say that these two splendid men
have set a fine example for every
farmer who has stock to winter,

for every one with such stock to
come t1 town and watch the pro-

The company's achievements, past
and present. in the matter of benefits
to policyholders, have long attracted
public attention. In 1915 1t paid
policyhclders a total Of SGT97S, 329.32.
1t is noteworthy that this great sum
exceeded the amount received direct
IL from policyholders in the way of
premiums by $S,723,03G35 such re-
suits are Of course possible by reason
Of interest earned on the company's
investments, the total income from
this source in 1915 having been S2S.-
516,132.01. The balance sheet for
1916 shows Il contingency reserve on
the 31st Of December of $1i,625,-

the previous year of $t,977963.91
while in that year also there had
been an increase in this item OF ST.

the two years Of S3,G5S,072.9t.

insurance placed upon the books dur
ing the year $160,SS2,ti5.
1t viii be noted in the balance
sheet that the cash on hand AT the
close of the year was $it.507, 1876.
1t is the ccmpany's purpose to keep
its funds closely invested, and this

The increase is due to the fact that
Just at the close Of the year a mort

GERMAN GBMEPSIBLE

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE possibli-
ty that a German submarine accom-
panied the captured British liner Ap-
pam across the Atlantic and was pre-
pairing TO operate off the American
coast aroused much interest among
navy officials here.

believe, Germany recently has devel-

hardships.

Naval officers generally agreed that
