An Excellent Years Record of the

The Arizona branch office filled its
allotment of $2,600,0O0OO on Deem

during the year 1914.
When Mr.. |. J. Johnson. present
agency director took charge of this
office eleven years ago this branch
was paying for about $S00,000.OO and
the district comprised the state of
Arizona. Now the Arizona branch
covers Arizona, New Mexico south of
Albuquerque, and the states of So

ever, the company has not written
any business in Old Mexico since the
war broke out there, so that the above
$2,600,000 allotment was paid for in

Minister'S seashore Romance.

CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-A summer ro-
nance begun four years ago on the
Maine coast was brought to happy
climax today at Evanston, when Miss
Charlotte V. Pierce was welded to
Rev. Edward c. Boynton, student
pastor at the University of Michi-
gan. Miss Pierce and Mr.. Boynton
then a Harvard student, had gone
to spend the summer at Five islands.
DR. Nehemiah Boynton of Brooklyn,
the famous divine and father of the
Harvard student, had a summer cot
tage on one of the islands there.
Miss Pierce accompanied her grand
mother who had also taken cot
tage But unlike the proverbial
summer resort friendship, theirs was
rot forgotten. second summer at
the shore resort resulted in an en-
gagement, and next summer they will
go back to Five islands and have a
cottage of their own.
The wedding took place at the
home of the bride on Human ave-
nue., Evanston. The young preacher
