IN T5) H . T What is safer than a National Bank Note- Nothing. Why is a National Bank Note accepted without (uestion in1 any part of tlhe coutry m whieb it may r hi: te Sitil because it is secured by a deposite with the Government. As Safe as a National Bank Note. A policy in the Creensboro Lire Insurance Company is as safe a National Bank Note because it is secured by a deosit or its entire reserve with the Insurance Department of North Carolina. Every policy issued by tie Greensboro Lfe caries this certileate above the signature and seal of the Insurance Commissioner: -This Poliey is re-istered rnd secured bv Iledge or bonds, stoclis or securities deposited with this dc partment as provided by low. A National Bank Note is secured by a deposit of Government Bonds. A policy in the Greensboro Life is secured by a deposit of the entire Legal Reserve, the Legal Reserve being the funds provided for the 1aturing Of all polices. The Difference to Policy=olders. The difference to policy holders in a Life Insurance C'ompany depositing the Legal Reserve and one that does not deposit the Legal Reserve is practically the difference between a man holdi:-g a Nationd aBank Note and a u.an who is merely a depositor in a. National Bank. So long as the bank is solvent, the deposit is good: but whether the bank is solvent or not. the National Bank Note is good because of the bank's deposit with the Government. The note of a National Bank continues to circulate as currency and is redeemable by the Government, even after the bank may have failed. The Law of North Carolina. The Greensboro Life onerates under the Registratioa Law of Forth Carolina. TIi.s hnv prescribes the kind of investments Life insurance Companies ma'y make and stipulates the companies availing themselves of the advantage of this law shall deposit with the Insurance Commissioner the net value of all policies in force. Under such a law. governing the investmen: of funds and their custody, solvency is absolu-ely guaranteed. The funds of the Company cannot be squandered in extravagrant management or invested in doulbt-'i securities. Alwy TVUShe Leaeder. Since beginning business the Greensboro Life has ever been the acknowledged leader of all of the Life Insurance Companies operating in its territory. The Greensboro Life not only leads in volume of business. but also in liberality and attractiveness of policy contracts. During its first four weeks in business (24 working days) the Greensboro Life wrote c ver $500,000.00 of business. -At the end of its first 12 months the business in force amounted to i4, 577.25S.00. When two and one-half years old the business in force had reached S8,400,000.00, while the assets had grown from 8125.000.00 to $324,679.76. These are the figures that show the Greensboro Life's leadership. The terms of its policies demonstrate the Greensboro Life's superiority over all competitors.

Striking Similiarity In Contour Be tween Italy and New Zealand. Saving only for the fact that one is a peninsula and the other a group of islands by far the most striking sini larity in contour exists between Italy and New Zealand. The resemblance of each of them to a high heeled Well uington boot is almost perfect. Cape dell' Armi and Cape Reinga form the toes of the two boots. The bay of Plenty, in New Zealand. and the gulf of Taranto. in Italy. form the instep, while Cape Runaway and Cape Santa Maria di Leuco are respectively the points of the heels. The general shape of the calf of the leg is also the same and so is the curve outward to the somewhat gouty looking toe. The point of dissimilarity is of course the separation of North and South islands into two. It is easy, however, to see that if these two is lands were somewhat raised they would become one and would then even more resemble the Italian penin sula than they do now. A comparison of the islands of Ireland and Sardinia will also show several points of re semblance. but this is nothing like so striking as it is in the case of the two widely separated portions of the world above mentioned.

They Are Valuable as Aids to the Agriculturist. It ih not genierally known that the preservation of harmless snakes is as important ai the destruclion of the hosts of rests met with in farming and in aUnt:ket gardening. The national records contain sad his tories of the total or partial extermina tion of many animals which are useful or beautiful or both. Yet there are few animals more use ful in one way than snakes. If human ity alone provented the killing of harm less snakes, how can we justify it when they a-re proved to be useful to us? Consider tho economic relation of a snake to an. ear of corn or a row of potatoes. Snakes live - almost en tirely upon creatures which are de structive to growing things-that is, they cat literally millions of insects, small mammals and worms. Especial ly are potato bugs, worms, flies. bee ties, maggots, ants, grubs, grasshop pers. locusts and the larvae of these the food of most of our snakes. Of considerably over eighty dilfer cut kinds of snakes found throughout the United States and exclusive of the rattlesnakes and mocassins there are but two which can be termed danger ous. We exclude the rattlesnakes and the mioccasius because all are large. easily recognized forms. >vhich cannot be confused with harml . kinds. Liv ing in water, the moccasins are not of ten troublesome to farming regions and are confined to the, south from North Carolina around the gulf coast and the Florida peninsula and along the southern Mississippi, living in swamps. The two really poisonous snakes which might be mistaken for harmless ones are the copperhead and the coral snake. Of the two the copperhead only needs our attention. This truly poiP sonous snake is slender and has few features to distinguish it from harm less milk snakes. It is found usually in rocky hills or stone piles, old cellars being a favorite spot. But it should not be greatly feared, for unless at tacked or stepped on it will not bite, and it is seldom found where there is cultivation of the ground in progress. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. AMERICA'S MOUNTAINS. Grander and Greater In Variety Than the Old World's. North America has suffered shame fully from Alpine arrogance. Its mas ters have looked upon glacierless Colo rado. the ridges bulging faintly above the continental plateau; upon Popo catapetl and his sister titans reaching lthmusvard, upon the snowy dead e:raters of the Cascades, and pitied us iaericans that our lands o'*ered mountain sport for none but women and old men. Volcanoes? An inferior sort of mountain. The Appalachians? Moehills. But on their continent are fields for climbing greater in variety, wider in appeal to every sort of mountaineer. Alpinist included, than on any other of the world's six areas and among the summits physically attainable proba bly the hardest In the world. The Hfimalayas, with greater real eleva tion, have bases of attack discounting ly high, and the accepted Idea that thin air prevents climbing above 25,000 feet bars their tiptops. If South Amner la offers greater height and heroic weather, Alaska requires training in a sport quite new, a subarctic Alpining for which you must persist and endure like a polar traveler, work as and rope. cordel or pack cayuses across tundra. Its ten or more summits be tween 10,000 and 20.300 feet present the greatest effective height, the lon gest snow and ice slopes, in the world. All but Mlount St. Ellas and Miount McKinley. 20,300 feet. the highest on the continent, are- virgin. Mount Lo gan. IO.500 feet, Is the world's remain Ing Alpine problem. Swiss training alone will not win it. Climbers have avoided Alaska, oftener accepting chal lenges from Asia and the Andes. Al pinists must succeed in this ultimate field or come to Judgment for their condescension. Alaska lacks only that prohibitive elevation for which you may as well train in a laboratory vac uum.-Robert Dunn In Outing Maga zine. A Comb In the Claw. Many birds possess a useful comb in the claw of the middle toe of the foot This has been noticed in owvls, night jars, herons, bitterns, cormorants, gan nets, etc. It has been explained as a means of holding the prey securely. The comb is sometimes replaced by a curved blade with teeth, which run along the Inner side of the claw. Such a blade is found in razorbills, wild ducks, gulls, starlings and many other birds. Where a comb is required the inner edge of this blade becomes di vided into teeth. Young nightjars or goatsuckers have only the blade, but ld ones have a well developed comb. Appropriately Named. The boy in the paint store dashed hurriedly up the cellar steps and sought the proprietor. "There's a barrel leaking in the base ment," he cried. "and the automobile stuff is just pouring out." "Why do you call it ant omobile stuff?" asked the proprietor. "Because,"' gasped the youngster, "it's running over everything in sight" -udge.________ His Preference.

The earth has a shadow, but very few ever see it, except in eclipses of the moon, or else few recognize it when they see it.

As the sun siks the arc rises until it attains the zenith and even lasses it. This is the shad ow of the earth. Turr.ed Dcwn. "Beg pardon. rsir," said the -waiter, with outstretched pahln.

We Euglish are horribly phonetic and think nothing of spelling our name Featherstonehaugh and pronouncing it 1k1eechai. If you motor you must twist your tongue to the local speech. There is a quiet village in Kent that is spelled Stalisfieid and has achieved the distinction of keeping a railway staiion at nine miles distance. But If you ask your way to it you must call it Starchfell or you will never find it Iluntinlgdonshire claims the purest Ias Ijanover the purest Ger mnun. But by the peasants Papworth is called Parpor. And not far distant is another village of beauty. The mo torist turued upon a rough road and :.sked the intelligent laborer where it would take him. "That road," said the honest countryman, wiping his brow, "wiill take you to 'Ell, sir." The courageous motorist went on and found Ellsworth, which is merely El ser. The trouble as to the pronunciation of place names makes one very diffi dent, a correspondent complains, as to venturing upon pronoupcing any that one knows only by the eye and not by the ear. Being a Suffolk man, he knows that Waldringfield is Wunner ful and Chelmondiston Is Chimston, while in the adjoining county of Nor folk Happisburgh is Hazebro and Hunstanton Hunston, and visits to the west country have revealed that Badgeworthy is Badgery and Corn wood Kernwood. The result is that he would no't dare to make a shot at Uttoxeter or Bathampton, never hav ing happened to hear eCier referred to by a native. After all, there are unfortunate differences of opinion among Londoners, even as to South wark, Brompton and the two Brom leys.-London Chronicle. Mr. John Riha, of Vining. Ia., says: "I have been selling DeWitt's Kidney and Bladdar Pills f:r about a year and they give better satisfaction than any pill I ever sold.

The Way It Is Patched, Varnished and Powdered. A balloon consists of patches of cloth about a yard square sewed secure ly together. This is not because of any difficulty in making the fabric of a globular shape, for that could easily be done if the pieces were shaped like the skin on the. section of an apple. The reason is that no absolutely re liable fabric has yet been -invented, and there is always the possibility of the balloon bursting. Should this hap pen to one of these patches, the escape of gas will not be dangerously rapid. as it would be if larger sections were used. When the balloon is made it is care fully varnished, three coats being giv en. and each being allowed to dry thoroughly before the next is applied. If one coat is left moist the fabric will be attacked by a species of dry rot, which will make it as fragile as the paper this is printed on. In the early days of ballooning many fatal accidents were due to this defect, but now the utmost care is exercised. When a balloon is packed up for a journey, powdered chalk is sprinkled between the folds, as otherwise they would stick together and tear.-Pear son's Weekly.
