Victorian now holds the honor
alone. He is quoted at 4 to 1, while
Golden Prince has been raised from
4 to to /, sharing second choice

Bartelstein and Unna horses will
be sold in paddock auction, own

GOOD NEWS FOR
AUTO o w N Err S

Satisfactory experience under ex-
cess limits for Automobile Property
Damage Insurance and desire to
give all policyholders the benefit of
more adequate protection has caus-
ed the leading casualty insurance
companies of the country to an
nounce that car owners will now
receive without additional cost
minimum of $4,000 protection under
their Property Damage Policies ra-
there than the $1,000 minimum linn
it which has previously been in
force.
Property Damage Policies which
are now in force will be changed
by endorsement or by interpreta-
ton so that present policyholderS
will benefit by the increased pro-
lection. The additional coverage will
apply to accidents occurring on or
after the effective date of the
change.
According to c. G. Crenshaw, To-
cal representative of the Hartford
Accident and Indemnity Company,
this means that a car owner who
becomes involved in an accident
which results in the destruction of
the property of others is protected
up to $4,000. His insurance company
agrees to pay up to that amount
for any loss for which the aSsur-
ed may be legally iable-to pay all
costs taxed against the policyhold-
er in any suit-and to defend in
the name of the policyholder any
suit which may result under a Pro-
perty Damage claim.
The value of this increased pro-
lection is apparent when you con-
slider the extent of property damage
frequently caused by automobile ac-
cidents. Mr.. Crenshaw referred to
a number of such cases including
the recent collapse of steel bridge
structure over the Blanchard River

Legion Supporting
Hughes Bill 1897

Members of Ridge-Igo post of the
American Legion are busy sending
out circulars in support of bill
now pending in Congress known as
the Hughes Bill 1897.
Introduced by Rep. James Hughes
of West Virginia. the bill provides
for an extension of time on the pre-
sumptive clause of the World War
Veterans Act to enable disabled
veterans to receive compensation to
which they are entitled.
A sample letter form is present.
ed which the Legion asks all in
terested in veterans welfare to
copy and send to their respective
Senators. The letter is as follows:
my Dear Senator Cor Congress
mani -
1.-THE situation of the uncompen-
sated disabled veteran has been
brought to my notice, and I must
say am quite surprised to learn
that such deplorable condition ex-
lists. In the year 1918, there was no
such thing as a differentiation Or
discrimination between our boys,
nor was COST ever mentioned; and
I certainly cannot understand why
such things should enter into the
present problem NOW.
"It seems to me that a rank in
justice has been committed, and as
conscientious exponent of RIGHT
OVER MIGHT, in time of peace as
well as in war, I urgently request
your able support of Bill H. r. 1897
introduced by Rep. James Hughes
of West Virginia, which provides
for an extension of time on the
presumptive clause of the Worlc
War Veterans Act to enable these
disabled veterans to receive the
compensation to which they art
justly entitled.
Respectfully yours,
