The new bell for the Congregational

the tower this week, but viii not be
used until March 2s, when appropriate
exercises will be held and banquet will

A year ago this week the farmers
were ploughing in all sections of Ad-
Olson county and many persons had
their gardens made. 1t is true that in
most cases these early gardens had to
be replanted, some of them, second
time, as the continued cold rains in
April destroyed the seed, and many
farmers did not get their corn planted
until late in June.

There has been no large destruction
OF property by fire In Michigan within
the last decade, Detroit having been
especially free from really big IRE
losses. This is due not only to the ex-
cellence OF the fire department. but
also to the cooperation OF the fire In
surance men with the building depart
ments In demanding more attention to
the elimination OF fire risks so far as
possible.
Through these influences the IRE
limits of the city have been extended
until they include a large portion OF
the central residence section Of the
city and all the big new automobile
factories and other plants are OF fire.

the fire insurance companies In the
prevention OF fires is a part OF the
activities Of these companies that Is
frequently overlooked by the general
public.
The fire insurance business In De
troit has been run upon strictly con
sentative business lines. as In fact II
has been run generally throughout
the country. The record contrasts
favorably with the methods of con
Quoting life insurance companies al
revealed by the disclosures. Perhaps
the reason for this is to be found In
the more businesslike things and PEG
pie with which the fire insurance com
panies are called upon TO deal. Fire

The situation Of Detroit with re-

the same as the situation with respect
to life insurance. or the many mill
ions OF dollars worth OF risks In De-
troit and the adjacent territory only q

anoe, for II IL the policy of careful
companies to limit the amount OF
Risks they win assume on any one
building or In any one locality. The
possible results OF . connagration
would be too serious.
Detroit hrs insurance companies,
however. have shown q steady growth
In business throughout the last tan
years. and al the companies engaged
In the business OF writing IRE insur-
anos have enjoyed . measure OF the
prosperity that has come to other lines
Of business during the same period.
There have been very few losses OF
any importance to the Detroit com
panbes. as q result Of the careful Sc
lection Of risks, and, perhaps. 1t may
be added, to the good fortune that has
fallen to every line OF enterprise In
Detroit during the recent period OF
phenomenal growth.
The only loss OF any Importance In
which Detroit companies we're con-
cerned was the big confiagration fol-
lowing the San Francisco earthquake
in 1906. Together with a great many
other companies throughout the coun-
try Detroit fire insurance interests
were involved In this great disaster.
All the claims were paid promptly
however, and 1t was only short time
before the effects were entirely for
gotten in the chase after more busi-
ness. Detroit fire insurance compan-
les were not involved In the other two

this reserve must be accounted Tor

commissioner Of insurance for Michi-
gan. who during his ten years or
office In that position established an
unique reputation as a keen student
Of the varied problems which arise
IN connection with the business OF In
surance. Mr.. Barry raised the Mich
igan insurance department to a high
standard of efficiency so al to render
the people OF this state under perman-
ent obligations TO him. Speaking be-
fore the National Association OF Life

Der, he spoke In reference to home
companies as follows:
Il have no quarrel with new COM

they accomplish much good. II would.
In my judgment, be best for all con-
cerned II there were to be established
In every state one or more good, solid
substantial companies operated along
safe and sane lines by men skilled In
the business.
These local companies would do
much in the way of educating the peo-
pie as to the soundness and beneh-
cence OF life insurance as an institu-
ton and creating a healthy and In
telligent public sentiment which
would serve TO protect the business

constantly draws money from the

state companies whose operations can

Just as the work Of the fraternal
beneficiary societies has educated the
people Of the rural communities, VII
lagos and smaller cities OF the coun-
try. so, believe, does the work OF the
growing number of new legal reserve
companies make the education more
thorough and widespread and thus
adds recruits to the growing ranks of
those citizens who deem II their duty
TO protect those dependent upon them
with contracts Of life insurance that
are actually correct and financially
sound.
From every standpoint, therefore,
