The forms under the last arch of the
new bridge were removed Tuesday af-
ternoon, by manipulating the water
level in the river so as to feat them
away on barges on which they rested
This was done by the cooperation of
the Consolidated and the Nekoosa-
Edwards Paper Co. Any danger of
damage to the bridge by high water
is thus removed, it is stated. The
work on the roadway and the lower
sidewalk of the bridge is going for
ward rapidly, and the boxing for the
water mains is also being laid The
south half of the roadway will thus
be ready for use in the near future, it
is anticipated.

The annual statement Of The Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company shows
how its policyholders feel about the mat
ter, because Of all the insurance issued by
it in 1921, more than 1870 was issued
upon applications Of men already insured
in the Northwestern. THAI is pretty good
evidence that policyholders consider the
Company fair and square, and when
a company forms the habit it will con-
tinue 10 be fair and square" after It's
policies mature.
A policy natures" when i becomes pay
able to the insured or TO the beneficiary Or
benefciaTies named therein. It is Of the
utmost importance that q company always
have sufficient funds with which to pay
claims promptly when called upon TO do SO.
The law requires ali life insurance conpa-
MES constantly to maintain sinking fund
for that purpose and prescrioes the method
of computing the fund, which is called the
reserve. On January l, 1922 the law
required the Northwestern to have re-
serve" amounting to over $50 million dol
lars, and on that day it had assets to the
amount Of 5O7 million dollars. IF these as
sets were good, then the reserve was safe.
Just exactly how good these assets are
may be judged from the fact that 224 mil
lion dollars of them are in first lien, real
estate mortgages l55 million in farm and
So million in city 1oans) on property val
ued al 724 million; $50 million in United
States and other high-grade bonds, and
76 million in advances made to policy
holders upon the security of the cash
value Of their own policies.
The statement shows that the Northwest
ern had a reserve for contingencies" over
all liabilities amounting to some "a million
dollars.
The Northwestern did not break any rec
ords in writing new policies in 1921, but it
progressed and prospered. It had the big
gest and best financial year in its history,
permitting it to continue it's established
dividend scsle" throughout 1922. This

It is not a dividend, however, in the
