SAVINGS BANK LIFE INSURANCE A Good Record for the First Year. Robertson G. Hunter, state actuar: reports that the Massachusetts sa ings banks which have established in- surance departments (at Brockton and ‘Whitman) have just rendered to the siate banking and insurancs commis- sioners their annual report as required by the law. Although the year just completed (October 31) was the first full year of experience that the banks had had insurance, it has been found that each of them has been able to keep intact the guaranty funds, to set aside the full legal reserve, to pay interest on the'guaranty funds and are now ready to declare to policyholders a dividend of 8 1-3 per cent. Mr. Hunter further expounds the situation: This means that the banks are relurnln&onl monthly premium to every 'policyholder who has paid 12 months’ prémiums. For a whole year we have preached the advantages of savings bank Insurance. We have said that the entire plan was being oper- ated unselfishly for the benefit of the licyholders alone. We now point to e first year's dividends as evidence of the truth of our statements. A year ago the state actuary claimed that the premiums were 25 per cent. less than the rates of the large industrial com- panies. Since that time the industrial companies have cut their rates ten per cent. Accordingly for a time the savings banks were offering insur- ance at 15 per cent. less than the com- panies. Now they are again offering insurance at 23 1-3 per cent. less than the industrial companles. Restoring Farm Land. The world will not soon starve. The fertility of the soil is increasing and there is no such thing as the exhaus- tion of land. The chief of the bureau of soils of the depertment of agricul ture recently wrote & pamphlet or bul- letin which gives negation to the croaks of soil pessimists. The pro- ductiveness of land in the TUnited States is Increasing. The average wheet yield per acre in this country is two bushels larger than it was 40 years ago, ttough the corn yleld per acre is lightly lower. Ignorant or careless tillage has de- spoiled much American land of its fer- tility. New England has a vast acre- age of “abandoned farms,” though the acreage is not so large as it was a few years ago. This result due both to improvement of cultural methods and to the high price of farm produce. Around Washington, particularly southward, !s a big area of wornout land given over to old flelds, pine scrub pine and brush. This brought about by indefensible methods of husbandry. This land can be re- stored. Goodly patches have been made fertile. The restoration of land requires; some capital. It costs money to lrmt‘ it with commercial fertilizer. It also | costs morey to restore it by the legume “ route. Clover seed is not cheap, and it | takes time-“to get a stand of clover| when the start is made on poor land. A farmer whose bank balance is not big (and there are such despite current reports), who has fields of poor land, faces quite a problem in bringing up this land to a high degree of fertility. It can be done, but there are difficul- tles tv be overcime.—Washington Star. Would Queer the Doctor.

PEOPLE’S MARKET, * 6 Franklin St. First Regular Session 61st Congress—Senate in Session Thirteen Minutes, the House Forty Minutes—Presi- ‘Washington, Dec, 6.—The two houses of congress‘ convened today for the first regular session of the Sixty-first congress, but the day's proceedings were in a great part of a social na- ture and practically no business was transacted. Senator Bailey Wants Night Sessions Brief as was the senate’s thirteen- minute session it was enlivened by an unsuccessful effort by Senator Bai- ley to defeat the passage of the usual resolution that the daily sessions be- gin at noon, his suggestion being thtt the senate should convene instead at two o'clock. Mr. Bailey said he would like to see the senate hold night ses- sions 8o that senators might devote the day to individual business. No objection was offered when a similar resolution was introduced in the house. President Notified That Congress Was in Session. A joint committee was named by both houses to wait upon the president and to inform him that congress was in session and ready .for any business he might wish to lay before it. The president’s response will constitute his annual message, the reading of which will consume practically all of tomor- row's sessions of the two houses. The house session continued forty minutes, during which W. W. McCre- die, the new representative from the Second Washington district, who suc- ceeds the late Francis W. Cushman, was sworn in. The greater part of the session was taken up by the roll call Bills Offered in House. Although only 341 members respond- ed to their names, almost a full mem- bership appeared on the house floor, and there were few amohg them that did not have one or more bills to of- fer. These included one by Represen- tative Garner (Pennsylvania) for an investigation by congress of the en- tire customs service, particularly in regard to sugar frauds recently brought to light; one by Representa- tive Hitchcock (Nebraska), for the es- tablishment of postal savings banks; one by Representative Mann (Illinois) for federal suppression of white slave DIED AT 97. Out of Door Life Proved to Be Bene- ficial to This Man. Alexander Clark died at the home of his daughter in Haddam Neck, on Thursday, in his 97th year. He was born March 5, 1813, at Haddam Neck, and had always lived on the paternal farm with the exception of one year when he was employed on the Erle canal and two winters which he spent in Meriden. . He was a farmer and a mechanic and was unusually methodical in all he did. He was a trustee of the M. E. church and abided by the tenets He was a democrat in and always voted with that of that faith. politics, R — dent’s Message at Noon Today. trade; and another by Mr. Mann for the free admission of wood pulp; and one by Representative Hamilton (Michigan) to grant statehood to New Mexico and Arizona. Leaders Conversed Amiably. There were the customary crowds in the galleries of the two houses and the usual scenes attending an opening day of congress were re-enacted on the floors. The leaders of the ma- jority and the minority were there and conversed amiably, all of the bitter- ness engendered by the tariff fight of last summer apparently having been forgotten for the time being at least. Resolutions of Respect. Resolutions of respect for the mem- ory of Senator Johnson of North Da- kota,. Representatives De Armond and Lassiter, who died during the recess, were adopted, and as a further mark of respect the two houses adjourned until noon tomorrow, the senate at 12.13 and the house at 12.40 p. m. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS To Elect Successor to Culberson of Texas, Who is to Resign. ‘Washington, Dec, 6.—With great se- riousness the democratic members of the senate met in caucus today to elect a successor to Senator Culberson of Texas, who has determined to resign as chairman of the caucus because of ill health. A tentative programme has been ar- ranged by which Mr. Money, vice chairman, was to be elevated to the leadership and was to decline because of disinclination to take upon himself such duties because of ill health. Sen- .ator Bacon was then to be selected as chairman. ‘With this programme egreed upon, Senator Culberson’s letter was read to the assemblage, and then it was dis- covered that he had not resigned the chairmanship, but had merely stated his purpose of so doing. Immediately all the well laid plans of the senators were upset and further action was postponed until definite ac- tion is taken by the Texas senator. _— JUNK DEALERS’ LAW. Requirements Very Rigid—Heavy Pen- alty Provided for Violation of Them. The new law regarding junk deal- ers, passed by the general assembly at its last session, is very much more stringent than the old law and there is considerable doubt in the minds of a good many people if all junk dealers in Maddletown are living up to its pro- vieions. The police intend to keep a close watch on these men and if they fafl to comply with the law they will be prosecuted. The new law provides a fine of not more than $25, or impris- onment for not more than three mcnths, or both, for any violation of constantly out of doors, winter, and it was the t of door life that en- abled him to live to such a good old age. He was married four times and died a widower. He had been cared nt years by his only sur- ild, Mrs, Frank Taylor. Mr. Clark was of revolutionary ancestry. his grandfather, Robert Clark, having served in the revolutionary war.— Middletown Sun. PARROT WAS 24. Death of Pet Bird at Middletown—In- telligence of “Joe”—His Love for Pranks. “Joe,” perhaps one of the greatest parrots that ever mimicked anyone, has passed on to his reward, after having lived for some little time be- yond the allotted span-of a parrot's life, says the Middletown Sun. He was 24 years and six months old, and was a favorite of the late Henry Woodward. TUpon his death, some- time ago, Miss Mary Murphy, who had been employed in the Woodward fam- ily for years, and who was greatly at- tashed to Joe, took him to the home of her mother in South Farms, where he had since resided. Mr. Woodward purchased Joe when he was about six months old, and trained him to become a well behaved parrot. Joe was a good pupil and was a great talker. At times he displayed intelligence that was nearly human. Once, when Mr. Woodward was about to leave on a long trip, Joe was greatly indignant because he was not bidden good-bye with the rest of the family. Mr. Woodward had entered a hack, its provisions. The particular feature of the new law fcllows and ¥ is this that there is doubt about many of the junk dealers observing: “Every license granted under the provisions of this section shall desig- nate the place whi such business is to be carried on, and shall comtinue for one year, unless sooner revoked. Every such dealer shall keep a book in which shall be written in English a description of such article, the name, residerce, and a general description of the person from whom, and the time and hour when such propérty was recelved; and such book, and the place where such busines is carried on, and all articles of property mentioned therein, may be examined at any time by the selectmen of the town. or any person designated by them, and in any city or borough by the chief of police of such city or borough, or any per- son by him designated. Every such dealer shall make, weeklv, sworn statement of all his transactions un- der such license, describing the goods received,and setting forth the name, recidence, and a description of the persor from whom such goods were received, to the chief of police in the cate of cities or boroughs, and in oth- er cases to the town olerk of the town ix which =ald junk dealer resides, and =hall keep all goods purchased by him least five days before disposing of them.—Middletown Paper. Three Unique Features. There were three unique features about the Seattle show that are wor- thy of record: First, it is the only exposition among those just named that did not receive government aid. Second, it was the first and only preparatory, to being driven to the station, when Joe yelled out in en- treating accents: “Say, Henry, ain’t vou golng to say good-bye to Joe?’ Mr. Woodward complied with the re- quest with the admonition “to be a good boy,” and Joe replied that he was always good. Joe was also somewhat of a tease, and he seemed to have belligerent proclivities for cats. He once got two cats so wrathy that they prepared to wage war upon him. The parrot was having a high/old time until he saw the cats were stealthily making plans to attack the cage. Then, becoming alarmed, he yelled in terrifying tones: Jelp! Murder! Police!” All the neighbors rushed in—the cries being so realistic—and then when his ma- jesty saw that he was protected, he chucked to himself in great glee, and ended by gl.vlnz the cats a great scold- ing, emphasized by ejaculations that were not exactly along the Sunday- school line. The butchers and marketmen were all friends of Joe and he greeted them by their first names with,a cheery good morning when they stopped at the house wi When the big clients who frequent Samuel Untermeyer's law office in- quire for him this week they will be told that he is busy. Mr. Untermyer is busy most of the time, for that matter, but usually he -finds oppor- tunity to see the big clients. Now he is defending a woman so poor that she couldn’t hire a lawver to save her life, and that is just what she needs a lawyer for. In the past, a good many poor people accused of crime have been prosecuted in New York by the best lawyers of the district attor- ney’s office and defended by members of the bar who hung around the‘crim- inal courts building waiting for some- thing to turn up. The defendants were at_an obvious disadvantage. So, when Mr. Untermyer last Sep- tember accepted Judge Malon's as- signment to defend Augusta Chrig- | tanti, who had stabbed her husband to death, his action, and that of the court, seemed like important steps in much-needed reform. Hils fee, pald by the county, will be $500, and no matter ‘what the outcome of the trial may be, he will earn it. He is work- ing with characteristic epergy for his client.
