THE I. A. A. RECORD 



THE race for the championship of 

 the Illinois Farm Bureau Baseball 

 League is rapidly narrowing down to a 

 few teams as the end of the preliminary 

 schedules approaches. 



Cass and Sangamon counties, cham- 

 pions in their respective divisions, 

 played the first intersectional game of 

 the season at Beardstown on July 30 

 when Sangamon won a hard-fought 

 game 10 to 6. These two teams are 

 evenly matched as seen by the fact that 

 the winner made 12 hits while Cass 

 made 1 1 . Seven errors turned in by the 

 Cass county players were largely re- 

 sponsible for the difference in the score. 



As we go to press, Sangamon county 

 reports that it defeated Cass. in a close 

 game at lUiopolis on Aug. 6. Score 1 1 

 to 10. Cass made 6 errors, Sangamon 

 3. Sangamon now goes on in the semi- 

 finals, Cass is eliminated. 



Carroll county won the champion- 

 ship in Division I, Knox in Division II, 

 Woodford in Division III, and Logan 

 in Division V. McDonough county had 

 several games yet to play before the 

 closing date for preliminary schedules 

 on August 16, but it has a fast hold on 

 the division championship. LaSalle and 

 Kankakee are fighting for the honors in 

 Division VI. 



Woodford and Logan counties are 

 expected to hook up in their first semi- 

 final series. Knox and Logan counties 

 will go to bat for the western Illinois 

 championship, and Carroll will play 

 either LaSalle or Kankakee county when 

 these two teams decide which shall rep- 

 resent the division in the semi-final 

 play-off. 



Knox county upset the dope in its 

 division when it came from behind and 

 defeated Henry county twice in suc- 

 cession in the last two games of the 

 schedule. Henry county looked like a 

 winner but Knox was gaining strength 

 steadily following the first few games 

 and developed a punch that changed the 

 situation and placed the team at the 

 top. 



Henderson county whitewashed War- 

 ren in the game at Monmouth on Au- 

 gust 2 by the one-sided score of 20 to 

 0. The Henderson county pitchers al- 

 lowed only two hits, while the boys 

 from the county bordering the Missis- 

 sippi hit the Warren county hurlers 

 freely throughout the game.

CHARLES A. EWING, Decatur. 

 Illinois, is the new president and 

 P. O. Wilson, formerly manager of the 

 Cincinnati Producers' Commission As- 

 sociation, is the new manager of the re- 

 organized National Live Stock Market- 

 ing Association. 



Mr. Ewing, a member of the Macon 

 County Farm Bureau, is well known in 

 that county where for many years he 

 has operated several thousand acres of 

 land devoted to grain production and 

 the feeding of cattle and hogs. 



His past affiliation with agriculture 

 dates back to the appointment to the 

 Committee of '15 which brought forth 

 the Producer co-operative program in 

 1920. Mr. Ewing served as a member 

 of that committee. Although trained 

 as a lawyer, he has devoted V'.s life to 

 farming interests, and he is firmly con- 

 vinced that farm relief, so called, will 

 be obtained through the farmer's own 

 effort to organize and handle his own 

 business.

By L. A. Williams 

 Right Time to Die, When? 

 When Is Ready Money Most Needed? 



WHEN is the best time for a man 

 to die? The answer is of course 

 difficult. I would say no time is best. 

 There are, however, times that are worse 

 than others for a final walkout. 



Today is the wrong time for a farm- 

 er to drop out of the picture. ^The 

 estate he leaves is only worth about 

 3 5 cents on the dollar. Indeed, he 

 would leave such a mixup in estate 

 matters that the heirs would be lucky, 

 after forced sales and probate, if any- 

 thing was left to count on. 



A farmer needs life insurance at this 

 low ebb of valuation worse than he -may 

 ever need it again. A cash estate guar- 

 anteed to his family means ready money 

 to live on, to pay bills with and to en- 

 able them to hold on till property val- 

 ues are better. It means leaving some- 

 thing for the children in many cases 

 where without life insurance nothing 

 would be left. 



It most certainly is the wrong time 

 to die in the agricultural world, but it 

 is also the wrong time to go unpro- 

 tected. Life insurance is needed now 

 like fire insurance in a dry time with 

 your buildings next to a powder fac- 

 tory. 



The whole picture is this: Your chief 

 interest in life is to create an estate for 

 yourself and family. Your business with 

 which you hope to create that estate is 

 bad. Therefore, underwriting that es- 

 tate by taking life insurance makes cer- 

 tain that estate on a systematic basis 

 of premium deposits which though not 

 easy to make are far easier than leaving 

 undone one of the important jobs of 

 life, namely, creating an estate. .. *. 



The fruits of your effort come to you 

 if you live, for at the age of retirement 

 you may have an old age income from 

 your insurance should you live. You 

 will not have to die to get the money.

comes to his new position with a record 

 of nearly six years of successful opera- 

 tion of a Cincinnati Producers' com- 

 mission association. He was born and 

 reared on a Vigo county, Indiana, 

 farm, graduated from Purdue Univer- 

 sity, and served in his home state as a 

 county adviser.
