he reached third when Joe Harris
doubled to left, but Bucky Harris
killed off Mcmillan and the Sox

Showing their utter disregard for
Alex. Ferguson, the Griffs showed
two runs over in the first frame.
McMillan's wild throw put Bluege
on second, a sacrifice showed him
over to third and Sam Rices double
scored him. Goose Goslin singled
to center and overcame Rice.
In the fifth Ferguson was driven
from the hill in disgrace. Bucky
Harris led off with a double up
against the left field score board
and Rice walked. Goslin, who al
ready had two singles, poled a dou-
bic to left center, bringing in Har-
ris and Rice. That rap also brought
Frank O'Doul. a wretched left hand

Judge bounced to O'DouI, whose

was ruin down at third for the
second out. Here the Boston
aouthpaw showed his big heart by
passing both Charity and Zach

plate. BIuege's rOusing single to

Bucky Harris was hit by pitched

five runs were chaIked up.

always been impressed with the out
look of the aged or those approach
ing the decline or the sunset of life,
and had noticed that they usually
look forward with actual dread for
fear their savings would be used up
before the end came, and that they
might become destitute when help
less. The statistics regarding the
hundred average Americans shown
in the meeting conveys the sad
prospect they must look forward to
unless they provide life insurance on
plan that enables them to draw
on and use the values Of the policies
while growing old, and the plan pre-
sented by Carr Beebe put new cheer
into the prospect Of the aged, and
supplied bridge for the dark breach
that intrudes itself by the process
of nature. The insurance policy
drawn on that plan enables the peo-
pie at middle age to quote to each
other the couplet.
"Grown old along with me,
The best is yet to be,
The last of life,
For which the first was made"
Some Ancient Life Insurance
One of the speakers stated that
life insurance had been growing for
about $50 years and somebody asked
for an explanation of just how it
started. Mr.. Beebe answered it by
saying that very long time ago a
certain king of Egypt had a good
dream and saw seven fat cows come
up out of the Nile. Then he had a
bad dream and saw seven lean COWS
come up out of the Nile. He asked
the professors to interpret it's mean
ing, and they were puzzled, but a
certain sheep herder from out of
the hills told him it meant that
there would be seven years of plenty,
and then the muskrats would cut
holes in the dam and drain the reser-
voir and there would be seven years
when they would have no irrigation
and there would be poor crops like
the dry farmers have been getting.
The sheep herder advised that dur
ing tn good years they should store
wheat and eat substitutes and in
various ways keep up their pep and
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1923-02-01

their vitamines without exhausting
their food stuff.
The sheep herder was appointed
chairman of the cooperative food
drive and the kings wife was made
chairman of the committee to make
up collection of second hand cloth
ing, robes and things, and by their
thrift they were able to pull the
whole population thru the years of
famine. That was life insurance,
and it was thrift, but it was not un-
til recent years that the means have
been devised for applying it to all
people in all conditions of life.

The Widows Humiliation

Men have become inbued with the
idea of leaving life insurance money
to protect their families after death,
but not many of them have come to
understand that when the widow re-
ceives the cash she generally loses
most of it and very soon. Statistics
show that most of them lose it all
within six years, and some of them
lose it outright by imprudent invest
ment right away. They are mex
perienced, and are apt to act on the
first thing that comes along, and it
is said that tombstone men are dill
gent in calling on widows at the
time the insurance is due and pay
able, and it is one of their failings
to buy a tombstone that is entirely
too expensive. Vendors of wildcat
stocks pay visits to the new Capital
ist'' and fleece them numerically.
Men become accustomed to- being
solicited and being stung or turning
down the propositions made to them,
and the widow in her inexperience is
an easy victim. Mr.. Beebe men
toned such case in his experience,
where he handed a widow a draft
for $4,000 and reminded her that
her husband had planned carefully
and worked hard to leave her that
protection, and that it would be
