Wouldn't YOU prefer having YOUR business handled by the people you place it with? Not placed in an agencv changing with "every change of the moon" Placing outside of HOFFMAN'S INSURANCE AGENCY with some other because "he's a neighbor" or "a friend of mine" may make him a most costly friend and upon renewal (or at the time of a fire if you should be so unfortunate) find it in the hands of some other agent an agency in which you have little or no confidence. Hoffman's Insurance Agency has been in business since 1847; the chances are it will be in in 1947. Masons Elect; Officers. Mt. Sterliuti Lodue Nc. l2'A.

"Congress Bakes lots of caaecessary trouble for tbe gOTernnent clerks." said a reteraa employee, "bat tbe worst case I know of occurred some years ago. A certain senator asked tbe comptroller of tbe currency to tell blm bow much stock a certain man bad la a national bank. He was in formed that such informaOoa was re garded as confidential aad could not be gtren out " We11 see about that' said the sen ator, who was plainly disappointed aad displeased. "Several days later he secured the passage' of a resolution calling upon tbe secretary of the treasury to fur nish the senate with the names and holdings of the stockholders In all the national banks la the country. He really wanted to know only the later est of one man in a bank, but he new that be couldn't get a resolution of that kind through the senate, so be includ ed the stockholders In all national banks. "It took the eatlre force of the comp troller's office several weeks to pre pare the Information, and wbea it j reached the senate nobody paid any at tention to It except tbe author of the I resolution, and be merely looked at the 1 mass of vpapers only long enough to see about the man be, was after and then tossed the papers aside. It was an immense lot of work for nothing." i Washington Star. A Wsnderful Toy. Perhaps tbe most wonderful toy In the world Is owned by a Russian prince, who lavished a fortune of ?C0. 000 on a mechanical theater. The stage Is titted up with every accessory In the shape of scenery and machinery that modern skill bns devised, and the act ors are figures as large as life, all dressed ns sumptuously and appropri ately as their living prototypes. The prince's repertoire covers almost all the most popular operas, and It is only necessary to press a button to set the whole marvelous machinery In motion. The actors make their entry on the stage and play their varied parts with appropriate gesture, while a number of phonographs supply tbe vocal parts In tbe voices of tbe leading operatic sing ers.

An interesting new tropical prod uct is the "'root cotton," described by S. Kusano, a Japanese botanist. It is a fibrous covering of the roots of Fagara inttgrifoliola, an abundant plant of the Philippines, and espe cially of Botel Tobago, an island near Formosa. The substance seems to be a kind of cork tissue, resen -bling the ordinary cork leveloped on the bark of trees. The fibers, of light straw color and silky luster, are very fine, soft, and weak, and are easily pulverized to a waxy powder. They are less hygroscopic than ordi nary cotton, having remarkable re sistance to wetting by water. In Botel Tobago the natives use the root cotton for calking boats, and in the Philippines it is employed for such purposes as stuffing pillows. Not least of the advantages of this mate rial as n possible article of commerce is the fact that it can be removed without injury to the roots, thu9 making cultivation simple.
