INSURES LIFE FOR 3 MILLION

A man unknown to the public stands today third among business men whose lives are insured for mil lions.
 The newcomer is James C. Penney of White Plains, chairman Of the J. C. Penney corporation which operates a chain of clothing stores in twenty nine states. His life insurance totals 8 million dollars, of which 11a mil lion dollars was taken out recently in single policy.
 Ahead of him are Rodman Wana- maker, with policies aggregating AZ million dollars and Pierre DuPont, who carries insurance of 1 million dollars. John WanamaEer, who died the other day, carried 8 million doI- lars of life insurance.
 Penney's yearly premium on the 3 million dollar policies will approyi- mate Sl20,O0O. More than twenty companies divide the risk.
 Penney leaned the clothing busi- ness in Hamilton, Mo, where he vas born in 1875, and his first salary was %25 year, raised to S20O the year following. He failed iii trying to es- tab'jsh @ Butcher shop in Denver and when 27, with $500 in his pocket, he opened the first Golden Rule" cloth- ing store at Kcmmerer, Wyo. The business grew until Penney needed the help of clerk and he engaged E.. c. Sans, now president Of the Penney corporation.
 As he prospered Penney helped his clerks to become part owners of the stores when they displayed ability, until today the Penney corporation is not sole owner Of Q single store, act ing chiefly as buying agent for the system.-From the New York World.

The southern Californian may think himself an adept at making seductive pictures of his end of the state, but he can still learn from the Honolulan out in the north Pacific. Down there they say a drummer from San Fran cisco sojourned for month, and when they took him to the homewardbound steamer and put leis around his neck and sang "Aloha Oi' to him q few times, he cried like a baby and said he had forgotten his wife's first name.

COMMANDER OWSLEY
 URGES PREP PAREDNESS

Asserting that thousands of soldiers went into the front line trenches un- able to shoot the rifles they were car rying, Alvin OWsley, national com mander of the American Legion, made q plea for preparedness to eliminate 9 similar situation in the next war, at 9 national gathering of Legion state adiutants at Indianapolis.
 Mr. Owsley urged the retaining of a sufficient army and navy so that it would not be necessary to rely upon other nations while the United States is training it's armed forces in any fu- ture conflicts.
 G. L. Folbre, of Dallas, adiutant of the Texas department, also drew the attention of the Legion men to the fact that Wtrained troops were sent to the front line during the world war.
 "Whilo serving at the front with Che 32nd division, ] transferred men to replacement troops and saw them go into the front line trenches and shoJ down when they could have pro- tcGtcd themselves had they been train cd even in the use of rifles," Mr. Fol brc said Many Of these men had been drafted into service between six weeks and two months before they were rushed into action"
 The views of the Texas Legion of- fici&l were supported by Austin A. Pe- terson, Wisconsin adjutant, who urged the adjut2nts to realize the serious ness of the preparedness situation at this time, particularly in view of the cycr-incYeasing danger of the Turkish and Near East question:"
 Other Legion speakers urged the adjutants to encourage voluntary en- ljstment in the army in their states and to advocate military training on a larger scale in the high schools, col leges, universities and physical train ing in the grade schools. It was as serted that the enlisted strength of the regular United States army at this time is even below the latest figures set by congress.

How did the Bright Angel trail get its name? Bucky O'Neill named it. according to Captain Hance, who re- lates the story as follows:
 "WG never did know where she came from nor how she got here, but all to once she was here, an 'peared like she'd come to stay. She was sickly, you could see that, but she never complained none; she was allus jest as dOggone cheerful as a sun shiny mornin'.
 Cad! but she was beautiful. She had fluffy hair that was like a streal; O sunlight streamin' through win der an her skin was soft as velvet, an jest white an pink, an she didn' look like g person that was intended to live on earth; leastwise in no such outlaudish place as this.
 "An' the girl was jest as good a. she looked, 1 want to tell ye. Tie boys all fell" in love with her; Pete Berry, over at Grand View, an Bass, down at the ferry, an l guess 1 had sort of tender regard like Ter her myself.
 "She ust t go down the trail nigh on every day, wallin' slow an look in at the wonderful sights in the cc;n- yon with them big blue eyes O hern, that was like little patches of the sky. The boys uster watch her, standin' on tn rim, till she'd get to be nutlin' but a tiny speck O bright color, movin' along the trail. Some times there'd be moisture in Bucky's eyes, an l dunno but mine, too, when we was looltin' at her, an feelin' mab- be she wasn't goin' ter last long.
 "Bucliy Uster say she was an angel; he know'd she was, an he turned out to be right, fer one day she went down the trail an never came back. There waa a sort O haze like hangin' in the canyon that afternoon, an long about sundown tn light struck it slantwise an CoIored it up like gold. You could mt see fer inter the canyon, but Bucky claimed he seen so'thin' float in up through the mist, white an sort O transparent like, but he knOWed it was her.
 "There wasn't no doubt bout her bein' an angel after that, an so he named the trail Fright Angel trail,' an that's how it come.
 "Y'See, Bucky was a sentimental feI,er, anyhow, natcherly, an we'd been a-callin' her the Bright Girl af- ter we. found cut twas Bright's dis east that ailcd her, so Buclty says, We'll make it Bright AngeI.'"

hau a lOL or run 1lSnlnS IlS week. Two of my brothers-in-llw and l made an agreement yesterday morn ing that the first to catch U fish would have to buy a quart Of--cigars. The darned cusses did me dirt. Whenever either of them got bite he didn't pull until he was sure the fish had got free. I would have lost only that l didn't put any bait on my hook.
 A young chap from Washington was out with us. He hooked a big salt water trout. He didn't play him at all, but kept reeling in. How he managed to hold the fish was mys- tery. Pretty soon the fish was di- rectly below the end of the rod, but the amateur didn't stop. He contin- ued to reel and reel, and finally had the fish's head touching the tip of the pole. Then he actually tried to pull it through the ring. Of course, he didn't succeed.
 What shall l do now?" he asked Brother John.
 About the only thing you can do now" said John, ''is Co climb up the pole after the fish"

 Ferd Eubank, one of the best loved characters along ChCsaDcake Bay, who can keep a bunch happy all day long with old-time songs and quaint anec- dotes, insists that our physical ail- ments are all purely imaginary un- less they ain't.

Then he switched a bottle of water for it, and poured water into the old soak's glass, himself and the others drinking from the original boStle of apple jack. Be- fore the old soak had finished his pint of water he was UproaITOUsly drunk and it took two men to hold him on his feet until they could get him home.
 One peculiar trait with southern people, both white and black, is their fear of strange dogs. Often l have seen men whose courage had often been proven, as it-is likely to be at any time in this country where most of them spend most of their time deep seq. fishing and oyst2ring, beat a has
