HALF MILLION CAMPAIGN
We have determined to make July
1916 the biggest month's business
we have ever done. To do this we
MUST write $500,000 insurance
during the month. That's a great
big pile but we are going to it.
Just GOT to do it.
And having decided to write this
amount, why it will be no trouble
for us to succeed. The popularity
of our contracts, the wonderful
features which modern life insur
ance has adopted for the benefit,
convenience and safety of policy
holders are found PAR EXCEL
LENCE in Philadelphia Life policies.
This makes them co wherever our hustling repre
sentatives have the opportunity of showing them.
This is why we are going to write to that HALF
MILLION in July.
Get in the band wagon by securing one of the best
life insurance policies in all America. Our feature
policy for the July campaign has a special dis
ability clause which pays itself up automatically in
case you become totolly disabled, and the face of the
policy is paid to you in annual installments during
YOUR OWN LIFETIME into your OWN HANDS.

WHY THE COl'XTY AGENT
Some Idea of Ilia Iutue Things He
Can uvl Cannot Do.
Extension Farm News.
Many people do not have a clear
idea of the function of the county
agent in farm demonstration work.
There are some things which he ran
do and should do. and there are some
things which he can't do and should
not do; there are things which he
knows and things whch he does not
know.
Briefly defined, the county farm
demonstration agent is a man of
practical farm experience, usually
with some agricultural education,
working under the joint direction of
the farmer. State Pepartment of Ag
ricluture, A. M. College and na
tional Department of Agriculture, to
assist In determining the best Fit
cultural practices to be applied for
the territory in which he works.
A county agent is not primarily an
"adviser." although he does give ad
vice. He is not an expert on farm
topics, although he may really be an
! expert on some phase of farm woik.
He is an agent, however, that prc

the dominant presidential campaign
issue at this time is the policy ol

While other issues may later obscure
it. just now it is generally admitted
by leaders in both parties that Mexi

lief that it will be one of the control

election day. The Mexican situation
by common agreement has for the
time being passed from the realm of
statesmanship and scholarship into
that of politics. The Republicans, in
a general way. hold that the Presi

can policy, no matter whether there
is a war or not. while the Democrats
claim that, in either event, the Presi
dent will benefit as a result
The Kepublican idea is that if a
war comes it will be exceedingly un
popular and that it will immediately
dispose of the Democratic claim that
the President has kept the country

information for them and to help
them to make their purchases aril
sales in the best way possible. Al
though merchants and various ether
business nun contribute funds to the
support of farm demonstration work,
yet they do not direct the work. They
simply contribute money for the pros
perity of the whole country.
The county agent is not employed
to milk every farmer's cow or to
plow his fields. He is to help them
learn bow to do both to the best ad
vantage. As to what a county agent can or
should do, there is scarcely no stat
ing the matter. The field of agricul
ture is so bread and so varied that a
county agent does not know all of
his duties in a county until he pets
into the county, travels over it ami
becomes acquainted with condition?
there.' Of course, there are certain
principles which every county agent
adheres to, but the application o!
thee principles end other feature:
of the work which he may take up
will depend on local conditions.
The county agent should be to the
agricultural interests cf a county
what the superintendent of education
is to the educational Interests, and
what the pastor Is to those under his
(are. The position ofa county np'tit.
therefore, is a largo and important
one. His opportunities are limited
only by his ability and knowledge of
better farming methods. He must
study the needs of Ills county, be
able to determine the remedies to ap
ply, and then get the job done.
The county agent should bo, and in
most cases is, a practical as well as
an educated farmer, who through
personal work Is able to serure re
sults that have never been obtained
before through Impersonal help. That
Is, he represents both the fanner and
the educator. He U in touch with
both, co-operates with them in the
application of the most successful
methods of agriculture.
The first work of the county agent
Is that of increased yields and the
profitable production of farm crops.
This is the basis of agricultural;
wealth, and that on which rests a
hither civilization. At the same time
the county agent is interested In and
helps promote the social, moral and
even spiritual welfare of the people
among whom he works. To "do this he
must have the people organized. He
must bring them together and reach
a number at one time in order that
he may reach the wholo of the peo
ple in a county.
The Grace of Humility.
Chrhtian Advocate.
Wo often hear people complaining
that they are not appreciated; the
papers do not puhli: h their mighty
works; the church does not recog
nize their merits; the community
does not elect them to office. Many
of these disappointed men are prom
inent In Christian churches. Where
is modesty? Where is meekness?
Where Is the spirit of the Mas ter? .
A few days ago a boy seven years
of age fell from a pier Into the East
River and a lady who saw his peril
ran for help. The first person she
met was a neatly drersed gentleman
who had Just landed in New York
from a New Haven beat. He dropped
his suitcase, plunged Into the water
and succeeded in getting the boy
;iboard a sard barge. A patrolman
found them on the barpe and asked
the name of the heroic rescuer. His
reply was:
"That U not necessary. Just show
me a rl1(,p where I can change my
clothes; that is all I want."
He was led to a nearby seaman's
lodging house, changed his clothes,
stuffing the wet suit into his grip,
but steadfastly refused to reveal his
Identity.
"I only did my duty," said he.
"only a little thing, unworthy of any
notice in the papers or public
praise."
Blessed Is the man who can ren
der heroic service beautifully. To
murmur and complain because our
services are not appreciated and we
do not receive honorable mention is
not beautiful.
