It will also be recorded as the ! year in which the Prudential Insurance ) Company of America wrote over $309,of new paid-for life insurance. | This would have been a splendid record 1 in ihe piping times of prosperity. It i is a most extraordinary record of suc- | cess in view of the universal business depression which characterized the : year 1908. The facts of the depression and the figures of The Fruuential irreconcilable. But it may be j true that the disturbed conditions « ere | influential on the one hand in causing the consideration of a wise provision for the future through life insurance 1 On the other hand, The Prudential's new low-cost Ordinary, Industrial and Income policies offered ad van - | of life and income insurance which appealed to those who were considering Insurance protection. The high standing of The Prudential also makes it possible to do business satisbecause there can be no doubt of a Prudential promise. Whatever the conclusion, the fact remains that in a year of great financial stringency, there was enough cash in the country and sufficient desire on the part of the public to buy and pay for $809,000,000 of Prudential insurance.

TIE OCEAN 5 BOULEVARD E BEEtlNS AT C6UIT NOUSE 1 Refrescuti'e let Uisciss Pr»ject u4 AlTKite it StTMRlj The largest and most enthusiastic meeting ever held by the Ocean Boulevard Committee of New Jersey, ac- , cording to the version of the President ^ of the Committee, Mayor T. Frank d Appleby, of Aabury Park, was the one Saturday afternoon in the (court room a t| Court House, when the residents of 0 Cape May County and particularly B from the sections comprising the aeaf shore resorts turned out in large num0 bere and heartily approved the project for a splendid wide boulevard from At- ' lan tic Highlands to Cape May City. 's The meeting waa presided over by W. Scott Hand, of Ocean City. e SHOWS ^MERITS. Mayor Appleby, of Asbury Park, made an address in support of the pro1 ject! .showing the great benefits that e would accrue .to all sections of the State by the building of the boulevard. He Jspoke of the vaat sums of money that are oeing expended in other States for good roads and showed now this £ State, had formerly held a position e among the leaders in point of good roads, but in the past few years had fallen behind. He called attention to . the fact that the boulevard would not 1 only he a benefit to the numerous seat shore resorts in bringing hundreds of : visiting automoDiiists to them, but would also be a great benefit to the ' farmers and residents of tne rural districts in providing good roads for driv- ■ ing to and from tne seashore resorts ; and cities to dispose of their produce. NEEDS COMPLETE SUPPORT. 3 John A. Githens, Jr., of Asbury Park, secretary of the committee, expained the work done by the commit- ' tee, the support that had been given - it by ali sections in which meetings - had been held, and asked his bearers for their assistance when the bill 5ftS?,S£ ! Senator Robert E. Hand, of Cape , May County, said the money used in . the const, uction of the boulevard was not to be taken from the schools and 3 other necessary avenues. He was 1 heartily in favor of the construction of , the road. , Assemblyman Corvsille E. Stille also j | spoke interestingly on the subject and ' showed that he lavored the project. I MANY MAYORS ATTEND. j ' The Mayors and representatives of j 1 the various seashore resorts, boroughs I I and townships were called upon to ex- j press their views and many suggestions I I j in favo. of the project were expressed. I jj J.Albert Harris, of Wiidwood, in- , j troducod a mo. ion in favor of the 1 Board of r reeholders of Cape May ■ | County making an appropriation to the I I Ocaen Boulevard Committee to help , j defray the expenses of the excellent ( worx that is being done in the en- ' deavor to carry the project uirough to ' completion, which was unanimously j 1 1 adopted. . 1 1 At a joint meeting of the committees I' I representing the County Board of j Freeholders, of Cape Maj County, the 1 : city of Ocean City, the city of Sea Isle I 1 1 City,, and the townships of Upper and j • i Lower, at Ocean City, N. J., January I | 20th, 1909, it was resolved that they | ' j place themselves on record as favoring | ' I the construction of the Ocean Boule- I ' " | vard in as direct a course as can be | determined consistent with economical ! construction, and that a diversion of | - . I the line by way oy May's Landing [ | would defeat the intended purpose, j I furthermore, that, in order that the , . I ocean shore roads now existing may ! . j be connected, the building of the j ' 1 bridge connecting Somer's Point with i • | Cape May County should receive the j ; first consideration when the work of construction is undertaken.

Mr. Editor: You neglected to mention in your of t^e Gold Spring Grange meet1 ing last week several important details. Perhaps you. recall the speech of Surrogate Vanaman in which he 1 suggested employing "Sister Belle" for speechm&king if be ever ran for office again. And the good sister immediately gave her word that she would "take the stump" for nim if be ran again, upon conditions, viz: "Thatit8hall be when Senator occupies the presidential chair and Senator Gaunt ihe vice-preaidenuai chair. Surrogate Vanaman to be runfor Congress." (That last is not Ed. ] Then "Sister Belle" also stipulated that she shall be National Levtorer. Dd^fcot forget before you'are through with the Grange news that former Superintendent A. W. Hand waa called on for a speech and made a very acceptable one. He began by sayuig that1 had a right to call every man there i "brother, " because of other atfilia- : tions, and was willing to regaid all the i ladies present as nis "sisters." He ! said he did not understand how an 1 eminent agriculturist like himself est aped being enrolled but it bad ( and as the Lecturer had sug- ' gested, he would nave to be "ashamed." He spoke ol the value of o ganization I and the necessity for education in agriI culture as a lorerunner to success and (prosperity. At Uie suggestion of a I certain member and because 01 his ; well known interest in the educational I advancement of the entire county, the "Ode to Cape May County" was suag ! in his honor. Prosecutor Lloyd, who was an in- ( vited guest, was called upon and made i a few interesting remarks. The Pros- ( ecutor is quiie.popular and is making ' a very creditable record. GRANGER.
