Accident Policy
Good Insurance
Public Begins to Understand and
Many Prefer it to Straight
Life Plan.

mo class of insurance has grown more
rapidly in recent years than accident in
surance, and there is practically no better
insurance offered the public" said Willard
II. Butts secretary and treasurer Of the
Western Travellers Accident association of
Omaha THE difference between accident
and ordinary life insurance Is so slight
that a great many people now carry
only accident insurance. 1t has the
advantage of indemnity during the
life of the policy holder as well as the
death benefit, Another benefit of accident
insurance is that 1t is written at less than
half the cost of old line or any other char
acter of life Insurance while offering the
same, If not a little better advantages to
the policy holder.
The Western Travellers Accident associa-
ton is an Omaha concern and has been
organized about eighteen years. There are
about fifteen other travellers accident com
panies in the country, but we have been
very we'll satisfied with the share of the
business that comes to us.
I'VE do not maintain any branch offices,
nor do we have a big army of agents to
whom we have to pay commissions. Our
best agents are our satisfied policy holders
and we are getting a good share of the
business. While we are ostensibly a
travelling mems accident insurance com
pany, we do not confine our risks wholly
to travelling men, but will take risks that
are no more hazardous than the vocation
of travelling men. Our company has been
a success from the start because we have
sought to operate it at minimum of cost
commensurate with the maximum of pro-
lection. There are many advantages in
accident insurance that those who are not
accident policy holders do not realize
Every man is liable to accident and with
the Introduction of the automobile the ac-
cident risk has materially increased, but
the cost of accident insurance has not in
creased nor is 1t likely that it will.
MANY OF the accident companies have in
cluded sick clauses in their policies, and
would not care to express any opinion for
or against these sick clauses. They have
been worked out by the ablest actuaries in
the country. Ours is strictly an accident
company, and we feel that in the term &c
cident we have pretty fairly covered the
field, for there are more kinds OF accidents
than there are Of sickness.
1T is just as essential that a person
should carry accident insurance as he
should carry life or fire insurance. A man
Is constantly exposed TO accident, and ac-
cidents generally come just at the time
person is not looking for them, They can
no more be averted than death
Hence the public Is awakening to the
Importance and necessity OF accident in
surance. Most Of the accident companies
are prospecting, know that our company
has prospered wonderfully in the eighteen
years of its existence. The last year has
been particularly good one with us and
thus far during 1910 we have written more
policies than ever before I'm the same period
OF time. We are looking for big year in

CHURCH RENOVATION PERILS

Attendant.

That the smallest things occasionally
change the course of ones whole life was
demonstrated a few days ago by a little
story told by Former State Senator Mitchell
b. Perkins OF Beverly, the treasurer OF the
Delaware River Transportation company
The senator said that he once knew
young man In town over In New Jersey
who was regarded as exceedingly pious and
was often pointed out by fond mothers as
an example for their sons. Every Sunday
evening he could be seen going to church,
and was also among the regular attendants
at the weekly meeting
This commendable custom was kept up
for several years, but suddenly the young
man ceased to attend divine services, and
greatly all OF his acquaintance maryeled.
Several conjectures were made as TO the
cause OF his strange move, but none OF
them seemed 10 ft the case. Finally he
was approached by an inqulsitive friend.
Jimmy" he remarked I'VE never see
you hustling for church on Sunday evening
any more. What's the natter"
Nothing" replied Jimmy, only when
they renovated the church they abolished

queried the wondering friend.

Institutions OF the state is the old-line

ital aud no surplus, IL entered the western
insurance field in competition with the
giants of the east. In times OF drouth its
officers watched the clouds as anXiously
as the farmer. in business depresslons and
panics their efforts we're prayerfuly di-
rected to the encouragement of agents
that their business might not grow less.
In 1850 the assets of the old-llne Bank

years later in 1910. it enters it's twenty

LoNESoMEs CRY FOR WIVES
Settlers in North western Canada and
Tasmania Send Out Call
for HELP.

The lonely cry Of bachelor farmers in
Canada's northwest has been heard by
the Womans guild of Montreal and ar
rangements have been made with two lines
of steamers plying between that port and
England for the passage of 1000 domestic
servants to be brought over this summer
The officers OF the guild announce that
applications have already been made for
the services of every one of these domestic
servants, and that the demand is so great
that they could place twice the number
already engaged. Most of these 1000 SER
wants will be sent to the provinces of Sas-
katchewan and Alberta. And as most Of
them are women, it is probable that they
will be quickly snapped up as wives by
the desperately lonely farmers of the
northwest Thus history will repeat itself
and the scenes enacted in Virginia and the
other colonies in the earlier days of the
settlement of this country will be re-en-
acted in western Canada.
A similar appeal for help comes from
Tasmania in western Australia, where
boys are plentiful and girls uncommonly
scarce and precious. A correspondent Of
the New York Sun tells about it:
There is no race suicide in Tasmania,
but there is a race famine My Anglo
Indian friend OF whom 1 wrote is living
example of this race struggle He has five
children, all grown up. The eldest, a
woman, is married and has three boys. The
eldest son has taken a wife, but he has
two boys and no girls. There are three
unmarried sons remaining and no wives
can be had.
Colonel Moore, the prime minister OF
Western Australia, who is now in London,
re-echoes the cry, Send us grls Our
farmers want wives he says in letter to
to a London paper.
consequently applications have been
pouring in to the offices of the Emigration
society, Is Victoria street. London, E. c.,
and 1t is said that a party OF picked women
will start before the end of May to the
number of at least 100, They will be taken
to Perth, the capital of Western Australia,
and then transshipped to Tasmania or any
part of the Australian world they may
select. The fare to Perth is only SIS and
there will be a matron in charge OF the
party.
"In the Hobart paper there is an amusing
incident recorded Three young dress
makers from the borders Of Wales had
formed sort of joint stock company with
view TO starting business at Hobart; but
they had been interviewed at Perth. and
when the ship entered port at Hobart three
successful young farmers, each owning his
farm free and clear stepped on board and
sought an introduction from the captain.
The result was that the three young ladies,
accompanied by the first officer of the
| ship and the stewardess, went to the near
est church of England and three knots
were tied Three fine rigs awaited the
happy couples and off they started amid a
shower Of rice and old slippers"

bition, 1t is believed, will prove one of

state in the number of patents granted
to residents. Some very valuable pat
ents have been issued to Texans and
there are over 5000 inventors in the
state.
The exhibition will show many mod

resent practically every art known to
man. There will be railroad switches
and joints. agricultural implements.
household articles and furniture. all

Putting It Up to the Farmer.

| The Christian Science Monitor has
entered the lists of those who are dis
cussing the food problem. crop short
age and high prices. OF recent
speech by James J. Hill II says:
Many nations that are importers of
foodstuffs are nevertheless prosperous.
Great Britain is notable example.
But Great Britain imports from neces-
sity. The lamentable phase of the
American position in this regard is
that there is no necessity for the fall
ing off in farm production. The de
cline in live stock and cereal produc-
ton is wholly without excuse. With
the Introduction of kaffir corn and al
falfa the Western and Southern stock
man is in many respects better
equipped for stock raising and stock
fattening than he was in the days of
the free range. He can now manage
his herds with greater system, with
more security, with fuller depend
ence upon feed and fodder. On the
other hand, as statistics show, this
country has had fourteen almost phe-
nomenally good crop years. If the
crops have not been larger, 1t is due
mainly TO the fact that the farms have
not been cultivated up to anything like
their capacity. The cause for this is
laid for the most part to lack of labor.
