nOftMANS INSURANCE AGENCY
Mt. Sterling, Ky.
March "a, 1914.

To my Friends, Customers
and the Insuring Public:
have been asked by number
of people to give an expression
regarding the present conditions
of affairs as regards fire insur-
ance in the State and, having
nothing else to do, (having been
put out of commission" by the
passage of this Greene-Glenn
BilD, I hope that / may be par
doned for this lengthy explana-
ton but which 1 feel due the
public, my friends and customers,
that they may know just exactly
my attitude in the matter.
l could study for months and
then write, or address you on
this subject and could not do so
more ably than has been done
by the WINCHESTER SUN in
its issue of March %, 1914, and
which I quote below:
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-03-25

With all due respect to the
members of our local fire depart
ment, in our judgment one of our
city's greatest needs, is man of
average ability, who understands
thoroughly the correct use of a
chemical for the extinguishment
of fires. We have often seen a
great loss occasioned almost en-
tirely by water, while the actual
damage by fire was very slight
and we make this suggestion, not
by way of criticism, but in the
hope that it will be the means of
awakening an interest in the sub
ject.

In order to- live up to Mt.
Sterling's reputation for doing
things, when it takes notion,
while the Louisville delegation
quarrelled among themselves,
our Senator and Representative
quietly put our Commission Plan
bill through both Houses unani-
mously and the Governor has
clinched it by afixing his sigma
ture.

Reply to Bosworth's Statement

Reply to Bosworth's Statement
Mr.. Henry NJ. Bosworth, State
Audito-, has mailed throughout
the State, a letter setting forth
his views of the insurance bill
recently passed, known as the
Glenn-Greene Bill. The letter is
very plausible at first glance, but
when studied is so Vulnerable
that it almost seems waste of
time to call attention to it, but
for fear that some may read it
carelessly or may accept hearsay
reports, we feel it duty, which
we owe to our readers, to call at
tention of one or two of its de-
ceptive statements.
Mr.. Bosworth is very much de-
lighted with the bill but thinks
it a very mean trick on the part
of the. insurance companies to
withdraw, and thus leave him
and his Rating Board and the ad-
vocates of the measure, in a sad
plight before the people, and, es-
pecially the voters of the State.
His attitude in this respect re-
minds us very much of little
Johnny, who was hitting little
Willie on the head with the ham
hammer. His mother called to
him and asked him what he was
doing, to which Johnny replied ::
Nothing, mother, 'cept hitting
Willie on he head with the ham
mer and he won't stand still, but
hollers every time I DO it." Mr..
Bosworth thinks it equally in
considerate on the part of the
insurance company in getting out
of reach of his sledge hammer.
We do not have the figures for
the 43 years, of which Mr.. Bos-
worth speaks, but they show
from his own statements that
the companies have lost and are
still losing money in this State.
He says that the loss ratio in
Kentucky during that time was
60 cents, which means that the
companies paid out in losses SO
cents for every dollar they receiv-
ed in premiums. But Mr.. Bos-
worth did not take the next step
and say to the people of this
State that the expense ratio dur
ing that time was between AZ
and 43 cents, which means that
the companies, for every dollar
of premium they collected, had
to pay out from AZ cents to 43
cents in expenses. 1t is easily
seen that, with the loss ratio adj
ded to the expense ratio, the
companies have failed to make
anything on their investment.
Mr. .Bosworth also failed to
state that this expense ratio in
cluded the commissions which
averaged about 20 cents on the
dollar, paid by the companies to
their agents; city and State Ii
cense and taxes; salaries to adj
justers and special agents, and
special taxes paid to support the
Insurance Rating Board. 1t is
readily seen that the commits
sions to agents and salaries to
State adjusters were paid to
home people-Kentuckians-an
by them spent with our mer-
chants for clothing, provisions
and other necessities. The Sc
per cent. paid for losses was paid
to our home people, and the bal.
ance for taxes, licenses, ETC., to
the State, so that we fail TO see
where the in surance comDani

Out vi liiO OtdNN.
AS above stated we do not
have the figures for the 43 years
of. which he speaks, but we do
have the figures for 81 years,
that is from 1880 to 1912, and the
loss ratio for that time in Ken
lucky was 58.4 and the figures
for the last five years, 1908 to
1912, inclusive, shows that the
loss ratio was 5o.7 and the ex-
Dense ratio AZ cents, so that dur
ing the past five years, not in
Guiding the year 1913, the com
panies have returned $IoI.7o for
every $500 of premiums collect
ed and it is estimated that the
expense ratio for 1913, will be 43
per cent. the increased cost be-
ing caused LARGELY by reason of
the work required by the State
Insurance Board, which was
created by law in 1912 and to
which the companies were re-
ouired, by law, to pay $4,000 for
its support. 1t is estimated that
the loss ratio for 1913 will be %
per cent, which shows that dur
ing the year 1913 the companies
have returned $I.1o for every
$I.oo of premium collected. un-
der such a showing as this, would
any sane business man continue
operating his business with the
Legislature enacting a law say
ing to him, we have been regu-
lating rates for two years and
have succeeded in causing you to
lose much money, but we are not
satisfied; we not only want to
regulate your rates, but we want
to control the rates and shall
give to the Rating Board the
authority to make fiat percen-
tage reduction on any class of
property and at any time. That
is what the new law says and
that is the law, which Mr.. Bos-
worth approves.
The result Of that bill being
enacted into law has caused prac-
tically every company to with
draw from Kentucky and inside
of sixty days, it will be almost
impossible for any insurer to Sc
cure insurance.
Mr.. Bosworth failed to state
that the amount of insurance
carried in 1912 in the State of
Kentucky, in the companies
which have now withdrawn from
the State, was $3o8,ooo,I3I.
Where will the people, who own
this property, secure this insur-
ance, now that the companies
have withdrawn from the State
These companies have been fifty
years, or more, building up their
business and we know, as does
every business man, that they
would not leave this business,
tear down their agencies, which
they have been years in con-
strueting and retire from the
field, unless conditions were so
intolerable as to absolutely force
them to that position. We know
the people of Kentucky want in
surance and they must have it.
We know that people were ruin
ed financially and homes wreck
ed in Missouri, after the COM
panies Withdrew, and property
was destroyed by fire, upon
which owners were unable to Sc
cure insurance, and we know that
the same conditions will follow
here; therefore when ruin, desc
lation and despair come to our
people, by reason of this law
we want them to know where to
put the blame and we do not be.
lieve they will be slow in doing
it. 1t is our prediction that those
who advocated and had passed
this measure, will see the day
not far distant, when they will
deeply regret having taken such
action.

That Lakeland is a fine place t.

pitality of it's citizens, is the state
ment of j. Russell Ingram, one OF
the delegates of Stonewall jackson
Camp. Sons of Veterans, who, with
L. A. Bigelow, has returned here
from the State convention of Con-
federate Veterans, held in the South
Florida city. Numerous matters of
business before the reunion was a
source OF much interest to the local
delegates.
The returning delegates report
that Lakeland has a we'll organized
movement for the formation of one
OF the liveliest camps of the Sons of
Veterans in the State. The body
there is headed by J. A. Cox as
commander. Over half a hundred
members already have been admit

Do not turn your sub-soil on top,
turn land with a turning pillow, fol-
low with long narrow pillow in
same furrow; this is a good method
for sub-soiling. Some may tell you
not to do this but our observation
the past dry season has taught us
that this is the best thing to do; it
gives us a deep seed bed for retain
ing moisture. Moisture Is very nee
essary in making a large yield, and
keeps us through the dreaded dry
spell in the spring.
We have a good number of intel
ligent boys in the club now and we
would like to have more. All who
contemplate joining the Boys Corn
Club mail me a card with your name
and address and l will enroll your
name. Do this at once so you can
be furnished with literature.
Yours for success,

Mounted Mail
Carrier to Serve
Outlying Districts

The postofice department has au
thorizcd the appointment of &
mounted carrier, to serve the city Of
Lakeland, effective Nov. 10. All
persons who provide uitable boxes
preferably the kind used on rural
routes, will have their. mail deliv.
cred. The new route is as follows
West of South Dakota avenue to
Lake Beulah. between Lemon and
Walnut; thence north to Olive, east
to South Ohio, north to Lemon, east
to Missouri and South to Cresap;
thence the addition bounded by Gre
sap, Second avenue. Highland and
South Florida; thence east to Penn
sylvania. south to Charles, east to
South Boulevard. south to Park, east
to Success and north to Lake Nor
ton, supplying the territory between
tennessee and Success avenues;
thence along Lake Morton. supply
ing territory between Palmetto and
Lime; thence north on Ingram to
Rose and west to Lake avenue. SUD-
plying territory between South Myr.
tie and Rose; thence north to Cedar
and west to Iowa; thence north to
railroad and east to Gilmore, SUD-
plying territory between Iowa and
Stella to Parker; thence west to
tennessee, north to Emma, west to
North Florida, north to Quincy. west
to New York, south to Parker. east
to North Dakota, south to Myrtle.
east to Iowa, south to Magnolia. east
to Vermont, south to Bay and to
postoffice.
This will give an excellent SER
vice to residents living in the out
skirts of the city. and will do much
to relieve conditions in the postof-
fice especially in the general deliy-
cry department, where during the
dull season there is an average of
over 1000 persons served daily.
running up to over double that
number in the winter months. The
granting of mounted carrier is a
recognition by the Department of
the Importance of Lakeland's postal
business which has grown very rap
idly, and the increase of which is an
unerring index Of the growth of the
community in population and bust
ness interests. Postmaster Cresap
has worked hard to secure this i'm
provement for the service, which
will enable the postoffice force to
dispatch its business more expedi-
tiously. For the volume of business
handled, Lakeland has the smallest
force of any postoffice in this Sec
tion. though it is exceedingly eff
cient.

Delightful Sachet Shower
For Miss Grower

Delightful Sachet Shower
For Miss Grower
The Plant City Courier has tn,
following to say of a shower giver
there for Miss Grower:
Miss Rose Marie Smith was 9
charming hostess Saturday after.
noon at the home of her :ister, Mrs.
c. B. Root. honoring Miss suells
Grower. of Lakeland, with a sache,
shower.
The guests were cordially re.
ceived by the hostess mother, Mrs
Bessie Smith and sister, Ms. C. B,
Root. qntroductions to the honoree
and visiting ladies were made by
the hostess.
The guests were seated in the
parlor and library and spent the
greater part of the afternoon max
ing sachets. coat-hangers and other
dainty ribbon favors for the popular
bride-to-be.
After the attractive gifts were
finished and gathered into a willow
basket they were presented by the
hostess to the honoree.
Miss Evelyn White then delighted
the guests with two vocal selections,
Il Love Thee" and "The Owls
Courtship," accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. P. G. White. Mrs
Bennett Land, Jr., gave two read
ings very appropriate to the occa-
sion. the first Tragedy" and the
