PENN RECEIVES
NEW YEARS GIFT
"A. r. HELLINGs GIVES COLLEGE,
BIG BUSINESS PROPERTY
fD0NER TO GET aNNUAL INCOME
Fine Property to the Value of Twenty
Thousand Dollars Is Added to
the Resources of the Crow
ing Friends institution.

A. r. Hellings and wife celebrated
New Years day by contracting to
Iced to Penn College on March first,
hree Oskaloosa business properties
alued in the aggregate at twenty
thousand dollars. They are numbers
Ia, 116 and 11S North Market Street.
The first is occupied by the Johnston
Vulcanizing Co., the second by Buffers
photo studio, and the third by the
Hawk Auto Co. All are leased for
! period of years.
College Pays Annuity
The conditions under which the
deed will be drawn are to be covered
by annuity agreement. For the first
dive years Penn College pays Mr.. and
Mrs. Hellings the net income derived
from the buildings after the usual eX-
penses, including upkeep, are deduct.
ed. Following that period, during the
life time of either, the college pays
from the income of the property, one
hundred dollars per month. Follow
ing the demise of the parents, five
hundred dollars per year will be paid
from the income, to their daughter
should she be unmarried.
Pleased Both Ways.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hellings are doubly
pleased; first because Providence has
so favored their mutual efforts that
they can afford this benevolence; sec
ond, because in utilizing this plan for
ultimately aiding an educational in
stitution in which they have an abid-
ing interest, they are at the same
time providing a regular income, strip.
ped of the usual business cares and
anxieties.
Expression of Interest.
Such tangible expressions of inter.
est and confidence increase the col.
lege management's realization of re
sponsibility, and awaken a renewed
determination to merit not only this
but the sundry like gifts that the flu,
ture, let us hope, may have in store
Confidence along these lines will be
come even better founded through the
maintaining of high educational
standards, and the tenacious pursuit
OF an energetic, obliging, conservative
and generally well approved business
policy.

The appointment of Mann to COM
