Life: underwriting ‘is’ a highly systematized, specialized science. The men who are in it are big fellows, boys with a broad vision. They are men with a high code of ethics, possessed of all the qualifications that make for good citizenship. Life insurance salesmanship is a square game; a man can’t remain in it long unless he plays the game clean and straight, and there’s always a cor- dial welcome in Bismarck for fellows, of this type. 4 SHOWING TRUE FORESIGHT f A’ GOOD JOKE- It is certainly a good joke on the fondly fanci- ful fanatics of the Lenine-Trotzky regime who de- cided to institute the four-hour work day with as much pay as the workers might want, that they shave now come:to industrial conscription. HUSBAND WANTED One of the reasons, perhaps, why congress does so little is because it is'asked to do so many things. : nation. That is theory. In fact he is elected to do something else, if you believe the mountains of letters he gets. Just recently Congressman Dave O’Connell of Brooklyn, N. Y., got this in his morning mail: “Dear Congressman: Don’t forget I am a widow and if there is any single man now on your list don’t forget me.” Now how in the world is a congressman going to keep his mind on taxes and bonuses, and tar- iffs, if he has*to be.substituting for Dan Cupid?

It may not be Bismarck businessmen who have’ invested lib- erally in the shares . of the new Slope livestock company have shown commendable foresight and enterprise, coupled with a proper amouny ‘of pub- lic spirit.
