from attendance upon the annual
state convention of the Iowa Associa-

Aside from a program of great value

insurance world were discussed by ex-

abundance of special entertainment.
One of the pleasant features of the

Lake Keokuk on the Steamer G.. w.
Hill. The men were so busy that a
session was held on board the boat.
They saw the big dam, the canal and

OskaloOsa agents were prominent in
the meeting and were shown special
attention. Members were given pref

beautiful gifts. We are tempted to
copy from the fly leaf of a lovely
bible. presented by the parents of the
groom.
I'm order to express and show forth
our love and affection for our son and
daughter, J. Maxwell and ALLEN P.

on this Goth day of June 1918, their
wedding day, this Holy Bible, the sec
ond best gift of God to man, and we
do sincerely hope that you will receive
this git, as coming to you from us,
through the same channel by which
! 1t was conveyed by its Author, God,
to last world the channel of love.
Oh, may these heavenly pages be
Your ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may you sec
And still increasing light
The groom was for several years in
the employee of Miss Maddy at the
Book Shop, where he made many
| friends who will wish him well in this
latest happiness.

Rock Island where they will be al
home to their friends at 1929 14a St
