Mason’s Annuity As
sets Passes Half Mil
lions Mark
Atlanta, Oct. 10, —Secretary
George E. Argard, of the Masons’
Annuity today reported that the
accumulated assets of the order
had more than passed the half mil
lion mark. In fact, to be exact,
the igures are $525,919.01,
Throughout the scuth this an
nouncement will be received with
keen interest and pleasure.
The amount paid to beneficiaries
of Masons and disabled brothers
is $317,613.565, The record is pro
bably without a parallel in the
history of fraternal orders, for, as
is generally known, the order
startcd without a cent fourteen
years ago. All the funds of the
order, solely for the benefit of
Masons and their families, are in
vested in high grade municipal
bonds.
Being purely a mutual organiza
tion, without any capital stock, its
entire assets represent the securi
ty behind its members, it in pro
portion to its size 1s one of the
strongest institutions in the world.
The order has been responsible for
many works of a beneficient and
philantnropic character. Thou
sands have expressed their grati
tude for ‘he financial assistance
which 1t afforded in the hour when
it was most needed,

Mrs, Eddy’s Will
Declared Yoid
eciarea Yoid,
Massachusetts Court Holds
the $2,000,000 Trust Fund
is Invalid.
Boston, Oct. 9—A trust fvndesti
mated at $2,000,000 created by the
will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy,
founder of the Christian science
church, for the benefit of the de
nomination, was declared void by
the Massachusetts supreme court
today.
The court holds, however, that
a charitable trust has been createc
and that new trustees may be ap
pointed to administer,
The trust was to have been ad
ministered by the directors, of the
mother church in Boston, but the
court decided that the trust pro
visions were nullified under the
statute limiting the amount of the
income from bequests to religious
organizations to £2,000 annually.
The court dismissed the bill
brought by the contestants of the
will, who alleged that the teach
ings of Christian Science were
against public policy., The con
testants, however, are given thirty
days in which to vring in addition
al evidence to support their claim.
Mental Cruelty is
Grounds for Divorce
---Judge Ellis
Atlanta, Oct. 10.—Judge Ellis
of the superior court ruled yester
day that if a wife lies awake at
night and insists on talking to her
husband hour after hour when he
wants and needs to go to sleep,
such treatment is just cause for a
divorce. |
“There can be mental as well asl
physical cruelty,” declared the
judge in rendering his opinion,
“and to keep & working man
awake night after night, to nag at
him and break his rest, 1s one of
the most unreasonable forms of
cruelty I can imagine.”
Eleven more divorces were
granted yesterday. Most however,
were for the more old fashioned
kind of cruelty, in which the hus
‘band took his fist to the wife or
the wife used a rolling pin or
'brick»bab on the husband.
All the suits were undefended.
The Wail Street Journal frank
ly admits 1n a recent issue that
whatei er may come of the investi
gations into foreign credit systems,
‘‘one thing is certain: namely,
that no industry has paid more
for its funds than agriculture in
the past.” The National banks
are of more direct service to !mer
cantile and manufacturing indus
tries than they are to agriculture.”
Other countries have developed a
system of banking ‘‘especially
adopted to the need of rural en
terprises,” but neither State nor
Nation has done so for us. We
farmers knew all this before, but
it is pleasant to see it admitted by
others. We need not expect others
to do much, however, to help us
provide the banking facilities we
need. That is something we will
have to work out for ourselves—
and ftight for after we have worked
it out.—The Progressive Farmer.
Every reader should be getting
ready to exhibit his finest farm
products this fall at the nearest
fair. Don’t decide that it is not
worth while to do it, or that it will
not pay, for it will pay—if not in
dollars and cents, certainly in the
satisfaction you will get from it
and in the good it will do. The
local fair can be made a great edu
cational factor as well as a yearly
means of enjoyment, and it is
every farmer’s duty to help make
his fair a success. Don’t forget,
either, that it must be a fit place
for ladies and .children to go.—
