Several members of the sect known
as the holy Rollers who are SAID 10
be more or less numerous IN tne

Army overcoats worn by so many
young men during 1917-191S and 19lS
appear to have gone out of style en-
tirely. A man who has been living at
one of the local mills and who intends
leaving the state offered most of his
household and personal belongings at
auction on the courthouse lawn Mon
day. Most of the property sold readily
although none CT it brought anything
like its value. However when the army
oycrcoat was offered for sale not Il
single bid was offered, although the
auctionecr cried it Justify. The result
was that the owner had to carry 1t
with him.

Look Before You Leap!

WE HAVE USED the above express

quirCr during the past twcnty-thrcc
years scores of times, and very likely
YOU have read it, but failed to act, be-
cause YOU had the idea, as many have
who have never looked, that "All life
insurance companies are about the
same" NOW, HONESTLY, do you
think VIC would be 50 silly as TO claim
that the Mutual Benefit is in a class by
ITSELF, if we did not KNOW that it
was? 1t is fact that there are not less
than 200 companies in the United
States that would settle with your
beneficiary at your death strictly ac-
curdng to THEIR contract, but there
is not a single solitary one that guar
antces in it's contract (pOliCy) to treat
YOU as well and as literally while you
are living rs the Mutual Benciit.
The Mutual Benefit has a record COW
cring a period of II years that is as
white as snow.
Ii was organized in f345 by few
high class men for the sole purpose Of
furnishing the BEST there was in life
insurance at a minimum cost to its
members (po!icy ho'ders) and has al
ways done exactly that. Look Before

Candidates eventually will realize

scription now is worth more than four
times the votes it will be when the

son why you shouldn't t work there, too.
No candidate can get all the subscrip-

THE HuMsLs FRIENDSHIPS

When trouble comes and our skies
grow gray,
What we really need is the friendly
way ~
OF the kindly people who understand
And not the manners of people grand
The simple ways of the folks we
know.
With their gentle speech and the
words that flow
Right out of their hearts. mean more
Than style or fashion or pomp OF
fuss.
The ones who stick to US. thick or
thin.
Are the simple people who just drop
In.
The friends who love us and never
care.
That old and worn is the garb We
wear.
The friends who live as we live. and
know
The selfsame hurts and the self-same
woe,
Are the ones who comfort us through
and through
With the words they say and the
deeds they do.
Oh. 1 know we fancy it much worth
while
To win from the famous a fleeting
smile
Or passing nod. But In days Of
pain.
Then style and fashion and pomp are
vain.
The gentle folks we have known for
years
Are the ones who comfort and dry
our tears.
For it's simple speech and friendly
way
That We all must have when our
skies are gray.-Edgar A. Guest.
