The editor of the Woman's
Home Companion recently found
himself confronted with a peculiar
proposition. In the usual course
of his work he had evolved a four
part serial story, in which a beau
tiful Chicago heiress finds herself
unable to.decide beiween three
admirers—an English Lord, a
New York man and a citizen of
Chicago. Four well-known au
thors were asked to write the four
parts, but when they had almost
comglejed their, work, they could
not agree as to the suitor the girl
should accept. The question was
left to the editor, with the result
that he decided to ask his readers
to assist him, Several prizes are
offered in this novel contest, and
today there are many hundreds of
thousands anxiously awaiting the
conclusion of ‘‘The Trilemma of
Albertine.”

Home Insurance is Needed.
Why can’t a number of people
in a community band together
and carry their own insurance.
This is a question that many a
man has asked himself and right-
Iy he has thought of it when the
time comes for paying enormous
premiums to the so-called old line
companies. For instance why not
secure a thousand gmembers and
let each man pay a dollar at the
death of each member and there
by pay the widow of the deceased
member a thousand dollars. The
death rate for this section is re
markably low, being according tc
statistics, only about 5 out of each
thousand to die per year, which
would mean that after paying a
small expense fee of say a dollar
a year would only about six dol
lars that a thousand dollars would
cost him, Out of the demand for
such a company has grown the
Mutual Life Insurance Associaton,
whose home office is at Athens
and who have been induced to put
a representative in this territory, ‘
They have been very successful
having written over ;2000 policies‘
in the last twelve months and
since the organization of this 19¢a]
division, which will include Jas
per and Morgan counties, they ‘
have written over three hundred
of the one thousand members.
Mr. R. L. Webb, at Monticello
Hotel will represent this company
here and all residents of these two
counties in good health between
the ages of 16 and 6o are eligible
until the 1000 have been secured.
It will pay you to see Mr. Webb
and get him to explain the polciy.
