INSURANCE 4 NEW FIELD
No Insurance Companies Known 1876
Years Ago, Judge Freeman Says

No Insurance Companies Known 15G
Years Ago, Judge Freeman Says
In making the first address on the
program of the banquet of the insur-
ance men Friday night, Judes Free
man mentioned the fact that the insur-
ance business is comparatively a new
field of activity. zit'
"a hundred and fifty years ago.
no such things. as insurance COM
panies," said Judge Fireman.
You find in the Bible mention of
lawyers, farmers, fishermen, brokers'
but no mention of any insurance linen,
and there is no promise given to them
in Holy Writ
He introduced in another connection
a story of a minister who went to a
barber shop, many years ago, when the
price of a shave was commonly 10
cents, and had that operation per-
formed upon his facial area. On aris-
ing from the BARRIERS chair, Judge
Freeman said. tn minister found that
he did not have the necessary 10 cents.
Somewhat embarrassed, he in
formed the barber of his predica ment,
and said, "Y QUILL have to trust me, 1
find I have no money"
oh, that's all right, parson," the
barber said, according to Judge Free
man. -I'H just take it out in ser
mon.,'
sir" protested the minister. stand
ing on his dignity, II preach no ten
cent sermons"
well. well, never mind" said the
barber III come twice and hear two
sermons"
Detailing some of the alleged ex-
perienceS of his early legal career,
Judge Freeman stated that shortly
after he had opened his law office, and
while he was putting away on his
shelves his few law books, a gawky
Icountryman came in to consult him
on point of law. The Judge was new
to the state of Kansas, and was not
familiar with the laws of the state on
the matter in question.
Shall just give you the gist of the
law, or would you like to have me
read it to you direct from the statute
books ?" he asked the countryman. He
had just received a copy of the statutes
of the state. The country man voted
to have the full text Of the law read
to him.
Judge Freeman, turning to his brand
new copy of the statutes, glanced thru
the index and locating the point in
question, read it to his client, charged
him three dollars. and let him depart
in peace and satisfaction.
Immediately a friend in the office
reproacped the Judge for having
charge6the countryman three dollars.
You didn't know any more about
that law when he came in than he
did," the friend accused the new law
yer.
Maybe not" Judge Freeman
agreed. but I knew where to find it,
and he didn't
The same condition applies to every
day life. Judge Freeman told the in
surance men. There are men holding
down good jobs today. at better sal
aries than other men who know more
than they do. simply because they
knew where to find the good jobs"

VIII Eat Big Turkey Dinner
Ahead of Time.

Point Isabel, Texas, Nov. 13.-Al-
most impossible roads, made SO by
twenty-four hours of rain. left Senator
Warren G. Harding virtually stranded
on Point Isabel today.
Fishing was made impossible by
the heavy norther which has ragged
two days and the president-eleet had
planned to spend the day golfing in
Brownsville, but roads in this part of
Texas are unsurfaced and a slight rain
makes them exceedingly slippery and
miry in spots, and it was doubtful ear
ly this morning whether Harding
would venture the trip.
The road runs along a high en-
bankment close to the water for some
distance and careful driving is neces-
sary. One machine which followed
Senator Harding in from Brownsville
last night skidded off the road twice.
But whether Harding gets any out
door exercise today or not, he has the
prospect of a big turkey dinner. The
chamber of commerce at Guero
Texas. sent him a mammoth gobbler
! in a crate modelled in the form of a
miniature White House. Cuero is one
| of the largest turkey raising districts
| of the country.
Harding let it be known today that
! he will not enter territorial waters OF
any other country on his Panama trip

Preston McGoodwin. extended the
president-elect an invitation to visit
Venezuela and Colombia but Senator
