be published:
ResOlced: That in the translation of
the spirit of our deceased brother from
this imperfect tn that all perfect, glorious
and celestial Lodge above we do not
weep as those without hope, for his life
aud exemplary character assure us that
the Divine Artist in finishing this par
ticular work by fashicning shining and
perfect model of Himself Fl om the M OF her
clay removes from the Hive of Nature a
worker who will be missed, but He of
The All-Seeing Eye has bestowed the re-
ward that all just and upright Masons
hope ut last To receive lie doeth all
things well, and 1t is not ours to COM
plain, but praise
WHEREAS, God In His allwise provi.
1ence has seen fit to remove by death
from this Lodge our Brother James
Coles, ST Therefore he Il
Resolved: That, while bowling In hum.
BILE submission 10 the will of the Supreme
architect of the Universe, we grieve nj
the departure of our brother from this
earthly tabernacle. He was one of
ripened years. and as garnered sheaf
we believe him safe In the storehouse of
the Great Harvester. His life was an
exemplary one and his Masonic conduct
above reprosch. He gave his flesh and
blood on the field Of battle, and In the
days OF peace his hand was not withheld
In doing his duty as he went. While
mourning his departure we rejoice that
of him 1t can be said "well done, good and
faithful servant"
Resolced, Further, that as a tribute of
our affection and remembrance these

GENTLEMEN:-I am I'm receipt of your
information regarding my dividend due
June 21st last, and note that the COM
pany gives me the following options:
First. To take cash dividend of
1926 62 and retain my policy for 81 900
paid-up insurance, payable at my death.
Or
Second. To use the dividend to In
crease the face OF my policy, which
would make 1t $1,S71 90. payable at my
death. Or
Third. To surrender the policy to the
company and receive therefor $775.43 In
cash. This policy was on the fifteen
payment life plsn-ffteen year dividend
period-and the dividend in cash Is more
than SS per cent. OF the premiums paid
In by me in fifteen years, $735 90.
Should take paid-up policy for the
entire amount of the dividend and policy
it would be nearly twice the amount Of
premiums paid in. Should i accept the
cash value Of the policy with the diyi-
dend the amount would be $77S.43, or
$4343 more than / have paid in to the
company.
Considering the above returns, and the
fact that have been protected bv your
company ia the cum of 81 900 for fifteen
years, am more than pleased with the
dividend returns and cannot commend
your company too highly to prospective
Insurers. Yours very truly,

INDIANA CROP REPORT.
Corn Has Been Benefited Rather Than
Injured by the Lack of Rain.

The following weekly crop bulletin has
been issued by w. T. Blythe director Of
the Indiana section of the climate and crop
service of the government Weather Bureau:
Mean temperatures averaging degrees
to degrees above norman daily prevailed
in this section during the past week. Light
local showers fell on the 9Th, 10th and 18th,
was insufficient to do more than revive
whitening vegetation. In many central and
southern counties the ground continues too
dry to plow, and in a few localities the
conditions are decidedly drouthy.
THE corn crop a whole, considering
its present stage and the time of year, was
probably benefited more than 1t was in
jured by the deficiency in rainfall. 1t made
good progress toward maturity; the ear
lest, which however comprises the smallest
portion of the whole, is now safe from ip-
Jury by frost and IS being put into shock
or silage. and with continued favorable
weather, the bulk of the later paintings
promises to reach maturity by Oct. l.
Tomatoes are bearing good crop gen.
erailv. but the fruit is ripening slowly,
and canning factories are In operation only
part of the time. One OF the largest fac
tories in the State reports that. up to Sept.
u. only about 20 per cent. of their tomato
and 80 per cent. of their sweet corn crops
had been received
potatoes are fairly promising in the
north section but in the central and south
sections, where digging is under way, the
yield is light.
I'm Gibson and Wabash counties. and In
a few localities in other parts of the State,
apples promise a good yield of good fruit.
but generally the crop is light and the fruit
more or less defective.
Tobacco is being cut and In Spencer and
Warrick counties reported. good to ex-
cellent crop.
Most of the blowing for fall seeding and.
where there is sufficient moisture to put
the ground in good condition, some plant
ing has been done, but the work is de-
layed in many places on account of dry
ness. and in others, the fear OF injury to
early sown wheat by flies

General passenger agents claim that the
fight against ticket scalpers by the rail-
roads will be continued TO a finish. The
railroads intend to make the St. Louis
worlds fair the center OF their aggressive
attack on the whole ticket brokerage sys-
tenn. Money will be spent freely and it is
the intention to show no mercy to any one
VINO is detected using a ticket obtained
from any person other than a regularly
authorized agent. Preparations are already
being made for this fight of determination
and the lines leading into st. Louis are par
ticularly active. General Passenger Agent
y. +. McCarty, of the y. & o. Southwestern,
was sent on Thursday six brokers' tickets
taken up by conductor on a Cincinnati
and st. Louis express train. The conductor
discovered that they were illegally OBJ
tanned and he asked for the fares, 81 each.
All the persons gave up their baggage
checks as pledges TO pay the amount at ST.
Louis; five of them paid; the sixth a
woman, pleaded that she had no money and
said if the conductor would let her take a
clean waist from her valise she would
secure work in candy store and pay the
fare when she earned the money. The rail-
road officials were obdurate. The woman
left and returned shortly with her husband,
who swore he would kill the man who sold
the ticket. Passenger officials say passen-
gers are losers in these cases. Many of the
ticket brokers are irresponsible and will
rarely make good any ticket presen ted.
Brokers have been driven off the Pennsyl-
vania lines and a strong effort is being
made at Buffalo to rid the roads of these
troublesome people.
