How Much Life Insurance
Have You?
Have you enough to protect your wife and babies in event of your death? Or havey
you just enough for the Doctor and Undertaker?
A good life insurance policy may mean bread and butter for your loved ones to-
morrow. It may mean the saving of your business. It may mean the lifting of the
mortgage from your home. It DOES mean an ESTATE you are certain of if you keep
it in force—an estate you cannot build in any other way at so small a cost. And remem-
ber. an estate is not what you eat today, but is something you build for tomorrow.
If you haven't sufficient insurance, to that end start NOW by taking a policy with
JEFFERSON STANDARD LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
An Old Line Legal Reserve Company in W hich You Are Absolutely PROTECTED
FOR EXAMPLE—A $10,000.00 POLICY PROVIDES FOR
$1,200.00 per year to you as long as you live, if you become totally disabled before age 60.
$10,000.00 to your beneficiary in case of natural death.
$20,000.00 in event you die during premium paying period of your policy as a result of
an accident.
IT ALSO PROVIDES
That your premium payments cease in case of total and permanent disability, and that
no matter how many years the Company pays you disability, no deductions are made
at your death, and your beneficiary receives the lull face amount of your policy.
You ean get a .policy with all the above provisions before you reach age 41 that,
though you are living at 65 years of age, will pay you the full face amount in cash.
Of course if you die sooner than that age it will be paid to your beneficiary.
our Company writes more than thirty different kinds of policies. In other words,
if its INSURANCE, the JEFFERSON STANDARD WRITES IT. and at rates that you
will find worth your time to investigate. For further particulars, see or call

“OH. CONGRESS!"
Why ia it that nine time* out of ton
these days a suggestion that congress
may relieve a bad situation is greeted
with a resigned and skeptical “Oh,
Congress!"? Half the time there goes
along with the exclamation a look of
amuses! pity for the simple-minded-
; ness of the suggester.
! Congress has no caste with a great
b<»dy of people. It is a thing tolerat-
ed; something we+ave Si> put up with,
like a smoky chimneY—better than no
chimney, perhaps, but a disappointing
arrangement—not what we hoped or
expected it to be.
What is the trouble? Certainly it
is not idleness. Congress is distress-
ingly busy. Certainly it is not lack of
ability. Whatever you may say of
individuals, there is a fairly high level
j of intelligence in both Senate and
House.
But the industry and ability fail to
function directly and simply. Thby
are never centered on getting some
definite piece of national business out
of the way in the promptest anil most
ifficient fashion. Compare the way
j Congress puts through a big under-
taking with the way the Conference
! on the Limitation of Armament tack-
eled and put through its job. It stated j
its case, found what it could agree on j
and agreed! Never once in the three '
months of the conference was the ob- |
jective confused The only question
was how much of the objective could
be obtained. Because all was not pos-
; Bible, the conference did not fall back.
It carried on, took what it could—
agreed—adjourned. A good piece of
business decently done.
But set Congress at such an objec-
tive. it proceeds at once to confuse the I
approaches. Congress detests clear- j
ness, simplicity, the shortest line be-
tween two points. If we have them
it proceeds very promptly to destroy
them, k can be depended upon to:
confuse, never to clarify.
And this is ifot lack of ability to ,
think straight or apply common sense. 1,
If it was their private' business they!
we:e handling nine tenths of them
would not waver. It is the mischevi-
>u- haW of viewing nothing as a
national interest—everything as a ,
paity interest. Politics are u.-e>l to
muddle an i hinder every question that
comes before Congress, however ob-1
v.oils fi:e solution may be. I.edve:
the plainest problem—that it, plain to
a common sense not contaminated by
-political thinking—long enough in'
Cor.giess. and nobody knows what to
t h ink.
N*> K.mv which continually muddles!
out minds is going to keep our respect.
We resent the confusion, the uncer-
tainty. it injects into pressing prob- j
lerr.s that good sense tells us might be I
M-Ived in a reasonable time if pressed]
witii singleness "f purpose. It is two
bodies intent on outwitting one an-
other; in besmearing one another’s
achievements, however respectable; in
