PINE GROVE

At Insurance Election Held
Here.

Insurgents in the German Baptist
ri-County Mutual Protective Insur-
ance association were unable to de-
velop the needed strength at the six
teenth annual meeting. Thursday, at
the court house to defeat the old board
Of directors and officers. The defeat
OF the Insurgents did not provoke i'll
feeling and after 1t was all over the
two factions agreed to work in har-
mony. The affairs of the association
will be in charge of Peter Ffant of
Connersville. John d. Hoover. of Hag-
erstown, c. c. Petry Of Kitchel, c. l..

lowing: Peter Fiant, president: John
ID. Hoover. vice president; d. o. Dill
ling. secretary and treasurer, and T.
A. Shafer. adjuster. These officers
served last year in most capable
manner.
In addition to the election of officers
at the afternoon session, there were
a number OF addresses by members
and discussions on the same. The re-
ports of the different committees and
OF secretary.treasurer Dilling were
adopted. The assessment in 1910 was

"FREEzE" AND "BURN."
?hsss Two Words Had . Common
Parent In One Aryan Root

SUo SVy0U VOOs
We are likely to consider freeze"
and burn" as two distinctly opposite
effects. but II. for a simple experiment,
you will touch your tongue to a bit
Of heated iron and to a bit of iron
that is extremely cold the effects, as
shown in the blisters produced and
in the sensation Of the contacts. will
be found to be surprisingly alike.
1t Is doubtful II our Aryan ancestors
when they were planting the seed Of
the English and its sister languages
thought Of the scientific relations Of
what we call heat and cold. but they
gave to us the root ''prus." which they
got out Of the sensations produced by
burning and freezing. As usual. Aryan
roots beginning with the .p" sound
change it to '.f' on the tongues of
the Teuton: so with these our more
modern ancestors "prus" became
''frus," and from 1t came our freeze"
and frost" Again, as is usual. our
Hindu brother in his Sans'xrit usually
preserves the Aryan ''p" sound. SO he
has from this root ''prush." meaning
to burn.
This root Of freeze became '.freosan"
In Anglo-Saxon. which Is our ''frozen."
In Icelandic 1t became '.frjosa." in
Swedish "frysa" and I'm Danish
''fryse." In the Latin the original '-p"
sound Is retained in ''pruina." mean
Ing hoarfros.. and in '.pruna." signify
Ing a burning coal. Here We see unit
ed two apparently opposite meanings
growing out OF the old root '.prus."-
