Mr.. and Mrs. n. Ray Pooler mo.
tored to Boothbay Harber Sunday.
New Britain herald., 1924-12-11

It Is worth our while to bring to the policyholder not only the informa- ton that his funds are safe and properly invested. but also an under standing of the fact that his funds are at work in assisting in the pro- duction of necessities of life: that while a large percentage Of policy holders do not directly produce any food products or the raw material for clothing, every policyholder has a farm investment, and life insurance funds do help feed the nation.
 Tn our Increasingly complex so- cial order, with its emphasis on money as q means of satisfying ma terial wants, there is an evident ten- dency to substitute the symbol for the thing symboIized. Where the family of a few generations ago looked forward 10 the coming winter with serenity or concern in the de- gree that the woodshed was filled with fuel and the cellar was filled with food, on generation thinks, not in terms of fuel and food. but in terms of pay checks and bank &C., counts.
 And yet, 1t remains as much fact now as at anv time in human history mat materia. wants are sat- islic1 only Ey materilI things. Food and clothing remain tke paramount physical npcessitiea oi nlnEkind. We can eat only the food we produce: we can wear only the clothes VIC make.
 Just as 1t is true that increase In land values do not represent an equivalent of accumulated capital, so 1t Is also true that the increase in farm mortgage indebtedness does not represent an equivalent loss to agriculture. The increase in farm mortgage indebtedness up to 1920 is due primarily to a change Tn land ownership. Since 1920 this item has had a contributing factor in the conversion of other indebtedness in- 10 farm mortgages as a matter of re- financing. This other indebtedness arises primarily from increased re- quirements for operating capital.
 That increases in farm mort gagcs do not indicate loss in agri- cultural operation is conclusivery shown by the fact that the decade
  agricultural prosperity. produced an increase in mortgage indebtedness of more than s2.217, 900, ,000."

LIFE INSURANCE
 LOANS DOUBLED
Advances on Farms Greatly In.
 creased in Five Years

New York, Dec. ii.-'rhe life in. surance companies have moro than doubled the amount Of their loans on farms In this country In the last five years, in addition 10 responding to housing needs in many cities and to various other nationwide calls upon the investment funds held for pollcyholders. In reporting on this phase of the financing of American agriculture, at the 18th annual con- vention of the Association of Life In- surance Presidents here this after noon. General Counsel C. Petrus Peterson, of the Bankers Life h. snrance Company, Lincoln, Neb,, and that the Outstanding farm mortgage loans of the life companies had in- creased from sS59, 9,000,000 at the end Of 1919 to s1.7Sl,0O0,000 on Septem- her 30 of this year, A net addition of s20S,000.e0O was made to their farm loan holdings by these com panies during 1928 and s11S,000,- GOO more during the first nine months of 1924.
 The continuing desrabilty of farm mortgage loans as investments for life insurance funds and the part that life insurance companies are taking in furnishing agricultural capital" said MT. Peterson, Ifs re- vealed by the fact that during re- cent years investments in farm loans have been increasing at n more rapid rate than the total assets of the companies. At the end of 1919 the proportion Of total assets of these companies so invested was 13.9 per cont. At the end of September of this year, period of less than five years, the proportion had risen to '13.1 per cent.
 Individual Effort
 "Our national philosophy pivots on individual effort and individual mi tiativc. The portion of our popula- ton best situated to perpetuate this ideal is the farm owner and farm operator. Unlike industrial enter prises, however, where aggregations of capital may be made available in the form of corporate assets, the farmer remains an individual opera tor, in the main, and must finance his operations as, an individual quite Independent of organized effort.
 "It Is reasonable 10 assume that the comparative absence Of coopera- five financing of agriculture in our country is duo to the existence among US Of the greatest coorera- tive organization for mobilization of capital in the world in the form of American life insurance. and to the availability Of these resources for agricultural needs.
 Bearing in mind that these sums Wc speak of as life insurance funds are not representative Of large in- diyidual fortunes but arc made up from the small sums contributed by millions of thrifty, thoughtful and stable citizens whose primary aim is to secure protection for the home and the loved ones who live therein.
