PAYS DEATH CLAIM
WITHIN five DAYS
Joint Policy of Carl R. Williamson
and Wife Has Quick Settlement
by Agent E. M. Bennes

What joint policy means to family
at the sad time when death enters the
home was given an effective and practi-
cal illustration during the past week.
Some two years ago Carl r. Williamson
and his wife, living near Wales took out
a JOINT policy in the Pioneer life
insurance company, a state institution
with its head Office IN Fargo, Mr.. and
Mrs, Williamson took out their Joint
joint policy through E. M. Bennes, of
Wales, who is the company's special
agent for the northern part of the state.
Mrs. Williamson, as many of our reader
will recall died on Sept 18th, about two
weeks ago. Five days later, on Sept
18th, Special Agent Bennes delivered to
Mr.. Williamson the Pioneers check in
payment of the claim. The promptness
with which the settlement was made is
something which both speaks we'll for
the company and the care shown by Mr..
Bennes in looking after the interests of
those who entrust their business in this
line with him.

Little Facts and Fancies About
Well-known Atlantans.

Henry Clarke is a good policeman,
and when he mounts guard over the
traffic at Five Points he is a COM
handing figure. He took kindly to
the innovation Of whistles for the
traffic squad, because whistling is not
so firing on the nerves and body as
waving handkerchiefs, clubs or the
varied other things the coppers used
to have to direct the traffic with. But
1t Is probable that If he had heard
what little girl said about him and
his whistle the other day, he would
be willing TO go hack to the old
method. She was q youngster about
8 years old, and she leaned back
against the cushions of the Limousine
like a princess. Clarke halted the
machine with a tOot of his whistle
and then started it again with two
toots. Said the little girl: Mamma
