--SoMETH1NG NEw.-The plans of the
Educational Endowment Association of
Minneapolis, may truly be set down as
something new" in the line Of Insurance.
The object is commcndable, and worthy
the serious attention of parents. The
Secretary of the Association has been
here the past few days, and endowed the
children of several of our citizens.
The plan is just the reverse of Life In
surance and only endows children from
birth to 12 years of age, payable at four
teen. The Board of Directors is COM
posed of some of the most reliable men
of Minneapolis, and strongly endorsed by
others of equally good standing. The
home office is in Minneapolis, and we
may well be proud of the originality of
such a plan in our own State. Mr.. G. A.
Dalager is an agent of the Association for
this vicinity, who will be pleased to ex-
PLAIN the plan to any one.
