HOW CLARK BUYS A BOND

He Lives

He Lives
Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-fve, Is man
ager of the elevator in the town CT
Salem. The position pays him good
salary, enabling him to support MS
family and lay aside about $500 per
year. Though he is now living COLI
fortably. he realizes that he must de-
wise some way of providing an in
come for his declining years.
His idea is to buy farm. During
a period of meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain
quarter section of land which is for
sale at SIS ,0O0, he is interviewed by a
representative Of the Old Line BanA-
ers Life Insurance Company of Lin
coin. Nebraska, who endeavors to in
terest Linn in life insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well
started, when he is interrupted by Mr.
Clark, who tells him Of his intention
to buy a fern. He states that he is
about to make a small payment On
the purchase price and will, II the
agent can offer anythins better, be an
interested listener.
WELL said the agent, suppose
you could buy farm worth $4,000 ~
paying the small sum of $175.25 an
nually, without interest, for twenty
years, the contract for same contain
ing clause specifying that, shoald
you die at any time, the party from
whom you buy the land will cancel
all deferred payments, ard give your
estate clear title; or II you live 10
the maturity of the contract, give you
not only the deed to the land, but pay
YOU as large a percentage of profit as
you could reasonably expect to make
from the property. Would you. buy a
farm on those terms?"
OF course Mr.. Clark was interested,
and since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with a de-
post of approved securities with The
state of Nebraska, he expressed a viii
ingness to become party to such al
agreement. 9

President TAX es Steps to Prevent Abuse
of Their Omcial Positions.
At the instance of numerous sena-
tors and representatives the president
has directed the civil service commits
sion to make an investigation with
view to relieving the free delivery
carriers of their political endeavors.
Recently it has developed that when
congress established the rural free de-
livery service it created one of the
most powerful political machines in
the United States with respect to its
possibilities, and in the recent election
it has been ascertained the rural free
delivery carriers filed certain con-
gressional districts with literature OPP
posing the reelection of certain mem
bers of congress, and especially those
who had opposed the bill introduced
at the last session providing for an in
crease in the salaries of the rural free
delivery carriers. Among others,
Representative Overstreet of Indiana
was opposed by the representatives of
the organization of rural carriers, so it
is declared, and it is deemed advisa-
BILE to frame some civil service regu-
lations to prevent the host of carriers
from taking any obnoxious part in
politics.

just developed, after his death and the
removal OF mis- testimony may make a
considerable difference in the trend of
the case. Coroner Smith has received
a letter from J. P. Laughlin, prosecut-
ing attorney of Usage county, VINO
says in his letter that Ready was one
of the star witnesses in the Scran onI
murder case and that his death re-
moved important testimony OF the
prosecution unless the court will ac-
cept the statements made by Ready at

the student of trade union history the
arguments and rantings Of Parry have
always had a familiar and musty

and exploded. The truth is that Brit

such attacks before the seventies. IT,
is worth noting, too that from every
one of these battles the unlons emerged.
