RACE IN EARNEST
Thus far, the race has been so
close that it was anybody's. But
things will be different from now
on with all candidates striving to
gain an outstanding lead. Since the
Third Period is now on it won't
be long before some candidate
jumps far ahead of the field. This
will mean a real shake-up with
perhaps some candidate now low
down on the list forging ahead to
the top, leaving the others far, far
behind. Now Is the time to step
on it" and make every minute
count. Yesterday is gone and for
gotten-Today is here. Don't think
what you might have done, but
think what you are going to do
NOW, today, this week. The efforts
put forth now will couSf BIG. Make
every minute count TODAY: to-
morrow will take care of itself.
In compliance with the re-
quest of several candidates, we
have decided to extend the
campaign one week. The cam
paign will close on May 23rd,
without fail!
The Third period will close
May 10Th, instead of May II.
The Fourth period will be con-
Quoted on the original basis,
except that It begins one week
later, May Goth, until May 23rd.

GUARD LIFE INSURANCE

Ex-President Hoover recently Of
fered the opinion that the life insur-
ance industry should be free from
taxation, inasmuch as other types ol
savings. such as savings deposits
are. There is small chance of that
coming to pass-but the public
would do well to consider that no
industry should be given greater
consideration by our lawmakers.
Life insurance represents the fin
est type OF social security. The hun
dreds Of millions OF dollars of life
insurance reserves belong TO mill
lions of our citizens, the great bulk
of them persons of small and aver
age means. The average policy is
in the neighbOrhOod Of $1,000-and
in many cases, that represents al
most the entire savings of a life
time.
Laws are often proposed that
would OveT-regulate or overtax life
the harm of these
millions of policy owners. Fortu-
nately, few such laws have yet pass
we should see TO it that
none do in the future.
