The 29th annual statement of the
Pr udential Insurance Company just is
sued, furnishes another striking illus
tration of the great progress made by
this splendid company. During the year
1904 it's assets have increased over 16
millions OF dollars, making the grand
total now over SO millions. Its surplus
increased over 8 millions and now stands
at over 13 millions. which gives the COM
pany for the protection of its policyhold-
ers over $117 OF assets for every 500
OF liabilities. The new business written
and paid for during 1904 amounted to
over 312 millions, and the total insur-
ance now in force amounts to over one
billion dollars. To date the company
has voluntarily given to old policy yholders
in cash dividends and other concessions
not stipulated in the original contracts,
over 5 million dollars. The present policy
contracts OF the Prudent are the most
liberal known to insurance, and the divi-
dends paid it's mutual policyholders are
exceled by no other company and equal
led by few, which fact is responsible for
the wonderful growth of its business each
year as people become better educated in
selecting their insurance.

DIR. Green's Lecture.

Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Green was intro.
duced in a very happy manner by Rev.
James Thompson, at Music Hall, Wed
nesday evening, and was cordially greet
ed by St. Johnsbury audience for the
second time. In his interesting lecture
entitled LEFT Handed Men" he spoke OF
the strong inclination to initiate success
ful people and enter prises; OF the similari'
ty of literature following an especially
successful writer; drew a picture OF an
old home with it's familiar surroundings,
the principal feature of which was the
mother with her we'll worn Bible, and
from this picture drew strong contrast
to the present day. He said it was far
cry from that time to the present and la
mented the fact that the Bible, "the only
book" is so little studied and read in the
present time. With many interesting
stories and "reminiscences he impressed
his hearers with the fact that what is
called luck, in reality is the capacity to
grasp opportunity when it comes, and to
holdit; and that genius is really drudgery,
or the result of it. He proved that sue
cess is making the best of what one has,
and that one may do this even though he
is "lett-hapded' or in some other way
handicapped.

Convention In Washington.
Efforts of the Government to Make
Standard Weights and Measures
throughout the United States.


Standard Weights and Measures
Throughout the United States.
P. F. Hazen returned from Washing
ton, D. c.. last week, where he attended
the convention of State Sealers and Gus
todians of Weights and Measures, and
gives very interesting report of the
meeting, of the establishment of the Bu-
reau of Standards, and the Importance
OF the work. This Bureau of Standards
superseded the office ofStandard Weights
and Measures of the Treasury Depart
ment, thus becoming the custodian OF
the Government standards of weights
and measures, together with all appara-
tus owned by the government for the
purpose of testing and adjusting the
same. Buildings have been erected for
its express purpose at an expense, includ-
ing grounds, of about $500 900, and the
convention was held ia the principal
building; they are located about three
miles from thecenter OF the city of Wash
ington.
Since the Revolutionary war among
other acts OF Congress one has been
passed requiring the Government to
furnish each state with duplicate sets of
measures, and under it the state of Ver-
mont received it's set which is now in the
care Of the state treasurer. The several
states passed various acts of legislation,
but with the exception OF the state of
Massachusetts it would appear that no
state in the union had given the subject
very much attention. Recognizing the
fact that the matter had been treated
with so little thought steps were taken
towards holding this convention, and
the governors of the several states were
invited to send representatives. The
purpose of the convention was first to
influence national legislation for the in
spection and use of weights and measures
on as nearly the right lines as could be
worked out; and secondly to ask the
several states to enact laws corresponding
as nearly as practicable to the national
laws, so as to have them as uniform as
possible throughout The United States.
While the convention was not largely
attended seven states were represented
besides the District of Columbia, and
much interest was manifested, and each
delegate was called upon for informal re.
marks.
The Importance of the work seems to
be second only to needed legislation in
the interests of pure food, and the con-
vention reque sted the Bureau of Stand
IaA 90 f@~ As<N,a
to be held presumably next October at
the same place at which time it is hoped
larger representation can be obtained
and that national organization will be
effected for the purpose of influencing
legislation on the line of better protection
to the purchasing public. Mr.. Hazen
earnestly recommends that Vermont be
represented at that convention.

The total number now on the cash Gus
toner list is 1904 with 67 in the bank
rupt list New members to the number
of 213 have been added during the year
making the total membership S62.
AS the Merchants Association is a
mutualinstitution, the members continue
to show increased interest in it's growth,
realizing that the more it is extended the
more valuable it becomes in benefits at.
tainable. Many manufacturers and
wholesalers have joined the association
in the past year, claiming that no other
way was ever presented to them for COL
lecting accounts and for protection
against undesirable accounts with so
little trouble and at so small expense,
and furthermore claiming that the Mer-
chants Association, by assisting the re-
tail dealerin collecting his bills receivable,
is great advantage to them.
