THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
A Home Institution With a Phenome-
nal Record of Growth and
Power.
ITS POLICIES ARE UNEXCELLED
And Its Place In the Hearts of West
ern People Assured-President
Robison's Interview.

Yes, Thanksgiving day will be especially
interesting to us this year remarked b.
II, Robson, the energetic president Of the
Bankers Reserve Life Association. 1--WE
have never enjoyed such a year Of growth
since our organization.
Our annual report to the state auditor
for the year will be a surprise to the in
surance department l am sure. Further
more, 1t will be a source of Just pride to
the management of our institution.
Our Advisory board, made up Of the
best men in the state of Nebraska, will
join with the field and Office force in a
pcan Of thanksgiving, for the gentlemen
included in that body have been vastly use
full to us in securing and holding our bus
mess.
1--WE have written over 50, 900, 900 OF new
business since January 1, 1902. We will
begin 1903 with approximately $1,000 900 at
risk upon the best selected lives in the
west, chiefly in Nebraska.
1--WE are as certain to have $40, OOO. 900 in
force at the end of 1903 as we are to have
twelve months in that year. If my life is
spared until 1910, I am sure to see this
company built up into a $50. 900, 900 organi-
cation.
THE assets have rapidly increased, our
death rate has been lower than that of any
American company. In fact, this Thanks
giving day finds us with our hearts full of
gratitude for the remarkable achievements
of our young company.
THE only problem which the manage
ment has to solve is that of securing com
petent solicitors. One hundred active. en-.
agents are wanted on extra liberal
terms for choice territory in states to be
organized with the opening Of the New
Year. Address

Small Fruits on the Farm.

Why do not farmers raise more small
fruits? No one who owns land can
offer reasonable excuse why he
should not raise small fruit. No one
family out of 20 on an average raises
enough small fruit to hardly have a
taste, while good many do not raise
any at all. A few rods ofground should
be set off for a small fruit garden and
planted to Strawberries gooseberries,
blacllcaps, blackberries, currants, etc.
These few rods of land, with few dol-
lars r2pclded in good, choice and we'll
selected varieties, would give the fam
lily Il s~l> ton of the most delicious
and heaIthiest of all food.-Green's

A SAD MlSNOME Err.
The Term "Old Maid" Is Almost Always
MiSapDlied,

lately heard an amusing new defni-
ton to the term "old maid" which
was held to apply. not to elderly spin
sters in general, but only to such as
had never had a chance Of changing
their condition; those who 'would not
when they could" or whose course of
true love has run rough receiving the
more respectful title of maiden
ladies'" The idea emanates from a
masculine brain, but the difficulty of
ascertaining which designation APP
which the superior male intellect has
not condescended to solve, says the
Ladies' Pictorial.
Are old maids under this definition
to be expected to wear some particular
form of cap, or have their hat cut in
a special fashion, or add the letters
80. NJ to their visiting cards? l am
convinced that there are very few
women indeed whose experience has
failed to include love affair Of some
kind and of these few only small
minority would acknowledge the fact.
A more correct idea of the term, it
seems to me. and one which takes away
its old-fashioned sting, is that it de-
scribcs certain type of woman ire
spective of her condition in life. The
prim. narrow-m minded person who fuses
over trihes, who would leave matters
of the most paramount duty or engross-
ing interest in order to put tidy a
drawer or sew on a button: who goes
all her life in fear of Mrs. Grundy, and
would leave any kind action undone,
or kind word unsaid, if it ran the
slightest risk of offending that poten-
tate, would be old-maidish in spite of
any number of matrimonial ventures;
while, on the other hand, there are
plenty of liberal-minded, youthful
hearted old misses to whom the epithet
is SO obviously unsui table that no one
thinks of applying it.

TEST OF CIVILIZATION,
Important Considerations Involved in the
Good Roads Question.


Good Roads Question.
Not simply comfort and convenience
in the daily intercourse of social life,
but economical considerations of vast
Importance are involved in the ques-
ton of improved roads throughout our
country. The most cursory study of
statistics showing the distance over
the average wagon roads of our coun-
try through which a load of wheat will
pay It's own transportation is con-
vincing object lesson to any man con-
corning the wealth producing, labor
saving, food cheapening effect of good
roads. A farm twelve miles from
railroad station in district with good
roads is worth more than one equally
good three miles removed from the
railroad where the roads are as bad as
they are in many farming districts
where the land is rich.
Civilization has been we'll defined as
the 'aggreate manifestation of the
mastery which mind has attained over
matter among a given people at a
given time This definition will bear
careful thought, and few physical
tests more Immediately indicate the
degree of civilization which COM
munity has reached than does the con"
dition of it's streets and roads.

MAY BUY THE LATIMER PLATS.
Commissioners Appoint Committee
to AppraiSe Original Surveys.

The District Commissioners have ap-
pointed Capt. II. c. Newcomer, Assistant
to the Engineer Commissioner; H. b.
LOCKER. the District Surveyor, and W. =.
Richards, Assistant Engineer, to examine
the plats and notes of William ]. Latimer,
and TO appraisc the same with view to
their purchase by the District. This col
lection of original surveys of land east
of the Anacostia River has been offered
to the District by Mr.. Latimer for S1J 900.
In recent report upon the question OF
purchasing these papers, the Surveyor
says that they bear the same relation
to the lands in the east end of the Dis
trict that the Brewer collection. pur-
chased last year by the District, do to
the lands in Georgetown. The Surveyor
states that he has made preliminary ex-
animation CT these papers, and that he
regards them of great value.
Mr.. LOCKER suggests that if the papers
are 10 be purchased, Mr. Latimer be re-
quested TO reduce his notes TO plats,
showing the reference points Of the sur
yeys. This work, he thinks. will occupy
about year, and then the collection
would be in the most available shape for
record and reference.
The appointment of the committee to
examine the papers and to report upon
their value was made at the suggestion of
the Surveyor.
