It Is because of this extensive Interest and because we believe there la a keen desire for de pendable Information on thla subject that It has been determined to publish a aeries of short talks in Life Insurance, or which 'this is No. Land knowing aa we do that the better our readera under stand the subject the more certain will be their desire for Nprtbwestern Mutual nollclea. That the publlo la taking life Insur ance In lara-e amounts and - with in creasing ' discernment , is evidenced . by the fact that the Northwestern Mutual has issued $91,600,000.00 new Insurance during the first 11 niontns or iuo, which is an Increase of 117.600.000.00 over tha corresponding period of 1(04.

According to state ments published by the Commercial Geographical society of Parte tha world's production of petroleum last year was divided aa follows: United States, 11,000,000 tons; Russia. 10.400. 000: Sumatra, Java and Borneo, 1,000.- 000; Roumanla, 4(6,000; tha East Indies, 404.000; all others, 860,08. Astonish ment is felt In regard ta Roumania's rapid Increase from an insignificant po sition to one whieh. tf it goea on In creasing, will onabla it to compete with Russia. The Ruaslan papers are some what surprised at the presence or i rival so near their borders. The pro ductlon of 1(04 waa more than 8,000,000 tona larger than that of 1(08. Tha yield of 1(01. because of tha terrible loases In Russia, will hardly reach, that of 1(08. It -would not be aurprlalng If the figures Bheuld show It much Issa than for any year la the laat decade. The effect on the petroleum markets will be felt in many parts of the world, for petroleum haa long been regarded even by remote, regions aa a necessity. jt.c,m.ftrswUA-ciear irHUi part cargBca I GREAT FALLING OFF IN , ; .ok fm ior xoreign--ports.
