interest in the efforts
than have been and will be made TO
keep the highways open this winter.
Considerable efforts have been put
forth by authorities in charge of
roads to have the weeds cut along
the highways. Where patrolmen are
employed this rule is comparatively
easy to enforce and this applies par
ticularly to trunk routes and state
roads. However, township officials
have been vigilant in this regard, too,
for where weeds are cut it is much
easier to keep the roads open during
periods of heavy snow.
This year, also, much larger
amount of snow fence has been erect
ed along the highways. Snow fence
has been found to be very economi-
cal as we'll as effective means Of pro-
tecting roads from heavy drifts
Snow fence is especially desirable
along cuts and where groves are apt
TO block the snow and cause the roads
to fill up. The state highway de-
partment now has several hundred
miles of snow fence for the trunk
routes.
Redwood county has purchased q
considerable extra amount of fence
for the state roads. About 1000 feet
of fencing was placed at the disposal
of the patrolmen working out of Nor.
gan whereas last year they had only
1900 feet.
Redwood county also has a snow
pillow for use on state roads which was
purchased late in the season last win
ter. 1t is operated with caterpille1
tractor and proved its worth in the
heavy SHOWS late in the winter. The
county road authorities hope that
this pillow will prevent an extended
tie-up of the state roads unless the
heavy SHOWS come too often.
The Brown county board and many
township boards have seen the wis.
dom of resorting to snow fences as
a protection to the roads in winter
and 100000 feet of fencing has beer
put up in that county in addition to
what has been put up along the Bah.
cock roads. Over half of that went
on state roads and the balance was
handled by the various townships
Eden township used 1900 feet on To-
cal roads. Home township, east OF
Eden, has purchased new snow pillow
for local use. Other townships will
watch the experiment with interest
