Farmers Perplexed 



Over New Insurance 



Vaniman Explains How to Withdraw 

 From Provisions of Act 



\ 1 ANY tarniers who are carryini; work- 

 -^ * "^ man's compensation insurance don't know 

 wliat to do. I hey ha\e hied a written elec- 

 tion (J statement acceptnij; provisions ot C om- 

 pensatitm Act) with the Industrial C^ommission 

 to ct)me under the provisions ot the C'ompen- 

 sation Act. The only way they can >;et «)ui 

 trtmi under the provisions oi the act is to file 

 a notice ot withdrawal with the Industrial 

 Commission. Notice of withdrawal must be 

 filed 60 days prior to the end of the calendar 

 year in order to terminate liability under the 

 act b> Januarv Isi. 



How to Find Out 



Most iarniers do nt>t know that they filed 

 written election to come under the provi- 

 sions ot the Compensation Act when they 

 tiMkk out the compensation insurance. ^'ritc 

 to the Industrial Commission, 3()0 \il'. Adams 

 St., Chicago. They will furnish you the in- 

 lormation as to whether you have made a 

 written election to come tinder the act, if you 

 do not know. 



Does Not Terminate Liability 



Just because your workman's compensation 

 nsurance has expired dt>es not terminate your 

 ability, if y*)u have filed a written election 

 (> come under the act. Such farmers cannot 

 et out from under the provisions oft the act 

 ntil January 1, and in order to do this must 

 le notice; of withdrawal prior to November 

 . or ^<t d.i\ N prior to the end of the calendar 



Employers Liability Insurance 



I arm employers are interested in employers 

 lability insurance that will protect them

 mated months of hired labor and is $5 for each

 is $10, and the p<»licy fee $^, making; the 

 n inimum initial payment %2^ . 



In case ot cancellation the premium deposit 

 and surplus share is returned, by the insured 

 piyini; the cost ot the insurance. It is esti- 

 ir ated that the cost of the insurance will be

 previous month was noted ainom; poIicvh4»hlet'. 

 in the Illinois Agricul 

 lural Mutual Insurance 

 < ompany. This marked 

 reductitm in mishaps is 

 seen by \'erntni \'ani- 

 man, director of insur- 

 ance scrxice, as a direct 

 result of the "No Auto 

 Accidents in Seplem 

 her" campaign. 



"Since we ha\e hat! 

 no reports ot acculents 

 to date from ilu- lol- 

 lowini; counties; ( inn 

 herland, Douglas. I.f- 

 fingham. b r a n k 1 i n.

 Monroe, Pope, Richland, Scoti, and Wayne," 

 states Vaniman. "they are Considered members 

 \^i the 'No Auio Accidents in September Club.' 



Vaniman attended the 1 Sth annual meeting 

 ot ihc National Satety Council held in Chicago 

 the week of October 1. He states that the 

 dominant tliought i>f the meeting was to create 

 in tlie nnnds of the public not only in accident 

 prevention consciousness by continually calling 

 to drivers' attention ways and means of pre- 

 venting accidents, but also to emphasize the 

 tremendous savings made po*silile by reducing 

 loss of property through accident prevention. 



Acc«)rdmg to the National Safety Council, 

 September, October and .November are the high 

 months in the number of autt> accident deaths. 

 I he tollowing figures indicate the number ot 

 deaths due to auto accidents during each day 

 for the following months:

I he following slogans are used with good 

 etiect in accident prevention campaigns; 



1. ".Most accidents can be explained in a 

 sentence — 'He met a fool'." 



-. "Success is a haliit. so is *.atet\." 



'^. "Why lake unnecessary ch.uKes-' Acci- 

 dents profit no one." 



4. "Prevention of accidents iv prevenii<»n 

 siittering. Why not be careful?"

Record Ads Pay 



I he Illinois Agricultural AssiK:iation RtC- 

 t)l<I) has proved tt> be the . best advertising 

 medium used b\ subsidiaries and assix^iated 

 companies of the I. A. A. as indicated by 

 coupon returns. 



Consistent advertising in the Rl CORD has 

 assisted in more than doublin.t; the number of 

 policyholders in the Illinois Agricultural Mu- 

 tual Insurance Company durinp the past year. 



September w as a rectird month with 1 ,02 5 

 applications for auto insurance received. 



Tlie steady inllu\ of applications in Country 

 1 lie Insurance C'onipany is seen as a result of 

 more activity by the general agents assisted by 

 consistent advertising to ifll il^e meniber about 

 his (»w n comp.my. ■*
