WRITE MILLIONS IN INSURANCE
Report Shows Total of s27s, 100000
Worth of Fraternal Insurance Was
Written in Wisconsin in Year.
6,ooo,ooo,ooo is Insurance in Force

Practically 1878 100000 in fraternal
insurance was written in the state of
Wisconsin last year, according to adj
vance figures obtained at the office of
the commissioner of insurance. The
amount of fraternal insurance in force
IN the sixty-four societies licensed to
do business in the state at the begin
ming of the year was $6,574, $751;, 60S.78.
At the end of the year 1911 the amount
in force was 6,848,350 ,441.37, an in
crease during the year of AZ per cent.
The number of members at the begin
ming Of 1911 was 4,87S,1S8. At the
end of the year the number was
| 5,130,28l, an increase of So per cent.
a tendency that is noticeable in
these figures is. the decrease of the
average policy in force. The average
policy in all the societies decreased
from $l,348 to 1885, a decrease of
$l3 during the year. This decrease is
even more marked among some Of the
larger orders.
"A number Of societies are increas-
ing their membership rapidly" said
Insurance Commissioner III. L. Ekern,
while others are losing members and
facing ultimate dissolution, due to in
creased assessment that must come
with advancing age, where no ade-
quate reserve is provided during the
early years Of the policy. Most of the
societies are accommodating some funds
in excess Of current cost, which they
designate reserve fund, guarantee
fluid, etc. But it. should be strictly
understood that such funds> as they
now exist offer no security or guaran-
ace that the claims will be paid at
death. Some societies realize this fact
and are making strong efforts to
ladopt adequate rates.
1.-THE accumulation Of a fund may
not be difficult task, but the proper
accounting of this fund so as to do
justice to the members is quite another
problem. It is safe to say that if an

City Officials Get Busy to Catch Men
Who Leave Wives and Children.

A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Anton Marzonis, who is
charged with abandoning his wife and
two minor children. The man is al
legged to have been missing from Ke-
nosha since the first Of last December
and all efforts to locate him have so
far been futile. The wife appeared
in the municipal court on Monday and
declared her willingness to appear
against the man if he could be locat-
ed. There is renewed energy in the
search for wife deserters and Chair
man Jacob Saftig of the pauper COM
mittee of the common council has ad-
vised the police officers to be on the
alert for the capture of several men
who have left the city leaving their
wives and children to be cared for by
the committee. The city will take an
active interest in the prosecution Of
all of these men just as soon as they
can be found and placed under arrest.

The lax truancy laws Of the vari-

absenting themselves from school, dis

cent Of them might better than not

were not needed by their families.
They were out Of school only because
the parents We're tired Of insisting up
on further attendance, and because
the work of the school was distasteful.

III Senator LaFollette was not brought
to that way Of thinking by the
extensive expenditures which were
made by Senator Stephenson, of which
ne was the beneficiary, he may Be now,

cor to his present campaign was Charles

appointment as ambassador to China
was revoked by President Taft for the
reason that his indiscreet utterances be

soma non grata to the Chinese govern

two other principal contributors is Gift
ford Pinchot, who was relieved from
his position as chief forester because he
log-rolled against the head of the GOV
ernmental department in which he was
subordinate. GRANGE paid twenty
thousand dollars into the LaFollette
campaign fund and Pinchot ten thou
sand. These are large Jumps of money,
though they look small compared with
the outpouring Of Stephenson during
the years between 1900 and 1908.
In the case Of Stephenson there might
have been rocra for doubt as to whether
love or hate was the influence that loos-
ened the purse strings, but Pinchot left

Enthusiasm of Aliens to Get
Second Papers is Fall
ing Off.
TWO DAYS SET FOR HEARING

The enthusiasm of aliens in Keno
sha to secure their citizenship papers
before the new law goes into effect
on December first of this year seems
to have Waned and but eighteen APP
plications to be heard at the Septem-
Der term of the circuit court have
been filed with the clerk of the court.
But two weeks remain for the fling
of such applications and the list will
be closed on June 14th. After that
time it will be impossible for aliens
to seek their second papers until af
ter the new laws goes into effect.
Aliens with first papers will be per
mitted to vote at the coming national
election, but after that they will not
be permitted to exercise theil right Of
suffrage until after they have been
made full citizens by the court.
Judge Belden has announced that the
applications for naturalizations to be
heard at the June term will be taken
up on June II and IS and it is ex-
fpected that it will take all of the two
IS to hear the ninety petitions.
Most Of the foreigners who will have
a hearing at that time have been ex-
amined by the United States officials

schools getting ready for the rigid
examination which is demanded by the

it is claimed that Volker was driving
his car at a speed of close to twenty

We have spoken often for good pub
lie roads as the best investment, every
thing considered, that the country can
make; but we are indebted to the
Maryland state grange for the sound
suggestion that there are no really
good country roads without shade trees
along them. The practical, economic
value OF trees along the roadside is be-
You'd dispute. They actually protect
the road and lessenfhe cost of upkeep.
How much they add to the money val
ne of abutting farms it would be diff
cult to estimate; but if, of two farms
otherwise exactly equal in value and
offered at the same price, one is fringed
by shade trees and the other is bare,
there is little doubt which nine BUYERS
out of ten would prefer. In no other
way can the attractions of a bit Of
country road be so much enhanced.
Who that drives in the country doesn Il
feel grateful to the farmer whose trees
beautlfy the sceneg
Planting shade trees where none ex-
ist is not really expensive, and in the
long run it pays quite as we'll, at least,
as planting wheat. There are, of
course, certain practical problems, such
as avoiding too dense shade upon
grain land and selecting the right stock,
but treeless road anywhere outside
the desert is a reproach to those who
live upon it.-saturday Evening Post.

Holding Movement.

To the members of the County Farmers
Union and all others who are inter-
ested in the price of cotton:
At meeting G Of the County Farmers
Union, October 10th, 1912, resolution
was adopted instructing committee
appointed by the president of the coun-
ty union to draft and issue call to all
the members of the union and all those
who are interested in the price OF cotton
to hold their cotton off the market at
the present prices This is certainly an
opportune time to hold your cotton and
shereby get much better prices than
ore now prevailing. With short crop
and 8 splendid demand for the manu-
factured products OF cotton and the
banks willing to loan money on ware
house receipts of s per cent, every
farmer should be able to hold the
greater part of his cotton and at the
same time liquidate his debts. Farmers
think before it is too late, YOU have the
situation in your hands. Use it for your
own good and the good of others.
