INSURANCE for ten years at the cost
of four premiums, is the record that
made this man a strong advocate Of
life insurance.
MILFORD, DEL, January 9, 1908.
MR.. HERBERT n. FELL, Manager,
Wilmington, Del.
DEAR SIR Having been for so
long a time a policy holder of the Mu-
tual Life. and having recently taken
an additional policy on the COntinu-
Gus Instalment plan, which provides
an annual income for Mrs Townsend,
as long as she lives, I will not only
comply with your request by telling
you what / think of the policy which
I have just tak en-, but with your per
mission, will also review the results of
my investment begun with the Mutual
Life in 1887.
The policy I purchased at that time
was issued on the Twenty Payment
Life, Ten-Ye ear Distribution plan, and
in 1897, ten years later, / received a
dividend of nearly three premiums, at
which time the Company offered to
add to my policy instead of paying me
the cash dividend, over six years pre-
miums, thereby making my insurance
costing me only four premiums in the
ten years. While | realized that this
was the best option to accept, circum-
stances were such that / took the cash
dividend, which | assure you, was
very satisfactory. Another five years
have now rolled around on this policy,
and I am again in receipt of a divi-
dend for the past five years, which is
equally as satisfactory as that paid me
for the first ten years.
In reference to the Continuous In
stalment policy, which you recently
delivered to me, I would state that
this form of insurance seems to me to
supply lOng-felt want. Many men
have, by hard work and great economy.
accumulated very nice estates which
have been gone through with in only
a few years, and which have been of
slight benefit to those left behind, not
withstanding the fact that it took an
entire lifetime to accumulate them.
What particularly like about the con-
tinuOus Instalment plan is that, no
matter how long my wife may live
after my death, she will continue to
draw au income from the Mutual Life
each year, and, while l hope to leave
her something in addition to this l can
safely state that there will be no asset
in my estate that will yield her so sure |
an income as this policy.
Yours very truly,
Col. THEODORE TOWNSEND. !

THE regulars desire common
primaries in order to keep alive
their organization, which is fast
going to pieces. If they are as
strong as they claim to be why do
they desire the help of Union Re-
publicans? The Union Republicans
have learned by experience that
promises made by the Regulars are
never kept. Too often have they
been inveigled into the confidence
game put up by the regulars. If
the regulars desire to sell their
gold-bricks they will have to hunt
for new fields to pursue their trade.
Because the Unions will not become
victims they are called corruption
lists by the self-styled puris.s. These
people, who desire to set the stand
ard of morals for the community
have enlisted reputable men who
have been attracted by the cry oi
purity. If the regulars are pure
and the Union Republicans impure
how do these reputable persons
stand on the matter ofcompromisesl
The position that the regulars as
sume is one is Of falsehood and
hypocricy. They endeavor to hold
Milford chronicle., 1903-06-05

in their ranks the people of good
morals by crying aloud the de-
pravity of their opponents and, on
the other hand, do not wish to lose
the votes of those who know the
practical side of politics, and they
are in the majority. so the cry Of
common primaries is set up. AS a
matter ofpolitics they hope to catch
the worker with this cry, for they
know he is the one who is vitality
interested in the success of the
ticket, and without the worker there
is no organization, hence all the
various means adopted to effect a
compromise. After election white
raiment is worn and the regular
paints himself a saint and every
one else a sinner. This thing has
been going on, one electi-n after
another, until it has become mono
tonOus.
Those interested, in the success
of the party, are disguised, hence
the desertions from the regulars.
If you are fighting for purity Of
elections do it honestly; do not
stand with one hand pointing to
heaven and the other reaching for
spoils. This purity business is
getting very rancid.

THE "News and Advertiser" had
a tale of woe last week over the
manner of placing matters of pub
tic interest before the public; re-
ferring to the publication of Kent
county matters in the MILFORD
CHRONICLE. The facts Of the
whole case are easy to understand,
and the affair is a simple bus
iness proposition. The colOred
school districts incorporated and
operated as the Colored Schools of
Milford, include nearly all of the
northern part of the First Election
District of Sussex county, and as
the Kent County School Commis-
sion has charge of these districts,
and as our neighbor has but linn
tied circulation there, it is only fair
to publish notices where the people
interested will see them. Then the
next item the News and AdYer-
tiser" complains of, is The placing
of notices to the merchants and
others having licenses to pay,of the
days and places where the Clerk
Of the-peace will sit to receive the
same. The same rule applies in
this as in the other case. At points
like Frederica, FELTON,, Harrington
Pennington, Houston and other
towns of smaller population, the
CHRONICLE has almost as much
if not more, readers than the New:
and Advertiser" prints in its en-
tire edition. For this reason,if nc
other, the public is better served
by the use of the CHRONICLES
columns.

r. [. stevens Fight for l,bertv

The Stevens case comes on again
at the term of court in Mitchell this
week. Stevens is under sentence OF
four and a half wears in the pen by
Judge Smith of this circuit for re-
receiving money as the cashier Of the
defunct bank at Plankinton when he
knew it was insolyent. The bank
failed number Of years ago-so long
ago that it is almost forgotten Stevens
fled, but came back after year or so
and stood trial. He got change of
venue to Dawson county, but was
convicted and sentenced as stated.
His attorneys took the case to the
supreme court and got new trial.
One OF the principal witnesses for the
state has disappeared Mrs. Bray, who
was 5ookkeeper in the bank. 1t was
largely upon her testimony that
Stevens was convicted. She is now in
Iowa and cannot be made to appear
In this trial. She left Plankinton a
couple of months ago. When the case
came up in Mitchell this week,
Hitchcock, who has just come into
the case as one Of Stevens attorneys,
asked for another trial judge upon the
ground that Judge Smith was pre-
JUDGED. Judge Smith promptly grant,
ed the petition and the case will be
tried by Judge Jones OF Sioux Falls,
who arrived in Mitchell Wednesday.
This is one of the kind of cases that
Hamlet probably had in mind when
he bitterly referred to the laws delay
in his famous soliloquy.

Ihls Man Farms

Woonsocket News: Steiner Lein,
who has farmed the old Halv>r Martin
place in Silver Creek township the
present season, is a cracker-jack when
it comes to raising crops. This year.
with very little help, he has raised
two thousand bushels Of small grain
and two thousand bushels of corn.
He believes in thorough work, deep
blowing and thorough cultivation for
corn. He puts on four good horses
to a sixteen inch plow, and puts it
down to good depth. Without good
deep blowing there is seldom more
than half crop of corn. Mr.. Lein
has the greatest contempt for the
method of skimming the surface
practiced by SO many. Nine times
out of ten such fields Of corn suffer
from drouth and the product is crop
OF nubbins and weeds, a disgrace to
the farmer and damage to the farm.
MI. Lein farms half a section besides
milking a lot of cows. The owner of
the place gets about $500 this year
for his one-third of the crop.

New Saloon Building Going LIN

j. W. Sanford Of Chamberlain re-
Gently bought the old store building
belonging to Fl. S. Dains- which has
been all old and delapitated land
mark for many years at the north end
Of Main street, and work on tearing
down the building was commenced
by Contractor j. Fl. Stevens of Cham
berlaln Monday morning. A new
and modern building, 22x6O in size,
with a plate glass front is to take its
place, in which J. M. Brunskill will
start second saloon, if he is success
ful in having his petition favorably
acted upon by the council On the 23th.
inst.
The old building has quite history,
it being the first store building to be
erected in Kimbali. Mr.. Dains built
it in the fall of 1881. Small as it was,
about 20x30, it contained all the busi-
ness then done in the town, INCLUDING
the postottice. Mr.. Dains had a
grocery on one side, Ed BIenne had
his dry goods store on the other side,
and in one of the front corners D. G..
Grippen had the postottice. Those
were great days, and we could write
columns on the subject.
While there are no doubt many who
dislike to see another saloon started
in Kimball, all will be glad to see a
new building replace some Of the old
shacks in that part Of the town. It
Is too bad that the one next to the
Dakopolis could not be demolished
also.
