PAID BIG LOSSES
DURING PAST YEAR
Pine County Mutual Fire Jnsur-
ance Co. Has Steadily In
creased Business

The annual meeting of the
Pine County Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company was held at Askov
last Saturday. with only an at
tendance of about 40 members.
The small attendance, however,
can perhaps be taken as evidence
of good faith in its officials. The
business has been going along
smooth during 1919 and the CONF
pany has enjoyed a steady in
crease in business. The only
member from outside this inn
mediate community who attend
ed the annual meeting was John
Won Reuden of Hinckley. and he
didn't raise any kick at all. In
fact John" as he is commonly
called by his friends. is an ar
dent worker for the Pine County
Mutual and has secured many
new policy holders for the COM
pany.

The forest FIRE in the fall Of
1918 struck the Pine County
Mutual rather hard blow and
during 1919 they paid out $22.-
054 for losses incurred during

the result Of the forest fire with
the exception Of 1880 on the
Finnish church at Finlayson..
Losses incurred in 1919 and paid
during 1919 amounted to only
81 1880. A total of $24,l15.60

Gene Caldera who was the idol of

was fired from the lineup by Man

fans are for Caldera and some fav-
or the action of the management. 1t
seems however that the majority are
OF the same opinion as was the coach
when he took action. Those who
stand by the pitcher don't seem to
have both sides OF the story. Any
way. Manager Jensen acted on his
own judgment after disagreement
aSturday. and great many fans
now say that he should have taken
this stand some six weeks ago. as
Caldera has been big expense and
has not delivered the goods, accord
ing to expectations He has been
carried and paid n big fat salary
when he was not in condition physi-
cally to play ball. If the fans would
get both sides of the story they
might then line up with the manage
ment, which should always be the
case until both sides are heard.
