It is living history that might well take the place of dead Rome, Greece and Babylon in the education of the youth. Its lesson is not that of bloody acquisition, but of the triumphs of patient endurance, indomitable per severance and mighty effort for growth and progress, Fill the young up with the grand things east of the Alleghanies, if you will, Then send them to see the sun kiss the Pacific good night, that they may know what their country is. | | | QUESTIONS AND . or any question of ta 4 tion by writing to The Question democracy.

It was along about that time that hard coal was used only for paving Pennsylvania roads. No one suspected that it would burn—until a blacksmith absent- mindedly shoveled some of it into his forge. Travel was none too comfort- able. Pullman had a wild dream of ease for passengers. When he put out his first sleeping car, it was so crude that the porter used hatchet and nails in making up the berths. Enthusiastic guests on that eventful trip had bought a gold-headed cane to be pre- sented to Pullman the next morn- ing. After riding all night in his sleeper, they changed their minds, He never got the cane. The gent who began calling them ‘the good old days” was born later. He didn’t live thru the past—which looks better at a distance, Future generations will look back pityingly at our most luxurious devices and call them crude.

But if the wind blows the vessel around in a circle so that the cable wraps itself about the fluke, the anchor pulls out of the sand. Hence the growing preference for an anchor so constructed that it can- not foul. Insurance Companies are like anchors. Some “hold” in calm weather only, while others can be relied upon to weather any storm. Perhaps you are not expert in the mat- ter of insurance anchors. We are. When you entrust your insurance to any of us, we tie it to an anchor that cannot foul no matter how hard or in what direction the wind may blow.
