WELCOME TO STATE FAIR 



Farm Bureau Day Set for August 23 



"ALTHOUGH we set aside Friday, August 

 -^*- 23, as 'Farm Bureau Day' at the Illinois 

 State Fair, I like to think of every day of this 

 agricultural exposition as a day that farmers 

 and their families can enjoy, and call their 

 own," writes Director Clarence F. Buck of the 

 Illinois Department of Agriculture in a message 

 of welcome to Illinois Farm Bureau members. 

 "We want your organization to feel per- 

 fectly free to plan such entertainment features 

 or demonstrations as you may choose to pre- 

 sent. However, we heartily agree with you 

 in that there is abundant entertainment now 

 provided, without any added features that 

 would demand considerable time and effort on 

 the part of your membership— time and effort 

 that, as you say, would be spent more profitably 

 in fhe enjoyment of established features of the 

 fair. 



"Your ideas of conducting a restful, home- 

 like and comfortable headquarters will un- 

 doubtedly meet with the genuine approval of 

 the public. Such a haven as your association 

 will provide will be a boon to visitors who be- 

 come fatigued from the exertion of viewing 



the many enlightening features of the fair. 



"Voicing the wishes of the entire branch of 

 Illinois state service that conducts the exposi- 

 tion — from Governor Emmerson on down to 

 the workmen who will assist in making pro- 

 visions for Farm Bureau headquarters — it is a 

 pleasant privilege to bid the agricultural public 

 welcome through the agency that your associa- 

 tion represents." 



The entire executive committee of the I. A. 

 A. will entrain for Springfield to attend Farm 

 Bureau Day following its regular monthly 

 meeting on August 22. Many of the staff 

 members also will attend. 



Exhibits showing the services and activities 

 of the Association will occupy part of the Farm 

 Bureau tent. Last year the Association spon- 

 sored a joint debate between representatives of 

 the Democratic and Republican national com- 

 mittees on the agricultural planks in the party 

 platforms. Senator Caraway from Arkansas 

 and Congressman Dickinson from Iowa were 

 the debators, and in spite of cold disagreeable 

 weather talked to a large number of people in 

 the grand-stands. .1

Insurance 



By L. A. WUliams 



<<pOUNTRY LIFE'S" 20 year en- 

 ^ dowment policy now available, 

 is very attractive to children. At the 

 younger ages children do not attach 

 the protection value to life insurance 

 that they will in future years when 

 they take on added responsibilities. 



most he could pay in in 20 years is 

 about $800, that he is guaranteed $1,- 

 000 at the end of twenty years, and 

 that on top of this $200 profit is cer- 

 tain of annual dividends which will in- 

 crease his profits tremendously, he 

 takes a great interest in watching his 

 total cash worth increase from year 

 to year. 



It is, therefore, the lure of saving 

 money which is the main appeal. Par- 

 ents appreciate how difficult it is to 

 maintain a savings account. They ap- 

 preciate the fact that a bank cannot 

 come to them and say, "Now, you 

 should deposit so much regularly." 

 But the Insurance Company comes 

 with a bill or a statement, and keeps 

 after the insured, and sees that 

 regular deposits are made. 



In later years, when he has added 

 responsibilities, he will increase the 

 amount of insurance he carries. He 

 will then take straight life insurance. 

 You have taught him the value of pro- 

 tection by starting him on the first 

 endowment policy, and having the ap- 

 preciation of that contract teach him 

 the lesson of old line protection. The 

 child whom you start on a $1,000 pol- 

 icy may carry $25,000 or $50,000 of 

 life insurance in the next twenty 

 years, where you today consider that 

 $5,000 or $10,000 of life insurance 

 was a large amount. 



When a child appreciates that the 



On Wrong Side of Road 



WHERE A HIGHWAY was con- 

 structed of concrete with gravel 

 on either side, a driver who continued 

 to drive with his left wheels on the 

 gravel on the left side until he collided 

 with another vehicle, was held negli- 

 gent as matter of law. 



Public liability and property damage 

 in the Illinois Agricultural Mutual In- 

 surance Co. protects the policy holder 

 against even when his own negligence 

 is responsible for the accident. 



Life insurance eliminates chance 

 from the life program of the farmer 

 by guaranteeing an estate regardless 

 of prosperity. Incidentally, should he 

 arrive at age 65, having carried in- 

 surance as a gruarantee of an estate, 

 he does not arrive at 65 penniless, re- 

 gardless of ill fortune. He sees the 

 value of his life insurance whether it 

 be straight life, 20 Payment Life, or 

 20 year endowment.
