Dinners For Threshers On Wane
Bluffton Implement Man Says

"There is more to the story than
that. The new, small combine not
only saves time, twine, labor, and
equipment expense for the owner,
but it actually saves grain under
most conditions. The elimination of
extra handling that comes through
binding, shocking, pitching bundles,
and threshing separately insures
maximum saving of the grain itself.
"The small combine is a boon to
the womenfolks in the kitchen. In
stead of providing for extra help at
harvest time and cooking for a big
threshing crew later, the wife of the
combine owner has no more work to
do and no more mouths to feed than
she does at any other time of year"
Mr.. Niswander predicts that with
in five years small combines will be-
come commonplace and will replace
binders on many farms in this vi
cinity

"Streamlining" has come to the
harvest field. This is the story
brought home by c. F. Niswander
from a sales meeting held by the
International Harvester Company.
In discussing this new development
Mr.. Niswander said, "The introduc-
tion of the new four-foot combine,
latest addition to the Mccormick
Deering line of equipment for small
farms, will bring the same speed
and economy to the small grower
that heretofore has been enjoyed by
the large grain farmers.
"With this small, efficient machine,
one man can harvest and thresh
grain, beans, peas, or any thresh-
able crop, in one operation without
extra help. 1t puts him on the
same economic basis as the man who
crops a half section or more because
it places his costs right in line with
the large producer.

Ohio newspapers gave generous
amounts of space to the story OF the
low price of eggs as compared with
their food value. Several of the
papers found such interesting angles
in eggs and methods of cooking
them that feature stories were pre-
pared for Sunday issues.
Radio stations joined in the cam

journals were working in their own

Insurance Co.
Has Big Year
Report for 1889 Shows Record
by Jefferson Standard :
Life Insurance Co.

GREENSBORO. - Especially -
"Highlight of the past year," re-
ports Julian Price, reelected
president of the Jefferson Stand
srd Life Insurance Company,
"was the splendid net rate of in
terest earned on our invested as
sets. The interest earned was 81
percent, and it is expected that
this figure will again represent
the highest received by any ma
jor insurance company"
A dividend of rs cents a share
was declared on all company
stock as of January %, payable
January 26.
Reviewing the progress made
by Jefferson Standard before the
directors meeting held at the
home office in Greensboro, Presi-
dent Price noted that over $5,-
100000 of dividends and policy
proceeds have been left with the
company under various settle
ment options. During the past
year 80 percent of death claims
settlements and matured endoW-
ments have been left at interest
with the company.
1.-THE large amount OF money
left with the company under
settlement options, dividends
and premiums paid in advance,
and the small increase in policy
loans," explained Mr.. Price, Gin
dictate a continued improvement
in the financial condition of our
policyholders, as we'll as conf
dence in the company's ability to
safeguard these trust funds, for
in 1899, as in every year since
organization, our company has
paid percent interest on funds
left in trust"
Annual statement statistics
showed $6,35O,OOO was paid to po-
icyholders and beneficiaries dur
ing 1899, which makes a total
payment to policyholders and
beneficiaries since the organiza~
ton of the company in 1907 the
sum of $111,8OO,O0O.
The amount of life insurance
now in force with the Jefferson
Standard Life Insurance Com
pany totals $402,500,O00.
FINALLY" concluded President
Price, "our mortality rate was
again less than 5 percent of the
expected, which means that our
mortality for two, consecutive
years has been lower than in any
of the II years preceding 1888.
The average mortality rate for
1927 to 1887 was So percent"
This analysis of the 1889 pro-
gress of Jefferson Standard was
made by Mr.. Price following the
annual stockholders meeting re-
Gently.
Stockholders reelected all
members of the board of direc-
tors. All officers, executive and
administrative staff members

CHAPTER TX
Synopsis

Lee HOLSTER, returning unex-
pectedly from trip abroad to
the Circle v ranch, his home from
childhood, is troubled by signs of
neglect. Joey, an old prospectOr
friend of Matt Blair, Lees foster
father and owner of the ranch,
tells Lee that Matt has killed
himself, probably discouraged by
hard times. The ranch is going to
ruin and Virginia, Mats daugh-
ter, is visiting the Archers, her
aunt and uncle, i'm New York. Her
uncle wants her to se1f the place
to Milton Bradish, old associate
of Mats. Lee persuades Virginia
to return to the ranch. Mrs. Ar
cher follows her, accompanied by
Stanley, son of Milton Bradish.
Stanley thinks he may be able
to discredit Lee in Virginia's eyes,
and encourages Josefa Ramirez
in her liking for Lee. One even
ing J0Sefa forces Lee to watch
her dance, and throws herself in
to his arms just as Virginia rides
past with Stanley.
