TAXPAYER WRITES ON
COUNTY AFFAIRS

Now that the political pot has
begun to boil, first in the contest
for nomination aud then for elec-
tion later in the fall, considerable
interest is being shown and cspe-
cially in that part of the political
field involving local conditions.
One Of the most significant po-
litical vehicles that drives closest
10 home Of the voter who takes an
interest in local government is the
Commissioners Court or tn e
Board Of County Commissioners.
One very important function of
this Board is the building and
maintenance of roads, both arteri-
al highways and roads in the coun-
ny districts in the county.
In the beginning the law is
pitched upon the foundation Of
having the membership Of this
Board to properly represent the
country people in whose midst
country roads are constructed and
maintained. Seattle builds her own
streets through her own municipal
government and the County Com

Douglas. Four years ago this King
County calendar was nearly year
behind, Now case can be brought
to trial within three or four weeks
after the issues are made up.
"This good showing is due part

Radio Furniture Is
New Work of Artist

Reminiscent Of the days when. the
only member Of the family who knew
anything whatsoever about the radio
set was. the man Of the house, little
or no consideration was given to the
beauty of the cabinet which housed
the receiver. Like everything else
in it's amateur stage, the radio set
of years ago WAS ugly in appearance
and proportion and presented an
'out-of-place' look no matter where
it was placed in. the home.
Today, radio cabinets play an inn
portant part Of the sales value Of q
radio set. Radio manufacturers are
now putting as much effort on the
beauty Of the cabinets as in pro-
ducing efficiency in the set.
Particularly noted for the excel
lence Of furniture as well as the per-
lection Of it's chassis, are the Zenith
radio receivers. Zenith cabinets lend
harmony and decorative beauty to
any room, coming in the early Eng
lish and Italian Renaissance DESIGNS,
with the special period deluxe
models, masterpieces Of rare cabinet
makers art.

Lon CLANCY, q paralyzed, venge-
full Nemesis, ruling savage tribe as
white voodoo" in order to work
out nnonstrous revenge in the wilds
Of an African jungle, is the mystery
thriller coming to the Eltinge for
Monday and Tuesday in "West Of

Lionel Barrymore plays the hunted
enemy and Mary Nolan is seen as
the heroine, Chzney's daughter,
whose love regenerates renegade
physician among the unsavory crew
in the Congo wilderness. This role
is enacted by Warner Baxter.
Weird voodoo rites and ceremon-
les, with the uncanny incantations
and grim sacrifices of the native
tribes, are staged by several hundred
natives in the spectacular jungle
scenes. Clancy performs such tricks
as fire eatin. and other stage magic,
to cow the savages into obedience
to his commands. The sensational
climax, in which the revenge Of the
crippled MAGICIAN turns on himself,
is an astounding I'D go ..tional de-

Insurance in This Life Essential Next Evangelist Holds

for I would know that I would be
doing the next best thing for hu.
manly. Every time ! could prevail
upon q man to take out policy in
good strong company, | would be
doing Christian deed for possible
widow and orphans.
II hear someone say, But l have
faith to believe that God will take
care of my 10 ed ones My answer
is-that he will, even if you neglect
Athem. He has two ways Of provid-
ing for them. One is by private
charity. Ii you have no more con-
Germ or love tor your loved ones than
to pass on to your death, shifting
the burden to them or their relatives,
then nothing ! could say would in
terest you or change your mind.
Bitterness in Charity
"Thc other method at Gods dis
posal is that of the county home or
poor house. This is public charity.
If you are lacking in pride and love,
Of course they are likely to have to
be taken care of in these tax-sup-
ported institutions. You will be
dead and their keen embarrassment,
Of course, would not bother you at
that time. No real man will admit
that he is lacking in interest in his
family to that extent. Hence the
wisdom Of .ceking out the represent
tativc of :. good insurance company
and discussing your problems with
him. He will lrprise you in his dis
position anu ability to help you
create an estate which would be at
comparatively small cost. Let me
urge anyone in this city that has not
set your house in order in this re-
spect, to lose not a day in making
provision for those dependent upon
you, to do so at once. Delay may be
fatal. | believe in having ample
coverage or insurance in this life. |
also believe in having coverage or in
surance for the soul in the next life."
At this point DR.. Ham turned his
attention to the spiritual applica-
ton of his text, concerning mans re-
lationship to Christ and the wisdom
of seeking Him as a Saviour.

Portland, N. D., Dec. 15.-(H-
More money for highway develop.
mcnt, a more generous attitude
toward the state school system and
institutions of higher education and
some provision for taking the state
mill and elevator out of politics to
insure it sound business administra-
ton should be considered by the
forthcoming legislature, in the opin-
ion of C. Norman Brunsdale, men,
Der Of the state house of representa-
tives.
Commenting on the present needs
of the state as he sees them, Bruns-
dale said:
Il am definitely interested in see
ing legislation proposed and favor
ably acted upon to place the mill
and elevator at Grand Forks on a
different basis from that under
which it has so unfavorably and UNI
successfully been carried on in the
past. l would like to see it taken
completely out of politics and put in
the hands of commission to run
and operate. A commission of men
actively interested in seeing it work
out to a paying basis. A commission
composed of men widely known to
be favorable to it, yet containing men
who have experience and aptitude
for the business of running a mill
and elevator. Otherwise it would
have no restraining influence on the
active management and be of no
service in directing the efforts of
the active management.
Il am in favor Of a more gen.
erous attitude toward our schools
and state university and state col
lege, and would be interested in see
ing some of the indirect revenue 20
directly to our university and state
college, as for example the revenue
from the cigarette law.
II would like to see the work and
duties of our many boards and COM
missions coordinated, running many
of them together, for there are too
many of them. We could do away
with some, increase the power and
scope of others. Then place men
upon them by appointment consistent
with public service and welfare, and
relieve. as far as possible, consistent
with public welfare and safety, the
administrative officers that now are
overburdened with duties on a dozen
and one boards and commissions"

results from such negligence. The
unnecessary things Of life would
have provided against the day Of
want.
Here Is Deaths Sting
$50 often have l had the exper-
fence of burying the bread-winner of
the home and standing by the open
grave, with the sobbing widow and
crying children pulling at her skirts,
that she has requested me to call to
see her on the following day. Upon
calling ! found what l suspected to
be true, namely, that the father died
intestatc and with unpaid bills, i'm
GLIDING funeral expenses, it was
necessary for the mother to 60 to
work. She called me to ask if ]
could arrange to place her children
in the orphans home. 1t became
necessary to tell the mother that
Susie who was IA and Johnnie. who
was 13, could not be admitted, be-
cause they were over the age limit.
1t would be necessary to farm them
out for a livelihood. The three
smaller children might be admitted
if the waiting list of more than $50
children could be set aside for this
emergency. In case they were ad-
mitted, it would be necessary for the
mother to sign away the rights Of
the children until they were Of age.
The orphans home could not enforce
discipline without legal ownership
Of the children.
ITO say this to the widow has al
ways been my hardest task. The
minister, who advises that the home
will have to be broken up and the
mother left to work and late, per-
haps, each night she must 60 to an
old hall bedroom and not enjoy the
prattle of her children about her, is
indeed sentenced to task to be
shirked on the part Of every minis
ter; but he must tell her, however
harsh and cruel the words seem to
sound. If the husband had not
neglected his loved ones, no such
tragedy would have ever taken place.
Life Agent Does Christian Deed
IF l want to say that there is
someone in this city tonight who is
worse than Tom Paine, the great
French infidel, or Bob Ingersoll. the
renowned American infidel, there
would doubtless be instant disagree
ment with the statement. It would
be true, nevertheless, if there is one
man in this city who has no property
or no insurance and good health. I
can prove this statement from the
Bible. l Timothy, So. But if any
man provide not for his own, and
especially for those of his own house.
he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel.'
IF l were not in the ministry, I
would be in the insurance business,

different companies. 1t was found
upon offering these stocks for sale,
that only two stocks sold at par,
while many sold for ten cents on the
dollar and some were absolutely
worthless. Money expended in that
direction, if invested in life insur-
ance would have built up fortune.
1--WE have in this nation today
more than 6O,OOO,OOO policyholders,
representing combined total pro-
lection Of $88,OOO, 100000. Sixteen
billion of this protection was written
last year, as revealed by the reserve
put up with the various states. This
protection represents only Z per cent
of the life value of America. In 9TH
err words. SO per cent Of the life
value is still unprotected.
Insurance Can End Charity
"The insurance companies are
constantly fighting to eliminate the
necessity of community chests, or
phans homes and other forms of
charity. When the present life value
of an American is increased to
double and treble its present protec-
ton, charity will become almost un-
known, because the families of
America will be upon a sound bust
ness basis and brought there by the
constant education and protection
afforded by the life insurance idea.
Life insurance companies are
fighting penal institutions. They
provide helpless widows with money
to continue the children in school
when the bread-winner drops out. 1t
is so often true that the children are
left to wander about the streets and,
in most instances, cease attendance
at school, while the mother goes to
work to provide bread for their little
mouths. Their associations are not
guarded and they grow up to be
criminals.
1.-THE juvenile courts and the penal
institutions are graphing with this
problem of youth and crime. In the
majority of cases it has been found
that these young people became
criminals because the mother was
unable to keep them in school and
surround them with healthy asso-
Citations. Visualize, if you can, the
! day when life insurance will have
put the children of the nation on a
protective basis and we see at once
the moral value as well as the econ
omic value of the insurance idea. It
means the Punishment of crime to a
large extent.
"Eighty-five per cent of the wild
ows Of this nation are working for
livelihood. Ninety per cent Of the
widows do net own the roof over
their heads. The husband intended
to provide for those dependent on
him, but neglected to do so until it
was too late. Tragedy after tragedy
