CEDARCROFT
EASY THIS TIME

Cedarcroft was defeated twice on
her own floor at Kennett Square yes
terday by Wilmington Friends School.
The first team lost by a score of 20
to 10, and the second team by a score
of 21 to 10.
The Cedarcroft team simply couldn't
do anything against the wonderful
guard game of the local cracks, all OF
whom played like fiends. In the alb
sence of Derrick, the star guard man,
Nowland assumed one of the sentinel
stations, and put up a game that could
not be improved upon. He held his
opponent to one lonely field goal, and
dropped in a brace OF 'two-pointers"
himself.
The Quakers assumed the lead from
the start with the aid of some classy
shooting by Captain Daley, and we're
never headed.

A SUCCESS FROM THE START.

The fourth annual statement of this COM

ful, conservative and economical management
towards making a newly organized life insuf-
ance company success from the start advan-
tageous to its policyholders and profitable TO
those who have made the initial investment re-
quired to establish t. Although It is almost,a
maxim of the business that a new company can
not hope to put itself on a money-makng basis
in less than five years after il begins opera
tions, the Continental Life has been so excel
lently conducted that Il was able to add some
thing to its surplus In the first full year Of
business d90S); and in the second year (19O9),

third year (19lOl. over is per cent: and in
the fourth year u911). over 25 per cenC None
of these earnings have been divided among tho
stockholders as il is the purpose of the COM
pany to accumulate a surplus of one and one
half times the capital before making any dis
tribution Of the profits, except Of course the lib

SPLENDID GAINS.
Omitted States Review. Philadelpl

Omitted States Review, Philadelphia
BY all means one of the best Of the newly
organized life insurance companies of America
is the Continental Life which has just made
public il fourth annual statement showing
splendid gains in all departments. For years II
has been almost an accepted axiom with life
insurance students that life insurance COM
pany could not in its early years push its
operations without making a drain on its sur
plus account, but the Continental Life, al the
end OF itssfrst years operations was able 70
show a small earned surplus on the right side
OF the ledger. Last year the company earned
over 25 per cent on its outstanding capital
stock The Continental is being operated by
a management that is not only intelligent but
is also aggressive and careful. Perhaps its
highest endorsement is that those who thor
oughly investigate the company and its man
agement become its friends.

worthy of careful perusal. Notwithstanding the
fact that il usually takes az least five years for
a new life insurance company to put its busi-

showed a small increase. In 1911, the fourth
