What human being has more drama
in his life than any other on the face
of the earth?
According to Emory johnson, the
director, it is the man who comes in
contact with the most people, and he
has chosen hero for his most re-
cent picture whose life he believes is
more full of dramatic moments than
any other character ever seen on
stage or screen, the mail man.
"The Mail Man." coming to the
Caughren theatre Sunday and Mon
day with Ralph Lewis in the leading
role, is replete with the human touch
es which fill the life Of this most in
teresting character, and should be
the best of Johnson's series for F. B.
O. which include "The Third Alarm, -
"In the Name of the Law" and "West-
bound Limited"
Emile Johnson, the author of the
series, recently stated that the story
of "The Mail Man" almost wrote it.

material which presented itselff con-

elbow Your Own Horn" is built
around the efforts of two fond fathers
to marry the daughter of one to the
son of the other-one, to gain well.
known family name; the other, to
build up a depleted family fortune.
But, the young people cannot be
coerced in matters of the heart, and
the girl falls in love with a penniless
doughboy, who, through the advice of
her father, is blowing his own horn"
by posing as young New York mil
lionaire.
The father thinks that things are
going too far when the story of the
imaginary wealth, of which he is
himself the author, wins his own
daughter away from the man to
whom it is planned to marry her.
But the boy, continuing his ballyhoo
methods, finally turns a neat trick
which wins for him the approval of
both families, and everything ends
as it should.

Suppose there is truth in these and
numerous other EXCUSES offered for
not securing insurance protection,
how about the benefits yau may re-

there are, and they will be handed

To illustrate, assume an Ordinary

one year it can be cashed for $9.45,

be free from paying premiums during
a trying emergency. After carrying
the policy one year he may refrain
from paying for one year and sc

refrain from paying for IL years and
223 days. He receives full total per-

he had made his regular payments. If
at the end of these periods he pays
all unpaid premiums his policy is
placed upon the same plane it would
