PIONEER LIFE
MADE BEST RECORD
THE INSURANCE ADVOCATE OF
NEW YORK SAYS THAT THE
PIONEER LIFE INSURANCE co.
OF FARGO MADE MOST FAVOR.
ABLE RECORD.

The old idea of the president Of a
life insurance company receiving a
larger salary than the president of
the United States is not true in the
case of the Pioneer Life, neither is
the president a useless igurehead as
is so prevalent in eastern companies.
AS a result this company has been
able to show a better record than any
other company in the United States.
Following is the statement of The
Insurance Advocate after scanning
the, records:
With the single exception of the
Pioneer Life of Fargo, N. D., the
Northern Assurance of Detroit. in the
matter of expenses, made the most
favorable record of all the companies
contemporaneously organized. This
is largely accounted for by the fact
that there are nc high priced and
useless officials. The president is the
most active man in the company's
service, and yet is content with a
moderate salary. He gets up at 5 in
the morning, is on the job all day. and
will take his first vacation this sum
mer." --.. d

regular church notices sent to The
Forum, many Of them will take in the
new members at one or both OF the
services of the day.
Beginning tomorrow the most of the
churches will hold their evening serv-
ice at 8 o'clock instead of 1880, the
evening hour during the winter.
The Sunda yschools, which during
the revival campaign have been held,
in those churches that joined in the
campaign, at 8 or $3.50 a, m. will again
be held at the noon hour or at the time
which the individual churches formerly
held them.
Many Bible classes have been or are
being organized throughout the city.
The district prayer meetings which
proved to be of so much help during
and preceding the meetings, will in
many instances be continued in district
Bible classes. In some instances these
classes will be held in the afternoon
and in other instances in the evening.

Messages from Beaver Falls, Pa, re-
ceived today, state that Sunday is be-
