FISHING is ENDED.
Trout, Salmon. Bass and Perch &c
to Spawning Beds.

Although a few stray fish willie con-
tInue TO be taken at various ponds and
lakes in eastern and northern Maine
for some time yet, the Upland fishing
season has nevertheless ended ard
from now on the sport will be poor.
Taken all in all, this has been an e&-
oeptionally good year fer the anglers
and some rare catches have been made
by the angling enthusiasts. Here at
home, says the Bangor Commercial.
the principal feature of the season has
been the surprisingly small number
taken st Green lake-a body of wa
ter usually noted for the number anc
size of its landloeked salmon. But If
the fishing there has been off. there
have been eompensations at Phillips
lake. two miles and half this side,
where the sport has been better than
ever before
Just at present landloeked salmon,
trout and bass are leaving the deeper
water where they have been for some
time past. ana are seeking compare
tivey shallow places where the water
is from eight or ten to four feet in
depth and where there is a gravelly
bottom. Ii is here that the female fish

chief endeavor of the fish is To find q
spot which is free from silt where

The fish are careful to select a place
where the gravel is clean and fire.
quently, where there is sediment they
will brush it away with their fins and
otherwise clean the pebbles by means
of their sharp shouts. Then the eggs
are deposited fortified by the male
fish, and watched over carefully by
the female.
There is one marked exception 10
this rule. however in the case of thu
bass. It is the male of this species
which does the watching and the fe
male. after depositing the eggs, swims
away. leaving them To the protection
and care Of the father.
The eggs will have been Matched
and the young fish grown to con
siderable, size by winter and then the
fishing will begin again through the
ice. But 1t is poor sport compared to
taking them with rod and line. so
many anglers believe, although the
prospect of few days in camp at

potentialities of compound interest
over long periods.
The essence of insurance is foresight
the adequate provision for contingent
cies and even possible disaster That
is why the companies usually charge
in the premiums collected an extra
amount to meet any unexpected call
on the funds. and also for any slight
miscalcuation in their estimates. The
interest earned may be less than an
ticipated; more people may die during
the year than the average indicated;
expenses may be higher. To meet
these possible circumstances, the poll
cy is loaded" with an extra amount.
More frequently than not is found that
such precautions We're unnecessary
but this merely means that the money
is available for increasing the bonus.
reducing the premiums, or for streng
thening the reserve.
While the management expenses of
each company must obviously vary ac-
cording to the class and magnitude of
the business transacted. and also the
financial and administrative ability of
the Directors and officers. it remains
true that the sources of profit are
practically the same, the amount of
interest earned on the accumulated
funds available for investment by the
working expenses being below what
have been estimated and provided for;
by the death rate being below the cal
culated percentage; by the lapsing and
surrender of 4 certain proportion of
the contracts.
As regards the policies lapsing, this
occurs when the policy holders cir
cumstances compel them to cease pay
ing premiums. taking the actual sur
render value of the policy as security.
Many people suppose that the com
panies' interest is to see policies lapse
They do, Of course, make profit out
of the lapses, but that is not always
very substantial, certainly not when
the lapse occurs within two or three
years of the issuance of the policy. for
the expense of securing the business
commission, .Sc., does not leave much
margin.
When the premiums have been paid
for considerable time a policy need
not be allowed to lapse for it's holder
can claim Il surrender value, which
varies from a third to half of the total
premiums paid. OF course, the terms
offered by the various companies diff
fer materially, but where Il man has
paid, say, Is premiums of $50 each, he
may depend upon receiving back from
the $1125 paid in from 1915 to $3.50 in
cash. Or he can accept a fully paid
up policy for n smaller amount 50
that he will still secure proportion
ate benefit without any further pay
ment of premiums. One of the most
valuable features of insurance is that
the companies are usually able and
willing to adapt their policies to the
actual needs of insurants and on
strictly equitable terms.-Chicago TIL

IMPORTANT MEETING
OF Dept. of Superntendence ana
Secondary School Administration.

An important meeting of the de-
partment of superintendent and sec
ondary school administration was
held, Friday, in the Senate chamber
at the State House the meeting tax
ing up the greater part of the entire
day.
The entire morning session was
taken UP with the discussion of mat
ters of proposed legislation submitted
from the State department Of educa =
ton which will be presented during
the coming session of the Legisla-
ture. Among these measures was
one which provides for the return of
school statistics SO that the statisti-
cal school year shall end, July !, in
stead of April ], and thus the sta
tistics coincide with the actual school
year period. Another measure pro-
poses an amendment to the present
truancy law. which defines a habitual
truant a. one who is absent six or
more consecutive school sessions, so
that the law may apply to those who
are frequently absent without cause.
A bill for preventing the attendance
at evening schools of pupils of com
pulsory day school age and one to
provide for the schooling of children
who take up temporary residence in
remote sections We're also among
those included as we'll as a measure
which is likely to provoke great deal
of discussion when it comes before
the Legislature. which has for its
purpose the prohibiting of secret or

well known views in regard to secret
organizations and their influence
upon school life.
The afternoon was devoted largely
to d discussion of the proposed
Teachers Pension bill, which has al
ready been framed by a special COM
mittee of the Maine Teachers Asso-
citation. One of the points which pro-
voked the most discussion was
whether or not the bill should be
made to apply to teachers who have
already completed their terms of SER
vice. The features of the bill upon
which agreement has already been
reached are the fixing of the age of
applicants at CO. with provision thai
they shall have taught 81 years and
that the pension shall be half of the
average eontraetual salary for the
last five years of service. but not less
than $3.50 nor more than $500
The matter of the distribution of
school funds was discussed to some
extent but no action was taken, as
that matter IS in the hands of a spe-
cial committee which is now prepar-
ing the measure.
