local newspaper, but soon found out
that he was not much of writer. As
an advertising man he scored better
success and fairly made living.
Neither was he an actor, but he
dOated on such. Whenever show
came to town he had the free entree
from his newspaper connection and at

acquainted with the members of sew

INSURANCE BUSINESS PUT
ON CASH BASIS

The requirements of the companies
Of their agents to remit premiums
promptly and the increasing losses to
the agents from carrying accounts
has made it necessary to put the
insurance business on a cash basis.
On and after April LIST, 1916, all
policies issued will carry a clause aut-
omatically canceling the insurance on
the Goth of the month following the
month in which policy is issued I'M
less the premium is paid before that
date.
This arrangement will affect but
little the general public, who pay
for their insurance promptly and who
are disposed to realize the necessity
for the placing of all business. more
and more on a cash basis.
The general business public appreci.
ates through expensive experience the
necessity of requiring promptness in
all matters and. the agents believe
will lend their cooperation to any
movement in this direction. T.
