STATE PRAISES
LOCAL COMPANY
Ins urance Commissioner
Says Farmers Mutual is
Well Conducted.

Quite q number Of verbal bouquets
are thrown 70 the Farmers Mutual Fire
Association of West Virginia, which
has its otnces in Falrmout, in the an.
nual report of the state auditor and
insurance commissioner, which was
recently received by the officers OF the
association.
The association has approximately
5000 farmers insured, they being
spread all over the state OF West Vir.
gtnia. To be exact the association does
business in thirty.five counties and
carries risks that total between $l0,.
100000 and s11,0O0,O0O. The associa.
ton has enjoyed fine year and espe.
cially since June there have been
few fires that have affected the mem.
bership. The way the business of the
company is increasing about a mil.
lion dollars worth of new contracts
are written UP each year.
The letter OF j. S. Darst, auditor and
fire insurance commissioner, in part
states the following: This examina.
tion of the company shows the affairs
OF the company 20 be in good shape,
and the organization is to be congratu.
lated on its record of efficient service
to policyholders."
The association takes risks In the
country alone and none of these are
greater than $4,000. The company is
managed solely for the benefit of pol.
icyholders and the expenses are very
low and the losses have been favorable.
The books are in good condition. These
facts are cleaned from the report OF
the Insurance Commissioner
The Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company is the largest mutual COM
pany in the state, having nearly as
much as all of the other mutual com.
panies combined.
The office is in charge of Thomas X.
Jones, the secretary, and he is assisted
in this work by Oral Morgan. The
company secured its new business
through farmers, who are members of
the association. Naturally as they are
interested as much as any one else
they secure the safer risks.

One Of the First regiment boys writes
a home newspaper that while the fare
from Camp Shelby to Hattiesburg is
but ten cents he is staying in camp.
So soon?
So, it has developed that more than
score Of robberies have taken place
in Fairmont within the past few nights
And not thing happened lN,t week
when most IF the cops were tending

OF course it's an organized gang.
The fish that gets away is always
a whopper.
If the nurses put their fees too high
it will have tendency to decrease the
amount of invalidism.
Some one tells the Astonisher thai

drive more than four miles an hour
should be established at each school.
Doesn't any one but the proof read.

Alice Hicks is out of jail.
And some yne has again managed to
save his face.
On his birthday all the school teach.

the children what a great man linden

And when the war is over they will

That famous electric locomotive has
been shipped at last.
But with its record for breaking en-

Camp Shelby is twelve miles square

The site is q wonderful place, we are
surrounded on all sides by tall pine
trees and long shaped buildings known
as mess shacks. AS far as have been

we regretted very much to have our

good Of the cause for which we are
fighting and will be satisfied.
The climate is very pleasant, not
too warm in the day time and the
nights very cool. One can sleep under
two wool blankets and then not be any
too warm. So far we have not been
bothered to any great extent by mos.
