NEW YORK, December 21.-Twenty pres
idents of life insurance companies in the
United States met at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel this morning, with the object of form
ing a national organization of insurance
presidents The meeting was held in re-
Spouse to a letter which was sent out by
Paul Morton, president of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, on December to
insurance men all about the country. In
this letter Mr.. Morton asked the co-opera-
ton of the various insurance presidents IN
furthering a plan for establishing such an
association To this letter Mr.. Morton re-
ceiyed thirty favorable replies, and twenty
of the thirty gathered at the Waldorf today
to talk it over.
The meeting opened at 1890 o'clock in the
banquet hall 1t was expected that it would
last until o'clock.
BEFORE the meeting opened Mr.. Morton
said that he was quite hopeful that the
organization would be effected. He said 1t
might be called an insurance trade or
ganization and among insurance men would
fill much the same purpose as the aSSocla-
ton which the of the hardware ana
other trades have. Primarily, he added, It's
object would be the benefit and welfare OF
the policy holders.
Aims of the Organization.
Some of the aims of the projected organ
ization he named follows:
ITO effect good legislation for policy hold
ers and protect them from vicious leslsla-
ton calculated to iniure their interests; TO
secure the cooperation of the various IN
surance presidents in furthering a policy
which should be for the best interests OF
the policy holders; to prevent extravaganza
and to reduce expenses by encouraging uni
formity of practice among the life lnsur-
ance companies in matters of general ad-
ministration and to consider carefully any
thing that may be suitably matter OF gen
eral concern to the life insurance bust
ness"

of age and his wife is less than a year his

Mr. Carpenter was formerly superintend-

Their closing years are spent within sight
of the institution, to which they gave fif-

still cling to the distinctive garb of the

Geo. MoCarl has returned
from a grading contract,
west of Pierre. He gives
it as his opinion that the
cars will not be running ac-
cross the reservation into
the Black Hills before next
year this time. The general
impression is, by those not in
formed, that the road will be
finished some time this win
ter, and it is costing many
people considerable hard
ship, for they are moving
out there with the idea that
the ears will soon be run
ming across the country.
Mr.. McCarl states that the
Milwaukee is no further ad-
vanced than the North
Western. He states that
work on the big bridge at
Pierre is progressing and
that it will probably be done
as soon as the road is built
west to Rapid City. He
says there is a blind man To-
Gated on a homestead some
80 miles out and several
miles from neighbors who
will likely perish this win
ter. Many of the school
mann settlers are sticking
to their claims. 1t is i'm
possible to get a meal at
their shacks and the travel
er is told to move on. It
would be out of the ques-
ton to secure accommoda-
tons at their homes as they
have nothing in sight to Of
fer. Many of these will no
doubt freeze to death this
winter ifthey persist in re-
naming there. On the sur
vey there is a place of $4,000
yards to grade down that
has not been let yet. This
of itself will make a winters
job for a contractor. Hay
is $l.O0 a ton and has to be
hauled ten and twenty miles.
Contractors have difficulty
in keeping men after they
get them and it will be i'm
possible to do much this
winter On that account.

Rev. J. w. Smith before beginning
his sermon Sunday morning, referred
to a recent incident that was unlike
any experience he had ever known
during all the years of his ministry.
Mr.. Smith had conducted the funeral
service of a Roswell woman who was
a member of his church. After the
funeral, the husband, who was not a
member of any church, had APP
preached the minister and asked that
the wife's name be left on the books.
saying that he wished to pay her
assessments as long as he should live.
Such a manifestation of owe for the
wife and her religion, and the
thought of keeping her memory alive
in the church from which she had
been called higher, made so deep an
impression upon the minister hat he
could not refrain from referring to
it publicly. He did not name the man
whose love was so sacredly and beau
tifully expressed, perhaps feeling
that it would be profaning a shrine
to breathe the name except to the
most sympathetic friends.

idea of his butting in under false
pretenses. He is against all the inter

KNOCKERS ARE FAILURES.

KNOCKERS ARE
1.-The Record does not believe
you can find a single person in Ros-
well who has been here more than
two years hat ever says a word
against the country. The only |
knockers in the Pecos Valley are
those who have not yet become
acclimated.-Roswell Record.
"Tne Record believes" about right
on the question. When you hear a
man knocking on the Pecos Valley.
ask him how long he has been here
and how much actual farming and
development work he has done. 1t
is invariably the Spectator who came
here to get rich quick and hen
didn't nave enough business judgment
to make good that oes he grum-
bling. The man who comes here to
grow things and then does his duty
by the soil can not complain. 1t is
entirely probable that there is more
agricultural talk and less actual work
done in his favored valley than any
spot on earth. AS a general PROPOSE
ton farming goes about thus. The
farmer gets a well with which to wa
ter his land. Then he puts bitches
around about ten times as much land
as he will be able to cultivate and
| plows all over the acreage with a
hop, skip and a jump and when cul-
tivating and watering season arrives
he finds the job too big for him and
puts in his time cussing the country
for no other reason apparently, but
that the water won't run of its own
account and the weeds just will per
sist in growing whether they are
wanted or not. Because any field crop
will grow readily and drouths and fall
ures are unknown, some farmers
seem to think all that is needed is
just a little water and a little faith.
The faith cure is no good in Pecos
Valley farming. 1t requires. the lay
ing IN of hands and that heavy and
often. A man who actually tills the
soil as ne would in other countries,
and then applies the water judicious-
ly, has no time for growing or knock
ing-he is kept too alfred busy har-
vesting the proceeds from his labors
to think of such things. This is no
idle talk, or boom" idea but a fact
that h writer is able to prove cas-
lily. This was exemplifed a year OF
two ago when a farmer came from
Texas to Dexter who had always be-
lieved that farming meant actual
tilling of the sol and he didn't know
any better than to try it. The crops
he raised will be talked about in that
section for years t o come. Fine In
dian corr was raised near Artesia |
last a and yet the editor believes
he knows what he is talking about |
when he says that not one single |
acre of it was even plowed more than
once, and some of it was never cul-
tivated at all-the farmer" merely |
planting and watering. Some fields |
made as high as 60 bushels to the
acre on o land, anu what would
it have made with proper cultivation?
AS Inc Record says, the men who
have been here long enough to give
the country a chance to prove itself.
have no complaint to make. Artesia
has q few knockers. We know them
personally: They are not producers
AND they would not be satisfied to
walk the golden streets of the New
Jerusalem-they would kick because
there were not free street cars to
help them ON the way-Artesia ADJ
vocate.
