There is no suffering, mental and physical, like losing a home 

 or farm building by fire. When you're not insured, the distress 

 is more acute and there's no need for it. Illinois farmers now 

 insure together in a big strong company. Farmers Mutual, at 

 rates as low as 30 per cent less than you would ordinarily pay in a 

 company not operating on the co-operative basis. Farmers Mutual 

 was built, and built strong, so that when you insure with other 

 organized Illinois farmers, you know that Farmers Mutual will 

 help you re-build quickly with the money from a promptly de- 

 livered claim check. . . . The insurance agent at your County Farm 

 Bureau office has full details and rates. He will be glad to explain 

 everything to you ... at no obligation to you of course.

BEWARE OF MARCH! 



The month of sudden fires . . . high winds ... 

 total losses . . . suffering. Most March fires 

 start from overheated stoves and furnaces . . , 

 burning of accumulated trash ignites clogged 

 flues . . . sparks carried by the March wind 

 fan into flames. . . . Beware of March. . . . Take 

 special care with fires and chimneys. . . . Inspect 

 them. . . repair them now rathei- than later. . . . 

 If you don't you may have no chimney to inspect.
