RUNS FOURTEEN
PER CENT AHEAD
Of LAST YEAR

Summing up reasons for the in
crease of business which the Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance company is
enjoying in this territory f. b.
Schwentker. general agent, says:
In our business, conditions have
practically returned to a normal basis.
Our Southwest fagency, which in
cludes the states of Arizona, New
Mexico and western Texas. is writ
ing more new business than ever
before. For the first four months of
1922 we ran fourteen per cent ahead
of last year. Renewal premiums are
being paid promptly, and loans to
policy holders on their policies ars
rapidly decreasing; all of which
proves that conditions are fast get
ting better.
Another reason why our company
is popular is that the Pacific Mutual
is loaning a great deal of money in
Arizona, particularly in Phoenix and
in the Salt River valley. During the
last eighteen months our new loans
in Arizona aggregated more than
$700,00C Our real estate loans are
placed at seven per cent, which is
somewhat below the prevailing rate.
Justification for this is our desire to
loan on only the choicest and best
located securities.
"A great many people are under
the impression that they must pur-
chase life insurance in order to Sc
cure loan from the company. This
is not true, as we do not believe in
compulsory life insurance. An ap-
praisal fee of one per cent is usually
charged, but this is waived in the
case of Pacific Mutual policy holders,
old or new, who carry an adequate
amount of life insurance; $4,000 is
the smallest real estate loan we
handle"

THE FIRST TIME IT
4 EVER HAPPENED
Sad Story With A Moral For Fire
Prevention
Week

Fire occurred at 8:44 A. NJ. on the
18th day of September, 1922, at Cur
RE, Mimi, in which Mr.. Emil Boures,
aged IS, was fatally burned. He was
rushed to the Slayton Hospital, where
he died seven hours later.
Mr.. ,Boures was preparing break
fast. He had placed kindling wood
in the kitchen stove, and was in the
act of pouring kerosene over the wood
when the explosion occurred.
Mr.. Boures, while relating his story
to representative of the State Fire
Marshal's Office just before he died.
remarked that OH the previous day he
had bought one gallon of kerosene
from garage as he had in the past
number Of years. AS the night was
cool Mr.. Boures filled the stove with
coal in order to keep'a fire all night.
Some of the coal was still smoldering
in the stove in the morning.
Kerosene when poured over live
Goals forms a highly explosive gas
Mr.. Boures without thought of the
danger proceeded to kindle the fire
with kerosene. The explosion was
almost instantaneous and the stream
from the kerosene can was ignited
and the flame drawn up into the can
which also exploded, throwing the
burning kerosene over, Mr.. Boures'
clothing. -
"1've done this for years." remarked
Mr.. Boures, land it was the first time
it ever happened" ~
Mr.. Boures stated that his end was
near and he was ready to go, being
conscious to the time of his death
He died about an, hour after telling
his storysto the representative of the
State Fire Marshal's Office. A watch
and the container of the oil tell the
story. The watch stopped at S:44-2O,
due to the intense heat, and the can

IF you have special talents and

You may be in menial position

If you have that within you which

CHAPTER XIV.
Stuck in 4 Drift.

Outside the barn, in the snow-cov-
cred farmyard, Johnnie Green
mounted Twinkleheels, and rode him
beyond the gate where hs could
watch the fun up the road.
Yoked to a sort Of plough, Bright
and Broad, the oxen, tore through
the piled up snow and threw il to
either side in great ridges.
"I'm going ahead to the cross
roads," Johnnie Green told his father.
That plan pleased Twinklehccls.
he plunged out OF the broken road
and wallowcd in snow up TO his
neck. He was going TO show Bright
and Broad that he could get to the
crossroads before they did.
Don't do thatY Farmer Green
shouted to Johnnie. ..-
He was too late. The words were
scarcely out OF his mouth before
Twinklcheels was reaching dcspcr-
ately for a footing. His toes found
nothing firm beneath thcm--notling
but yielding snow. And his frantic
struggles only made him sink the

few minutes more he had
scrambled out Of the ditch and
gaiBed the road again, through the
path that Farmer Green made for
him.
Now" said Farmer Green, don't
leave the broken read. This pony's
too small to handle himself in these
drifts. | wouldn't try to put even
full-sized horse through them. It
takes oxen in such going. They're
slow; but they're strong and sure

So he rode Twinkleheels back and
hitched him in his stall once more.

asked.

They're getting on slowly up the
road. They take their time, Of

Couldn't they beat you to the

ChaMn Walks II
Shepherd Wins

The wildncss of Chaffin, Alma
High hurler, cost the local team its
game with Shepherd in the Central
Michigan league Friday, the pitcher
walking eleven men. Shepherd won
s TO 3.
Alma took big lead at the start
of the fray and apparently had the
games sewed up tight. -Four runs
came in the opening chapter and soon
after another run was added.
Chaffin was highly effective when
he could locate the plate, allowing
only three hits to the Isabella County
aggregation, but his wildness in per-
hitting eleven free trips to first,
coupled with few errors and mis-
takes in judgement allowed the
Shepherd team to count enough to
win. 1t was finally necessary to
shove Dicke, third sacker, into the
box, because Of the difficulties that
Chaffin continued got into. The lad
looked good, although he did not get
a chance to properly warm up before
taking up mound duty.
