HOW CLARK BUYS A BOND
Which Guarantees His Family an Es-
tate. II He Dies. and Himself
Home, II He Lives.

Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-five, is man
ager of the elevator In the town Of Sa-
lem. The position pays him good
salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about $500 per
year. Though he is now living COM
fortably, he realizes that he must de-
wise some way Of providing an income
for his declining years.
His idea Is to buy farm. During
a period of meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain quar-
ter section of land which Is for sale at
So 900. he is interviewed by represen-
tatiye Of the Old Line Bankers Life In
surance company of Lincoln. Nebraska.
Rho endeavors to interest him In Life
Insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well start
I'd, when he 10 interrupted by Mr.. Clark
who tells him OF his intention to buy
! farm. He states that he is about to
make small payment on the purchase
5rice and will, II the agent can offer
anything better be an interested
listener.
We'll" said the agent, suppose you
guy a farm worth 81, 900 by paying the
saall sum of $175.25 annually without
interest, for twenty years, the con-
tract for same containing clause spe-
eifying that, should you die at any
tlrae. the party from whom you buy
she land will cancel all deferred pay
ments, ard give your estate cleai
title; or if you live to the maturity OF
he contract, give you not only the deed
to the land, but pay you as large . per-
eertage OF profit AZ you could reason
ably expect to make from the property.
World you buy a farm on those
ternls?"
or course Mr. Clark was interested,
ard since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with de-
eosit of approved securities with the
State OF Nebraska, he expressed will
ingness to become party to such an
agreement.
"Well," continued the agent, III You
win pay annually to the Old Line Bank
ers Life Insurance Company of Ne
braska the sum Of $175.25 they will, II
you die at any time, pay to whom you
may name the sum of $1,000. II you
live twenty years, they will give you q
cash settlement consisting of the guar
anteed reserve and an estimated sur
plus. amounting to $5,49125. You will
readily see that you receive $1,9S6.25
more than you pay in. which is better
than four per cent compound interest.
Then, too, having the assurance that,
should you die you would leave COM

insurance, and what Mr.. Clark did you
can do.
Permit our agent to explain con-
tract to you. II you do not own all

Old Sol made Savannahians sizzle In

more than a lap to reach the century

1t was a genuine summer day, but
Savannahians and strangers should feel
some consolation in the fact that 1t was
hotter in other places.

scheme originated in the desire that
the monument should not only fitting
" represent the Empire State Of the

gift of the people Of the. state, from
whatever section. The idea has al
ready met with much favor and has
been vigorously taken up by Atlanta,

been appointed to carry the affair to
a successful conclusion.

was presented at their last confer

savannah, through it's historic asso-

which the entertainment will be given,
and will, without doubt, take an act
I've part in making it a success. The
projected ball could be made a de-
lightful feature of the winter season
and needs only little clever engineer
ing to ensure popular favor. 1t is, of
course, to be a Colonial ball in the
real sense of the word, with patch and
powder, periwigs and brocades, to re-
call the picturesque days of a bygone
century. To the Colonial Danes and
the Daughters of the Revolution will
belong the task of arranging the de-
tails. and, while it will be an arduous
one, there seems little doubt that the
result, from the standpoint Of pleasure
