All Insurance
Companies Show
x Great Expansion
Firms Operating in Omaha
Show Average"of 44 Per
Cent Increase Ch er
Last Year.
Next in the amount, of resources
, to the railway systems of America
come the life insurance companies,
ceived from premiums is turned
The great bulk of their money re-
ceived from premiums is turned
back to the middle west in the shape
of loans on farm lands.; The re
sult of this credit to fanners has
been responsible for the large in
crease in the value of Nebraska
farms. If it were not for this com
paratively cheap credit extended for
mortgages, many farmers woufd be
unable to obtain sufficient macninery
and snpplies to properly tfll the sHt.
and thus land values would be less.
The life insurance companies
'"operating in Omaha shewed an in
crease of 44 per cent m business
tn the first eight months of this
year. One firm passed its last year
record on the last day of May this
year. .
Fire Business Jumps.
The fire insurance companies re
port a similar condition of prosper
ity. Almost universally these' re
port the first -six months of 1920
to have 'been the busiest on -record.
Part of the added business is due
to the increased valaation of proper
ty. Figures indicates that a house
formerly put up for $5,000 is now
worth $12,500. and policies are being
written .accordingly. . '
Precautions of all sorts are made
possible by the insurance companies.
Some firms report doing almost as
much business in tornado insurance
as in fire insurance. Policies against
damage from riot and civil disorder,
illness, accident, automobile acci
dents and almost every conceivable
risk are handled here. v
The importance life insurance
plays ia Hhese days is indicated by
the records ( the probate courts.
These show that seven-eighths or
87 1-2 per cent of what men loave
at death is life insurance; Upon
hearing of a man's death, the usual
question is, "How much insurance
did he leave?"
Old Age Protection.
Statistics prove that but one man
out of 20 reaches old age with an
estate sufficient to provide for his
daily needs. The only certain way
for the average man to assure the
protection of his family and creat
ing an "estate for it is through a
life insurance policy. It will feed,
clothe, educate and comfort those
left behind. Under the form of en
dowment insurance, the oolicv hold
er if he lives, will 'receive the full
amount upon reaching a specified
age.
The favorite sermon of life in
surance agents is one preached by
the famous divine of the last gen
eration, Rev. T. DeWitt Talraage:
Speaking from ! tbe text found in
Genesis, XII, 34, "Let him appoint
officers over the land and take up
the fifth part of the land oflSgypt
in seven plenteous years," he drew
the conclusion that? Pharoah and
Joseph originated the first insurance
company protecting the Egyptians
against the year of famine.
What Bible Says.
"It was divineljiforganized," he
said. "It had all the advantages of
the 'whole life plan' of the 'endow
ment plan and all other good plans.
We are told that Kew Dr. Anhatki
of Lincolnshire, England, originated I
the first life insurance in 1698. No;
it is as old as the corn cribs of
Egypt, and God himself was the au
thor and originator. If that were
not so I would not take your time
aid mine in a Sabbath discussion of
tys subject' I feel that it is a theme
vital, religious and of infinite im
port the morals of life and fire inV
surance. It seems to me that it is
time -for the pulpit to speak out. But
what does the Bible say in regard .o
this subject? If the Bible favors
the institution, I will favor it; if the
Bibje denounces it, I will denounce
it. In addition to the forecast of
Joseph in the text, I call your atten
tion to Paul's comparison. Here is
one man who, through neglect, fails
to support hjs family while he lives
or after he dies. Here is another
man who abhors th; Scripture and
rejects God. Which of these men
is the. worst? Well, you say the lat
ter. Paul says the former. Paul
says that a man who neglects to
care for his household is more ob
noxious than a man who rejects the
Scripture's. 'He that provideth not
for his own, and especially those of
hi.-: own household, is worse than an
infidel. , -
"Life insurance companies help
most of uvto provide for our fanv
ilies after we are gone But if we
have the money to pay for insurance
and do not have it, we have no right
to expect mercy at ihevhands of God
in the judgment ' s '
X Provide Air Future.
"When men think of their death
tliey are apt to thing of it only in
connection with their spiritual wel-
fai, and not of devastation in the
household which will come because
of their emigration from it. It is
meanly selfishTfor you to be so ab
sorbed in the heaven to which you
aregoing that you forget what is to
become .of your wife and children
after you go. You can go out of
this world not leaving them a dol
lar, and yet die happy if you could
r:ot provide for them. You can trust
them in the hands of God. who owns
all the harvests thoherds and the
flocks; but if you could pay the cost

of a lifa certificate and neglect to do
so, it iff a mean thing for you to go
up to' heaven while they go to the
poor house. You, at death, move
into a mansion, river front, and they
move into two roomi on the. fourth
floor of a tenement house in ,a back
street When they are out sat the
elbows and knees, the thought of
your splendid white robe in heaven
will not keep thein warm. The min
ister may preach a splendid sermon
over your remains, and the quartet
may sing like four angels in the or

Birmingham, Sept. 10. A floral
auto parade in which over 100 gaily
decorated cars took part was de

while enterprising motorcycle po
licemen chased a negro tramp, ar

take him to the city jail... The mo
torcycle officers had been detailed
to head the procession, but, seeing
the negro, forgot about such a trivial
thing as a parede until they had sent
their prisoner away in a patrol,
charged with loitering.
