One of the local ventures that seems to have swung into the highway of success is the Farmers’ Union Mutual Fise Insurance Company. Because of alleged heavy losses on farm risks, most of the stock companies long ago either refused those risks altogether or accepted them at rates that threatened the farmer’s possessions, more than did the fire fiend. As a result they, in many places, united to carry their own insurance. These local companies have proved fairly successful and of great advantage to farmers. The usual premium is a small cash payment and a note for a supplementary sum It is hoped that the losses will be met by the cash but if not, collections are made on the notes to supply the sum required. The notes and cash together always equal an amount that will with practical certainty exceed the losses, so that all policies are secure. The worst that could happen within the range of any sort of probability would be that insurers would be called upon to cash the notes they had given. With operating expenses at the lowest point and the risks all carefully selected, in- surers know that they are getting insurance at cost and are satisfied. We believe this method is the proper one for farmers and trust that having kept a careful eye on the management, they will stand by these organizations even when the stress comes. Suppose the premium note has to be paid; it the losses make it necessary there is no ro m for complaint. A man must either pay the cost of insur- ance or go without any. - The Victoria County Company has done well. Its growth has been as much in popular favor as in assets. It is doing the work that it set out to do and doing it under the direction of the government. Farmers see the logic of its method and the sincerity of its purpose and the most conservative and shrewd amoog them are among its patrons. We commend the Farmers’ Mutual to our agri- culturist readers. THE LIGHT QUESTION . The Light, Heat and Power Co. has presented its ultimatum. It is not necessary that the bad grace into which that word has come of late should be attached to that deliverance. It is definite and business likeâ€"a thing to be accepted or rejected. The anxiety of council for the next few days will be to discover which. That is not an easy task. It should have been. That it is not is the fault of the lighting committee. The people began early enough to get ready for the company’s last word when it should come. They appointed men to find out the things that ought to be known when that time should arrive. They gave those men time, secrecy, money, and the utmost confidence. The time is past, the money spent, the confidence betrayed, and to day instead of the information needed, the people have a committee who publicly repudiate their own report and declare that what they said a civic plant would cost, is really not what it will cost and that their statement is a public deception. After alLthe time and expense the council not people have any- This time of year is known t . new goods are crowding us for store room, and something must be done. have cut the former prices in two.
