 After waiting in vain in front of the municipal building, the five Ser iinites began to realize that there was something queer about the pro- ceedings. They went to an address on Church street, which had been given them by the stranger, but he was nowhere to be seen, it being stated there that he had left.

Companies Show Great Gain.

That a new high record for thrift

United States in 1923 is revealed by
the new business reports of 40 lead
ing life insurance companies forwarded
by the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents on January 10 to the Unit

at Washington. says the Life Associa-
ton News, published by the Nation

shows an increase of 30 per cent
over the new business production OF

BUSINESS OF GREAT
REPUBLIC SHOWING
LARGE INCREASE
J. Wylie King, General
Agent Here, Enjoying
Flourishing Business.

The business of the Great Republic
Life Insurance Company of Los An
geles, Cal, is enjoying an unusually
great increase, says j. Wylie King,
general agent. 502 Gunter building.
The substantial character Of the
growth of the Great Republic Life
Insurance Company is reflected in a
record of assets and premium income
which shows healthy increase from
year to gear.
In 1913 assets totaled S791, 4S4
and premium income $50, 572.S6. In
1922 assets totaled S2037 .203 and
premium income t6taled 5000, 2S0.60.
The strength of the Great Republic
Life Insurance Company. in the meas
ure Of the protection that is guaran-
teed to its policy-holders through the
operation Of the old line legal reserve
system under which its business is
conducted. is not confined to its as
sets, as the liability of the company
is enhanced TO an almost unlimited ex-
tent by the personal liability law Of
the state of California which applies
to its stockholders, says Mr.. King.
But. in order that the interests of
the policy-holders may be safeguarded
still further, each and every policy
of the Great Republic Life is regis
tered with the Insurance Commissioner
of the State of California and bears
his endorsement of such registration
and the fact that the reserve thereon
is deposited in the state treasury as
required by section 634 of the political
code of California, Mr.. King states.

understand and appreciate the fact
that the highest degree of considera-

Satisfied the Visitors

Burrows made motor trip through
three Southern states last summer,
Among many places of historical inter
est that he visited was famous Civil
War battlefield. The site was distant
from any city or town and was in a
country unsuited to agriculture. There
was little to distinguish the battle
field from any of the surrounding
country for miles around except Il
stone marker and an aged caretaker.
The old man in charge Of the place
took a great delight in showing Bur-
rows over the ground, and Burrows.
in turn, became interested in the old
man.
Don't you get lonesome out here
all by yourself?" Burrows asked.
"Oh, no." the old man assured him.
"You see, during q part Of the year l
live with my son down in Atlanta.
and while I'm out here / manage TO
keep too busy to get lonesome"
But what do you do when there
are no visitors:" Burrows inquired.
"Wull. / don't tell this to every
body" and the old man winked and
smiled. "but it takes lot of time to
keep old bullets scattered around for
the visitors TO carry off."-kansas
