12 TIIE OM"AIIA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 6, 1911. a i t ir r iq w ir x Men oi the Missouri Valley If the gentlemen pictured on this page deem it to their advantage and for the protection of their depend ants to carry expensive life insurance, why is it not de sirable for men of less prominence and financial ability to obtain similar pro tection in a reliable less ex pensive fraternal order. Some of these men are members of the Woodmen of the World. The wage worker prefers it and the wealthy "pass it not by." They appreciate its reliabil ity and worth. The Members Rule in Perfected Woodcraft No stockholders to exact dividends. An equal, mu tual co-partnership. Not temporary but permanent protection. Not an experi ment but an established suc cess. Every member has membership in the order and contributes equally, based on expectancy of life according to age, creating an interest earning fund, safely invested, to minimize the monthly contributions, to assure positive payment of death benefits, the erec tion of a monument to the memory of each deceased member, and to assure an nual pensions to the living members for total physical disability by reason of old age. The wonderful growth of the Woodmen of the World all over the Amer ican continent is due to its equitable and safe plan. If understood it impels confi dence.

YATES, Sovereign Cleric Life Insurance CompaniesNebraska Losses in 1910 In 1910 the insurance companies doing business in Nebraska incurred losses to the amount of $965,970. This sum shows that protection was given to many widows and children. It is startling proof of the great benefits of insurance. Those dependent upon a father who is insured are given the dollars represented by his policy. They are protected from the hard ships of life. Possibly the father has not laid away money, probably his investments have notVeturned well all the family has left is the insurance he carried on his life. This money saves them from a cruel life. Many a widow has been given a comfortable home where she enjoyed years of a peaceful life all because her ht-rband was wise enough to take out life insurance on his life. None doubts the wisdom of being insured. Any man who carries a policy will tell you that you should insure while young. Fathers of young men urge them to take out policies take them out early. The earlier a man is insured the less will be the cost of his policy. There is no form of protection that is so safe and so sure as life insurance.
