accidents are not always avoid
able.
It may be the other fellows
fault, but in any event, if you are
carrying liability and property
damage insurance, the insurance
company will fight your battle
for you in case Of a suit for
damages, and settle the claim if
there is one against you.
If you are not protected with
this insurance coverage, you may
be confronted with expenses at
tendant upon a law suit, and if
a judgment is given against you,
it may wipe out the entire saw
ings of your lifetime, and even
future earnings. No man can af-
ford to take this chance.

Agriculture Is the basic FACTOR
here. Manufactures and soft coal
mining are considerable items.
This section produces nearly 80
per cent of our cigarette output,
and that industry is humming.
Farmers Hold Key
The key to the situation, how
ever, is on the farm.
Probably this explains the kind
of business sentiment I find here.
The farmers are seeing their
worst days.
They are gradually getting on
the way to Improvement. But
they have a good way to go, be-
cause they are in debt and their
land is worth little at present.
Land Market Nil
There is simply no market for
farm lands. Bank examiners tell
me that they cannot tell how
good or bad a banks loans on
land are, because there are no
bids-no buyers. For the present,
the land has no definite value.
The crops of grain and fruits
are truly wonderful in this Sec
tion. The farmers are going TO
be able to feed themselves.
The large yields mean low
costs. The trouble is that they
suffered a ruinous drought last
year, and now they cannot get
good prices for their good crops.

Statistics will show that more
than $4,000 persons have met
death in automobile accidents in
this country during the first six
months of this year, with each
month showing an increase over
the corresponding period in 1880
An average of about 81 Ameri-
can citizens is killed and more
than 2,700 injured in automobile
accidents every day in the year.
Take Family Risk
The automobile accident situa-
ton is, in reality. everyone'S prob
lem. Some responsibility rests
with the companies writing auto
mobile insurance. The companies
can tighten up their efforts to
make certain that the man who
does not deserve insurance pro
lection does not get it.
OF course, no company today
will, knowingly. accept the intem.
perate or reckless driver as an
assured, but they must go farther
than that. They should make
certain that the man who appears
to be an acceptable risk really is
acceptable. They must be sure
that the person in whose name
the policy is written has no mem
bers of his family, accustomed to
driving his car, who would not
be acceptable risks.
Companies must not hesitate
to terminate the coVerage on the
first development of unfavorable
knowledge on a risk. Such meas
ures on the insurance companies
part should help to reduce the
number of reckless and intemper-
ate drivers on the roads. and
should cause the men who are
cautious drivers to be more care.
full who they permit to use their
cars.
Insurance Needed
Every owner of an automobile
who is an acceptable risk should
carry automobile insurance pro

property damage coverage. While
