lRrom the R,cevllle Recorder,

The death Of w. R. Mead, the vet.
eran editor of the PLAIN DEALER, at
C1esco, occurred Sunday morning,
January %, and the funeral was held
Tuesday. Mr.. Mead was the pionee,
editor Of this section Of Iowa. Fol
years he has made regular annual
visits to his large list Of subscribers
in Howard county, and perhaps no
man in the county enjoyed larger OF
warmer personal acquaintance and
friendship. This writer meyer had
the pleasure Of personally knowing
Editor Mead, but has felt acquainted
for several years through an exchange
OF papers. In his death Creseo and
Howard county has lost pioneer
citizen who was sincere and DEVOTED to
what he believed to be right. His pen
has recorded mnore IF the counyy,s his
tory than that of any other man, and
his writings will be missed by a large
number Of people. Mr.. Mead was
well along in years and had been in
poor health for some time. 70 the
mourning family the Recorder tenders
its sineerest sympathy.

Seaweed Is Valuable.

At last we seem to have found an ex-
cellent use for seaweed. A correspon-
dent owned a summer cottage by the
sea which, like the Biblican mansion,
was built upon sand. Before long the
doors began to sag and the whole
structure to lose it's balance on account
of the shifting of its foundation. 1t
was then that necessity, the mother of
invention, came to the rescue, and the
seaweed that was continually drifting
in with the tide was impressed into
service. This was scattered around the
house, a few loads of soil sprinkled
over it, and in few years what before
was nothing but barren sand hills be-
came a carpet of vivid green, the envy
of the neighboring jewellers. ALSO vege'
tables, flowers and even hedges made
their appearance in time, and the great
Transformation was complete. No
doubt many people who are situated In
the same position will welcome this in.

know that there can be no bargains
in a company that is straightforward
in it's methods.
My dear sir said l, any company
that will offer that kind of a PROPOSE
ton is a good company-to leave en-
tirely alone
"l!nshaken in his faith, he offered
to show me the policy which he
had just purchased, giving a 90-day
note as payment of che first premium.
Upon our arrival at his Office, he
spread before me large, imposing
contract. 1t was almost completely
covered with apparently sworn state
ments from state officials. as to the
sound financial standing of the COM
pany, and there was paragraph stat
ing that if anyone ever said the policy
was not all right, to see the agents,
and not some disinterested party.
''This suggestion was, in my opin-
ion, an evidence of weakness some
where.
eff this company is so sound and
strong asked, turning to the young
man. why is it necessary that such
clause should be inserted? 1t is moth
ing more nor less than a bolstering- up
proposition"
1T should be remembered that in
each and every policy issued by any
company, good or bad, is written:
This contract is issued In considera-
ton of the statements and agreements
in the application, hereby made a part
hereof etc. The application is, there
fore, as binding as the policy you hold,
but very few companies issue copy
of it to the purchaser.
Upon my inquiring for the applica-
ton, my friend informed me that he
had no such article. but he guessed he
did sign some sort of paper which the
agent explained was mere old line
legal reserve form, and really had
nothing to do with the policy itself.
II could find nothing unusual in
the contract, but it was plain to me
that there was a snake in the grass
somewhere, and was not long in max

that would like to look over this pa
per he wanted me to sign; whereupon,
I picked it up and placed it in my
pocket. Of course he objected strenu-
ously, but possession is nine-tenths of
the law, and I did not propose to lose
out at that stage of the game.
Il explained to MI. Agent that | was
in somewhat of hurry; that had al
ready lost much valuable time waiting
tor him, and if he would be so kind as
to excuse me, would call him up at
my first opportunity.
"The loan of 1915 against the policy
only was so arranged in the body of
the application that the purchaser
would have no suspicious, thinking
that the company as an old line cor-
poration, was surely free from fraud;
and the average applicant seldom
takes the precaution of reading the ap-
plication blank thoroughly.
Had l not been suspicious I, too,
would have been led into the trap, even
though had really intended taking
the policy.
"The loan note of 1915 embodied in
the application is accepted by the
company as the security necessary to
place with the state as the reserve on
seven; years insurance. So long as
the policy is kept in force, the loan
note against it is as good as the cash,
inasmuch as it carries five per cent.
compound interest.
''The face of the policy was payable
at death only. The loan against it
would continue to increase, and If the
insured lived 80 years after buying the
policy his family would find that, in
stead of the $4,000 cash, which the
husband and father: had depended en-
to take care of his loved ones, they
would receive only $1,000 less 1915
with five per cent. compound interest
for 80 years, or $4,212, leaving a bal
ance of only $7sS due the estate. ii
