A La Grande mother who has had a half century's expe ,' i'Ience,in getting on in the world remarked the other day that modern young people are too willing to acquire petty debts and too reluctant to go into debt on n good investment. There are two sides to every circumstance, and debt is no down exception to the rule. In one direction debt can lead to pros-j"00;1 ",'' j perity and in the other to worry and want. It iS. us com- .'horn i' ,' niendablo to get into debt of the former-nort as Ui to get',fi''v, Wto .V."tiiiy,itiiKia m '. .,t .,f lt,f nf fl, l.,n..

Debts wisely created pay them ; selves, lie is not truly in debt who exchanges his loan for j its enuivalent in something else and preserves the latter until the debt is dissolved. The true debtor is he who dissipates his . borrowings before the debt is satisfied.; Young people seek ing to get on in the world can well be encouraged tigo into ." debt for a wise, carefully studied purpose. ' ' (.KOUP INSURANCE .... Group life insurance, first inaugurated 18 years ago, now ' protects the dependents of 4,000,000 persons under policies for & total principal of $5,500,000,000. Fifteen per cent of life insurance nowiflv force on lives of citizens of the United States is in tho group form. Group insurance is regarded as the most important in . novation the insurance industry ever fostered, liocnuse it has 1 given insurance protection to millions of workers and their , dependents and has exerted a stabilizing effect on labor. Many persons insured under the group plan carry no other 2 insurance and die leaving no other estate. Statistics over a long period of years have demonstrated f tho wage-earners generally have been underinsured, and a large percentage of them uninsured. They show that 40 ' per cent of them cany no insurance and that the other GO per cent are insured for tin average of $.r)()0. Another inves tigation which dealt; with payments made under group insur- ; mice policies covering n.OOO cases disclosed that 815 per cent of the beneficiaries were virtually penniless. The benefits of group insurance, which account no doubt for its popularity, have come to all concerned, Insurance! companies are able to issue this form of insurance at low premiums because solicitation expenses are reduced, medical examinations are eliminated and employers collect the pre - miums for the insurance companies. The insured are able to ; obtained coverage regardless of age or physical condition, ' rates nits low and often paid in whole or part by employers, ;. and beneficiaries have the added advantage of immediate settlements. Employers discovered it stabilized labor. Designed by insurance companies as a means of increas ing business, it could not have, succeeded but for the fact ; that both workers and employers found it useful and valu able. No small advantage is found in its application to lim ited groups as well as industries employing hundreds and thousands. In a Giiinde several companies have group in surance, providing protection to 12 or more employes that would not otherwise be available. tit tillANIir, WHOLESALE Ai.utKirrs - Hmell a lbs. ror 25c.
