To the Farmers of North West Ark
 anSas

He al IhetS Mutudl Insurance Co, of Rogers, Ark, desires te call your attention to some of the articles with scare" headlines which have been running in some of our local papers for some time in regard to Mutual Insurance Com Danies.
 In the first place. it would be well to note the fact that a great many so called Mutual Companies are that in name only, being organ ized Ill some city by few persons and run for the purpose of profit.
 Futher more, you will note that all of the articles mentioned make no mention of Stock Companies which have gone to the wall We have before Us list of IS Stock Companies whose business is in the hands of a receiver and being wound Hp, lo companies that have quit business and 5S companies com pelled 10 re-insure in other eompan- ies. This in 1911. If you will read the above mentioned articles carefully, you will see that all the laws and court rulings mentioned are in distant states and have nc bearing whatever on companies or ganized in Arkansas. The Farmers Mutual of Rogers is incorporated under special act for farmers on ly. Our incorporation was perfect ed under the direction of the best legal talent 10 be had and the law governing the same explicitly states that such companies are not sub ject to. or amendable to, the gen eral Insurance laws of the state as are companies doing business for profit.
 It would seem from the howl that has gone up that somebody got hurt
 This company was not organized for the purpose of hurting or an tagonizing anyone but for our pro- lection only.
 It has no fine offices, no high salaried officers or accumulation of funds except as absolutely necessary to pay minimum expenses and ae- tual losses that may occur.
 Now to compare notes as to the cost of the two propositions, the stock Company and the Cooperative
 The farmer insuring in the stock company will have 10 pay S15. 00 To s20 upon each s100000 of risk for a term of 3 years.
 After the agents rake off" is de ddeted, every dollar of the remain der goes out of the community and ceases to be a factor among our home people. therefore il is to the interest of every business man to give Us their good will, for every dollar passing through the Mutual Gompany's hands for any purpose whatever remains and is spent with in our own jurisdiction.
 Now take the Mutual proposition. This company has been in opera ton for 3 years, years as The Beton County Farmers Mutual, af- terwards incorporated as the Farm CTS Mutual with head quarters at Rogers For the above length Of time all losses and expenses being fully paid the total assessments on eanh 5000. % of risk has been but S7S0
 Finally: In whom can the farm er place the most trust iii a com pany of strangers i'll some distant city. or several hundred of his own neighbors and friends. everyone oi them a free holder and legally 
 misfortune We have no doubt but every member of this company would eheerfully contribute ar amount equal to an assessment should his immediate neighbor he so unfortunate as 10 lose his home without insurance Our plan is sim ply to enlaree the neiehhorheed and broaden our acquaintance, ev- t,ft M share Of the losses occurring
