CounttheCost

After all is said and done, what
people want in life insurance is
good insurance at The lowest cost.
A person who seeks this advisedly
will surely be led to the Union
Central Life, Their policies are
liberal. Their assets are invested
in the best securities that can be
had; dividends to policy holders
surpass those paid by any other
company and their premiums are
lower. You wouldn't pay one man
more for meat that you could buy
it for elsewhere. Why pay more
for your insurance?
Let me explain it to you.

Publishers PressJ

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 15.-Rather
than stand trial as to her sanity, Miss
Lisa Case, or "ASi l.. Esac," as she
calls herself, has left town. Miss
Case is the mysterious woman in
black" who has been trying for the
last five weeks to interview President
or Mrs. Roosevelt. Last Sunday she
created a scene at Christ Episcopal
church, but was prevented from reach
ing the president by ushers and Sc
cret service men.
Fearing that the woman would be-
come more violent the authorities
caused proceedings to be instituted
against her. The trial was to have
come up before Judge Jackson at Min
cola today, but as the county Jail will
now be spared the expense of caring
for her, the town officials are very
glad that she has shaken the dust of
the village from her feet.
