This plan was adopted only after the
greatest possible care. All estimates
were carefully based upon theCarlyle
tables and calculations were made
from actual experience of insurance
companies doing business in this coun
try.
The cost of admission is S12. medi
cal examination fee is $2, semi-annual
dues are $2.50. To pay death losses a
levy will be made for the death on

Li insurance is an important
factor
in our polltieal economy which cannot
be over-estimated. The people are be
coming thoroughly educated in these
matters and will in the future be more
and more disposed to accept life in
surance policies that do insure against
all contingencies and cause of death.
A man wants to feel the same security
and absence of anxiety in reference to
his policy that he would in a govern
ment bond. If a man pays his premi
ums faithfully when he is living he
wants the insurance paid faithfully
when he is dead. The fluctuations of
fortune and the general uncertainties
of life cause enough policies to lapse
during the lifetime of the insured but
if a man perseveres and pays his pre
miums until his death occurs, it is un
just and wrong that there should be
any possible dispute thereafter, ^nd
the knowledge of such a possibility
has kept thousands from insuring.
The indisputable policy of the
Union Mutual Aid Association covers
all objections of this sort. The so
ciety merits the vast patronage it is
receiving from the public. Its officers
and directors are among the best
known business men of Iowa, and
abundantly possessed of the material
that makes success certain.lt has com
plied with the laws of Iowa, and de
posited with the Security Loan and
Trust Company of Des Moines, its
surplus for the protection of its policy
holders.
It guarantees these advantages to
Its members: $2,500 in eventof death,
$1,000 to each at the end of ten years
upon surrender of the policy of insur
ance by living members.

All assessments will be reduced as
membership will justify.
While the association is purely co
operative, and possesses all the ad van
tages of that plan, it is without the us
ual weakness of co-operative insurance
companies as all certificates terminate
at the end of ten years, which is about
the time the effect of a medical exam
ination has worn off, thus experiencing
from one-half to two thirds less deaths
per thousand than any company or as
sociation after they reach the age of
ten years.

Wheat Not "Gone to the Dogs.'
A latter jus* in from a prairie farmer, exhibita
peat fear on tbo part of himself and neighbors aa
to the fntare of the wheat market, and he aaka "if
the wheat crop as a source of proflt for American
farmer*, has not gone to the bow-wows." There
are multitudes of others in the same aaxioos state
of mind, broaght on by the present very low
prices aa compared with a few past years, anl re
parts of future strong competition from India
A astral ia, Southeastern Europe, etc.
It is true that we are in part realising what
this pen predicted two and three years past, viz
that ifthe speculators were not choked off, the
natural export would be checked, and the unnat
ural high prices maintained would sitmulate the
development of supplies from distant regions.
(As we write this, the telegraph brings word of
the financial failure of one of the great speculat
ors who was the leader in the most unfortunate
grain pools ever started—unfortunate for fanners
and for the entire country. Few tears will be
shed
OTcr
this Keene ehastisemant—or that a maa
who in snch ways got togettor a large part of his
seven millions, should now go dowa uader a call
for a paltry few thousands.)
Wheat is not going out of profitable

"Liver is king." We have seen the
foregoing statement in a dozen differ

liver is really king, that nobody at a
