It is well that the state has such
careful supervision over insurance

made stricter with profit to all, as
every time an insurance company
fails that much damage is done to
the business Of the state, especially

Under the Holly Bough

We who have loved each other
In this fast-fading year,
Sister or friend or brother,
Come, gather happy here.
And let your hearts grow fonder
AS memory glad shall ponder
Old loves and later wooing
Beneath the holly bough,
So sweet in their renewing
Beneath the holly bough.
Ye who have nourished sadness
In this fast fading year,
Estranged from joy and gladness,
Come gather hopeful here;
No more let useless sorrow
Pursue your night and morrow;
Come join in our embraces
Beneath the holly bough;
Take heart, uncloud your faces
Beneath the holly bough.
