IDAHO LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY SUCCESSFUL

We have passed through a year
when the average individual or con-
Germ though little Of profit and
hoped more to hold his own. For
that reason, the unique record OF
Idaho State Life Insurance com
pany OF Boise, is worthy OF note.
This company organized February
list, 1910, and operating in seven
Intermountain and Pacific Coast
States, has Just declared Dividend
No. /, on December 21st. This d.
vidend, amounting to $12.OO0.OO
(Twelve Thousand DolTars), was
disbursed among its more than 500
stockholders scattered throughout
tho state of Idaho, and the checks
were mailed to reach them on Christ
mas morning. This declaration on
dividend was out of stockholders
profits during an extremely indif-
ferent business year. IL is said that
the governing impulse of the Officers
and Directors in declaring dividend
at this particular time was dictated
by today's conditions and their feel
ing that the crisis had passed. This
company is enjoying a continued
prosperous business and views 1922
az an excellent year for business in
general.

nore-I think lot more of a person
who is faithful to someone they've
loved than to marry for the sake Of

JOSEPHINE HART.

The whole community was sad
dened when the news came OF the
death of little Josephine Hart, which
occurred at the home of her grand
mother, Mrs. J. NJ. RoySton in Fruit
land, Thursday morning, Dec. l, at
7:15. While she had been very i'll
since July I, she had seemed TO be
improving and great hopes were
held out for her recovery, so when
death came, il was great shock to
everyone. She was horn on the Roy
ston farm on Pennsylvania Avenue,
October so. 1912, and has lived in
Fruitland most of the time since
She was a member and a most regu-
lar attender of the Methodist Sunday
School. Wherever she went she
carried her sweet smile and sunny
disposition and was loved by every
one who knew her.
During her illness, she still retain
ed these, and was patient until the
last. She will be greatly missed at
home and every place she was known
as nothing can ever take her place.
BY losing this little girl we have lost
one o our dearest children, and the
most we can say is, "She budded on
earth. to bloom in Heaven"
Funeral services were held from
the Fruitland Church, Sunday after
noon, at 2 o'clock. conducted by
Rev. George Todd. and interment
made in Riverside cemetery, Monday
morning, the body being held on
account of Lafe Royston, who was
coming from Canada, being delayed.
