IS YOUR PROPERTY
FULLY INSURE!
AGAINST FIRE?
The Insurance Companies
suggest to their agents that
all buildings should be insur-
ed at their PRESENT RE
PLACEMENT VALUES and
not what they cost years ago.
Building costs have great- J
ly increased and many prop
erty owners are now carrying
only 40 or 50 per cent of the
insurable value on their home
or business building.
Let us write additional in
surance for you now.
Don't wait until a fire oc
curs and then regret that you
had only half enough insur
ance to cover your loss.
Call us and we will be glad
to tell you how much insur
ance you should carry.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
From Saturday's Dally.
Spring must not be far away; we
noticed several groups of schoolboys
playing marbles the other day. Not
high school boys, of course.
Captain Mutz of the Auburn five
had a lot of nice things to say about
what his team would do to us last
Friday. He gave us an awful talk
ing to at our rally that afternoon.
We did not have much to say, but
that night we let numbers, talk and
Auburn went home with a score of
35 to 28 piled up against them. No
sir. it doesn't pay to boast on Friday
the 13th.
Yes, and that's not all! Miss
Stevens treated the team .(and one
other fellow) to an oyster supper
after game. She beat Mr. I
ratt I.),
it. though he Rot his ii on -Monday j
niRht. Oyster suppers are quite the
thins this year.
The Junior class Is feeling quite
jubilant over the result of their hen-
efit show last Monday. A preat
many people were disappointed In '
not seeing those two star comedians,
George Dovey and Dean Douglass,
but all who had tli-e good fortune to
be present at their performance were
well pleased.
Miss Weyrieh came up and gave us
some fine music on lur Edi-on. Wp
had to have some kind of niu-ic
since Mrs. Morgan has left us.
The llavelock high school can
colled the game we were to play nt
llavelock on Thursday. This waj
quite a disappointment to the whole
school as we expected to make a good
showing at llavelock. However, the
thirst for blood had to be satisfied
somewhere so Manager Pratt secur
ed' a game with ihe school for the
deaf.
The assembly room clock has a
wonderful reputation for beating the
town clock and iIl other timepieces
in town to 1:15. Result, a nice long
tardy list. '
