Date of the Conference.

The date of the Conference at the or ganization. was fixed for the first We'd nesday in November of each year. but last year it was not practicable to ob- serve 1t and the Conference was held October 29th and this year a change had to be made in order that the date might not conflict with that of the State Fed eration of Women's Clubs. thereby en- abling women to attend the Conference and the Federation. After deliberation by the Executive Committee D. A. R. and consultation with the regent and other officers of Peter Forney Chapter as well as other chapter regents and off, cers, the date of the Conference was set for Friday, November 6, 10 a. m
 The Federation will convene November 3 Sunday in Tuscaloosa. and 1t Is pre- stunned will adjourn Wednesday night or not later than Thursday a. m., this will enable D. A. R. delegates who attend the Federation also, to reach Montgomery in time for the opening of the Conference The date was arranged too to secure the attendance of some D. A. R. who had already provided to go the y. D. c. Con- vention in Charleston. s. C., which will conference. In the selection of Novem- Der 6, in the opinion of the executive committee, the best has been done, in view of all the circumstances, and we trust that 1t is the date that all Alabama D. "A. R. prefer and thec most convenient for every regent and delegate who are to be members of the Fifth Annual Confer enec of the D. A. R. of Alabama.

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

There is no business in which it is pos- sible for man to achieve such a financial success as in Life Assurance. In no oth-@ CT occupation can man, without any re- sources other than brains, energy and in- tegrity, secure SO great pecuniary reward for his labor. The possibilities of this business to an agent are limited only by his capacity and willingness to work.
