PNE GREAT COMPANY'S GROWTH (That the National Fidelity Casnaltr Company Ilaa Doae for Its Patrons ana Its Home Tow a. rThe commercial supremacy of New ork Is due In a largo measure to the ntrallxatlon of Insurance assets in that arket. and It Is high time that there ould be established In the central west ranee corporations with smple re- rces to carry the risks and collect premiums, which have heretofore ne to the eastern Insurance companies. Hon. W. D. Vandtver, speaking before a Transmlssisslppl Commercial congress xntly, said: "If great banking cor- ratlons are to be built up on the de alt of Insurance funds, let It be our n banks. If farms and factories are be established by the use of Insurance 'cumulations, then let It be the farms 1 factories of the people who pay the miums. If railroads are to be built i equipped from the great storehouse policy premiums, let it be the rail ids of this great Transmlsslsslppl F Mtry and without first having our ,.ids filtered through the stock mar !.Jt of New York."

Swobe. realising the op ' rtunlty existing for a casualty and P rety company In the central west, or I nlied the National Fidelity and Casu Ity company of Omaha In iifl. The es ibllehment of this company gives the ' business men or tnis section an oppor tunity to place their surety and casualty f- nea with a borne Institution. JifTna NaUonal Fidelity and Casualty i ompany has 1) stockholders, comprising ? na strongest body of representative busi ness men that have ever been interested fin any one proposition of the central fweat. The company has shown an ln cerase in business of over S9 per cent each year since its organization, a fair ahara of the company's success being due to the Increasing sentiment of the west ern business to patronise a western in stitution. To purchase of a home manufacturer Is borne patronage to a degree only, for the manufacturer must by necessity pur chase his raw produce at a foreign mar ket. In patronising a home Insurance company you are giving patronage to a borne Institution in the fullest sense, for not a dollar of the premium paid of necessity leaves the territory, the Insur-1 ance company's funds being deposited in local banks, and Invested la local securi ties.

The National Fidelity and Casualty company was the first to pay the claim on the death of Mr. Emil Brandeis, who lost his life In the Titanic disaster. The fact that the National Fidelity and Casu alty company Is the first to pay the Brandeis claim proves conclusively th. claim which the company has always made, that Its policies are eight-drafts upon the company. Immediately upon any claim being established. The management of tha Nn inn. i fi delity and Casualty company may well fee proud of the record which the com pany has made, for fair dealings and uie company's growth In nreminm in come proves that the company Is rapidly growing In favor with the Insurlni nub. lie. SOME COCOANUTS TO CRACK How the Stranser Divide Money savagea (a Paysaeat for Hla Meal. A hungry traveler In Africa -.rr. three simple-minded savages as they " aooui to mil aown for their noon day meal. He asked and received per mission to share It with thm ... ... v, vimaing to pay them handsomely for the food. savage ivo. l contributed six eocoaauts to the meal, savage No. i contributed ten while savage No. X a large man who was very hungry, added fourteen to the pile, making thirty eocoannts In all for the four men three savages and the traveler. The eocoaauts war shelled, and, the savage bosta being courteous, each ate only his fsir and equal share-the trav eler, though still hungry, thus eatlna only his equal share. Rising after the meal, and thanking his hosts, he handed them thirty coins to be divided among them as rayment. Immediately there arose a terrible wrangle as to the division of the money, The first savage, who had contributed but six cocoanuts, Insisted on the coins being divided In three equal parte, be cause three people had supplied a meal for which the fourth paid therefore an equal division In thirds, he contended was the only logical one. The second savage said that as the first savage had eaten more than he had contributed he had no share In the spoils at all, and that the third savage and he, the second. should divide the spoils equally between them, as they alone bad given the traveler his meal. The third man, who hsd contributed fourteen, said that the proper principle was obvious: As each had contributed cocoanuts to a total of thirty, and that as there were thirty coins, each should receive a coin for each cocoanut con tributed. No decision being reached, they agreed to leave It to the stranger and abide by hla decision, which be guaranteed to be a just one. And on his snnounclng It, so simple was his reasoning that ail agreed, though none got what he had asked for. What was the Just decision? This apparently simple problem was answered by the stranger In this way: The first savage was to receive nothing at all, tha second savage seven coins and the third savage twenty-three coins. Im mediately three swords were raised, two to run him through and one to defend him. But there was no fight. His loglo won him his life. He said: There were thirty nuts, of which four people ato equal shares, or seven and a half nuts, which Is JM. No. 1 contributed six nuts, or yet he ate 30-4, thus going In debt for S-4 nuts. No. t con tributed ten nuts, or 40-4, ate 30-4, and thus contributed 10-4 nuts to the supply from which I ate. No. J contributed fourteen nuts, or K-4, ate 30-4. thus con tributing 2-4 of tbe supply from which I ate. But I, like you, ate only 30-4. The sum of the contributions of man No. 1 and man No. 3 waa 36-4. The remaining (-4 you both contributed to man No. l's dinner. Now I did not pay any of you to feed any of you I paid you to feed me. Aa man No. 3 contributed 3-4 of a nut to man No. 1 and 7-4 to me. and as man No. 3 contributed 3-4 to man No. I and 23-4 to me. I say that man No. 1 is In debt to each of you for 3-4 of a nut. and ' hence one of you should get seven, the other twenty-three coins." Scientific American.
