LOCAL OPTION
FIGHT WACING
Caledonia People will Hold
Election Thursday.
A Close Fight is Looked for and
Three or Four Votes May De.
cide the Contest.

Caledonia is on the very eve of
another local option election, and
the temperance people and the sa-
loon element as well are putting in
effective work today. Tomorrow
morning the poles will open for the
second time for the purpose of again
detepmining whether or not the
citizens OF that village want 'dry"
or "wet' town.
ut looks as though It would be
mighty close. l believe two or
three votes will decide IT," said
prominent Caledonia citizen today.
The general concensus of opinion
seems to be that the ''wets' viii be
defeated this time, as ever since the
last election two years ago. the tenn
perance people have been putting up
q desperate fight.

WELD THE SHOVEL
OR PAY The Cash
Male Citizens Must Work
Out Road Taxes.
Two Days Work or Three in Cash
Must be Furnished in Either
the City or County.

Preparatory to enforcing the new
state law requiring every male
citizen between the ages of q and
80 years TO either pay 50 or serve
two days labor on the streets Of
the town and cities or the roads III
the country, the commissioners
Tuesday held long conference
with the township trustees, road
s,v2erintendents and street COM
missioners, at the court house.
The instructions handed out by
the commissioners are 10 the ef-
feet that every man not exempt I'M
den the law must either pay the
money or give two days labor.
Every man is to be notified by the
road superintendents or the street
commissioners but failure 30 rccrir
notification is no excuse for fail
me to comply with the law.
Old soldiers, members OF the
Ohio National guard fireman eth
cr paid on volunteers, and pension
ers of the government, are exempt
from the law.
The commissioners went over the
law fully with the minor officials
and instructed them in the various
departments of their work under
the new statptes.
1t is planned To- do large
amount of road work in all parts
OF the county this year, the big
increase in funds which will result
from the law making the increased
expenditures possible. The law was
passed by the last legislature to do
away with the old law requiring the
payment of poll tax. 1t is en-
pected that the rigid enforcement
OF the law, as planned. will meet
with general protest, especially in
the cities.

Life Insurance and Practical
Generosity.

For some time past, corporations
and great fiduciary institutions
all organizations controlling or hold
ing vast sums Of money--have been
the chief objects Of public atten-
ton. Honest men have welcomed
this manifestation of public interest
in the problems created by modern
methods OF conducting enormous
enterprises. Clear headed men real
izo at the same time that some Of
the institutions made prominent by
their far-reaching operations and in
innate relations with the public,
are conducted by men OF the highest
integrity and are performing a pub
lie service of incalculable value.
The Great Metropolitan Life In
sUrance Company, of New York, Is
coming more and more to be recog-
nized as an institution whose atti-
tude toward the public Is nearer to
that OF a generous philanthropist
than an oppressive capitalist. This
Company conducts the business of
Insurance In Il way that can be un-
.derstood by the ordinary citizen.
j! estimates in the light of universal
experience and expert knowledge the
actual cost of insurng a life under
given conditions, eXacts legitimate
premium based upon cost. writes a
policy as definite and clear as the
simplest business contract, and then
PAYS every dollar the beneficiary
expects or hopes to receive.
This, OF course, is simply main
tanning correct business principles
and should call for no more COM
mendation when practiced by a
great corporation than It would In
the case of an individual. The high
estimation in which the Metropol-
itan Life is held today, however,
cannot be attributed to the mere
TACT that II refrains from deceit and
meets its obligations; it is due TO
repeated acts which indicate that ii
regards its millions of policy holders
as entitled to share from time 10
time in It's own unantiripated profits
This unique view Of its obligations
II should be noted, is not the result
o. recent insurance agitation, but
has been held consistently for many
years. It has compelled the Com
pany to distribute among its policy
holders during the past twelve years
more than thirteen millions of dol
lars.
IL has been made known in the
latest published statements of THE
Metropolitan Life that all full life
policy holders in the Industrial De-
partment who reached the age of rs
In 1906, and al who reach that age
in 1906, and all who reach that age
continued for life without further
payment of premiums 1t Is furth-
er provided that any one holding a
full life Industrial policy which has
been in force fifteen years will at the
age of so receive the amount of
the policy in cash.
Perhaps no former act Of this
Company Is so significant as this
voluntary generosity toward aged
policy holders from whom 1t can ex-
pect no compensating relations in
the future. 1t Is stated that this
concession alone costs the Company
