the paper bags are the best for the
reason that when proierly tied they
are air proof tas well as fly proof I
which retains a sweet flavor to the
meat and keeps it from becoming o

In considering the installation of a farm
electric plant, more must be taken into
account than mere price. There are
other things of greater importance.
You want to be sure you receive long
years of dependable service at low op

the plant you install will do the things
which are claimed.
Delco-Light is not an experiment. It

Uncle Sam says
of Life Insurance
That $18,000 is the right amount for the
young man in the army to carry. On this
basis we say the right amount for the young
man out of the army to carry is $5,000. As
you grow older you can take more from
time to time. We can write policies up to
$100,000, but $10,000 will dry many tears.
Death Debt
and the Sheriff
If your home is mortgaged, that is the com
bination your widow would have to face
unless you have a life insurance polity suf
ficient to pay off the mortgage.
"Life insurance is the only mint where sym
pathy for the widow is coined into cash."

made no provision for them, and still
are not putting forth any efforts now
to provide for them. We have no
park or playground, no skating rink
or swimming pool, no library or read

In Monday's Charlotte Observer on
the subject of parks and playgrounds.
And so I want to put in plea for the
skaters. I suggest that part of a cer

say from 3 to 5 o'clock, when the
boys and girl:i can skate without In

themselves or to pedestrians and au

and they need the fresh air after be

the glow of health to their cheek, and
