Life Policy Loans.

An interesting study of the question
of loans on life insurance policies and in
notes rendered insurance companies in
lieu Of premiums reveals the fact that such
loans have been increasing at very rapid
rate. Since 1903, for example, the total
of such loans has increased from $152.
OOO, 600 to $780, 900. 900, or from s. Is to 1888
per cent of all insurance in force. When
we realize that but 10 per cent Of these
loans are ever repaid. that upward of five
hundred and fifty millions of dollars of
policy loans are now outstanding and that
these loans are rapidly increasing, it can
readily be seen that American life insur-
ance is losing much of its significance.
Whether the money SO borrowed Is ex
pended for Injuries or necessities, or
whether any considerable portion finds its
way into the investment market, is Of
course a proposition which only close in
yestigation will disclose. Inasmuch, how
ever, as 1t has been shown from the rec
ords of IA Of the largest companies doing
95 per cent of the insurance business in
the United States that the practice Of bor-
rowing on insurance policies assumes its
largest proportions during financial de-
pressions. it may logically be concluded
that necessity. and not luxury is the most
important compelling factor.

NEW YORK. May 23-The New York
stock market has been in cheerful
mood tbs true that there has not been
an overwhelming increase Of real bust
ness activity. but Wall street moves
greatly by sentiment, and the indica-
lions have all been of a most favorable
nature. In the first place buying orders
on quite fair scale had accumulated

also an optimistic sentiment created by

Steel Orders Still Shy.

Developments in the steel trade during

iron. placed by Independent steel compa-

quarters of the year. Eighty-five thou
sand tons of this was for steel works in
eastern Pennsylvania Foundry iron was
dull, sales reported in all sections aggre-
eating scarcely 25O 900 tons.
Bids were submitted on the general con-
struction of two East river tunnels at
New York, which will require from s.. OOO
to $1,000 tons of castiron segments. Con-
tracts for this will be sublet soon, and
in turn the successful founders will place
contracts for about 5000 tons of pig
iron.
The public service commission at New
York awarded two subway sections, call
ing for a moderate tonnage Of steel, and
also put out inquiries for three more
subway extensions.
Steel building and bridge work were dis
appointing, total contracts taken by the
fabricating shops being less than 1000
tons, of which the railroads contributed
less than 1000 tons. Rail contracts
placed included 1000 tons for the Great

Western Indiana, 1.GOO tons for the Louis
vile and Nashville and $500 tons for ex-
port. The Illinois Central has virtually

Seasonable Crop Scares.

The dull and dropping tone which de-
veioped in the weeks stock market re-
Elected some dfstrust of the conclusions
on which the previous advances had been
based. Seasonable crop scares came into
play. with reports of insect damage to
winter wheat. too much rain for cotton
and backward weather for spring wheat
and corn. The hopeful sentiment before
reported in the steel trade failed to be
translated into action. except for some
large orders for pig iron, which were Sc
cured by price concessions.

and Called on Carpet

Sacramento, Feb. 17-Sacramento
high school boys are in for carpet
hearing before Principal H. 0. Will
Jams because of initiation ceremonies
of the "Euoninia club" which called
forth a police squad on account of re-
volver shots which punctuated the
proceedings.
The boys held the initiation affair
on the B street levee last night at
23rd street. The revolver shots and
flash lights caused nearby residents
to send in a riot call to the police.
When the officers arrived. groans were
heard from the hollow in the bed of
the levee and guns were leveled.
"Wair, boys, they are only kids"
warned Inspector Kenning. Then the

Many Hupmobiles
Sold in Valley

Although an agency for the Hup-
mobile has been established in I'M
perial valley only since the first of
the year, there are now large num-
Der of these cars in use here and they
ARE gaining in popularity daily. Bliss
Brothers, who have the agency at the
Keystone garage on Main street, Ell
Centro, have made so many sales
recently that they have experienced
difficulty in keeping up with their or
ders. OF carload of Hupmobiles
which will reach Ell Centro early this
week, nearly every car has been sold
already.
In purchasing an automobile to be
used as Capital Prize in the contest
recently inaugurated by the Press the
Hupmobile was selected because of its
classy appearance, moderate price, du-
rability and its easy riding qualities,
and from the fact that in many auto

The Hupmobile is one of the few
cars in which all the moving parts
are enclosed in dust proof castings. 1t
has full floating axle, and while an
exceptionally light car, yet has a
powerful long stroke motor. The
Westinghouse two-unit self starter
and lighting system, which is the
highest priced starting system on the
market and is used by such cars as
the Picrce-Arrow, Case, Pullman, ETC.,
is feature of the Hupmobile cars
which commends itself to every pur
chaser. The ignition, starting and
! lighting systems being entirely indie
pendent of each other, if one unit gets
out of order, the others are not put
out of commission. This is feature
which all automobile buyers should
take into consideration before decid-
ing upon the machine to buy.

Woodhouse Says
Flight to Succeed

New York, Feb. 17.-Henry Wood
house, member of the marine flying
and dirigible balloon committee of the
Aero club of America, is confident
that the machine being built by Glenn
H. Curtiss for the trip across the
Atlantic, to be financed by Rodman
Wanamaker, will be success.
'The reported statement of We
drines that the transatlantic fight
is impossible" said Mr.. Woodhouse,
"has puzzled those connected with
aeronautics in America. 1t is possi-
bic that Vedrines, being in Africa, has
not heard that the plan is to use not
a common aeroplane, but one espe.
cially built, with especially powerful
motors. Had he heard of that there
is little doubt that he would have
agreed that the plan is possible"
Cortlandt F. Bishop, vice president
of the Aero club of America, will sail
for Europe early next month to make
arrangements for the round the world
race. 1t will be necessary to have the
sanction of the international fedora
tion Of aeronautics for this race. Mr..
Bishop will endeavor to- have a spe-
cial meeting called during the annual
session Of the federation to be held
at St. Petersburg next November to
give sanction for the race. This plan
will also enable the Aero club of
America to obtain the cooperation of
the four hundred aero clubs affiliated
with the federation.
Henry A. Wise Wood said yester-
day that, it having been proved that
the conquest of the air is fact, the
next thing will be to show that the
aeroplane can be used in commerce.
He believes that the time has arrived
when the aeroplane can be put to prac
tical us.
Edward B. Shaw announced yester-
day that he could make the Atlantic
fight in June. He is having a ma
chine made by the Bolands in Newark.
He said:
"My machine will have six hundred
square feet of wing surface, a two
hundred horsepower motor, an auxil-
iary motor of ten horse power and

The unhappiness of the world Is

takes an undue advantage, or neglects
his home, or does anything that he
ought not to do, punishment follows
Just as certain and as necessarily as
when one puts his hand into flame.

human experience is what constitutes

bowel remedy ever made. They taste
so much like candy that even the chill
dren like them. at the same time
they act so easily and naturally that
there is no purglng, gripping or pain.
They promptly remove the constipa-
ton and, by soothing and strengthen
ing the bowels, make it less liable to
occur again. We have the utmost
faith in them. We know what they
are made of and the pleasant, benetici-
al results that always follow their use
You needn't take our word for it.

if they don't entirely relieve all your

DEAR Ed am sending you
check for subscription to the
Journal.
1t certainly stirred my memory
when | read the letter of Mr..
Lewis in a recent issue of the Jour-
nal, describing his fancied trip
through the streets of Perrysburg
and naming the people he met as l
was well acquainted with nearly
everybody he met.
We had cold weather here during
February but the balance of the
winter was mild. The past sea-
son was a good year for the farmers
here as the crops were very good.
The most of the corn yielded about
100 bushels of ears per acre; oats
40 to 20 bushels; wheat 20 to As
bushels; beets 10 to II tons; beans
Is to 35 bushels per acre and hay
and potatoes were very good.
A large amount of hay is shipped
out of this country every year.
Much live stock is also shipped
away from here.
