KINDNESS

The other evening a young Brush
boy took his bulldog in his machine
when he took his best girl out driv-
ing. And as he drove up to her house
out jumped his dog and clinched with
the dog of the man who lived next
door to her home. Then the fight be-
gan and it lasted long and was hard.
But finally the two dogs were parted
and the girl stood fearfully waiting
the "bawling out" she was sure her
crusty neighbor would give her best
beau. But he did nothing of the sort.
He kicked his own dog back into the
house and talked affably to the boy.
The boy too, was surprised. He
voiced his wonder well, you GER
tainly are good scout" he began.
"Most men would have been mad over
my dog fighting yours"

good neighbor," and the girl began
to feel more kindly toward him than
she had ever felt before. But. the

The Brown & Embree United Shows
have been engaged to furnish the fea-

They are bringing to Gunnison, new

the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel;
will be seen for the first time the

ever, is the Silo-drome, where intrep-

perpendicular walls OF an edifice sim

Cyclone Craver takes his life in his
own hands, flirting with death as he
rides without hold of the handle bars

LIFE INSURANCE FIGURES

In the Pacific Echo, official organ
of the Women of Woodcraft, appears
communication which we think is
the ablest exposition of the insurance
question we have observed in long
time. 1t very clearly shows how the
life insurance octopus absorbs mill
lions from the earnings of the peo-
pie. To its careful perusal we invite
the attention of our readers:
Los Angeles, CAL, May 81, 1921.
Dear Grand Guardians: Some DAYS
ago representative of an "old line
life insurance company, the Metro
politan, visited my home to solicit
business but l was absent at the time.
He inquired as to whether / carried
any insurance or not, and, on being
informed that / did-over $1,000, all
fraternal, he calmly informed my
wife that my money was as good as
wasted, as the Woodmen, Neighbors
of Woodcraft and other orders to
which belonged would soon have to
go out of business bee ause of their
unsound methods, and that had bet
ter insure with him while could. He
promised to call later to see me per
sonally, but was advised not to as ]

and that he probably would get the
worst of the argument
He called however, and the first
thing l told him was that i never
bought goods of "knocker;" that il
he could not sell his goods on their
merits that they were not worth buy.

that he had made a mistake in at.

he said, Eyes, but you are insured all
those twenty years"
well, now Mr. Agent" I answered
take your pencil and let us figure il
out. Your company probably receives
per cent or 6 per cent annually on
it's invested money, but, to break
even we will call it per cent. Now
| S54.28 invested annually at per
cent, compounded annually, will, in
twenty years, amount to, S162207

me my $1,000 and you have S622.07,
or s31.10 annually for my insurance
which is now ended, and l am now
too old to secure more except at an
exorbitant rate"
He acknowledged the correctness OF
my figures but said that it was cheap
insurance. On the contrary, it was
far too high for Limited" time and
on a good risk.
Now, Mr.. Agent" I said, I'VE will
take the other angle of the question

me for SO cents per month per $1,000
