' ' ' From Mr. W. H. Davis of Wapinitia, we learn that hay and grain cutting is nearly closed in his neighborhood. . He believes that crops on the whole, will be below the average.

I took out a Ten-Payment Life Policy im the Equitable npon their Ten-Year Tontine flan, for j to ,000. My premiums during the pido amounted to $37,512.00. The Tontine period expired early in January of the present year, and the Company then offered me the following ternw of settlement; - FIRST A paid up policy for .....$40,000 00- : , '' ' i And cash ; 9,75160 bECOND A paid up policy for 54,6no 00 ' THIRD Surrender my policy, and receive in cash 36,496 80 I was so little satisfied with the results of my investment that I chose the third, cash, proposi tion, but when I so decided, the company, through several of its representatives, labored to indon me to take one of the other forms of settlement, but finding that I was determined to surrender the policy and take the cash, they finally instructed me from the home office to send policy and receive for the amount, $36,496.80, to their State manager in Cleveland, and he would remit me the amount. I followed their instructions and sent the policy and receipt through my bank in Springfield to on correspondent in Cleveland, only to have it returned from the Cleveland Bank with the inf oitnattoa that the State manager of the Equitable states that he "had not sufficient funds to meet it." Tbiar forced me to return it to the New York office, and compelled me to wait some twenty days altar maturity before receiving final settlement. I have given no statement endorsing the Equitable, or expressing my satisfaction with their settlement with me. On the other hand I have positively refused to do so: The fact that my re turns were $i,oio.20 less than my total investment renders further comment unnece - Daring the time I carried the Equitable policy and up to the day when they submitted I above proposition to me, I was kept in total Ignoranee of the condition of my investment.
