LIFE INSURANCE SOLICITING
AS AN UP-TO-DATE BUSINESS
There Is Plenty of Room at the Bot
LONESOME Interesting Facts by
Jas. w. Alexander, in Success"

In the other professions, 1t Is said
that there is lenty of room at the top.
In life insurance, there is plenty OF
room at the bottom; that Is, for young
fellows just beginning. To one man whe
is insured for his life, there are many
who might be. Even In New York city,
where there are more agents in propof-
tion to population than anywhere else
In this country, not one-tenth of the
field is covered. 1t is a field that
keeps constantly renewing itself.
Young men who are taking upon them
selves the responsibilities of married
life need life insurance, and can be
convinced Of the fact. Men whos are
already insured almost always take
out larger policies as their incomes
grow. Thus an agent obtains cliente-
lage which is continuing source of in
come to him.
The time is past for regarding life
insurance soliciting as temporary oc-
cupation. None but men who are sure
that the fed offers them complete
career and adequate reward for their
output of energy and talent through
the whole course of, their working
years can succeed nowadays in busi-

work, they are given it when possible.
Nothing is left undone that will help
the agents, FOR they are, OF course, the
bone and sinew of the company. We
are all workers together for COM
mon end. If, in addition to ability as a
field worker a man has executive abil-
ity, he may achieve position in the in
surance business Of unusually large re-
wards and great power. He may be-
come, first, a general manager-that
is, the manager of certain district,
directing the work of all the agents
therein. These places are much
sought for, as the general agent usual
ly receives a commission on the re-
turns of all agents under him, and has
an excellent vantage ground for the
writing of a very large personal busi-
ness. There are, of course, various
grades of districts, the best men work
ing up to the control Of the most re-
munerative ones. The man who re-
CARDS the work as a makeshift Is the
one who fails.

tent. to direct and mold the mind of

must inspire confidence and possess a
personality of sufficient force to give
his words weight. The men who have
won the remarkable success in the in

are always enthusiastic and optimlst-
ic; and. as surely as burning flame
will light a match, they communicate
their enthusiasm to others.

others. that has the latchstring out for

relatives or friends behind, but afoot.

AS the result of studies on New Jer-
ey mosquitoes last summer, Professor
John B. Smith of Rat gers college says
that not Only will the insects travel
long distances from their breeding
Elace, but on favorable evenings large
swarms rise and are carried during
the night by winds. The direction III
which they so is often seaward.
Swarms have been met Is miles from
the shore, and they are common five
miles from shore. Migration OF mos
quitoes, with the aid Of the winds,
Professor Smith regards as of much
Importance, and as rendering the con-
troll of the mosquito nuisance a state
rather than local affair. The Ano-
pheles mosquitoes continue to breed
long after frost has set in, and even a
covering of ice on ponds is not fatal
to their larvae and pupae.

TWO WHO FAILED.

A man failed after trying long,
And then sat down and wondered why;
He saw not where he had been wrong,
Nor where fair chances had slipped oy.
All that he did was sit and gaze
Upon the hopes strewn round him there
And wonder on through all his days
Why fate had marked him for despair.
Another failed and stepped aside
And saw the causes OF his woe
He saw u here efforts misapplied
Had aided chance to bring him low
And, taking note of all the past,
And turning into newer ways,
He tried again and filled ut last
The hopes OF all his eager days.

The History of IL.

When the rump democrats ap-
propriated the name of a great
party and announced that a pri-
mary would be held. it was in re-
sponse to the demands of a gang
OF lawless characters, that Bud
Ledbetter be defeated in the race
for city marshal. II Z. Ridenhour
was groomed for the race against
Ledbetter and preparations were
made TO carry the primaries, which
are not protected from fraud by
the election laws. II is known
that fifty hoaters were engaged for
the job, which was abandoned
when Ledbetter announced him
self as an independent candidate
The alliance which this clique
had made with the hoodlum ele-
ment to gain control of the town
so dIsgusted the majority of dem
Gratis that they refused to enter the
primaries, which deieriorated into
q frost.
The slate which had been fixed
was nominated, r. l.. Chamberlain,
VIM. Large and G. w. Franklin,
being used as victims to give a
"voice of the people" tone to the
affair, which was conceived and
consumated by three men.
The slate as fixed was com
posite. Names were placed on il
that are above reproach, but a
close study WILL disclose that it il
very rotten in spots, and a suf-
ficient number Of those who do
only what they are told to do. were
placed in nomination to assure the
bosses that there will would be
done.
In yielding TO the clamor OF the
lawlsss characters and planning TO
defeat Ledbeiter, the clique which
controls THE so.called democracy
had in view their own interest.
The hoodIum vote was necessary
to elect their ticket.
