The death rate is low, since organization is only 25 per cent of the expected, proving careful and intelligent selection. Death claims are paid promptly. A claim has never been contested. The lapse ratio is small because the company looks more to the quality of the business than the volume, and constantly places emphasis upon service to policyholders. The company’s investments are in first-class real estate mortgages, conforming to the strict Indiana law, and under the direct supervision of the home office. They are not affected by investment and commercial disturbances. Net earnings on mortgages exceed 6 per cent. 'The low death rate, careful management, high interest and mutuality enable the company to pay large annual dividends, leaving the net cost very low. The company observes the spirit and'letter of tKe Indiana Reserve Deposit Law, guaranteeing the payment of all fu- — ture claims. | *■ Officers Albert Goslee President. Frank P.

O. M. Thomas, who owns 400 acres of land near Laura, came this morning from his home in Lima, Ohio. He reports that they are suffering from a drouth there and that the onions are blowing out of the ground. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Newman, of Tolona, 111., came this morning to visit his father, Newman, who travels for the International Harvester Co;, and makes his home at the Makeever House. Ghauncey Wood returned yesterday evening from Indianapolis where he* had attended the grand lodge meeting of the Masons as the representative of the Rensselaer lodge. Charles Scott and wife, of Walker township, formerly of Scott county, were Rensselaer visitors yesterday. Mr. Scott a farm in Walker township and moved to it this spring.

A wolf hunt held near Monon last year brought $15.25 from the bounty and sale of the wolf killed. The money was divided among the Sunday schools of Monon township after the expenses of the hunt were paid and three schools each received $3.75. Remember, Hamilton & Kellner handle the famous Deering line ol' harvesting machines. H. R. W. Smith, who is visiting his brother-in-law, C. M. Paxton, remarked to The Republican editor Thursday that he was very much pleased and surprised at the quality of the music furnished by the Rensselaer band at the concert Wednesday evening. “The music was especially well rendered,” remarked Mr. Smith, “and the selections especially pleasing. I liked the patriotic music and the up-to-date airs that were rendered.” 3 cans one kind or assorted of tomatoes, kraut, hominy, baked beans, kidney beans, salmon, peas or com for 25c.—Rowles & Parker. “Unemployed Find Work at Brook” is the title of an article in The Brook Reporter, and by reading the text one learns that Howard Myers, Fred Snyder, John Lyons and 17 other “sons of rest” put in a busy day tearing down a bam and erecting a garage at the U. B. parsonage. The only pay was a fine dinner served by the Sisters of Ruth. None who are planning to go to Oklahoma to seek work in the harvest fields should be diverted Brookward by the slightly misleading headline.

Dannie Lesh, who moved from Jasper county bo a farm near Menooninde, Wis., several years ago, visited his sister, Mrs. Eli Arnold, and other relatives here from Wednesday until Thursday. He was accompanied by Solomon Stoner, a friend. Both had been attending the meeting of the German Baptist church near Dayton, Ohio. J. M. Lesh, father of Dannie, who also lives near Menominie, has also been attending the meeting in Ohio, will stop off for a few days’ visit on his return. Dannie is well pleased in Wisconsin and reports work this spring very well advanced. E. P. Honan, Mayor Spitler, W. L. Wood, G. H. Hammerton and County Commissioners Welch and Marble went to Lafayette today to attend a meeting of the air line auto route promoters. The commissioners of Newton county were also expected to be present and it is understood that an effort will be made to establish the main route west through Parr and thence, through Fair Oaks instead of maintaining the present route through Viigie.

More About the Air Line Automobile Route.

It seems that some parties are working hard to change the already established auto route between Chicago and Indianapolis to one not traveled very much at the present time. In case of a permanent improvement being made this would be a very unwise thing to do. The expense of traveling by auto has been cut in half by the reduced prices of gasoline, oil and auto tires. The expense will be reduced another fifty per cent in case the roads are built of good material and kept free from ruts and chuck holes, thus lessening the breakage and repair bills. With the cost of upkeep of an automobile reduced to one-fourth of what it was three years ago it becomes a business proposition as to who will or will not own one and use it as a time saver. Most anyone living ten or fifteen mile 6 out in the country has to take a whole day to go to Rensselaer and back with a team. He can soon figure whether his own time and team for a whole day is worth more or less than his time for one-half day or less is worth and leave his team home to rest while he goes to town with his produce and family. No doubt inside of two years automobiles will be in as general use in the country as the cream separator.

An auto can not be very successfully driven over a road bed of sand, mud or one full of ruts or chuck holes. This proposed air line route to Chicago is being agitated by tourists and (those desiring to travel more or less between Chicago and Indianapolis. Tourists and travelers are all right and will do us a good turn, if they induce some one to wake up and give us better roads. Tourists buy gasoline and tires and patronize the restaurants some, but who is it that comes to town and buys his furniture, hardware, building material, clothing, dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes and in fact spends all his money? It is the small fanner who lives on 160 acres of land or less.

Now they want to build the good highway clear off to one side of Jasper counity where it will pass through the land of large land owners who do not live on the land themselves, where the road is not needed because there is little or no travel to go over it. If any money is to be expended on roads, let it be where a good road is needed. It is a well known fact that land divided up into small farms brings in a larger income per acre than a large farm. It is the side lines in farming that bring in the money that goes to buy extra clothing that the family needs.

Many do not have much produce to sell simply because they do not raise it, and the reason they do not raise it is because they can not get it to market cheap enough or quick enough to bring a price that pays a profit. Eggs, buitter, cream and small fruit commence to deteriorate soon after production. These can all be produced so as to bring in many dollars to every family living on a farm if they can only get them to town quickly without too much expense.

Thousands of dollars worth of produce will be produced on the small farms ten or fifteen miles and more from Rensselaer just as soon as good roads make it possible for the same to be marketed quickly and cheaply. And the money thus obtained will be expended for the good things that every farmer’s family wants but. is unable to buy now. In north Union we are about 5 miles from any gravel pit. It is all we can do to keep a few of the worst holes in the road filled up in working out our land tax. There is a great amount of travel and the roads are fast wearing out. We have tried again and again to get help to fix these roads up. Our township or county officials say they can do nothing for us. How is it that all kinds of help is promised in case the route should go by some out of the way road through miles of pasture and thousands of acres owned by a few individuals? l lf roads are improved, let them be improved where most needed by the many. Then we can fix up a few side roads with our land tax so that** the niail carriers can drive over them, which are now nearly impassable.

Mrs. Elmo Thomas and two children left yesterday afternoon for their future home near Jordan, Mont. Mrs. Mary E. Lowe accompanied them as far as Chicago. Mrs. Thorn - as never learned anything about her purse which she lost some tame ago and which contained about $43 in money.

Holmes and her husband mj! taken a claim adjoining the one Mr. Holmes has in Montana. Relatives accompanied her to the station to bid her farewell and express their wefl washes. .
