’SPLENOIO SETTLEMENT I
ME 61 THE UNION
CENTRAL LIFE INS. CO.
July 17, 1917.
Mr. L. M. Hansford. Agent,
Union Central Life Ins. Co.,
Americus, Georgia.
Dear Sir: It wish to thank your
company, through you for the rete pt|
of a check toffi y for $2,033.18 in settle-
W-t of my policy No. 192,567, issued
uy the Union Central Life Ins. Co., on I
July 15, 1899.
This was a policy for $2,000.00 writ-!
ten at the regular 20-pay life rate, the,
company retaining the surplus to ma- I
ture the policy as an endowment. To |
say that I am delighted to have this
20-pay life policy, mature as a cash
endowment in 18 years, expresses my I
feelings but mildly.
During all the years that I have had !
this protection, I have paid in prem
iums only $1,621.08. I have your check
for $2,033.18.
I am glad to say I have two other,
policies in the Union Central, written '
on the annual dividend plan. Both'
have paid liberal dividends from the
first, increasing with each year, so that
now, though I am older, my insurance
costs me much less than it did when I
took it cut some years ago.
■ I gladly comment your splendid com
pany to all, and with best wishes, I
lam. Very truly,
JAMES A. PINKSTON.
The above settlement of Mr. Pink
ston’s policy shows very forcibly the'
value to policyholders of high interest I
earnings on a life insurance compan-l
ies’ assets.
The Union Central Life Ins. Co., has!
earned on its_assets an average an
nual rate of ',<6.44 for the past twenty
years.
This splendid interest income made
possible such a fine settlement, and
provides largely the funds that enable'
The Union Central to pay 'such liberaT,
dividends on its annual dividend noli-
i
cies.
The company now writes annual div
idend policies only, and every policy
holder receives annually his policy’s;
full share cf the surplus.
For lowest net cost and most liberal!
contract, buy Union Central Life Ins.
Co.’s annual dividend policies. All ap
pt oved plans.

HAD A TEST FOR SHARKS AT
MOUTH OF SAVANNAH RIVER
SAVANNAH, Ga., July 18.—After it'
had been reported to Co! Archibald ’
Campbell, commander of Fort Screven,'
that one of his men stationed at Fort'
Screven, had been bitten by a large'
fish, presumably a he resolved j
to test/ out the waters at the mouth of.
the river to see if large sharks were'
really numerous there, especially since!
Wallace J. Pierpont, Jr., had been
attacked, by a large shark a short dis
tance away.
The opportunity for the test came'
when two old animals at the fort, a*
horse and mule, became unfit for.
farther government service. Rather j
than sell the faithful, animals to some :
junk dealer, Col. Campbell ordered j
them shot. Burying is out of the ques-!
tion near Fort Freemont, because wa-I
ter is found almost as soon as the
spade touches the ground. Hence the
shark bait.
The two animals were attached to a
long line from the fort boat and were 1
towered across the mouth of the river, i
For more than two hours Col. Camp- j
bell waited for a “strike” but none I
came. After covering nearly every in
let near the mouth of the river and !
never getting a nibble Col. Campbell |
concluded the Savannah river and ad- .
jacent sound sharks were not so num
erous or so dangerous as rumor would
have one believe.

Conserve Life By
Conserving Food
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
During the coming year, and per
haps for several years, the United
States will be called upon to supply
the food requirements of her allies
as well as her own civilian popula
tion. Above all it is imperative that
I the armies have sufficient supplies,
even though the folks at home suffer
hunger. Only by each person doing
I his share can the war be brought to
1 a successful conclusion. The soldier
| boys do their part in fighting a ruth
-1 less foe; your part is to produce and
‘ conserve the food supplies. Your duty
| is:
1. To grow staple fiuit, garden and
1 farm crops. Let new and untried crops
j alone.
2. To organize community farm la-
I bor so as to utilize farm machinery to
| the best advantage. A traction en
gine in a community should be kept
busy. Business men should club to-
i gether to furnish machinery to farm
-1 ers who cannot afford to purchase at
! present.
■ 3. To assist the Demonstration and
I Canning Club Agents in their work.
Every family should can or evaporate
sufficient vegetables and fruits for
their own needs. In addition a hand
some profit may b® derived from the
surplus.
4. Each community should take
I stock of its resources and require
ments. Strive to make your commun
ity independent. Organize a local de
, sense league.
Chicken Makes
Remarkable Record
What is believed to be a World’s
Record has been made by a Barred
Plymouth Rock pullet hatched January
Ist. This pullet began laying April
25th, 3 months and 25 days after
I hatchihg. Another pullet began lay
ing at 4 months of age. These birds
were bred, hatched and fed to lay at
the Poultry Division of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
Future Prosperity and
Diversification of Crops
Georgia stands second in the pro
duction of cotton. She can hold her
1 place in the total value of farm crops
if her people profit by the opportune
j ities she offers. Though her planters
! may suffer temporary loss by diversi
i fication they will more than balance
| the account in the increased produc
! tion of dairy products, beef and pork,
I poultry, peanuts, velvet beans, pota
i toes, fruits, vegetables and cereals.
Evaporated Fruits
and Vegetables
Miss Lois Dowdle, Assistant State Su
pervisor Home Economics.
I The can shortage this year threat
| ens to be acute, large manufacturers
I claiming a shortage of 100,000,000. Un
. der ordinary circumstances it would
be possible for a family to can suf
cient fruits and vegetables for their
1 own use, thus liberating the supply
I from the packers for shipment to the
i allies. Home canning now seems to
I be out of the question and the prob
lem is how to best preserve foods for
I winter use. The solution is the home
evaporator. All kimjs of vegetables, in
! eluding potatoes, beans, corn, peas,
1 pumpkin and the more delicate root
1 crops may be dried, in which condi
| tion this material will keep ind-efinite
! ly. Evaporated vegetables and fruits,
• when properly prepared, are more pal
| atable and nutritious than canned
goods. In addition there is the lower
j cost of preparation and the ease of
I storing over winter. A home evapora
-1 tor may be made by any one who
, knows how to handle carpenter tools
and at a very low first cost. Plans
for construction and directions for
evaporation may be had from your
■ Canning Club Agent. Make it a point
I to see her at cnce.
Fearful Destruction of Property
J. B. Berry, Professor of Forestry, Ga.
State College of Agriculture.
Every year there is a loss to the
state of between one and two millions
of dollars as a result of forest fires,
three-quarters of which are the re
sult of carelessness and could be
easily prevented. Over half the fires
were started with the object of im
proving grazing conditions, and yet
the best information available proves
conclusively that annual surface fires
decrease the grazing capacity of the
range, since the valuable grasses are
totally destroyed and only the more
worthless grasses and weeds develop.
About thirty per cent of the fires orig
inated in the clearing of farm land,
running beyond control because start
ed at the wrong season of the year,
or because no preventative precautions
were takn either in the breaking of a
fire line or in arranging for a force
of fire fighters. If these fires could
have been eliminated the people of
the state would be over a million dol
lars richer in standing timber, lumber,
cross-ties, fences, ‘ mills and farm
buildings. Never use fire with the ob
ject of improving the range, never
burn over brushland during the dry
season; always provide fire lines and
“watchers” when necessary to use fire.
