A SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTION

The family of W r Bird, recently
deceased, few days ago received a
check for 1925 from the Home Pro-
teetive Association OF the policy car
ried by Mr.. Bird in this company. An
investigation diseloses the fact that
Mr.. Bird had paid assessments on his
policy the sum Of S2084. which shows
that he made safe and wise invest
ment. Few people, even here at home
realize the wonderful coed that is be-
ing done by the Home Protective ASS
ociation. This is not the result of any
lack of intelligence, but is due en-
tireIy to the fact that people have
not stopped to investigate
The association was organized IN
February. 1914, and TOW has four
teen rolls, of 1000 members each,
and having passed the experimental
stage is now one Of the solid and sub
staatial institutions of the community.
Since organization the association has
paid out to families Of deceased
members the sum Of $22a.975, At cost
to the insured Of only S72s.IS. Pro
lection is furnished Ell the eo-opefa-
tive plan. and as a result members Sc
cure this protection at a nominal sum.
The payments are SO small that the
poor man, however Limited his re-
sources may be, can meet them and
thus provide for his family in ease Of
his deah. The Home Protective ASS
ociation offers opportunity for lie
insurance to the very class of people
who are in most need Of it, and the
plan is such thai every member OF
the family, from the ages Of ten to %
years, can get this insurance. An
other feature that Will appeal to many
people is the fact that when they are
making their small assessments they
know that they are contributing their
mite to the aid of some needy family
which has been visited by the Grim
Reaper of death and also incidentally
increasing the value of their oWneer-
Ill Icale.
While the growth Of the Home Pro
tective Association has been rapid
it has heen conservatively managed.
The mel back of the association are
J. 7. beaver, Dr. G. G. Dodson, L.
PoWe1' and Chas. +. Renner They
are ong the most successful and
subs tial business men of this COM
mufaAH and to those who know them

date
Colonel Henry Lauerens was born
August II, l724, and lived ON his
plantation in North Carolina until
December s, 792. when he died. The
next day after his death his will was
read, which requested that his son
wrap his body in thicknesses OF
heavy cloth and that il be- burned
until 1t was entirely consumed. On
December 10, 1892, on the plantation
where he had lived for 50 many
years there was erected the first
crematory ever CONSTRUCTED in the
| nited States, and the last wish of
this colonel of revolutionary fame
was carried out to the letter by his
son.

ONE THING the LEGISLATURE
SHOULD DO

T'lIEiE are many reasons why
! the legislature should deal very
literally with the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts.
Many people are coming into the
state every day of the year for the
purpose oi engaging IN farming or
stock raising. and it j. of imperative
inheritance that there h. some msii-
tuition where the prospective farmer
can get authentic information along
every line pertaining to either agrl-
culture or the raising of stock.
For a .ong time the New Mexico
Institution was OF little or no prac-
teal value t. the state, partakmg
more largcN of local high school,
but at tn present time II Is one OF
the really important educational IN
stitutions of this whole region. For
unaicly. there Is man at the head
of the college who has every part of
the state in his mind all the time,
and through the various branches OF
the spleui college he and his as
sistant, are now maintaining. he has
helped more than amy other force 10
make farming and stock raising
profitable IN New Mexico.

the leader hip of DR.. l.add. If gwen
the proper encouragement ana as
.i,tancc by the legislature, cannot
help but increase the agricultural m
terests from five 10 ten million dol
lars annually. There is no doubt at
all but that the field crops can ne

extent ten times the cost of operating
every department of the college. The
stock raising conditions can be I'M
proved, many fold by cooperation
with the modern method, now in
force at the college.
