 They say a play without love story is uninteresting. "The Fight ing Parson" has not broken the rule, for through the entire production a beautiful love story is told. Good substantial love of the lasting kind. This with its pathos and comedy has made "The Fighting Parson' one of the seasons successes and everywhere it has been produced met with in- stantaneous success from both an ar tistic as we'll as financial standpoint. The ministry recommend it because it teaches a moral lesson of right and wrong, yet does not offend the sensi tive, but sends one home with a feel ing of contentment for having seen it.

 The New York legislative commit tee. with Armstrong as chairman, ap- pointed to investigate life insurance companies, sisted by lawyer Hughes. now present governor of New York, did their work we'll about four years ago, when their recommendations were inacted into laws that caused a perfect upheaval in the methods of doing life insurance business and treatment of policyholders.
 Very many charges were made and reforms were begun which have put all companies doing business under those laws upon safer, sounder and more economical business basis than ever before. Five companies have been found to be perfect insofar as treatment to policyholders and giving them the cheapest insurance to be had. Since the organization of those com panies over fifty years ago their eX- penses have been low and dividends distributed annually have been large.
 The Armstrong committee found not one thing wrong about these five companies, and when they were called upon to comply with the drastic law of New York, enacted about four years ago, these companies had no changes to make, but continued in their economical, honest, fair meth ods which made them policyholder companies.
 It is passing strange to me that you, Mir Business Man, Farmer, Profes- sonal Man will treat this matter of insurance slightly, when you agree to pay out many thousands of dollars in yearly payments and not care to have your insurance in one of the five best. The names of these companies at the time were published in the leading eastern dailies and magazines.
 The average man will not apply the same common sense and business judgment in the selection of con- pany in which he insures as he does to the successful business he built, but will say: "Oh, 1 guess they are all alike. l gave my insurance to my friend Tom or John." When the com pany he has been placed in has not even complied with the requirements of the New York laws that mean so much to the policyholder. Out of over two hundred and fifty companies probably one-eghth of them have com piled with the New York laws. 1 am pleased to tell you the old Massachu setts Mutual Life Insurance Company is one of the fve above referred to, and the only one doing business in Ar kansas to my knowledge.
 Three of the five are Massachusetts life companies, which evidently shows the strict laws of the old common wealth had something to do with these companies having been run in the in- terest of policyholders.
