GREAT NORTHERN
IS PURCHASED
CHICAGO ASSN WANTS 81
PER CENT OF STOCK
OF COMPANY

The Great Northern Life Insurance
company of this city has just closed
deal with the officers of the Cen
trail Business Mems association of
Chicago to procure the assignment
to them of at least fifty-one per cent
OF the outstanding capital stock of
the Great Northern, at the price of
$40 per share ($170 for each $4,000
share). The Central Business Mems
association will take at this price
all of the stock duly assigned, that
shall be deposited in the American
National bank of this city by Janu-
airy Is, provided the amount so de-
positeS is ffty-one per cent, accord
ing to an announcement mailed to all
stockholders on Wednesday. Decem-
Der IA, by the board of directors of
the local company.
The board of directors of the Great
Northern, which made this arrange
ment, consists of C. C. Yawkey, Walter
Alexander, w. HI. Bissell, b. F. VIII
son, G. d. Jones, A. L. Kreutzer, G..
S. Gilbert, w c. .Landon and John A.
Sullivan.
Good Proposition
This, agreement has been entered
stockholders, mot because of any
doubt of the stability of the Great Nor
thern Life Insurance company---it is
in sound financial condition and is
steadily growing in strength. This
is evidenced by the desire of the Of
ficers of the Central Business Mems
association to purchase the stock of
the Great Northern after careful ex-
animation as to the condition of the
company. Only one small dividend
has been paid so far on the stock
and the attention which the officers
and directors have given to the af-
fairs of the Great Northern since its
inception. has been without remuner-
alton. In these circumstances this Of
fer of purchase seems TO US a good
business proposition.
''If, however, you should desire to
retain a part or all of your stock we
feel that you can rest assured that,
under the new management, it will
be in safe and experienced hands"
Continue on Board
c.. C. Yawkey and Z. S. Gilbert are
continuing as members of the board
of directors for time, each retaining
a sufficient amount of his stock to
qualify as director. 1t is also an
nounced that John Sullivan will re-
main with the new company as mana
ger of its life insurance department.
The Great Northern Life was in
corporated on May Z, 1909, the incor-
porators being Neal Brown, B. F. Will
son, c., S. Gilbert, c. j. Winton, W.
H. Mylrea, Walter Alexander, c.. c.
Yawkey, G. D. Jones and B. Heine-
mann. In 1920 it had an income of
SAT-, 900 and had loaned to citizens of
the state on first mortgages on real
estate, about 100000. Its total in
surance in force on January 1st of this
year was $13,170,730.

ering proposition for increasing bus
mess activity to some degree at this
time. Carl Lott appeared before the
council with a request for a lease to
one acre of city property lying at the
north end of Third street where the
city stone crusher is located. He
proposed to erect building and start
the manufacture of lath from hemlock
bolts of which he has on hand 1000

Mr.. Lott, the enterprise is in the ma
ture of an experiment. but he expects
it will give employment to- ten or

mill. The lease is for two years and If

been checked up. 1t is hoped that
all solicitors will report by the end
of the week and those in charge feel
confident that the full sum of SIS, 200
will be realized. The delay in clos
ing the campaign has been due large
ly to the weather and the Christmas

licitors from seeing all their pros
poets.

class in citizenship to begin at the

Let Fortune Get Away.

All that glitters is not gold, but
lack of glitter is not a certain test for
worthlessness, it was found by gold
diggers along river in Papua, British
New Guinea recently. While search
ing for gold the men encountered
bluish-gray, flakish substance which
they cast aside as worthless. Two
months ago two pounds of this sub
stance was bought in London by an
American firm for approximately
$1,000, or eight times the value of the
same amount of gold. It was osmirid-
ium, a member of one of the hardest
metals known and used for the tipping
of fountain pens and for delicate bear
ings Of fine machinery. 1t is worth $500
an ounce. When the prospectors
learned the value of the substance they
hurried back to the river and learned
that tropical rains had washed away
most of the precious stuff. BY careful
work they raked together what was
left, had it refined and sent to London.

of the roads from the farm to market.
This is really Of as much impor-

how productive the land, the cost of

the roads and save money on hauling.
