Tlie year 1913, just closed, ha? lt?*?. ti
a good year for Greenwood, and while
her growth has not been phenomlnal,
it ha? hoon ?toady, substantial und
marked. The same spirit or co-oper
ation has hoon manifested throughout
the year that has always been shown
in Greenwood and this ls tho spirit
that has caused Greenwood tb be look
ed upon as "the co-operative city." No
factionalism is ever displayed when a
public service ro be rendered-it
ls a catto of all together, pull.
Tho mont notoworthy achievement?
of the past year have been as follows:

Annual Premium $54.60
1913 Dividends $67.24
Suppose you had been born in 1831 ; that fifteen years later you insured ir. the Mutual Bene
fit for $3,500.00-on the ordinary Life Plan-the policy calling for an annual premium of $54.60.
but, that instead of your paying the company anythnig in 1913 you received a dividend of $12.64
in excess of hte premium. Would you not feel that you had been rather fortunate irr the selection of
your company?
"Unreasonable suppositions," do I hear you usny? The Mutual Benefit has made just such a
record as this, the particulars of which are embraced in our leaflet, "Record of the Oldest Policy,"
with which I wish you to be familiar.
Have you ever asked yourselves the question: "Would my -Jeath cause a material loss of in
come io my family?" If an analysis of your affairs compels an affirmative answer, your families
nerc'i additional protection, which you can best secue trhrough a Muautl Benefit policy.
If this is a new one on you, simply fill out and mail to any of the undersigned the enclosed cou
pon-now, and while the matter is fresh in your minds.
Yours very truly,

"lt ls our belief that social justice

"Believing as we do, that a division
of our earnings between capital and
labor is unequaled, we havo sought-a

thc best, but we !iave felt impolled
to make'a stnrt and make lt now. Wi

a magazine, in excusing himself for
not practicing'what lfe- preached, that
'the movement toward the ?bettering

Xcw Era of Distribution.
New York. Jan. 8.-Reiterating hla
declaration that ho would confider it
a disgrace to die without distributing
his millions, Andre\. Carnegie in an
Interview today asserted that the Ford
profit-sharing pian forecasts a noto
era of more equal distribution of
wealth.
".Millionaires sro more and more
realising that surplus wealth is but a
trust to bc administered for the .'rood
of their fellows," tald the little "froa
Madter" nt his Fifth Avenue mansion.
. "1 congratulase Mr. Ford upon
making such a record. Je ia indeed
a genius, and this, splendid gift to his
employes foretells the* coining ^of thc
day when the distribution of ?.*ealth
will be far more oqual than lt ever
