LIFE INSURANCE
Stupendous Figures Show Unprece-
dented Growth, Reaching 9 Billion.

Growth Of life insurance since the
war is one of the most astonishing
developments witnessed. The life in
surance companies wrote more than
$500 million dollars of life insurance
in 1919, sum Of so per cent greater
than ever before. In fact, there are
some companies that are considering
putting a check on increase Of bust
ness.
Life insurance, in one way, may be
said to be the greatest invention or
discovery of the 10Th century. 1t
has been of the greatest benefit to hu-
mainly. To the ordinary family per-
haps the sewing machine and life in
surance were the most benefcent of
the last century's additions to human
happiness.
When it is considered that CEN
fury ago and in all periods antecedent
to that, there was no such thing as
life insurance, except in very small
and uncertain way, the writing Of
nearly billions in this country alone
last year is amazing. Billions Of
money are paid back every year to
stricken families, protecting them
from want, while there was no such
provision until in very recent times.
There is plenty of misery in the world,
but without the provision of life in
surance it would be an intolerable
burden.
Possibly the war advertised life in
surance; in any case, there is such
demand for it as is breaking all rec
ords. The sum of life insurance writ
ten last years was greater than the to-
tai of American export trade. The
country is pretty thoroughly educat-
ed to the value of the protective and
investment character of life insurance.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away

Emmett women know how the aches
ard pains that often come when the
kidneys fail make life burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications OF weak kid
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. Ask your neighbor. They
attack kidney diseases By striking at
the cause. Here's proof Of their merit
in an Emmett woman's words:
Mrs. F. Douglas, says: Zone spring
l had terrible time with my back
and kidneys. There was dull, heavy
ache through the small Of my back,
and, mornings, was so stiff and lame,
l could hardly get up. My kidneys
acted irregularly and was all run
down. A relative gave me part Of .
box Of Doan's Kidney Pills and they
helped me SO much l got another box
at the Payette Valley Pharmacy.
Doan's completely cured me and /
have great faith in them"

MY Home in the Payette valley

l love the Payette valley,
And l love the Payette stream;
/ love her fields and orchards
When they look SO nice and green.
/ love to view all nature
AS / roam about at will,
But as pretty sight as | ever saw
l viewed from Freezeaut hill.
Just climb up some spring morning
And walk out to the brink,
And see the miles of orchards
Dressed up in white and pink;
The valley lying down below
So peaceful, calm and still
It's worth an effort any day,
That view from Freezeout hill.
i love to wander by the stream
And find some shady nook,
I love to sit and dream day dreams,
Along some babbling brook;
l love to camp out in the hills
And feel the mountain breeze,
But the dearest place on earth to me
Is my home among the trees.
1t is no gilded palace,
Just little humble lot,
With some trees a-growing around
For shade when it is hot;
Some flowers growing out in front,
Hops waving in the breeze,
But I'd have you know love reigns su-
preme
In my home amongst the trees.
For there my wife does meet me
When the daily toll is DER,
With smiling face she greets me
When / step up to the door.
She always bids me welcome,
And it's little things like these
That makes my home Heaven
Amongst those locust trees.
] love to sit on the rivers bank
When everything's so still;
/ love to see those big saw logs
Creep up into the mill;
/ love the town Of Emmett,
And think / always will;
SO when die just plant me
In the graveyard on the hill
