Say, Taylor Tinsley and were on the same ship. didn't expect to see him. Sis, England sure is some place. Everything is as high as cats back, and more than that there are number of things we can't buy at all. Apples cost ter cents each and they are very small ones at that, and we can hardly buy cigarettes and tobacco at all. It is g sight the way the people are rated or their rations. They just barely get enough food to live on, being allowed only fouteen ounces per week to each person. Listen, we can hardly buy

 I want to thank you for being so prompt in paying the claim of $2,000 on the life of my brother, Walter L. Ussery. My brother took out a '$2,000 policy with you in June of this year and died along the early part of November. Proof papers were mail- ed in November 17th 1918 and l re- ceived check November 26th, 1918. My brother held policy with two other companies but your company was the first to pay the claim. want to state that I am proud to be one of your policy holders. I thought so much of the policy that l secured from you that I got each one of my brothers to take out policy with you. l am a great believer in life insurance but consider the policies issued by your company, the lief ferson Standard Life are the most attractive that I ever saw. l take pleasure in recommending you and your company to any one who wants to secure life inurance.
 Yours very truly, 877d1t 34w1 GUY USSERY.

Union Revival Meetings.

Last night the Tulane theatre was
filled with the grade school boys and
girls who attended the revival serv-
ices with their parents. 1t was one
of the most largely attended and in
teresting meetings of the whole cam
paign. The beautiful American flag
was awarded to the room of Miss
June Langdell, who had the largest
delegation present. 1t brought tears
to many eyes, as the school children
sang America" The High School
Guartette saLg in pleasing manner
and Miss ,luriel holland sang the So
lu of the evening. The speaker Of
the evening was Rev. I. E. Stevenson,
who preached an illustrated sermon,
using fifteen candles to represent fif-
teen different ages and how much
there is left of life to be useful. Upon
the invitation, about thirty young peo-
pie came forward, confessing Christ
1t was great meeting. Sunday night
is looked forward to with anticipation
Tie meetings will continue through
next week, which will doubtless be the
last week.

SHOT LINOTYPE
OPERATORS NOSE

Last night, Samuel Ballestro, lin
otype operator, employed in La Van
guardia, across the line, was playing
game of pool in First street place
with friend, when another friend of
his, Edward Navarro, came in and
was fooling with .22-calibre revolv-
er, says the CaleXico Chronicle.
He pointed it at Ballestro and
pulled the trigger. The bullet passed
through Ballestro's nose, inflicting a
painful wound, although no a serious
one.
Navarro was locked up, but this
mornin gthe injured man said he was
satisfied that was only an accident,
done in fun, and refused to file a
complaint, although Navarro is being
held for carrying and displaying a
revolver.

QUITS
PULPIT FOR DESK

At the annual congregational met
ing held at the Imperial Presbyterian
church Wednesday night, Rev =. u.
Adams was granted a leave of absence
to last several months, and a, COM
mittee was appointed to arrange for
the securing of man to supply the
pulpit while he is away.
Mr.. Adams explained to the con-
gregation that the Industrial Accident
Commission had created rehabillta-
tion department in connection with its
work and that in view of the fact that
he had at various times represented
the state in the gathering of statistics
from injured men, he had been chosen
for the head of the new department,
with the promise that if the present
head of the Industrial Accident Com
mission should be called into military
service. which seems likely, he would
be asked to fill THAT office. He is eX-
pecting a telegram from San Fran
cisco most any day with instructions
to report.
