Insured yes, but
for how much?
The question of how much insurance you should carry cannot
be answered until your insurance agent knows how much it
would cost to replace your property. When you have settled that
fact you have answered your question.
Adequate insurance means sure indemnity in a big, well known
Company. For over a century this company has been saving the
company. This agency represents the Hartford Fire Insurance
victims of fire from financial ruin.

1 200 SAMPLE SWEATERS FOR men

JONESBORO, ARK.
, The Summerville News,
Dear Sir:— z
I would like to say a few words
' through your paper, of which I have
been a subscriber for a long time, to
1 those who may like to know I have
been in Arkansas four months. Caine
here to build a dormatory for the
1 Jonesboro Baptist college. We had to
stop for lack of funds to complete,
but hope to have soon. This college Is
■ owned and controlled by the home
1 mission board, with headquarters in
Atlanta, Ga. Dr. J. N. Mallory, presi
dent, here and a board of trustees.
Everything needed in a four year
college course is being taught. A great
institution indeed, for preachers, its
who want to make good as many are.
There are one main three-story
school building, many other smaller,
and a lot more planned, when funds
are available with 94 acres to build on
which some day they hope to have as
great an institution as may be had
anywhere in the south.
I am very much interested in school
and church building. Will be back in
Georgia in a short time.
Some may wish to know about the
country, can truthfully say this is
becoming the greatest farming sec
tion any where in the south, much yet
undeveloped. Some very low—has
dredge ways to carry out the water,
Some high but not many mountains
here. You can take your choice.
I have traveled over the state quiet
a bit, had my family out here three
weeks this summer. Went to Hot
Springs, Little Rock and many other
places.
A chance for many who have the
force to get a home on easy terms.
Millions of feet of timber. People
very clever and anxious to give need
ed information. I have visited all
kinds of sections around for 30 to 50
miles.
And you may see rice in this section
some times as far as you can see, then
corn or cotton in other sections, this
has been the biggest crop on record.
I never saw any better anywhere.
Could write a lot but will close say
ing anyone with willing mind can
succeed here.
Yours truly,
W. S. SITTON.

A Buying Bread _
Stiff Guess-Work Withljou)
~-the softness of bread is no *
guarantee of its freshness
Most housewives believe that unless a
loaf of bread feels soft, it is not fresh.
This is a false impression, because some
breads, on account of a lack of proper
mixing, proving and baking, always feel
soft and spongy, whether fresh or not.
This is not so with Merita Bread, be
cause Merita, with its properly balanced
ingredients and scientific mixing, prov
ing and baking, is firm from the time it
comes out of the oven —and the fresh
ness is guaranteed.
So remember when buying bread, all
you need do is ask for “Merita”—and
you are assured of its always being
fresh.
