Grand Prize and Gold Medal Awarded
the Prudent al

The Prudential Insurance Company
of America has received the Grand
Prize and Gold Medal at the ST.
Louis exposition for its exhibit
illustrating the Company's business
methods and vast and successful
results.
The Prudential ana its policy
holders are being congratulated on
the fact that this award makes the
Prudential the most highly hOnored
insurance institution in the world.
In the history Of life insurance no
other company has ever received a
corresponding award, although Du-
merous exhibits have been made by
insurance companies in the United
States and Europe.
The award was granted by jury OF
qualified experts, and places the seal
of highest approval on what by the
common consent of visitors 10 the
exposition was one Of the most
interesting and instructive exhibits at
the st. Louis Fair.
Such a comprehensive exhibit was
possible to the Prudential only by
reason of the perfect control which
the management of the company
exercises over its great organization
and the vast details of its business.

Large audiences greet Rev. Fred
Staff at the morning and evening
services at the Congregational church
on the west side. 1t appears that
Rev. Staff has awakened new interest
among the members Of that congrega-
ton, and the church auditorium is
church service. The practical sermons
that be breaches and the excellent
singing furnished by the choir under
the leadership of T. A. Taylor
unitedly have tendency to make the
services both profitable and interest
ing. Persons who have no church
connection in this city are cordially
invited to join in these services.

We wonder whether any OF our
leading business men have taken the
time and the interest to write the
officials of the Chicago Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway Company in
reference to the need of a new depot
in this city. This matter ought not
to.be neglected and the WOOD COUNTY
REPORTER is willing and ready to do
all In its power to further the
interests of this project. A new
depot. we really want and must have
and the sooner the officials of this
road realize this fact the better it will
be. The patronage this company has
always received and are still receiving
warrants the erection of a commod-
ious depot. We shall be glad to
publish any letters received from the
company in reply to letters written
them. Let's keep the matter of a

"If farmers want beet sugar factor

''If farmers want beet sugar factor
les they must make up their minds to
grow beeLs. Not for year or two,
but for a term of years. When they
are ready to do this, and to do it, right.
in way to produce large crops and
keep at it, factories will come without
any coaxing. When it is considered
that beet growing is not hard on the
land, that it has cash crop, at price
fixed even before the seed is Sown,
that much of the labor is done by
horse power, and that the tops and
pulps have good feeding value that
may be utilized by the grower and
bring a revenue ip excess of price
received for the beets. it must be
acknowledged that it is good
having business and one that will add
materially TO the prosperity of
farmers individually and collect
ively."
