Washington. Dec 2o.-A blur OF two
faces inside the White House nmou-
sine as 1t whirled away was the last
Washington saw of President Wilson
and . new first lady of the land"
The president of the United States
and Mrs. Edith Boiling Calf were mar
ried Saturday night, and, speeding
away in an automobile to Alexandria
to elude curious crowds. were soon
en- route to Hot Springs, Va, on their
honeymoon.
Only q few hundred persons re-
ceived the last impression. They were
those who had hraved a raw, cold
blustery night and had stood outside
the Gait home. held at q distance by
100 police.
1t was 10 p. m. when the big car
dashed up. The old oil lamp which
swung back and forth over the door
way Of the brides home fiared up and
cleaned brighter for a moment The
bride and groom walked down the
enclosed stairway to the machine.
There was a roar and the Limousine
dashed forward, closely followed by
two cars with secret service men.
The wedding was over The chill of
the night grew sharper and the crowd
melted away.
Ceremony 10 Simple.
There was none of the panoply of
q state function at the wedding cere-
mony. 1t was obviously the desire Of
the president that all the details
should be in keeping with the idea
that ii was to have no official char
acter whatever, and he was to appear
as Mr. Woodrow Wilson, rather than
as the chief executive of the nation.
For that reason there were NO military
aids, no CLINT of uniforms, no simmer
of gold braid, no suggestion Of the for
malities which even on ordinary &C.
casions surround The president, Even
as weddings go, the ceremony at the
Gait residence was of the simplest and
most dignified character.
Brides Rector Officiates.
1t was beneath a canopy of green,
banked with ferns, Scotch heather
and orchids, that Woodrow Wilson
took Edith Boiling Gait to wife. The
ceremony was performed in the brides
home by Rev. Herbert Scott Smith,
rector OF ST. Margaret's Protestant
Episcopal church, of which the bride
is member. He was assisted by
Rev. James II. Taylor, pastor OF the
Central Presbyterian church, the place
of worship of the president and his
family in Washington.
Not more than As guests, men,
bers of the immediate families of the
president and his bride, and several
of their most intimate friends. were
present at the wedding ceremony.
The president left the White House

afternoon program opened with earn
est discussion Of whether or not the
annual Pomona meeting should be a
one-day or two-days session here at
Skowhegan. l.. L. Allen Of Fairfield
opposed the two-day plan, as he said
it put a great burden on the enter
tanning Grange and 1t was hard for
farmers, who comprise most Oranges,
to be away from home two days at
one time. None Of the other Pomona
meetings last more than one day and
some thought that by electing officers
at the December meeting all the rest
of the work could be done in one day

session and thought the townspeople
did not feel any burden from its
length. The matter was left on the ia
BILE to be decided at the next month
ly meeting of Pomona, in February.
The other question discussed was
do Farmers as Glass Keep Abreast

This question was opened by Willis c..
Hobart and continued by A. s. Burke,
Bingham. c. E. Hobart of East Mad

George E. Foster of Cornville. It was
the general opinion that farmers are
more upto date than men Of other
pursuits and it was said that an or

Of business cannot: furthermore, it is

To Policyholders:

. HE Sixty-fifth Annual Re-
port. exhibiting the BUSH
ness Of the year and the
statement Of the Com
pany on the thirty-first day Of
December, 1914, is herewith sub
mitted.
Life Insurance Companies are
SO frequently spoken of as finan-
cial institutions that the fact they
are simply business corporations
is commonly overlooked. A Life
Insurance Company exists only
for the purpose Of insuring lives
and payment of claims, and the
charter of the Union Mutual Life
Insurance Company, granted by
the State of Maine in 1S4S, SO
provides.
The care and investment Of the
funds belonging to Policyholders
is an obligation Of the Directors,
chosen by the Policyholders.
whose trustees they are, but the
business in which the Company
is engaged is the writing Of Poll
cies Of Insurance and the pay
ment Of claims hereunder as
they mature.
Our Company was organized
and commenced business in 1S49,
its first Policy having been writ
ten on the life of Elisha B. Pratt,
Of Cambridge, Mass. the first
President Of the Company, on
October list of that year. and paid
as a Death Claim in February,
1861, since which time Insurance
protection. aggregating millions
Of dollars. has been placed upon
thousands Of lives. and many mil
lions Of dollars have been re-
turned to Policyholders.
No unusual pressure has been
exerted to write new business
during 1914. and general condi-
lions, to which 1t is unnecessary
to make extended reference. have
not been so favorable for the pro-
motion Of the business Of the
Company as in many other years
when commercial activities Of all
kinds have been more prosperous.
Notwithstanding these condi-
lions. the unremitting labor Of a
loyal corps of Superintendents
and Agents who are not only
seeking their own livelihood, but
arc devoted to the interests Of the
Company, whose representatives
they are, and the prosperity Of
which so largely depends upon
them, has resulted in the fact that
the New Insurance paid-for has
been greater than the average of
several years past, although not
quite equalling the amount writ
ten in 1913.
During the year there have
been paid-for $3.50 Policies of
$6,2s9.790 Insurance, Of which
1874 Policies of ss55,2o6 were upon
the lives of residents of our Home
State.
The total number of paid for
Policies in Force upon the books
Of the Company is 43,S61 Of $685.
420,6S4 Insurance, a substantial
increase over the amount in force
at the end Of the previous year.
