sheep have been presented to the
Lewiston Public Library, by Senator

Forty-fOur new books have recently
been added to the Croker library at
Ripley.
Mrs. f.. Augusta Twomb1y is to serve
as librarian at the BridgtOn Public
Library during November. Mrs.
TwOmbly has been vice president of
the corporation since it was first in
stituted. The patronage of the library
during October made it one of the
most successful months of its history.
The Windham Library association
has recently purchased of Fred S.
Hawkes.. the building now used as a
library at the center and a little later
will enlarge the book room and make
other repairs In 1895 a portion of the
legacy Of the late Joseph Walker was
given to the library for a building and
this has been placed at interest and
from time to time other sums have
been added. In purchasing the above
mentioned building the amount given
by Mr.. Walker has not been en-
croached upon and it is hoped in time
that other donations may be received,
so that new building may sometime
be erected

MSsOuris Average Fire Rate Slightly
Above 81.

MissOuris Average Fire Rate Slightly
Above 81.
Superintendent Vandiver, of
Missouri, has the following to
say about fire rates in Missouri
IN his annual report:
Official figures show the av-
erage rate charged in Missouri
10 1906 by fire insurance compa-
MES was $l.08. showing a re.
duction OF 5 cents in The rate, as
compared with the a Serage rate
of 81. ID in 1905. Although this
shows reduction in the gener-
al average of fire insurance
rates in Missouri, the fact that
more than eight and a half mill.
IONS of dollars were paid 10 pre-
miums, and less than three and
half millions returned in the
payment of losses, clearly indi
Gates that if Missouri business
as a whole be considered on it's
own basis, it has been a very
profitable field, and the rates
are still much higher than the
character of the risks would
seem to warrant. 1t is also to
be noted that nearly all compa-
MES use the same rate books,
and there is little or no compe-
tition except among individual
agents. This fact has been
brought to the attention ;of the
Attorney General, who is now
investigating the question as to
whether or not fire insurance
companies are violating the an
THRUST laws of the State"
