the AGENT DON'T kA0 N.
A Story of an Editor and Life IN
Surance Solicitor.

There are todaysome thousands
of varieties of life insurance
policies, each Of which has a
technical name and is capable
OF being made quite unintelligible
to the average man. Some UNI
scrupulous agents trade on this.
Many do not really understand
the meaning otter S themselves.
bat have learned their lesson
parrotlike, and most OF them
apparently find it unnS cessary to
describe in plain English to those
about to insure what they are
contracting for. The result is a
mass of INSTRUMENTATION and con-
fusi IN about the whole subject.
For instance, an agent was
trying to insure an editor on
some new plan. The editor had
a theory that any fact could be
put into plain, everyday English
if the man behind the fact really
knew what he was talking about.
After listinllng to an involved
flow of premiums" deferred
dividends" cash surrender val
ues" and optional choices he
said gravely:
'See here, | don't understand
what you're talking about. But
I'll tell you what l'lldo. If you'll
write that proposition out in
ordinary English SO that an
ordinary man can understand it
I'll not only take the policy, bat
I'll publish the explanation as
article and pay you a hundred
dollars fo- it."
will /? Sure. l will" exclaim-
ed the overioytd agent, thinking
he had indeed struck an easy
Job. And he departed, adiuring
the editor not to forget.
A week passed by. The agent
called up on the telephone to say
he was working on the thing.

nearly all the valuable territory
in the town will be taken away
from us.
After discussing the matters,
a motion was made to appoint
a CON nittee of FIVE to look into
the interests ofdividing the town
and also to lookainto the buying
Of the light and water plant.
The committee appointed was:
Messrs. John Radcliffe, n. \
Colnan, F. w. Mcintyre, 4. O..
Richison and Alex Higgins.
The above committee met 1T
the Town Hall last Sat lrd Y
afternoon, and requested As
senblynan Everett and Senator
Wright both of this destrict, to
keep then in touch as fully as
possible as to what was going
on at Madison in regard to the
dividing of the town and to
notify them of time of hear
ing as to the descriptions Of the
Lands they would want to .et
Of.
The buying Of the light and
water plant was set aside for
the time being.

Good Suggestion to Follosv.

The Merrill Star:
It's no secret that large mail
order houses of the great cities
annually draw millions ofdollars
worth of trade from the mailer
towns and the rural districts,
that rightfully belong to tie
merchants in those towns. And
what is wore, the patrons of
these houses pay greater prices
for poorer quality and pay cash.
The home merchant is supposed
to sell ON time if one desires the
accommodation. and await his
convenenienc for paying. If the
quality isn't exactly satisfactory
kick is rtgistt red, and the mer-
chant m st make good. With
the mai order house it is difficult,
you select from a catalogue, bny
without seeing, pay spot cash.
Wi h order, and take what they
send. There is no redress. Your
community receives no benefit
from these people, they pay no
taxes, thev have no interest in
your welfrae beyond the
amount they relieve you of.
Suppose these millions of dollars
were annually di> tributed among
the business men Of the towns,
the home merchants, d Mt YOU
think they would be able to
carry better stocks, n a tifthey
could rely upon tn trade of the
nome IeOple, WOuid they not
cater to the wants of all? They
certainly would.
Here is the remedy, AMI the
only one that is to band oar
