Mr. Clark, aged thirty-five,- is man ager of the elevator in the town of Sa lens The position pays him a good salary, enabling him to cupport his family and lay aside about $200 per year. Though he is now living com fortably, he realizes that he must de vise some way of providing an income for his declining years. ( v His idea is to buy a farm. During a period .of meditation as to whether or not he shall purchase a certain quar ter section of land which is for sale at "4K.uti0. he is interviewed by a represen- - -.. . . . T 1 T l T tative of tne Uia line tJanKeru surance company of Lincoln, Nebraska who endeavors to interest him in Life Insurance ; Hardly does the agent get well start' ed, when he is interrupted by Mr. Clark iwho tells him of his intention to buy a farm.' He states that he is about to make a small payment on the purchase and will If the aent can offer . anything" better be an interested llSt6Il6F "Well," said the agent, "suppose you buy a farm worth $5,000 by paying the mall sum of $175.25 annually without interest, for twenty years, the con tract for same containing a clause spe cifying that, should you die at any time the party from whom you buy the land will cancel all deferred pay ments, and give your estate a clea. title; or if you live to the maturity of the contract, give you not only the deed to the land, but pay you as large a per centage of profit as you could reason ably expect to make from the property Would you buy a farm onthosr terms?" , , a . Of course Mr. Clark was interested and since the Company secures eacl and every contract issued with a de posit of approved securities with thf State of Nebraska.be expressed a will ingness to become a party to such an agreement. "Well," continued the agent, "if yor will pay annually to the Old Line Bank ers Life Insurance ComrJany of Ne braska the sum of $175.25 they will, V you die at any time, pay to whom yo may name the sum of $5,000. If yoi live twenty years, they will give you f cash settlement consisting of the guar anteed reserve and an estimated sur j'plus. amounting to $5,491.25. You wll readily see that you receive $1,986.2' more than you pay in, which is bette than four per cent compound interest Then, too, having the assurance that should you die, you would leave" a com fortable estate."

THEY DON'T KNOW IT The manner In which the people of this country are held In ignorance 01 nil things economic h somewhat com plicated, but it la very effective. Not one farmer In a hundred Know that freight rates have ben constantly ru ing for the lat two years, ukins just that many millions from the felling nrlre at his cattle, hoc, wheat and torn. They go plodding alons. lolling away day after day. In blissful Ignor ance, all of them taking "mora pa twr than thev have time to read." and itlll knowing nothing that U ad vantaucouu to them. Hern I an item that shouM l of Interest to farmer which appeared lu the financial col umn of the xrcat dillNa during the week, but th farm r who taU o ItulUH lht tlM kd n.if littlf lit read them, ha heard nothing abuft It and he won't hear anything as long as he reads the papers that are furnished ' him free. It is as follows; ' "Trunk line repYesentalives met in New York yesterday and re duced the rates on steel and iron ; and their products for export 33 1-3 i per cent and raised the rates on grain and its products from Chi- " cago to the seaboard, both export and domestic, by 2 cents per 100 pounds." 1 The steel trust wanted some more millions and as the men who run the trust are directors iu the railroads all they had to do was to meet and reduce the freight rate on steel and iron 331-3 per cent and raise the rate on grain 331-3 per .cent and the thing; was done. The sum of the whole mat ter is that the farmers are forced, to make a contribution to the steel trust of some millions of dollars, Tho man who lake; thirteen papers and uasnt time to read them will not know what hit him. He will find at the end of the year his crops are gone and his debts are somewhat Increased, but he will have no Idea of how It all came about. Ho will just go to work, dig tho harder and continue to voto 'cr straight. Down go the rates on steel and Iron and up go the rate on grain, and because the prea tu been subsidized nmj bought up by pint 00 racy the people know roihing about It.
