MEN, money and binding Irvine would
contribute largely to the happiness Of
the Kansas and Nebraska farmers. This
may seem like considerable to ask,
nevertheless the western farmers have
ample security to back up their demands.
The crops are enormous and IL is simply
a question OF getting the material with
which to handle them. Kansas and Ne
braska have sent out calls for something
like sixty thousand field laborers and as
over two million pounds OF binding
Irvine were washed down into the Gulf
by the recent floods there is serious
shortage in that necessary article. AL.
though western banks are in good
financial condition, the crops are 30 big
that they will not be able to meet the
demand for moving them. Until these
questions are solved there will be little

A UNIQUE INSTITUTION

Among the most equitable propositions
In life insurance we wish to make espe-
cial mention Of that of cred by the Amer.
lean Equity Association of Owosso. In
this organization its members are asked
to pay their greatest premiums during
the earlier half of their lives, gradually
decreasing in cost with age and ceasing
entirely at the age of seventy years;
after which each member can draw one
tenth of his insurance each year for a
period Of ten years.
single thought on the diminishing
premiums brings one TO the conclu sion
that such a plan closely corresponds 10
the peoples decreasing earning capacity
as they approach old age as statistics
show that over 80 per cent. of our popu-
lation earn their greatest incomes when
they are young.
The rates Of the American Equity As.
ISOLATION are founded upon the actual
mortuary cost of twenty Of the oldest
old line companies and cannot be
changed without the sanction of ma
jority of all the members voting direct.
Representatives OF this popular pro-
position are now in the city and will
explain its plan in courteous and bust.
ness-like manner to all interested parties,
ladies or gentlemen.
