Hogs Versus Husbands Insurance Tale in Rural Notice
A rural note recalls a hog insured for 10000 dollars that stopped on a railroad and was struck by a train, killing both hog and farmer. The widow collected 10000 on the hog, none for the husband, prompting reflections on value, insurance and prudent self protection for families. The item comments on potential propaganda and local business ventures while noting a July birth and a training plan for drivers and horses at the fairgrounds.
