The Largest Insurance
Organization in Iowa
Splendid Business of the Bankers
Life Association-Its Strong
Financial Condition.

The twenty-ninth annual report OF the
Bankers Life Association of Des Moines
appears elsewhere in this paper. 1t shows
that steady growth which has characterize
its history from the earliest days.
The new insurance written exceeds $oSi
SEC, coo. That means an issue averaging
through the year. The issues for 1908 ex-
coed those of any one of the twenty-nine
years since its work began. The amount
of insurance now in force is 1857 ,6SS, GOO.
This enormous volume of business has
been obtained by methods of the most con-
sentative kind. 1t is largely the work OF
small agencies carried on by men who had
faith in its methods and management. They
have worked under no sort of pressure.
ave not been attracted TO it by high COM
missions or prizes, and owe their success
to hard and honest work and to the help
of its OWL members, who have ever been
ready to say a good word as the result
Of their own experience. Taken us a whole,
IL may safely be said that its members,
now numbering over 135,o00 men, scattered
over the northern portion of the United
States, constitute as fine a body of IN
surance risks as can anywhere be found.
The total resources at he date or the
last report were 81, 73S.715. rs. The figures
now stand at $lS,902.4li5l having increased
during the year by 81, 763, 69S. IS.
1t has on deposit with the Iowa insur-
ance department investments amounting to
SIC, S5S, 144 &c.. These are largely loans made
on Iowa farms-a form of investment which
has proven to be of the most satisfactory
kind under all circumstances. Several hun
dred thousand dollars of bonds issued by
Iowa counties, cities and school districts
are also carried.
Tue guarantee deposits made by MEM
bers now aggregate $6,672. 53S. They are
held as a forfeit to induce the prompt
payment Of calls made upon the members,
Upon the, aggregated of these funds are
based the amount of the calls each one is
asked to pay to provide funds for each
quarters loss
As the average amount of losses to be
paid amounts to a little more than $685., GOO
each quarter. it will be seen that the
pledge behind them Is over eleven times
the amount 1t secures.

Crowded with AUTOMOBILES.


The thoroughfare was crowded with
automobiles, zach with its gay party of
four and five. The restaurants were
crowded with a hilarious, joy-loving
throng.
Taken all in all, Saturday night was
one of the biggest nights this city ever
saw, and the future movements of the
South Broad Street Improvement Asso-
citation will be awaited with great in
~terest. They will hold their regular
monthly meeting tonight at $3.50 o'clock,
when Saturdays illumination will be
discussed in all it's phases, and plans
will be made for the future. It is most
probable that the illumination of South
Broad street will furnish a hint to the
merchants of other towns, a big boom
in the lighting of business streets all
over the country seems to be an in
evitable result, and Newark again takes
its place as the pioneer of a widespread
movement for the public good.

THE PASSING OF THE SEASON
BY sEID wADDELL.

AS result of footballs non-popu
larity with the masses, it has run ;
damaging gauntlet of opinions siuce i
has been so unceremoniously shoveleC
before the public eye by recent attrib
uted accidents. Harsh verdicts have
been deservingly landed by numerou!
agencies. inasmuch as the present
gloomy condition of affairs directly
connected with the sport has beer
brought about purely by neglect and
carelessness.
The kind of accidents which no one
is immune from are occasionally hap
pening in the game because it is game
that employs force and exertion, but
when injuries are continually being
sustained as at present it is usually a
safe bet that something decidedly wrong
is the matter.
Y There is one thing" says Mr.. Muir
ply, acknowledged to be the greatest
trainer in America, on which always
lay great Stress (And he undoubt-
eddy understands the game thoroughly,
having devoted his life to it for many
sslyears). / never allow man to play
football, or to engage in any other
sport, unless he is physically able to
do SO. If he is physically unable to
play the game, either through lack of
condition or injuries, he is hardly bet
Ter than no man at all, to say nothing
Of the risk he is running"
Facts bearing a special relation to
The matter reveal the fact that this
Statement has been amply proven in
the accidents of recent happening.
Ordinarily football is not as danger
Gus a sport as it seems to be to those
who have no time to throw away upon
it, and those who throw away time
upon it but are in an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Sufficient to convince an individual with

Last week the U. c. T. S. closed very

prosperous as they expected it to be

The present record is as follows:

The irregularity of the scoring a!
shown by these figures was brought
about by the fact Of the teams regular
men being continually non-present
Admirable work, however, was realized
from the team on duty in spite of the
odds that fate seemingly had against
them. AT Huntingdon and Greenfield
this was especially shown.
The team taken as a whole has had
many good men this year. Especially
has this characteristic been portrayed
in Honeycutt and Wilson, the former
at left-end and the latter at full Both
have raked off spectacular work in every
game, as can be vouched for at each
stopping place. The might that they
have contributed to the clan going out
OF business at present promises to form
the toughest portion of the backbone
of next seasons aggregation. Wilson
pushes himself up before the trough of
fame by his copyrighted fashion of line
ploughing. From observation at close
quarters he is undoubtedly afraid of
nothing that the gridiron is capable of
producing, and his bucking ability is
the despair of linemen.
The retiring team has also had many
other famous associates who will prob
ably come forward next season.

QUEER IDEA OF HOSPITALITY
Travellers in Arabia, Guests of Chief,
Systematically FIeeced of Every
thing of Value.

OF the curious ideas of hospitality
held by some of the natives of that
wild country lying between Bagdad
and Damascus two travellers, Capt.
Butler and Capt. Aylmer, tell in the
Geographical Magazine. 1--WE found
Feysul Ibn Rashid Ga minor ruler of
Arabia) sitting in a low room, the
roof of which was supported by wood
en- pillars. All round the sides of the
room were spread carpets, on which
sat his viziers and members OF his
court. He is a man of 33 years, with
a dark, pointed beard, good, regular
features, but eyes that are cold and
cruel, and he has a nervous, fdgety
manner, and was all the time arrang-
ing his abba Cloak and combing and
curling his mustache and beard and
admiring himself in a small, cheap
looking glass that hung just behind
him. Above his head on the wall
hung his silver-mounted walking stick
and a sword, the sheath of which
was also covered in silver He was
very richly dressed.
"On arrival at the house placed at
our disposal we congratulated our
selves on our good fortune in having
such a cordial welcome, but we were
speedily disillusioned. We had not been
there more than five minutes when
Feysuls head slave, richly dressed
parsonage called Dahm, came to tell
us that the emir would not take our
camels or our money. as he had
plenty of both, but that he would like
things of European make or of in
terest that we happened to have. This
was only too true, and, during our
five days stay there, there was con-
tinual professor Of slaves and hang
ers-on from the castle demanding
things for the emir and his viZierS
and favorites, and demanding them
in such way that it was impossible
for us to refuse. At last we had
practically nothing Of any value left,
having been feeced OF watches, revol-
vers, compasses, various clothes and
other articles of our kit
apart from this system of more
or less polite robbery, we were well
treated by the emir and had our food
sent US from the castle by him.
About three or four times a day we
had a royal command from him and
used to go up to the castle and drink
many cups of coffee and excellent
sweet tea with him and talk about his
country and Europe. He was always
very genial on these occasions and

all we had and turning us adrift to die

Rear Children Separately.

On a country estate not far from
one of our large cities family of six
children is being reared in a most
novel way 1t is the theory of the
parents that it is for the best in
terest of the children to bring them
up in pairs, and accordingly there arc
three governesses under whom, two
together, they study and play apart
from the other children, whom they
meet only once a week, on Saturday
afternoon, when they have a gen.
eraI playtime The children are all
girls, who, not knowing any other
form of bringing up, do not think
their own strange. One of the theories
of the parents is that by this method
the girls will develop greater in
dividuality and deeper interest in one
another than under the ordinary con.
ditions of a large family

Emerson's RELIGION.

There are as many Emersons as
there are readers Of Emerson. He
has something good and something
helpful for every one who dips into
him. The skeptic and the man OF
simple faith, the philosopher and the
man of the world, the soul that is
strong ana victorious and the soul
that is bowed down with the sense
of failure and trouble, all find in this
remarkable man that to please,
strengthen and comfort them. 1t is
pretty hard to say just what Emerson
teaches in any particular case, but
he is always healthy and always in
spring. OF religion, in the old dog
matte sense, he had none-but his
writings abound in cheerfulness, hope
and courage, if you want to call those
things religiOn.-New York American.
