had a momentary glimpse of the
world in which they live; scores
more, men and women, whose ears
have never caught the singing of
birds, the ripple of running water,
the sound of human voice.
Yet they are happy.
They have proven for themselves
that true happiness is found in
activity.
Baseball, football basket ball,
track meets debating, theatricals,
music-these are some of the regu-
lar activities at the California Insti-
tute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind.
A baseball game at this place of
silence and darkness is a spectacle
at once curious and pathetic. Every
uniformed PLAYER is deaf and dumb.
Play BALI" comes from the nimble
fingers of the umpire, and the game
is on. Down along the side lines

For pure thirst for sport, these
clean limbed, silent boys go into
the game and they are reckOned
among the fastest teams of the
coast. Threice they have sent the
crack varsity team of the Univer
sity of California down to defeat.

AGENCY DIRECTORS
 JOINT CONVENTION
|. J. Johnson, Arizona Manager of the New York Life Insurance Co.,, Re- turns From National Gathering of Agents.

T have just returned from the joint convention of agency directors and agents held at Atlantic City New ter sey." said l. J. Johnson yesterday. and it is useless for a Nylic man to say we had a harmonious and wonderful convention. The company invited three representative agents from each department as guests of the company at this convention hoping that these agents would help disseminate home office ideas. J. M. McGregor of Bis bee was one of the three agents who represented the western department in the convention, and he did it in a dig nified and most pleasing way. How ever, l might add that he got lost com ing home. MT. McGregor is vice pres ident of the S200,0O club and during the last club year wrote S352, ,0O0 of business.
 Tt will be pleasing to the agents and to the policy holders of the New York Life to know that our company is still the biggest company in the world and leads all other companies in the amount of new paid business in 1907. The New York Life paid for more business than the Mutual and Equitable combined. The company wrote the full limit under the law last year S1S5, 100000 with s15,OOO, 900 of
Arizona republican., 1908-01-28

renewed and reinstated policies mak- ing total of $150.G00,000.
 While in session the convention re- ceived word that the present New York legislature was favorable to amend the law limiting the amount of business to be writtene by any one company. Personally I have never found anyone who could give q reason why any company should be limited in the amount of good lawful business that it may do The law without doubt is unconstitutional. A few changes have been made in the policy forms to comply with the new law of Wisconsin. One of the changes has been that the company has made a reduction in the price of term insur ance and endowment insurance. They have also increased the loan and cash surrender values on all policies. The clubs for agents will, without doubt be re-established during -the present year.
 "The Arizona branch received many compliments from Mir. G. A. Smith, in spector of agencies of the western de- partment. and also from the officers of the company at New York as we went to this convention the same as We did last year. with over a quarter of q million more than our allotment
 "The weather was delightful all the way except in western Texas, where we encountered a cyclone going down and a blizzard coming back. Atlantic City has become a winter resort as well as summer resort and the climate was delightful We spent a day in Trenton. N. J.. one in Philadel- phia and one in Washington, D. C. We expect to write a bigger and bet ter business in Arizona this year than we did last. The panic is over and copper prices are better every day" Mrs Johnson returned with her hus- band yesterday morning from Bisbee, where she was called two weeks ago by telegram on account of the seri- ous illness of her mother. Mrs. M. A. Coles.
