The Sullivan Review last week
took occasion to inform its readers
that the News Item had secured the
printing of the election ballots, gave
the price of our bid and numerated
all the work done, in a manner that
would indicate that our price was ri
diculously low. With a modern
equipment like that < < this office the
iob was only a small affair. It
seems to appear, however, to a back
number establishment such as may
be found in Dushore, to be a huge
undertaking.
A large party of engineers who
have been making a survey for the
proposed Williamsport and Bing
tiamtonrailroad stated that the work
of construction would begin as soon
as the engineers complete their work.
What route they will cover from
Loyalsockville to Williamsport is
only a matter of conjecture. Some
predict that the road will be built to
Montoursville and connection made
there with the Reading railway,
□there scout this opinion. They ar
»ue that the new railroad will be a
competitor of the W. «& N. B. R.
and it would not be good policy to
be on friendly terms with the Read
ing. People in a position to know
assert that when the new railroad is
built, a spur will be constructed from
the head of Loyalsock creek to Eag
les Mere. This would make Eagles
Mere more directly accessible from
Williamsport and New York state.
The Fifty-fifth Annual Report
of the Penn Mutual Life In
surance Company, of Phila.
The fifty- fifth annual report of The
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. in
vites the consideration not only of its
many policy holders in this vicinity
but also of the insuring public in gen
eral as well. This Company, organ
ized in 1847, stands to-day in the
very front rank of safe and sound in
stitutions. Beginning in a small way,
its growth has been gradual along
safe and conservative lines. The bus
iness done during the year 1902 ex
ceeded that done in any previous year,
the total amount of insurance written
being $69,632,777, or over $7,000,000
in excess of that of 1901.
The business of 1902 was the most
sxceessful in the company's history,
29,729 men and women having been
added to its list of policy holders.
The total amount of insurance now
held in the Penn Mutual reaches the
sum of $276,110,015. The assets of
the Company now amount to $54,682-
956; liabilities, $48,090,122; leaving a
9 lrplus of $6,592,834. Since the or
ganization of the Company there has
been paid to policyholders the sum of
$67,762,394., a fact of itself which
affords indisputable evidence of the
beneficence of this institution.
The mortality record of the Com
pany for 1902 is of especial interest.
The provision for death losses during*
the year was $3,834,655. The actual
death losses were but $2,602,945., or |
about 68 per cent of the amount fcr
which provision was made. There
fore out of every One Hundred Dollars
put aside for death losses, the Com
pany saved $32.00, a mast remarkable
record, and one that is unsurpassed
by few, if any, Companies doing bus
iness,
And again, the interest account
shows that the Company's securities
are cf tte very best, as is evidenced
by the remarkable fact that the over
bue interest on mortgages was less
than one-fiftieth of one per cent at the
end of 1902. The Company earned
and collected for interest during 1902
more than $300,000. in excess of the
reserve requirement, —an admirable
record indeed.
The Old Penn Mutual is firmly
established in public confidence; its
success has been great, but it means
togo on. The business of this State
is very large and this result has been
greatly aided by the business secured
by Messrs. Bourne & Durham, of Nos.
405-414 Stephen Girard Building,
Philadelphia, General Managers for
N. E. & Central Pennsylvania. The
year just closed was the most success
ful in the history of the Agency,there
having been issued through their
office a handsome increas over that
done during the year previous, which
exceeds three million in volume.
The Agency is one of the largest of
the Company, having representatives
with offices in all the principal cities
of N. E. & Central Pennsylvania, as
well as a large and efficient corps of
agents in Philadelphia, cf whom both
the Company and Messrs. Bourne &
Durham are justly proud.
The Penn Mutual is ably and suc
cessfully represented in this vicinity
by M. A. SCUREMAN, District Agent,
Rooms 19 & 2o Welles Building,
Wi!kes Barre, Pa.
1111 boil Grange Ideas.
We In Illinois confine the member
ship of our granges very closely to
farmers. We admit schoolteachers
when they teach in the country and are
closely connected with country life,
but we have never been In the habit
of taking in members who are not eli
gible In the strictest construction of the
term.
I notice a great deal of difference in
that matter In the different states
where the national grange holds its ses
sions. In New England especially
there are many admitted to member
ship who are In business and profes
sional life and not strictly farmers.
This helps to make the national meet
ings Interesting, as in each place we
go we find a different variety of mem
bers and in consequence a variety in
the work that is done.
In one section of the country one
department of work is made prominent
and another In some other state. This
is, of course, aside from the great gen
eral plan of the work of the Order.—
Mrs. Martha Wilson.
The Grange aa an Educator.
The yearbook of the department of
agriculture speaks of the grange as a
factor In agricultural education as fol
lows: The second half of the nineteenth
century has witnessed a great awak
ening of the farmers of this country to
their educational needs and opportuni
ties. This has led to the broadening of
the work and Influence of the general
agencies for their education. The state
and local societies have been supple
mented by great national organisations
such as the Patrons of Husbandry,
which, besides doing a great deal for
the promotion of their general welfare,
have done much to quicken the desire
of multitudes of farmers for definite
education in matters relating to their
art.
The Opportunity Oars.
State Master Ladd of Massachusetts
■aid in his annual address that "at no
time in our history has there been
greater need of farmers organising.
The day of successes by old methods
has passed. New conditions snd com
binations confront us on every band,
better methods and counter organisa
tions are our only hope. If we succeed,
it must be by our own efforts, and the
grange has given us the opportunity."
Vermont added 1,000 new members
the past year, Oregon 1,500, New York
6,000, Michigan 6,000, Massachusetts
1.000 and Maine 5,000. These are the
largest in Increase.
The national grange will probably
meet In St. Louis at the world's fair in
1804. In 1903 it will convene In New
York state.
Michigan Is said to have more grange
halls owned by subordinate granges
than any other state in the Union.
The class at the Massachusetts Agri
cultural college 1s the largest in twenty
years.
The grange is a strong advocate of
the narcels oost. _ .
'A live, flourishing subordinate grange
Chat Is living up to its possibilities is
worth SI,OOO to any town.—Governor
Bachelder, New Hampshire.
New England granges pay more At
tention to the ritualistic work of the
order than those of other states. 80
