Dear Sir:
Why did l join the County Mutual
Benefit Association? Well, l have a
family too inexperienced and helpless to
fight life's battles unas sisted should
die. am not able to pay the premiums
annually demanded of me by an old lire
life insurance company. This Asscc ci&.
tion of l 900 people in Union county sup
plies to me the exact cost of 81 900 lie
insurance, and when know l only have
to pay as another member dies, know
that no insurance company in tie wo-li
could exist by writing insurance cheaper
than that. When thing cost $40 and
] can get it for $40 do you suppose
would pay $50 or $50 for il?
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:
am believer in our Association
or would not have become member.
We have long needed sHch an organiza-
tion to protect our widows and orphans,
should we I've suddenly called lover thu
river" just as we needed our Mutual
Fire Association to protect ourselves
should our barns and homes be suddenly
burned. There is Of course the question
of cost to everything, and anything of
value has its legitimate cost, and know
life insura 1ce which causes me to pay
only when member dies, cannot be
made any cheaper. That would be q
business ab1urdity.

Dear Sir.
am well acquainted with the plans
of policies issued by the County Benefit
Association of America, and consider
the same practicable and feasible. The
highest testimonial can give your COM
paDy is to say that / was among the first
to receive policy issued by the Union
Division. 1 hope that you will SOON
reach 1000 members. The provision
contained in your bylaws not TO issue
a policy to person over thirty " ars Of
age after the first thousand Is reached is
a wise one and will keep down the death
rate, which after number of years runs
high in other companies.
Yours resDectfully,

THE COUNTY ELECTION.

An unofficial tabulated state
me Mt of the vote in Barton coun-
ty shows the election of all the
democratic candidates but those
for Sheriff and Register of Deeds
by maiorities ranging from 40
to ego. The contest between
Armstrong and Clark for county
printer, and between Younkin
and Newcombe for surveyor is so
close. that it will take the official
county to decide these Offices.
The chances are most favOra-
BILE forArmstrong and Newcombe
for the two offices: The same
trouble that generally occurs, by
reason of persons neglecting to
take off the figures before the
poll books are sealed up, pre-
vents us from giving the result
in all townships.
The county goes about 100 for
Craddock and Rose, but is pretty
near a stand-off between Mosley
and Brinkerhoff. In the three
counties Brinkerhoff wins by up
ward of 400 majority-a sur.
prise to even the republicans.
There was probably about %
per cent of a stay at home vote
and about 5 per cent of the to.
tai vote cast was thrown out as
detective. Then there was a
liberality, a "don t-care-ative
ness" on the part OF many voters

whom one would suppose had
posted themselves sufficiently
upon the issues this year before
us to see the Importance of
standing together for the gen.
eral good, that led them to be
Indifferent as to whether they
voted or not.
We believe that the county is
safely anti-republican on strict
ly party vote by upwards of.25O
majority, and had expected that
majority at least would be cast
for the tax reforms and other
Kansas questions which were at
issue.
Next week we will be prepared
to give the official returs.
