" INCORPORATED 1861
Has been in operation but four years, during
which time it has assured larger amount than
any Company in the United States during cor
responding period of existence. One of the chief
| causes OF its organization, was the forfeiture by
several Northern Companies of the policies OF

of this Company protested against this injustice,
and on its consummation, Withdrew aud orga-
nized the GLOBE MUTUAL" on principles more
liberal and iast than those yet adopted by any
other Insurance Company. In the event of death
in battle or in a duel the equitable value OF the
policy will be returned to the heirs. ALL other
Companies forfeit it. In case of suicide the
FULL Policy is paid. No restriction on travel:
This Company has, in it's guarantee fund Of

The PRESIDENTS Appointments.

The official guillotine has ceased its
operations for the present. The Senate
adjourned last Friday. putting an end to
farther confirmation of new appointments
till next session. The President can, I'M
der the tenure of-office law, decapitste
any official servant of the people whose
retirement to private life may be required
for the public veal, and appoint another
in his stead during the adjournment
But. in all probability, no wholesale
slaughter will be made. and the uneasy
head that wears an official crown can go
to sleep with fair chance of findirg it
all safe in tbe morning.
There has been much bowling among
the democracy at the radical character of
the Presidents appointments. As far
rs office is concerned, we don't think the
election of Grant has filed the measure
of their expectations of democratic
victory, hence their dissatisfaction with a
majority Of bis removals. A few sore
headed, disappointed republicans find
some fault, but the cause is, in nearly
all cases, more individual than general.
1t is nonsense to think every man must
be suited with all acts Of the administra-
ton. In many instances the sharpest
criticism and sererest censure may be
expected, sometimes from personal mo
tive, at another when the occasion for
SAYING something sharp is too good TO be
lost.
Considering the large army of gov
eminent Enthusiastically 5O,0O0-the
number of removals has not been very
great. When the Senate adjourned, only
about l 900 new appointments bad been
made. How. many thousand more re-
movals it will require to get down to
working basis it is hard TO determine
In all probability the appointees of AN
DY JOHNSON remaining in Office a year
hence will be few and far between, and
we doubt not the country will be just as
safe In their absence.

Odd Fellows.

From the address, delivered BY j.
FLETCHER WILLIAMS. at the Odd Eel
lows semi centennial celebration in St.
Paul, on the 26th inst, we gain some
valuable statistics of that rapidly increas
ing order. The first Lodge of Odd Eel
lows in America was established in Bal
timore on the 26th day of April. 1919,
just fifty years ago. There are now 5 :
800 Lodges and $4,000 members in
the United States. Eight millions OF
dollars have been expended in the last
ten years in the relief of the distressed.
The property owned by the order in the
United States is valued at fifty millions
of dollars. 1t is estimated that there
are at this time about one million Odd
Fellows in the world. The Daughters
OF Rebeckah in this country are estima
ted to number 10000. The order has
greatly increased in wealth and numbers
in the last decade, and now stands one
Of the most prosperous societies in the
worll.

On Saturday last, Hon. H. d. BARRON,
of Polk county made us a call. The
Judge was on bis way home from Wash
ington where he went to attend the late
Presidential inauguration. He has been
appointed 5th u. S. Auditor, and on
the first of next month will return to
the national capitol and enter upon the
duties of the office. The people of Polk
county may we'll regret to lose so prom
nent and worthy a citizen from their
midst, even temporarily, and as for the
permanent removal of their foremost
champion, it is not be thought of.
IS. s. FIFIELD, also looked in on us
on Saturday. He bad been to st. Paul
and seen the i" helephant," and was then
on his way home. looking happy and
contented 10 bis good clo'es. Now that
the good people of Polk have lost their
regular representative, BARRON. we would
advise them to next winter send SAM. to

Many of our readers will doubtless
remember seeing in the JOURNAL an
advertisement few weeks ago, offer
ing for sale a piece of land in this
county, known as the Baldwin Meadow
The notice was sent to US by Mr.. F. E.
Baldwin, of Clear Lake, Mimi, and we
published it two weeks. That adver-
tisement brought Mr.. B. customer in
the person of Mr.. VIM. Teare, of Oak
Grove, who did e.. not know the meadow
was for sale till he saw the notice in his
/" family paper" Negotiations were
commenced, and Mr.. Teare secured the
property. When Mr.. Baldwin called to
pay for the notice he told us that it was
the means of selling his land for one
hundred and fifty dollars more than he
expected. For So so advertisement he
found buyer who was willing to pay
him $3.50 above his original price. 1t
reached just the man that wanted the
property and who would pay the highest
price fer it. We call that profitable ad-
vertising. You may call it an isolated
case, but it is fact, aud speaks for it
self.
If you have anything to buy, to sell,
or to rent, an advertisement will. in nine
cases out of ten, bring your offer to the
very man who wants the article. and

they repaired to that much frequented

sewing, reading, and discussing the news.
When the gentlemen came as usual to
spend the evening at the pOst-office, talk

cupied. The women. however, failed to
discover the charm Of the place, thinking
