OUR FOUR AGENTS
BY V. OVERSTREET

Mr. w. H. Lenoir is yet with us and is
doing splendid work with the agents
of the National Benefit Life Insurance
company here in Laurel.
Mr. R. B. Reid is yet on the job with
his eyes open. He is a little talkative but
is thinker too.
Mr. w. A. Chapman is humming
new tune this week. You will learn the
words of his song in the Voice next
week.
1--WE are out to do all we can" says Mr..
Houston, that our policy-holders may
be pleased"
Mr.. Houston is singing that old-time
song. The words read like this: THE
time is not like it used to be-"
Now have lot to say but time will
not allow us to deal along the subject
which rests on my mind most so | will
save my voice until a later date.
Just let us write you some insurance
that you may know us.
Do not ask an agent of another COM
pany to explain our policy to you. Just
ask us and we will do that for you.
| We do not ask you to take a policy
with us just because our company is for
the colored only, but it is because it is
the best company for you.
Remember this, that all other insur-
ance companies of this country go down
in mourning when the National Benefit
Life Insurance company is introduced
and no other company who is better
than she will ever try to knock here.
It is the best company in Laurel for
the colored

Editorial Comment
Mere U. S. Roads Needed For North Dakota
North Dakota Highway Bulletin)

Some time ago, the Joint Board appointed by
Secretary Jardine completed its work and reported
It's conclusions as to the selection of us. Roads
and their numbering North Dakota has three East
and West routes over what are generally known
as the Roosevelt, the National Parks and the yell
lowstone highways. There are but two North and
South routes, one Of whichHs the Meridian High
way and a second skirting@the western boundary
following substantially State Highways No. 26 and
No. 2. There is national road, consequently, be-
tween Fargo on the East and Belfeld on the West
or fer a distance of about $50 miles, This condi
ton extends throughout all the states south of us
clear to the Gulf No doubt the Joint Board con-
templated that there would be some additional U. S.
Roads designated between No. 81 and No. IS, as
there other designations between these num-
bers.
1t is cur Judgment that sJme effort should be
made in the near future to such designations
and that North Dakota might proftably inaugurate
such step. No one can, foytell what the Congress
may do in the future relative to federal aid and it
is not unlikely that some day federal aid may be
confined solely to u S. Roads In this event, unless
possible that the further designation Of u s. Roads
may also be curtaed. But, if we are prompt in
our efforts and get the federal authorities COM
mitted to a certain number Of u S. Roads, it is
probable that they would alter the system thus laid
out when a policy of retrenchment is inaugurated.
We have noon in this State for the three add;-
tional Z. S. Roads to be numbered U. S. Road No.
So No. 50 and No. 81, respectively This fact should
cause cities like Valley City, jamestown and Devils
Lake, and Bismarck and Minot, and Dickinson to
sharpen their pencils to figure ouju just where u s.
Road should come With the approach of spring,
We are reminded of the old adage-"Thc early bird
gets the worm"
