that the levy this fall was only five
per cent against seven per cent last
year, which is an unusually good
showing. rp

that the business of the association
for the year ending July 1, 1916
was s2,O16,361; for the year ending
July 1, 1917 was s2,373,s75; for the
year ending July 1, 1918, $685..
145; and for the year ending july l.
1919, s3,37O,695.. This shows an
increase in one year of over two
million dollars. The association is
said to be the largest and strongest
mutual insurance association in the
state.
The association insures property
OF its policy holders against dam.
age by fire, lightning, cyclones, tor
