Wind Storm Insurance fHE DAMAGE IS DONE The windstorm has done its damage and now we are hearing the old questions about tornado insurance; J asking what it is, what it can do and how much it costs, ! The time to find out is NOW?'before the* next storm. Remember that a policy carried year after year is an investment in security. When allowed to j lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different than gambling. The rates are reasonable; the protection sure. ('all loday-?let this agency prove the value of its service.

He attended to no business. Homebody el < fed him and waited on him. He o\wi? d no property. He paid no taxes. And he asked no alms. He got what other fyjks thought he needed, lb .'.us in the poorhouse. Then's another type of humanity that makes no mistakes, viz: the fool and the liar. I make so many mistakes every day I'm thankful I can't he (consistently) put in either nf these classes. Yet, 1 see many men and women in my rumblings around that say they make no mistakes, and when they make any, they have such a strong alibi?they think they prove their cjaims of immunity from erring. . An old gag says?when a doctor makes a mistake, he buries it. Uncle Joe says?when a merchant makes a mistake, he blames his scales, and when a lawyer makes a mistake, he sends his client to jail. When a bootlegger makes a mistake, he pleads ignorance. When a telephone operator makes a mistake, she admits it, and says?"Kxcuse me, please? there's no one on the line." ~ Most folks try to get out of their mistakes by saying?"I forgot. Others say?"I didn't understand the proposition," and ptill others claim that the lights blinded them, or he was on the wrong side of the road, or 1 didn't know the gun was loaded, or my wife's cousin told him to tell me that-you said that 1 might use it, or I thought it was only a plain note when 1 signed it, or my wife said so and so, ansoforth. ft takes a good man to admit all the mistakes he makes and then make them good. Girls cry over their mistakes, if they are good girls, but tough females cuss if you say she got drunk at the party, and denies that she even attended the blame thing. The Kaiser made a mistake, and he s in exile. Sen. b all made a mistake, and he's not respected by the honest offioe-hulders. Dohenny made a mistake, hut bought his way out. John Doe made his third mistake ii; succession, and now his wife is suing him for a divorce.! made a mistake, and had to take over the land. Hut 1 made another mistake, hihI it took me "J hours to prove that that hair on my shoulder was not exactly the same color of my wife's hair. Hi 1 Jones made a mistake when he called Sam Whistler a lie. and now Bill's in the hospital. And thus we all go on from day to day making the same mistakes over and over again. That is?you do. I started to school when I was about 8 years old. It was the fashion at that time to teach all schools in churches, a- there were no school houses, and consequently?I was assigned a seat on a bench in the "amen" corner. I wore a little lindsey dress wit'; black stripes a-ound it and red striperunning up and down. It was th. rule for little hoys to wear dresses until they were s or P years old. awhich time they began wearing shirts, except when they went out in hig society, and they either wore dresseo: never went. I was as scared of my tea. he then as I am of a lion now. 1 remember tho first day I began to absorb knowledge. 1 wanted to cough several times but was afraid to risk it. and on those occasions, my face got so purple from holding my breat.. it looked like a beef liver. I finally had to give up and cough, and the teacher only looked at me and didn'" kill me as I expected. ? My principle studies during the d-months term were blue back speller, j slate and pencil. It was the custom ! in those days to teach writing, and ] 1 remember 1 made "IV for several weeks, and before the session was i over, I got so I could make up to 5. 1 reached "b-a-k-e-r" in my blue back speller the second term. Our teacher didn't make us stand up in the comer when we broke one of her rules, but she fixed us so's we couldn't sit down anywhere in comfort for a day or so. It was the custom to keep not less than three good switches in reaching distance, and our teacher saw that a fresh stock was brought in every day or two. It was as great a breach of the rules to whisper in school as it would now bo to stand up on a 'desk and cuss a teacher to her face or his face. J We had 3 recesses, 2 little re wmtmmmmmmmmmmm cesses, and one big recess. And believe me, Simanthy, them was real recesses. We got a tiny snack out of our lunch bucket at the first recess, and ate the balance at big recess. M> trouble was?I always ate everything I had in my bucket every morn- J ir:g on the way to school, and conse-1 qiicntly?I almost starved to death before I got back home. Our teacher was well paid for her services. The salary was $20.00 per numth, and the parents made it up. Some rich folks attended this school. Take Sallie Jenkins, for instance; her daddy had a top buggy. And Willie Smith's mother hud gold "year, rings." and Sammie Brown's big sister wore a silk petticoat. And there were other "symptoms" of wealth in our community, but I will not relate any more of them. And we cried when school was over, and actually Jo-, ed our teacher. Do You Know That a 300-ton news mill produces sufficient paper for 8,000 sixteenpage newspapers every minute, and that this paper is made at the rate of forty five miles per hour? Some machine tenders may ride forty-five an hour in the old Tin Lizzie, but did they ever think of figuring how many miles per hour the paper machine runs ? That 300 tons of news per day is a very nice production for a paper mill, and yet it is only four minutes' supply for North America?' That on a news machine, running about 000 feet per minute, the sheet is five-eighths of. an inch thick and carries 200 parts of water at the slices, and three seconds later at the couch roll it is only three one-thousandths thick and has but three parts of water ? That when the paper machine is [running around at 1,000 feet per minute it is unrolling a 13-foot log into a half-mile sheet of paper in three minutes ? That 22,000 newspapers and periodicals in the United States using newsprint consume 3,000,000 tons, or for every working day, a strip of paper I thirteen feet wide that would encircle the globe??'Superior Facts.
