POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

It will be the policy of the Society hereafter not to make contributions to political campaigas. It is my opinion that we have no right to use the funds of the Society for any such purpose.

REAL ESTATE MORTGAGER. In the last ten years this Socialy has loaned over 3. $120,00,000 on real estate mortgages, Only in six of mostly in large cities. these cases has it bad to take

EXTRAORDINARY EXPENRES IN 1905.

I congratulate you and all policyholders in solvant concerns on the reformatory results to the agitation of the past year.
