Ycp may be surprised to learn that
your father ana I are going to Lon

Your father is still far from we'll

In any of her letters to you, Leslie,

a great admiration and respect for

Karl was hopelessly in love with you

we are both very fond Of him.

AMERICAN SAVINGS

Recently Il was cause OF con-
gratulations that savings deposits
had risen billion in a single year.
That is far eclipsed by the state
ment that American life insurance
companies sold this year $11.71O,-
100000 of new policies. That
makes the total insurance OF Amer
lean lives $4,000, 100000. more
than in all the rest of the world.
The increase of insurance this year
by $1,936,000,0O0 was above even
1920.
There is more than proof of
prosperity id these fiugres. We
knew we were rich, but there was
doubt that We were wise in the use
OF our riches. We are still spend
ing lavishly. but are saving more.
The billions paid to: the Lie sinsur-
ancc companies or the savings
banks go into the hands of the
sanest spenders. The insurance
companies have added S406,000. 900
to their mortgage loans to builders
OF their own homes or other prep
erty. Every State in the Union has
felt this underpinning OF the
foundations of the future. Alto
gether over three billions of in
surance loans are almost equally
divided between city and country
loans. The total exceeds invest
ments in railway securities by half.
Life insurance is the one form
of using earnings in which per-
sonal profit is only remote mo-
tive. 1t requires both resolution
and generosity to care for the Sc
curity of others. Only in coun-
try whose institutions are firmly
founded can there be suc: long
distance views as large savings
imply. There are more capitalists.
great and small in this country
than in any other They will de-
fend their property. They are not
victims of deluded "intellgentsia"
whose followers seek fortune in
Selling and dividing. Our savers
are not among those who listen to
soap-box Socialists. If ever our
country and its institutions are in
danger, they will be saved by its
saving classes.-New Yorf Times

GLAD OF 1T

Congressman Young has made a
statement to the public that he will
hang onto his job through his
present term if the president will
hold open that appointment for
him in the meantime. II Mr.
Young does that there will be no
need for candidates to be bobbing
up until the primary election next
June and this will save the district
q special election and considerable
money thereby. THIS is a mighty
good arrangement. The candidates
for congress can all go into :he
primaries next June and then the
two highest will be voted upon in
the fall and the winner will take
his seat March. 1925. Mr.. Young
is showing good business sense in
this arrangement and by so doing
to settle a lot OF unrest and save
the district from a narrowing cam
paign for his seat through spe-
cial election.-Valley City Times
