WHY YOU SHOULD INSURE in

BECAUSE it issues participating
policies with premiums practically as
low as those for non-participating poll
cies of other companies, which means
that you save as much from the very

amounts to.
In addition to the above, the poll
cies, after the third year, will share
in any surplus earned by them.
.. BECAUSE it issues policies clear
and concise in their wording and not
two-fold in meaning: liberal in their

ing many other attractive features in
the interest of policyholders.
3. BECAUSE it deals honestly and
promptly with its policyholders as

The Cordelc Hardware Company is
one Of the most striking evidences Of
the business strength of the communi-
ty. This enterprise was launched il
1905 by T.. l.. Bartholomew and T.. l..
Marbury. 1t has moved steadily to
the front and has become q leading
hardware business in this city. 1t is
easily one of the best hardware stores
in south Georgia The stock carried
now means an investment of a very
large capital, for there is hardly an
item known to the hardware trade
which is not included among the
thousands of articles of merchandise
in this store.
The interests Of +. L. MaCbrry were
sold to the business in 1912 and i. L.
Bartholomew is now sole owner. Con
3istcnt business method, fair Gail;nG
and high standard Of goods has
brought this enterprise 20 tho point
where it turns hundreds OF thousands

tory and reaches into other sections

Mrs. Jasper Writer, another very
wealthy Denver society woman, said:
81 think the union will not be able to
solve the servant problem but If 1t can
/ will be for the union. Mistresses and
servants should each try to be just to
the other, and perhaps the mistresses
should oftener consider the servants side
of the case.
Mrs. H. A. Winter, president OF the
Mothers Congress, said:
81 do not think the union will be the
best thing to solve the difficulties be-
tween mistresses and servants. The
different conditions existing in homes
make it too difficult to establish any
iron-clad rules Of conduct or even pay.

mstresses and maids. l think the union
will have the effect of making many girls
too independent
The charter members of the House
maids Union are confident of the success
of their plans, however. They have es-
tablished headquarters in one Of the
business blocks, and in few weeks plan
to open a Housemaids' Home, where
members out of work or between jobs,
can stay. Its hackers are a group Of
girls and women who would dignity
domestic labor by rewarding it with good
pay and leisure for cultivation and enjoy

ing work, poor pay and inhuman treat
ment did not murder the kings English
when they got up to speak. They stated
their wants in a Straightforward, intelli-
gent manner. Their clothing was not

smart, but their faces were the faces OF
intelligent, determined American women.
The members declare that they will de-
mand references from mistresses as soon
as their organization is strong enough.
The kind of sabotage used will be for
domestic workers to quit without notice,
at the most opportune times; serving
meals late, and general contraryiness,
wearing on the nerves of mistresses until
the employer is trained"
A long train of maids, who leave once
a week, take no back-talk and demand
the privileges they have long asked for
in vain, is part OF the programme expect
ed to bring about the desired results.
There will also be a secret blacklist
on which the peccadilloes of harsh,
niggardly and nasty-tempered mistresses
will be recorded.
Finally, the mistresses are perfectly
free to order cold storage eggs-for their
own consumption.
