INCOME INSURANCE

TORE and more the matter Of
V income insurance is having the
consideration of men who want
to provide for their widows and chill
dren in some practical fashion. For
some time a number of the insurance
agencies of Harrisburg who are mem
bers of the Central Pennsylvania Asso-
ciation of Life Underwriters have been
calling attention in the advertising
columns of the Telegraph to the inn
portance of providing insurance that
will mean a regular income for the
beneficiaries. 1t has been demon
strated requently that income insur-
ance is infinitely better for those in
whose interest it is taken out than any
policy that would simply provide a
lump sum on the death of the husband
and father for those whom he leaves
behind.
1t is an interesting fact that many
of the most successful businessmen are
now adopting this form of insurance
as the best protection for their fami-
lies. Almost daily the newspapers
chronicle the experience of some un-
fortunate widow who has been made
the victim of worthless spectators and
promoters. These, taking advantage
of her ignorance of business matters,
have induced investment in stocks and
bonds and other property of no real
value.
The monthly income policies which
have been devised by most of the large
insurance concerns provide funds in
such a way as to assure steady sup
port, whereas the total of life policy
dropped into the hands of a widow
and her children is often dissipated
through unfortunate investments and
the designing schemes of those who
thus prey upon innocence.
Level-headed businessmen are fast
reaching the conclusion that in all
insurance provisions for those who
come after them the stated income
arrangement is more likely to be of
real benefit than any other plan that
has yet been devised. What is most
desirable is an adequate and perma-
nent income, which is generally re-
garded as better in every way than
cash at death, requiring investment
and business Judgment.

CARRANZA RECOGNIZED

TINE recognition of carranza as
the dominant force in Mexico
adds another chapter to the
Mexican muddle. Just how President
Wilson makes this latest surprising
action of his administration dove-tail
with his previous Mexican declarations
and decisions it is difficult to see.
Probably he does not mean to. There
has been small reason for any of the
blunders made up to this time.
Just why Carranza was chosen as
the leader best adapted to restore
peace and order in Mexico is not ex-
planned The administration declined
to recognize Huerta on constitutional
grounds. CarranZa is not nearly So
strongly entrenched as Huerta at that
time, yet he is given the powerful
backing of the American government,
despite the fact that he figuratively
spat in the Presidents face when the
American and the South American
representatives got together and asked

THE PURE FOOD SHOW

HARRISBURG is going to have a
pure food show next week. These
annual events are always inter-
esting and they are growingly instruc-
tive. The public is deeply interested
in the subject of pure food and house
wives are keenly alive to the beneficial
possibilities of such exhibitions as we
have enjoyed in this city for the past
three years.
There was a time when the con-
sumer paid small attention to quality.
Purity was almost unknown in the
provision producing industry. Adul-
teration was regarded as legitimate so
long as the customer made no COM
plaint. Now. however, conditions are
vastly changed. The producers and
the big selling agencies frown not only
upon adulterations, but they strive Tor
cleanliness as we'll. The purity crusade
has been followed by the sunlight
factory and the physical examination
of employees. So much is made of
these features of making and sales
that manufacturers spend large sums
yearly to bring the virtues of their
products to the attention of the people
whom they serve.
The food show brings the consumer
and the maker together and is profit
able to both.

COLUMBUS DAY
7 OOKING back from this Colum-

7 OOKING back from this Colum-
bus Day of 1915 the wonder is
not that Christopher Columbus
in 1892 dared the unknown seas in
search of strange lands TO the West
but that some one of the many adven-
turous mariners who thronged the
Mediterraneans and the adjacent wa
tiers in those days did not undertake
the grand voyage before the young
sailor and astronomer of Genoa turned
his attention to the task.
For years the air had been filled
with reports and rumors of land that
no man of Europe had seen. We
know now that some of the hardy
Norsemen had already traversed the
northern Atlantic to America. but that
fact had not then filtered down
through Europe to the southern sea-
ports. There was. however, the story
of a Portuguese pilot who cruising
somewhat west of Cape St. Vincent,
had picked up a piece of strange wood
wrought in a manner unknown to Eu-
ropean craftsmanship. and the tale
of a brother-in-law of this man who
had found. after wind that had
blown from the unknown quarter for
many days, a cane wineflask of curious
workmanship.
There was the story also from Flores
of two men of broad faces and diff
fering in aspect" from any of the
known races, cast up by the sea. The
logs and letters of many sailors were
filled with these fragments and hints
of a world the shores of which might
he those of Asia or of another conti-
nent. Never had adventure of such
magnitude been offered to the imagin-
alton of man. The vast unknown lay
like gateway to fame and enchanting
experience in case the theories held
by Columbus and some of his fellows
proved true, or to some strange and
liefs of less practical souls of the pc
riod were to turn out correct. 1t was
a fascinating prospect to the swash-
buckling adventures who thronged
Southern Europe those days.
But the widest dreams of the most
imaginative dreamer could not have
forecasted the tremendous results of
that first voyage of Columbus. Amer
lea with all its accomplishments, its
marvels of resource and invention.
with all its potentialities and posi-
bilities for the future, was the out
come. We do we'll to-day to pay tri-
butte to Christopher Columbus, dream
er and doer, exemplar of the spirit of
America of the past to-day and of
the future.

IT'S A CINCH
BY Wing Dinger

I wish that I were bank clerk,
Oh gee, but I'd stick to my work;
I'd plug. plug away
Every hour of the day
And no duty at any time shirk.
For of all the jobs that are fine
The job of the bank clerk for mine.
He gets through at four
Doesn't start in before
A few minutes just before nine.
Each date in the big almanac.
That's shaded in white and in black,
The bank clerk gets off
To go out and play golf.
While l to my work wander back.
To-day. as I walked about town,
At three banks this sign made me
frown:
Bank closed all day to-day.

letter. Police arrests on the first day
OF this week fell off; there were no
drunks in the streets and other un-
usual things were noticeable to even
the casual observer.
Now see what happened. Here in
the East the newspapers printed col
umns about the strange Sunday be-
havior of the famous Loop. And we
have no doubt that newspapers all
over the country followed the same
line of policy. The telegraph COM
panies must have reaped small for
tunes as a result of the incident.
So you see. it Is news when the law
is broken in a Pennsylvania town and
it is news when the law is enforced in
the second city OF the country. 1t is
all one to the newspapers. News is
news. no matter when. where or how
it happens.
