The exchange, of views, information, I ' e "'" insurance, nre

tliscussion of various subjects pertain- t

Injc one or another matter fully justi-

ties the existence of clubs and associations. Motor clubs In particular have made traveling on highways safer and saner. They are responsible to a great extent for the existence of good traffic laws. The legislation advocated by them are remedies to correct certain existing evils, and to advance the general welfare of the motor owner and driver. Traveling along the road we notice conspicuous signs "Sl'EKD THAT," obey speed limit. At some other locations we see feigns "PKATH THAI'." The object of these signs is to protect life and property of the onto driver. "SPEED TRAPS," posters save the American auto owner millions .f dollars in the form of '"fines."' forfeited bonds, constable., town marshal, "j.'uk pot," and the annoyanco of being palled around dark. . unventil.ited J. 1. courts. The "DEATH THAI'" sign is l ho gtea'et,t life-saver on the r-.ni The activities of the auto association in the directions of saving life and property fully appreciated. The I'henomal growth in membership and influence ipeak for itself. Its efforts in behalf of good road building bus its due consideration: but the motor club's mission as guurditin of the auto owner's Interest is not ended yet. Every now and then we hear or read that one or another "HIGH SOl'NDING, OLDEST, LONGEST. -MUTUAL, COOPERATIVE MOTOR INSURANCE KXCHANGE" goes to the wall Their baits are tempting, prices low, r.iy-as-you-ean. Standard insurance

companies do not accept full coverage I . risks, except in rare cases. The "fly j by night," outfits ask no questions. AHj

you got to la sign, pay and the rest will take care of itself. And it does, too. Then they go to the wall. You go first, second and last: 1. You have paid for insurance and you have none. 2. Go to a conference rat insurance company take out a policy, and pay for it again. 3. If there are any claims outstand

It may appear to some suspicious creature that I am a sort of a press agent for the old line reliable, standarn conference rate insurance companies, but this is not the case. 1 am not even on friendly ternns with any of the insurance agents t Gary. AVe are rather "sore" at each other. They are peeved because I went out looking for bargains, and I am provoked because they failed to warn me about the "African and the wood-pile." However, I deem it my moral duty to suggest to my fellow members of the Hoosier Motor Club that the old saying "what ever is cheap is rotten," still young. If you are in the market for a car, go to the

(automobile dealer, but don't forget to j tell him you are buying a car, and not

insurance or lawsuits. If you need Insurant, look up the highest pricen insurance agent in your city, and let him cover you; it will be the cheapest
