Record of the Prudential Company.

The twentv.ninth annual statement OF
the Prudential OF Newark, N. j., which is
published on another page, shows the
Company to be stronger financially than
ever before. The year 1904 is reported
to have been one of unusual gains in
every department of the Company's
business. The Company issued and paid
for in new insurance during the year over
312 million dollars, which is the largest
of any single years results in the Com
paDy's history. The number of policies
in force has been increased by over 500
thousand, bringing the total number OF
policies in force up to nearly six millions.
The total amount OF insurance at risk is
over one billion dollars. The Prudential
has maintained and surpassed its records
for liberality. During the year The Pru-
| Dental paid to policyholders over 13
million dollars, while since the organza-
ton OF the Company the total payment
! to its policy has been over 90
million dollars, One interesting feature
| brought out in the statement is the fact
| that in cash dividends and other concess-
ions, not stipulated in original contracts,
The Prudential has paid to holders of old
policies over million dollars. When
changes are made in policy contracts or
! rates which result in increased liberality
to the insured, The Prudential always
makes such changes retroactive, wherever
it is practicable to do so, and the above
payment is the result of this well-dehned
policy on the part of the company.
One OF the safest and most profitable
investments to life insurance company
consists of loans toits own policy hoders,
on the security OF their policies. The
statement shows $2,427, $50 loaned in
this way, protected by a reserve value o
$4.427, POS, thus aifordiug ample secur
ity. Nearly "A million dollars is held a,
reserve by the Company to protect policy
contracts and the assets include a sur
plus to policyhoIders OF $13, 1926, 500. SO
The complete schedule OF bonds ownet
by The Prudential shows the securities tt
be of the highest grade, Altogether tn
, statement is an unusually satisfactor
Que to the Company and its poIicyholders

Verm0nt's Sugar Crop.
The Yield will he nearly Two Pounds

A representative of the CALIFORNIAN
interviewed George c. Cary Monday on
the sugar crop this season and his opin-
ion is given below. AS most OF our read
ers know Mr.. Cary is at the head OF the
Cary Maple Sugar Company which ham
dies more maple sugar than any other
individual or firm in the United States or
Canada. Mr.. Carys opinion OF the crop
is therefore based on reports from all
parts of northern New England and
lower Canada. What be says about the
purity OF the product will receive unlver-
sal commendation in view OF the wide
spread demand for the passage OF the
pure food law, Mr.. Cary says:
"a thorough canvass OF the maple
sugar situation throughout the state of
Vermont indicates that the crop will
average in the vicinity of 1$lpounds to
a tree. Because of the season dragging
along so slowly many OF the farmers APP
parently became tired and gathered their
buckets before the last run. Quite a
number, however, re'tapped their trees
and in a few cases made as much as a
pound to a tree during last week
Peculiar conditions seem to have ex.
isted. as some farmers in a district have
MADE quite a large amount OF sugar
while their neighbors have made very
much less. The warm sugar places, SO
called. have not as rule made a very
large crop.
THE amount made is about a pounc
to a tree less than last year and th'
price will likely rule somewhat higher.
In Canada the season has been very
good one, and Beauce county has pro
duced as much, if not more hard blocl
sugar than last year. Other maple suga
sections seem to have produced about al
average crop.
THE pure TODD agitation in variou
states is having peculiar effect. Cor
trary to expectation, it is not increasing
the demand to any extent, many OF tn
companies who made mixed syru
going out OF business, aud Others cuttin
down their output very largely.
Because they sell the bulk Of thei
sugar at one price, regardless OF qualit
or color, the farmers in many cases seer
to think there is no object in maxim
good sugar. This, however, is not til
case, as the large amount OF poor sugs
made has tendency to cut down tt
price. The sooner the farmer understand
that he must make fairly good qualit
OF sugar and put it in decent package
the quicker he will obtain better prices.
The system put in effect last year b
one OF the largest buyers in the stat
whereby the farmers gave a write
guaranty OF the purity of their sugar,
accomplishing great results in extern
mating the practice OF aduIteration
the farmers"

undertook an unusual contract. They
agreed to design and build a house. to
make and arrange the furniture, to dec.
crate the house and supply 1T with
napery and .bed-linen, glassware, china,
and Kitchen utensils. They carried, out
the contract, says the World 8 Work
They even engaged servants. Dinner
was ready to be served when the owner
first stepped into the completed house
The house mentioned had been started
by an architect, and the usual success
sion of decorators, furnishers, and Other
purveyors was to follow. But the
owner, who was a semi-invalid, ~turnee
the whole contract over to this firm
Tho plans, drawings, and samples, were
shown to the owner, the whole work
was completed without his supervision
for he was absent.
The contract amounted to about 500,
900, and the result was entirely salts

the coloring of the china with the tone
of the dining-room, and attending .tt
