INSURANCE A NECESSITY
INSURANCE ACTUALLY DEALS WITH EVERY HONEST
BUSINESS CNDER THE SUN
Fire insurance has come to he not only a householder's security,
but a national necessity. The home owner must protect his family
and pro-ride shelter; the renter must guard his household goods.
Business concerns, factories, churches, schools, colleges and cor?
poratlons must protect their property investments. The man who
can thus provide the security of a community against financial loss
from fl?? is its insurance agent, through his companies.

TO SAVE IS MORAL -RALEIOH

teut ? Cites Instances.
Raleigh, May 25. ? Calling upon the
Ku Klux Klan to take definite action
on the immorality which he declared
was going 011 in Kaleigh and of which
he gave alleged uih;,uu;-hh, the Re*.
Charles Hudson, of Southaide Me
morial Baptist church, tonight de
clared that he would net blame thff
Ku Klux Klau for taking a man out
of an automobile aud beating the
hound out of hint," and challenged
the members of the order to get Into
automobiles, ride out toward Lassl
ter's Mill (a local sv.lmmlng pool)
and see for themselves what Is going
on.
The sermop which was announced
as "Automobile, Women, and the Ku
Klux Klan," followed the singing of
"Let the Lower Lights be Burning,"
with the words changed to "Let the
fiery cross be burning," as an offer
tory by the choir.
"I am not a member of the K. K. K.,"
the preacher declared in opening his
sermon. "I do not know anything about
the K. K. K., and therefore I can talk
about it. But if the Ku Klux Klan Is
what it says It is, they can and must
save the citizenship of this community.
They must see to it that every scoun
drel Is brought to the law and punish
ed for his crime.
"I believe that the law Is willing
and ready to do Its part, but it is not
able," he declared after he had cited
several alleged instances of men com
mitting and getting away with crime
in Raleigh. "The organization of which
I have spoken, the Ku Klux Klan, If
properly utilized, can save the day,
where the preacher, the church, and
the law cannot save It. I invite you.
If there are any of you here, to go
to Lassiter's mill end you will see
how many cars are parked by the side
of the road. The roads around here
are no longer decent places for men to
take their families to ride.
"I do caW -on the Ku Klux Klan, if
they can help us, and I would not
blame you if you should take a man
out of a nautomobile and beat the
hound out of him.
"The Ku Klux Klan can remedy
this thing, and I call on them to do
It."
DON'T PULL FODDER
PLANT HAY CROPS NOW
Raleigh, May 23. ? "Many sermons,
articles, letters and other speeches
both written and spoken have been di
rected at the practices of pulling fod
der and cutting- corn tops; but, It is
useless to preach on this subject in
the late summer or fall," says E. C.
Blair, extension agronomist for the
State College of Agriculture. "It's too
late then. At that time the farmer
generally has his last chance to pro-,
! vide sufficient feed for the coming
vrinter and rather then do without,
he saves it from his corn crop. For
that yfiar, therefore, he is compelled
to take. the tops and fodder or else
hire a shredding outfit and in most
cases this Is out of the question. This
then, Is why provision for hay and
roughago should be made at this seas
on of the year."
Mr. Blair states that by August or
September it Is er.sy to realize the ad
vantage of a moving machine ov?r
the bare hands as a gatherer of rough
age. The proper time to give the mat
ter consideration is vhile there Is yet
time to plant hay .crops. If enough
hey is grown for livestock, then the
fodder and tops will not be needed.
Soybeans and cowpeas may be planted
now and will make from one to two
tons of nutritious hay per aero. Sudan
grass, sorghUm and the millets all
yield heavily on goou land. Sam"
farmers may find it convenient to
plant a hay crop after vrheat. oats
or rye and still others mr.y replace
part of the corn crop with planting
for hay.

Interesting Figures
(Complied from government statistics)
There are 17.000,000 motor vehicles in the world today. Of this
number M. 500,000 or S3 per cent are registered in the United States.
The 4. 000,000 cars produced In 1923 showed a 50 per cent increase
in production over 1922 and represnted a wholesale value of J2,
510,885,000 *
Thirty-seven per cent of the automobiles in Canada are reported
owned by farmers, with only sixteen per cent operated by business
people.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand carloads of parts and acces
sories >-ere shipped last year ? a train of cars 6,390 miles long.
The average retal price per car was JS11.00. That of a truck $1,
080.00.
Government budget experts have esimated the cost of operation of
an automobile on a mileage basis to be seven cents per mile.
Only 15 per cent of automobiles are free of encumbrances.
The 'otal amount spent for maintenance and operation of cars
last year averaged $60 for every man, woman and child in the United
States.
Last year approximately $3,000,000,000 was spent tu the United
States for clothing as compared with $7,000,000,000 for' the mainten
ance an 1 operation of automobiles. Two and one-half times as much
money was spent for automobile operation as for clothing.
The effect of this unusually large expenditure of money for auto
mobiles no doubt has effected some other lines of business.
