citizen.
A score of times propositions were
made to him to combine his plant with
that of others. Invariably he would

anyhow before you were anything but
a wee bit of gossoon. I've run my
shop without your help or anybody
else's help. I'll run it myself until I
die; so that's all there is about it."
If the caller tried to argue with
him the old man would arise in his
wrath and say Get out of my place" 4"
and if the visitor wasn't spry the old
man would push him into the street.
Some of the smaller boiler works
combined, but it didn't affect Moyni-
han. His reputation was so we'll es-
tablished and his patrons were so we'll
satisfied that he went along year by
year making plenty of boilers, making
a fair bit of money and perfectly con-
tented.
He Scorned Rebate Offer.
But combination was in the air. If
II didn't succeed well in the boiler
line, it did in the supply houses. Mr.,
Moynihan bought his sheet metal, his
rivets, his hammers, his sledges, his
fiues and all his other shop necessities
where he pleased. He would patronize
one establishment until something oc-
CURED to irritate him and then he
would transfer his trade to another.
All the supply men knew his peculiari-
ties and did their best to keep in his
good graces. His plant was so big that
his account was we'll worth having.
One day a suave, diplomatic gentle
man connected with one of the largest
hardware concerns called to see Mr..
Moynihan and prevailed upon him
to go to luncheon with him. When
the old man was in a mellow mood the
host. in as discreet manner as pos
sible, explained why he wanted to talk
wit. Mr.. Moynihan. There was a
great waste In the. supply business. he
said. There was duplication OF
clerks, of statesmen, of stock. etc.
Rent was a big item. 1t was an eco
nomic necessity that this waste
should be done away with 1t would
wipe out senseless competition, 1t
would tend to lessen the cost of the
material. A move was on foot to con-
solidate some of the supply houses.
The men behind this consolidation
wanted their customers to benefit
through the economies introduced.
They wanted Mr. Moynihan to share.
II Mr. Moynihan would agree to buy
his supplies from the combination he
would find it greatly to his advantage.
The combination would sell to the
general trade at a certain figure, but
to men like Mr.. M,Vnihan, whose ac-
counts were large, and whose trade
was we'll worth having, concession
would be made. This concession would
not be made at the time of purchase

Join a Test Association.

Every dairyman may not be able to
establish a worlds record in the pro-
duction of milk or butterfat, but every
dairyman will find that it will pay well
to try for advanced registry work if
he is keeping cows of pure lines Of
breeding. If he has grade herd he
will do well to join a test association.
It's the only method by which one can
know whether or not his cows are
profitable and are kept at a profit or at
e loss. Feed is too high to use on un-
known quantities as producers.

There Is a very large number of
systems OF pruning applied to the
grape vine. Those systems differ
principally in the form given to the
body of the vine, and in the manage
ment of the annual growth. Some of
the differences depend on variations
in the nature of the vines, on the cul-
tural and growing conditions of the
district and on the objects Of the
grower. Others are unessential and are
merely a matter of taste. The best
system is that which is most adapted
to all the conditions of the particular
vineyard. Any system which does not
take into account the nature Of the
vine is defective.
Before commencing work the pruner
should form a mental picture Of an
ideal vine of the form desired. Vines
are subject to so many accidents of
weather, cultivation and disease that,
even with the greatest care and skill,
it may be impossible to obtain single
ideal vine in the vineyard The ideal
vine, however, must exist in the
pruner's mind, or all his vines will be
unnecessarily defective. With this
ideal constantly in mind he is able to
take such measures as will, as much
as possible, direct the energies of the
vine in the right direction and counter
act all contrary influences and thus
to make eGch vine approach as nearly
as possible the perfect model.
This mental ideal is particularly
necessary in the treatment of young
vines. Only when it is strongly i'm
pressed on the imagination is it pos
sible to use such means and measures

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-That property
owners of the state of Oregon are looking with
suspicion upon mutual fire insurance is the story
brought to San Francisco by well known mer-
chant Of Portland, Ore. Repeated failures of
oregon mutuals during the past three years have
acquainted Oregonians with the fact that mutual
IRE insurance is first Of all flair weather" in
demnlty. So long as the losses remained normal.
with management expenses at a moderate fig
ure, the Oregon mutuals were acceptable 20 many
OF the people NJ the state. When the losses grew
above normal, however, the local mutuals were
unable to weather the storm and in consequence
many oregon property owners who had put their
trust in mutual insurance have been unable TO
collect for fire losses.
That policyholders who had the misfortune TO
lose their property by fire are not the only sufl
ferers, however, was brought home to the people
who had bought policies in the different Oregon
mutuals when the circuit court at Salem few
weeks ago ordered the receiver for three Of the
mutuals 10 assess every property owner holding
a policy in the company for sum sufficient to
bring the policyhoders' cost up to what the latter
would have paid for insurance i'm the stock COM
panies. Then there was trouble. The property
owners who had previously been strong for mu-
tual insurance realized that they had not bought
an insurance policy as they had supposed. but
had acquired instead full partnership i'm bust
ness which had failed with heavy liabilities and
assets nil. To make matters worse the mutuals'
creditors set up clamor TO be paid Immediately.
The worst blow of all came when the receiver
sent a curt notice 10 the polcyholders advising
that If assessments did not come forward more
promptly suit would be brought against each
policyholder in arrears.
What happened in Oregon has already hap
pened In every state where mutual fire insurance
has operated Persons attracted by the promise
of cheapness have bought insurance policies from
the mutuals only TO find later that their cheap

pected. The number of mutuals which have fail

OF THE MUTUALS
ARE FORCED TO MAKE GOOD

a solitary mutual writing a general business in
the state, the only policies then written being
issued by county mutuals, which operated only
in their home counties.
In 1911 California was invaded by number of
outside mutuals headed by n concern from Seat
tie (the Northwestern Mutual Fire Insurance
Company Of Seattle, Wash.) which proclaimed
that II had developed a new and wonderful sys-
tenn of mutual insurance which provided all the
benefits of the mutual without the pass the hat"
drawback which had brought mutual fire insur-
ance into disrepute before. The state legislature
obligingly repealed the former restrictions and
for the past four year California property owners
have been able 10 buy mutual insurance. How
much longer they will be permitted TO enjoy this
privilege" Is not known, but II the experience
of mutuals elsewhere is a criterion. the time will
surely come when the California property owners
who are insuring with the mutuals will face the
same situation as now confronts the good citizens
of the neighboring state of Oregon.
The mutual may tell the property owners that
the assessment liability has been eliminated by
law, but courts have an embarrassing habit of
constituting the statutes when the mutuals fail
and the policyholder can not hope 10 escape pay
ing in full for any benefit he has previously en-
ioyed The mutual may also declare that Il has
more cash surplus in proportion 10 its liabilities
than the stock companies, but Il behooves the
prudent property owner 10 safeguard himself by
insuring his property where the cost is absolutely
fixed in advance and where a fire loss can be paid
in full without passing the hat" as 80 many Of
the mutuals are forced 10 do.
