September High Month 



QEPTEMBER was the greatest month in the 

 history of the Illinois Agricultural Mutual 

 Insurance Company; 1023 applications were re- 

 ceived at the office. Champaign County led the 

 state by sending in 82 applications; Logan 

 County was second with 5 1 applications. Roy 

 Mitchell, of Champaign County, wrote 76 ap- 

 plications in September. Total applications to 

 date 17,775. 



Fanners are appreciating the value of auto- 

 mobile insurance. A party in Freeport who is 

 making $25 per week has to pay $40 per 

 month for 20 years on account of an auto 

 accident. "Your own company with insurance 

 at cost" appeals to every thinking farmer. 



Insurance 



The double indemnity feature recently 

 adopted by the Country Life Insurance Com- 

 pany pays twice the face of the policy in the 

 event of accidental death. This additional 

 benefit is sold at a rate of $1.50 per thousand 

 additional premium. ■,,.."■■ v \ 



Great Convenience 



Illinois Agricultural Mutual Ins. Co., 

 Chicago, Illinois. 



"I wish to thank you for the very 

 courteous and fair treatment you accord- 

 ed me in having my car repaired after 

 it was wrecked this summer. 



"It was indeed a great convenience to 

 have you advance me money by tele- 

 graph while I was in Pennsylvania, and 

 furthermore it was very gratifying to 

 make an insurance adjustment without a 

 single bit of quibbling about any of the 

 items or charges on the bill. 



"You may rest assured that I shall 

 continue to be a booster for the Illinois 

 Agricultural Mutual Insurance Com- 

 pany." 



Irvin Funk, 

 ■"■"" .'■■' • ' LaSalle County, III. 



4 WELL known minister of a great city 

 '^^- church asserted recently that a moral life 

 must be its own reward. i 



People there are who are good, practice the 

 golden rule, and obey the ten commandments 

 hoping to be blessed with material things for 

 their efforts. • l j 



There is meagre evidence to support the be- 

 lief that prosperity and exemplary living go 

 hand in hand. Ill fortune befalls nuny a 

 devout person as it did Job. Others attain 

 wealth and position whilst breaking the lawi 

 of both God and man. 



The good a man does lives after him. But 

 his only pay may be the self-satisfaction that 

 comes from helping posterity. The world 

 uses his invention or contribution, forgets about 

 him who gave it. 



Observers are scanning the agricultural 

 horizon, wondering about the future of the 

 general farm organizations. The Farm Bureau 

 in Illinois, in other states, has spread the gospel 

 of better farming, given birth to new organ- 

 izations — co-operatives — nursed them along 

 through the fledgling stage, seen many fly off 

 never to return, never again to recognize their 

 parents. Life is that way. j 



We soon tire of the old no matter how 

 useful. It's the spirit of the age in which we 

 are living. A new organization full of promise 

 looks better than the old one, tried and true 

 though it may be. , 



The next decade promises to witness a great 

 awakening in co-operative marketing. Big co- 

 operatives are being organized. The Farm 

 Bureau (also other farm groups) is furnishing 

 and will continue to furnish much of the 

 leadership, the initiative, the energy to get 

 them under way. 



"Will the Farm Bureau by so doing dig its 

 own grave?" asks one editor. The answer 

 rests with the man on the farm, his vision and 

 understanding, with the service rendered by 

 the organization and its staff too. Will the 

 goose that lays the golden eggs be deserted 

 for her dazzling fruit? Thinking farmers 

 will not allow it. i i 



Granted that the parent organization must 

 continue its productiveness, changing with the 

 times, adapting itself to the new order of 

 things. Co-operatives will not solve all the 

 farm problems. They can not provide for all 

 the needs of farmers. Some of them inevitably 

 will fail. New ones must replace these. The 

 parent organization will stand ready to help. 

 It must and will be preserved. ,
