will find therein
making he biggest possNJ
in the Victory Liberty .
The tables were compiledN
insurance men to get reliable
rate averages. But in their prepafa~
ton very interesting facts were also
established bearing upon the earning
capacity and ultimate fortunes of the
subjects kept under observation.
1t should point a moral to every
young man to learn that in one hun
bred cases upon which are based
many important insurance figures, only
five of the subjects died possessed of
sufficient means to pay for their W
funerals.
When observation was begun, one
hundred men of good health and
standing, aged twenty-five years, were
selected. Their careers were follow
ed through life. At the age of 40
sixteen were dead, fifteen were no
longer self-supporting, ~sixty-five were
still able to work but had no other
means of support than their wages,
and only four were wealthy.
Think of it, Only four per cent
of these young men, who started in
the prime of life under the same cir
cumstances, in the same town, with
the same health and the same oppor-
tunities, reached the age of 40 with
means to enable them to face with
confidence the downhill path of de-
clining years.
At 80 years thirty were dependent
upon children, relatives or charity. At
60 only ten of them, including the
four wealthy men, were still self
supporting. And at 70, sixty-three of
the original 100 were dead without
leaving any estate and all of the
others, excepting the few possessing
wealth, were supported by their chill
dren, their relatives or by charity.
These are no imaginary instances,
but hard, matter-of-fact illustrations
upon which the biggest insurance com
panies of the country stake their re-
sources.
There is a wonderful sermon to
young men in this little story. 1t is
taken from the Book of Life and it
breaches Thrift. Unless the habit of
saving is acquired in youth the pros
poets of reaching old age with a COM
petence are very poor.
No better means of saving is offered
TO the young men of the country than
that presented by the Victory Liberty
Loan. You can share in the loan on
the easiest terms imaginable. In buying
you will be taking the first step
toward providing for your old age.
Perhaps it may be the foundation of
a fortune.
Take heed of the unfortunate ex-
periences of others. The law of av-
erages never goes wrong. 1t has point
ed an infallible moral in the ease OF
the one hundred young men of In
surance study and observation.

they did. Subscribe to the LoanI

MRS. MATT RANSOM.

The Charlotte Observer pays
the following. tribute to the late
Mrs. Matt. W. Ransom, whose
death occurred in Hickory Thurs.
day Of last week.
Mrs. Martha Exum Ransom
was a woman whose life was as.
sociated with some OF the most
stirring historical events OF the
country. She was married to
Matt W. Ransom eight years be.
fore the outbreak: OF the Civil
War and saw her husband enter
upon a career which was to write
his name among the notable gen.
erals of the Confederate Army.
She was later to feel pride in his
public career at Washington,
where he was sent during Recon.
struction days to represent bis
State in the Uuited States Sen.
ate, aud where he made o brill.
liant record OF "a years service.
Later she. accompanied Senator
Ransom to Mexico, where he ser.
we'd TWO years as Minister. Thru
these experiences she became ia,
,niliar with court life, and being
endowed with q keen intellect
and u fine store OF native wit,
she improved her opportunities
for obtaining intimate knowl.
edge Of the public men and wo'
men OF her time. Her mind vas d
well.spring of historical incident,
and possessing the gilt OF an en-.
tertalnlng narrator, sne ever
proved a most delightful conver.
sationalist. 1t was the privilege
Of many public men of the State
and seekers alter historical facts
to make pilgrimages to the home
Of Mrs. Ransom, aud they were
invariably given profitable ;and
instructive entertainment. Hel
memory was undimmed by th,
encroachment OF age, and to the
last OF her SO years she could dis
cuss the social and historical in
cidents with the utmost clear
ness OF expression. She was the
,ersonitication OF gentleness and
refinement, and she may truly ht
written into history as one Of tht
great women OF the state.
