HOW CLARK BUYS A BQIID
Which Guarantees His Family an Es
tate, if He Dies, and Himself a t
" Home, if. He Lives.
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." Mr. Clark bought th
Insurance, and what Mr. Clark did you
can do. . .l
i Permit our agent to explain & con
tract to you. If you do not own all
h land vou care to farm, ask for cir
cular No. 1 which shows "How Jonef
feoubgt and Paid for a $6,000 farm."
If vou have a mortgaged farm, call for
rtrciilar No. 2. which shows "How
Samuels Paid a $2,000 Mortgage."

NEBRASKA DISGRACED

claim that "everything is fair in poll

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

of the year his crops are gone and his

will have no Idea of how It all came
