carefully selected risks : to collect funds rrom
surviving members , In proportion to age at

Each assoclpton bias created a reserve fur y.id

'OOD INSURANCE YEAR.
"Premiums received about $70,000 , losses

the last rour months oC the year our losses .
were almost nothing. The result Is much
better thnn we could have anticipated , wit 'Inh
the heavy dIsasters of June July and
August , whIch time the unpaid losses were :
$1,000. while today the losses unpaid are :
less than $ ,400 , which Includes alt contested
claims. Isn't that a record to be proud or ,
Wih the business or time year closed up the

The company has been phenomlnaly rortun-

months. When wo have every reason to
expect losses aggregating not less than $ GOOO
for the four months we find that they do not
exceed $600. Thus the company will start
upon its ffeenth year with more vigor than ,
ever. Another thing that Is particular by
gratifying to ins Is the fact that iveste : nfl'
