This act of true ,neihborliness and friendship shows the spirit of helping others has not died in this good old country of ours, notwithstanding the depression and the grasping for the last cent by a great many people.

Fairfield, residing north of town, who is making his home at Streeter, Illinois, has been very sick with an attack of acute appendicitis, for which he underwent an operation recently and is now able to be up and about again and to resume his work this week. Everybody Working Now Alvo is pretty well situated at this time with everyone who desires and is able to work, having a job of some sort or other. The farmers are all busy and with prospects of a good crop year, have hired considerable help, thus helping to relieve the un employment problem that has been with us for so long a time. Is Kept Pretty Busy Frank Dougherty was shipping a consignment of stock to the South Omaha market last Wednesday, the same being delivered by R. M. Coat man with his big truck. As soon as Roy got home, he immediately went to work setting up farm maehinerj for John B.

The Journal also joins in extending congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds. WHERE THERE IS NO SATURATION POINT The Insurance Field observes that it is occasionally said that life in surance has reached the saturation point. But statistics paint a dif ferent picture. Life insurance policies have been purchased by about half the people of this country. Their investment in life insurance totals some $22,000, 000,000. Yet, vast as that figure is, the average individual policy out standing is for only $1,670 and the average share of life insurance as sets per policyholder amounts to only $364. As the Insurance Field says: "What a field for additional insurance!" As a matter of fact, there can be no real saturation point in life in surance. No person can have too much security. No-one can have in vestments that are too safe. And there are few of us who don't want more money in old age, both for our selves and our dependents. If the average man has only $1,600 of insurance, there is a market for ten or twenty times that amount. By the time that is reached, it is very possible that the average man will Avant to increase his insurance holdings still further. Every time a larger part of the national income is spent for insur ance, the national assets increase and spending rises. More money goes for the necessities and luxuries that make jobs and investments and that, in turn, begets still more spend ing. The potentialities of life insur ance as an economic force, entirely aside from its social benefits, would require an Einstein to figure. Friday evening was double header night in Che kittenball league v, ith the Home Dairy and the Donats stag ing a 13 to 4 battle while the Nor folk Packers took the Chevies in a cood fast came by the score of 7 to C with plenty of action. In the opening game the Home Dairy started after the beverage team with a vengence and accumulated seven of their scores in the first frame as Vanlandingham was hit hard and several errors added to the milk men's scoring. . The Donats acquired three tallies in the first frame and after that both teams tightened - and gave the fans a good ball game with plenty of fast work on the part of both teams. Duda in the sixth doubled for the Home Dairy and scored on the hit of Miller, while for the Donats, Hull was walked and later scored on an outfield error. The box score of the game: Home Dairy- AB R II TO A E Keil, lb 5 1 2 5 0 0 Hilt, 2b 5 1112 0 Smock, 3b 5 110 11 R. Hirz, ss 4 2 13 11 H.

The Packers were able to take full advantage of several errors in the earlier innings to get a lead. In the seventh inning Scurto, fleet shortstop scored the win ning run on the blow of Brittain.

Whether the governor vetoed this law or it failed of passage in one of the two legislative house3 has not been ascertained, but the fact remains that it is not included in the session laws and so must have been halted somewhere along the line. riattsmouth and Nebraska City had led the fight to have the measure passed, being aided by the legislative committee of the League of Nebraska Municipalities. Its purpose was to prevent collection of insurance on buildings that burn down, having de linquent taxes against them, and then deserting the property. Including the debris left by a fire.
