girls, and now comes the time for do
ing good work and showing what you
are made of.
Make up your minds that during the
coming winter YOU will do something
to improve yourselves. mentally. physi-
cally, or both.
1t is easier to work in the cool
weather, one feels like achieving great
things.
Brains and muscle are eager for ex-
ercise.
See if you can't find something in
which to interest yourself during the
winter so that by spring you will be
conscious that you have decidedly
grown" in some direction or other.
If you suffer the drawbacks of a
limited education. pick out some line
of study and work at it with all your
heart and energy.
If you can afford it. join some So
cial or athletic club and reap the bene-
fits of mingling with your fellow be-
ings or developing yourself physical
ly.
Or get together few of you and
form clubs of your own.
A walking club of young men and
women, to meet once a week, will af-
ford it's members a great deal of
pleasure.
Or. you might start reading club
and take turns reading aloud one or
half the evening reading some good
history and the other half over an
interesting novel.
Then you could have coffe or cake.
You could take turns at meeting at
each others homes.
Make up your minds to succeed in
your work as you never have before.
Put your very best efforts into it.
Say to yourself: 81 am going to i'm
prove myself this winter and at the
end CT i, intend to be more of a
woman th2n | ever have been before.
Don't waste a minute Time is more
precious than diamonds and rubies.
All your endeavor won't bring back
one lost moment: never forget that.

If you do not care for reading, find
some other diversion that will keer
Your mind and interest stimulated.

Don't let the winter pass withou
getting some good out of it.
Take Self Improvement for you

The last legislature passed :: law
governing mutual fire insurance COM

Much has been said derogatory to
mutual fire insurance companies. This
is usually by persons who are wholly
ignorant of the position mutual insur-
ance companies hold today amongst
the insuring public of the entire World.
The mutual companies collect TIE
usual premiums in advance, which
: premium is supposed to be sufficient
to carry the risk to maturity. The
capital stock companies operate in
the same way and it is very seldom
they ever use any of their capital
On the other hand, they use the sur
/ plus with which to make up and
handle dividends for the stock holders,

their surplus to the policy y-holders.
