The CONNECTICUT! MUTUAL LIFE,
OF

The above named organization was in
corporated in June, 1916. To many thou
sands of families the company has re-
deemed its pledge faithfully by standing
In the gap IN the time of affection and
trouble, and its steadfast policy has ever
been to deal literally and justly with it's
members. For this reason it necessarily
stands high in the popular esteem and
confidence. Its ratio of expenses for AZ
years only $50 per cent.
Such results are worthy of notice.
Nothing like them has ever been reached.
This is less than half the ratio of Ameri-
can companies.
the question Of expense. 1t is the key of
the whole situation.
The moneys held by life insurance COM
panles are trust funds, and should not I'M
der any circumstances be subjected to any
expense beyond the fair cost for care and
investment and a proper outlay for secur-
ing new business and maintaining the old
In force. The Connecticut Mutual Life
insurance Company can stand before the
world and challenge the c~learest ~investi-
cation into it's financial management, and
we do not hesitate to say that the more
severe the scrutiny the more there will
be found to command admiration. The
well-defined purpose being to furnish GER
tain protection to it's members at the low
est cost consistent with safety.
Beyond this it has no other purpose.
Consequently all that is practicable in the
way of liberality in policy conditions is
fairly conceded to the insured. The best
possible guarantees ale given against loss
by forfeiture, as surrender values are in
corporated in the contract itself, which
can be drawn at the end Of a specified
term of years and every five years there
after. In a word, the company is run in
the interests of the insured who are it's
only stockholders; it is the most economi-
cally managed Office in the world; it
issues exceedingly liberal no%n-forfeiture
contracts, and is a safe company in every
regard, and one which will furnish the
most practicable and desirable forms of
insurance upon terms Of equity and Justice
to all. Full information given by

The Excursion.

The excursion at the Guyer Hot
Springs last Sunday was very well
attended and the day was most
suitable to a very enjoyable time.
The management did not do quite
as well financially as in the first
instance, but, having gotten beyond
the great expense of perfecting the
grounds for the series, began to re-
alize something from the invest
ment. The evergreen decorations
are still quite fresh and will be
allowed to remain until the Fourth,
when everything in the way Of
arbors and shades will again be re-
newed and the place embelished
with every possible continuance for
the benefit of guests. The game of
base ball played on the grounds
Sunday was watched with great
deal of enthusiasm by large num-
Der of people. The grounds are ex-
cellent for ball playing and there is
also tennis and a croquet ground
which afford no slight means of
amusement. The fishing is now
excellent. The baths are all clean
and spacious and the general at
fractions Of the place are far ahead
of those of any similar resort in
the northwest.

ance lecturer, last Sunday evening
and the pews were well filled with
listeners to that able speaker. He
handlrd the subject of prohibition
from a political point Of view, with
an abundance Of convincing argu-
ment, and then dewelt upon the
greater evils of intemperance with
touching eloquence and ready
stock OF. appealing incidents and
illustrations of it's sad effects. At
the close of his lecture the Colonel
submitted the proposition to estab-
lish a chapter of the Independent
Order of Good Templars in Ketch-
UNI, and committees were appointed
to canvass the congregation. A
good many influential people who
were present refused to offer their
names at the time, but enough were
secured for the organization, which
was perfected after the "black sheep"
were dismissed. The lodge will be
named the "Star of Hope" It
starts out with a pretty fair mem
bership, and has a most excellent
field in which to begin operations.
1t will go a little hard at first with
some of the young men who have
sacrificed themselves for the cause
of their country, but in due time
they Will no doubtreap their reward,
and we hope to see ''Star of Hope"
lodge thriving menace to the evils
of the cup. According to Col.
Hickman the I. 0. G. T. ("I often

drunkards in the past year. Only
a few have escaped, and the pur-
pose of the present organization is
to round these up in Ketchum.
