laid those whose condition in life is not
| SO favorable as their own, there is now
Ian opportunity to give active express
sion to this desire by aiding move
ment which, II successful. will be of
practical benefit to many OF Names
citizens. The undertaking in question
Is an endeavor to establish training
school for the blind of this State, where
such instruction shall be given as will
enable the blind to become self-sup-
porting. There are manual training
schools throughout the State where
those who see may learn some trade.
thus giving them a good start in life.
The blind person. when deprived Of no
faculty but sight. is not only capable
| of mastering a trade, but in the ma
jority of cases he Is also able to gain
as good q livelihood as the average
man who has the use Of his eyes. If
this were not true, there would be a
reason for ignoring the blind. SO far as
giving them a practical education goes;
but since they can maintain themselves,
when given the needful training. have
they not the right as citizens to claim
such training? The State already does
something for sightless children, but as
| yet no provision has been made for
those who lose their sight at an age
when it is not possible for them to en-
ter a blind institution, and who, as a
result. are left without means of sup
porting themselves. For this reason
the aforementioned movement has
been started to have school erected
where the adult blind shall be educated
so that they shall not be dependent on
relatives for their maintenance. To
raise funds for this object. series of
concerts will be given. and all who can
are earnestly requested to give their
aid.

Pointed Paragraphs.

Girls who make fools of men usually
make lasting impressions.
Some men are too busy to take rest
until the undertaken gets them.
Most of the good times we have are
not appreciated until the next day.
Any girl who thinks as much of j
man as she does of herself will do to
tie to.
There are few self-made men and
a lot of self-made blonde women in the
world.
1t may be all right to give credit to
whom credit is due. but spot cash is
always preferable.
Most people would rather blame d
man for what he doesn't than give him
credit for what he does.
A man may be disappointed in the
friendship of his friends. but he can al
ways depend on the enmity Of his ene-
mics.
Today the average man is saving w
to buy a home. tomorrow he buys 1t ana
the day after he will try to sell it fol
less than cost.-Chicago News.

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. now in the 5Sth year OF
its existence, has never wandered from
the legitimate fields of life insurance
in the conduct of it's business, and its
conservatism has been marked fea-
ture of its life. That that life has been
healthy one the statement published
elsewhere shows. It has accumulated
assets of s64,942. 905. and surplus OF
$4.6S0,000. Incidentally it is worth stat
ing that of the 1927, 347,S s7 collected by
the company for premiums during its
business life, s227,11s.Ss4. or the phe-
nomenal per cent. of SO. 80. has been re-
turned to the policy holders or their
benct;ciaries.
