Tomorrow Is
Life Insurance Day
In National Thrift Week

II You are living for today only,
for yourself only, you are indeed
selfish! Life Insurance has assumed
such practical business proportions
that it is no longer the custom to
insure merely for death benefits.
Its evolution has now reached a
stage whereby the subscriber reaps
the benefit as we'll as ones heirs and
beneficiaries. This is the endow.
ment plan, becoming due at ma.
turity instead Of waiting until tho
death Of the subscriber.
However, some form Of Life In.
surance should be the rule in every
home. individuals, too, should pro.
vide along the same lines, for future
protection against the grim wolf"
az well as for decent burial and care
of ones family. This firm thinks
SO well of Life Insurance that il
insures each and every one of its
employees who remain the proba.

H. LARIMER NAMED
VIII Succeed Late HI. ". Nc
Afee as Co. Commissioner.
Deadlock Was Broken by Real
Ozark" Horse" Candidate.

The deadlock on the selection of a
third county commissioner TO take
the place of the late H. w. McAfee
was broken late this afternoon, when
Hugh Larimer, formerly sheriff of the
county, was chosen for the place.
Larimer retired as sheriff in Janu-
ary, 1921. He was selected as a
dark horse candidate by Boyd Pol
Iorn. and A. A. Rodgers, the two re-
naming commissioners, and Douglas
Graham, county clerk.
A deadlock in the selection of a new
county commissioner to succeed the
late Henry McAfee developed On the
first ballot at the court house this
morning
A A. Rodgers and Boyd PoIlorn, the
two remaining commissioners, and
Douglas Graham, county clerk, the
three men required by law to select
the new commissioner, each wanted
a different man on the board. The
result was a deadlock and the de-
termination which each of the trio
exhibited gave little hope for COM
promise at an early hour.
The commissioners and clerk went
into secret session about 10:45 o'clock.
At noon. after five ballots had been
taken, they adjourned to meet again
at 2 O'Clock. The results of the five
ballots, all of which were the same,
were announced as follows: Rodgers,
for J. K. Duncan, farmer living near
Wakarusa; Pollom. for Ralph .Searle,
president OF the Shawnee county farm
bureau and Graham, for Kenneth
Raub, former county clerk and now
a deputy in his office.

The determination each evinced f6f
his favorite led to the belief that a
compromise might be the only soIu-
ton of the problem. There were sew
eral dark horses and several candi-
dates mentioned for the job. Ed
Buckman was a candidate. Charles

gan. So had John Sutherin. Harry

of Wright and Fulton were not men

was entertained as the solution of the
deadlock problem.
