AMERICAN SPIRIT-'SELF RELIANCE

In a recent address, E. M. McCooney, Vice
President and Actuary Of the Bankers Life Co.
OF DeS Moines, observed that the cost of gov
ornamental relief Of distress during depression,
could be infinitely greater were it not for the
institution of life insurance. In the last five
years, life insurance companies have returned
to policy holders and beneficiaries the vast
sum of $13,000,0 900 375 for death payments.
surrender values, etc. Other hundreds Of mil
ions have been distributed through policy
loans.
A tremendous percentage of the thirteen
billion has gone to widows and to people
whose resources of support have vanished. 1t
has gone to beneficiaries of once-Sizable estates
which, when probated, contain no value save
insurance policies.
Life insurance payments have kept count
less off the relief rolls, who otherwise would
have become a burden to all taxpayers-at the
expense of their own morale and self-respect.
One of the great achievements of American
life is the thrift habit which manifests itself in
acquiring life insurance. 1t is pleasant to re-
fleet that such protection is made possible by
thrift, wisdom and foresight Of each individual.
He does not depend upon "relief' furnished
BY others. That represents the true American
spirit-"Self Reliance"

SHOULD WE RESENT THIS?
what Do You Think?)

The Omaha Guide wishes to ay that it IS IN
deed a pleasure for us to print the religious,
social, civic, political and personal news for
the people of this community. We are very
happy to serve You in the aforementioned ca
p~acities. However, after we have printed this
type of news for you, positively free we feel
that we have indeed been cheated when you,
especially the clubs and organizations Of this
community, completely ignore us when you
have lob printing TO be done.
Some clubs, whose news we print
every week, and whose affairs w have given
free publicity for months before the event,
have taken what business they could have
thrown our way and given to some one, whom
they can never turn for a favor. Other clubs
have claimed ignorance Of the fact that we do
Job printing.
How would you feel if you were a grocer,
for instance, and you had credited some Gus
toner when he didn't have money to pay and
had Just been a good friend to him, and as
soon as he did get some money to spend, he
went to another grocery to spend his money?
Wouldn't you, naturally, expect him to do all
he could for your business by spending with
you after you had befriended him?
Then think how we must feel about your
club news that we print free and your job
printing you take to some one else when you
have some money to spend.
q Don't let personal feelings make you a
traitor to your community. We know that
we are capable Of turning out attractive job
printing and we believe that we can offer just a.
attractive prices as any other reliable print
shop. At least, when you spend your money
with Us you are making it serve a dual purpose
to pay the salaries of members who serve your
community and if you are 'b~roadminded and
far-sighted enough, you will see that you can
help build jobs for our boys and girls Of to-
morrow by helping to maintain the businesses
Of today.
So at least, be fair with yourselves, as well
as with US, and give us at least a chance to bid
for your job printing of tickets, programs,
folders, placards, stationery, invitations or any
thing in the printing line that any other shop
can do. We can, and will be glad to serve you
Remember, when you spend your money
with us your are making it serve dual purpose.
First, it pays for your job, and second, it sup
ports community organization.
The Omaha Guide is the property Of the
people Of this community. 1t IS your paper,
and it is your duty to lend your support. We
are not demanding. We are not begging
We do not want charity. We are merely ask
ing you to stop choking US to death, still ex-
pecting US to function, and give us a chance
to earn our maintenance while serving you
We do not mean that we won't print your
news because you do not patronize us otherwise
1t is one Of our few privileges that we enjoy
representing the people of this community. But
think this over, and see if you can honestly
say you are being fair with yourself and your
community by ignoring your own community

AAA DEFINITELY
POPULAR, FARM
SURVEY SHOWS
Bouquets 0utnumber Brick
bats, QueStionnaire'S Re-
suits Tell Leaders.
BY WILLIAM A. BELL JR.
United Press STAFF Correspondent

Copyright. 1895. BY United Press
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Bou-
quets for the AAA definitely out
numbered brickbats today in a
United Press survey at the outset of
the third farming season under New
Deal agricultural programs. :
Eleven reports from as many sec
tons Of the country indicated AAA
popularity in cities as well as on
farms. Five were critical.
The survey revealed the cash
benefit features of AAA programs
are generally popular among
farmers.
Merchants in cities and towns
supplying automobiles, clothing,
machinery and assorted luXuries
and necessities to rural customers
are decidedly pro-AAA, the survey
disclosed.
Critical reports from some as
serted the "big fellows" have Jared
better under AAA than the little
fellows" Tenant farmers, share
troopers, and hired hands were said
to feel the program discriminates
against them; that acreage reduc-
ton has increased unemployment.
SOutherners All For 1t
The most CONSPICUOUS general re-
vival directly attributable to the
AAA vas reported for southern to-
bacco and cotton areas. Rice
growers in Arkansas and Louisiana
were enthusiastic for the AAA,
which today started a new program
to increase producers incomes with
payments derived from a cent
a pound tax on milling and by re-
ducing the surplus.
Cattlemen in Kansas and Mis-
souri, and dairy farmers in WiScon-
sin were not so favorably impressed
with AAA, reports indicated.
Information regarding automobile
sales was contradictory. The ar
rival of benefit checks in some
counties started a rush for auto
salesrooms. In other sectors, no in
creased car sales were reported.
Excerpts from some of the
reports:
Stuttgart, Ark: The "AAA is x
tremely popular"
Bryan, Tex: Farmers, merchants,
bankers and others in close touch
with the agricultural situation all
declare that there is little dissatis-
faction over the AAA program on
the part of real farmers"
Minneapolis: Farmers are not
wholly satisfied with AAA results
to date, but there is no widespread
dissatisfaction"
Milo Reno Is Bitter
Milo Reno, president Of the Ma
tional Farm Holiday Association,
protested farmers are being forced
to sign corn-hog control contracts.
Real dissatisfaction" has been hid
den by the "ballyhoo" of AAA
leaders, he charged.
Tenant farmers in Texas cotton
belt ARE bitterly opposed to the
AAA, but their voices are not often
heard"
The Kansas Livestock Association
told the AAA that cattle men
wanted to be left alone, and we'll
come out all right"
About one-half the farmers I
come in contact with actually are
out of sympathy with the govern
ment's effort" said a farm paper
editor.
