The Merchants Association held an
interesting meeting last night
Messrs. G. F. Nesbit an insurance ex-
pert, and Mr.. J. Paul Leonard Secre-
tary of the State organization were
present and delivered interesting ad-
dresses.
A number of the Wilson members
of the Association are carrying insur-
ance in the Merchants Mutual Insur-
ance Company which is sponsored by
the state Association, and Mr.. Nesb:t
addressed the members at length
on the advantage of taking out in
surance in their own company and
having the profits returned to them,
after the expenses of operation are
paid. This is not the case he said
with reference to the stock COM
panies where the profits 60 to the
stockholders.
The address of Mr.. Nesbit was very
interesting along general lines. He
stated in the course of his remarks
that the country paid ont $500, ,000,-
900 in insurance and the fires a.
mounted to an average of $400, ,OO0,-
900.
Mr.. Nesbit went over the different
lines of insurance now being handled
by Mutual companies. He said that
a great many lines were now insuring
their particular business and carrying
the risks, and that this had proven
very beneficial from a number of
standpoints. The various lines OF
business had found that by edu-
eating their members to safeguard
their property against fires they had
been able to reduce their own insur-
ance to great extent. He named the
lumber business for instance which
has been considered one of the great
est of risks and naturally carried a
heavy premium. A number of years
ago lumber men were paying a rate
of $500 per hundred, and by cooper
alton and studying the best methods
of fire protection they had been able
to reduce the fire loss and conse-
quently increase the earnings of the
companies, and reduce the cost OF
insurance to the policy holders as
we'll.
Mr.. Nesbit's talk regarding fire
protection, the kind Of buildings to
be erected against fire was also in
teresting. He said that during the
war there were a great many fires
in grain elevators, which the govern
ment believed due to incendiarism,
but that he believed they were caus-
ed from carelessness on account Of
the rapid handling Of grain which
was going abroad.
The government sent to the in
surance managers and told them that
unless the fires ceased the govern
ment would place their inspectors at
the elevators. The fires became less
frequent the insurance men informing
the government that it would take
care of the situation.
Mr.. Nesbit said that mutual cons
'panies were saving their patrons
,fsra, twenty five to thirty percent in
SZl nramiuma or decreased In.

SHE LIVES IN HIDDEN ROOM
Woman Rents Whole House to Tenant,
But Continues to Occupy Part
Of II Secretly.

Philadelphia.-Occupancy Of a Sc
cret room In a building which she had
leased in its entirety to Mrs. Bertha
NJ. Nelson Of Philadelphia, during the
full peroid Of the lease, resulted In
a decision by Judge Repetto, in Allan
tic City, N. J., that Mrs. K. Louise
Barrett must pay the sum of $500 as
a fair rental for the room.
Discovery Of the strange abode of
the owner Of the house did not occur
until several months after the lease
had been executed and possession
taken by the tenant. Mrs. Barrett had
built a room adjoining the porch and
access to it was made by a secret
stairway. The room was entirely shut
off from the rest of the house.
Attempts to dispossess the owner
failed and finally suit was instituted
for rental. Mrs. Nelson rented the
premises for the sum of $500.

where she drew out $500. From there
she went to pawnbrOker's to take
out of pawn some jewelry valued at
81 900, which had belonged to her hus-
