THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
iie Comes in With the New Law-PauI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law Of the State
of New York has opened UP promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The. law now provides
standard forms Of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling 1t.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers. school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
Q life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: 1--WE want new agents, both
men and women. but none except en-.
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force Of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

CALIFORNIA OLIVE OIL.

Petrolmeum,


Shipped In Great Tanks, Like So Much
Petrolmeun1.
The sale Of olive oil constitutes one
Of the largest items of revenue to
California. Although olives have
been grown there for more than half q
century. the quantity of fruit sold out
side of the State before 1900 was in
significant.
Forming themselves into an assn
citation, number of the large growers
have taken steps since then to COM
pete with Italy and France in selling
their product, and have succeeded to
such an extent that. according to
Moody's Magazine. they manufacture
q large proportion Of the 100000
gallons of olive oil at present pro.
duced in this country.
One ton of olives usually yields
thirty to thirty-five gallons of oil.
For the Eastern trade the California
association has established an exten.
sive bottling plant in New England to
which the oil is actually shipped by
the carload in tanks, like so much
petroleum. One of the large olive
orchards alone contains no less than
10000 trees, which will give an idea
of the magnitude of olive growing.

Furnish King Alfonso His Wine.

The Gordon's are said to have tho

the royal house of Spain. This family
has been in Spain as wine growers
more than 100 years, although they
still own the ancestral estate of Ward
house, in Aberdeershire, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
They have contracted aristocratic
marriages, and the present represen-
tative of the family. Rafael Gordon,
who lives in Madrid, has named his
first born after King Alfonso, while
his mother, the Countess de Mirasol,
is lady-in-waiting to Queen Christina.
King Alfonso, who visited Mr.. Cor.
don's aunt during his stay in the
North. did not hesitate to play the
part of wine merchant himself in
praising the virtues of sherry.

Importance of

wish to say at the outset that the
impression that the success of master
ing the great problems in the field of
agriculture does not require special
preparation and fitness as well as care
full study and high order of ability,
is altogether erroneous. The idea that
successful farming does not require
trained mind and the highest degree
of intelligence, Judgment and reason
never had any foundation in fact
Robert Bakewell said over Il hundred
years ago that it was easier to find
dozen men fit for cabinet positions
than one good Judge of live stock. and
the conditions haven't changed very
much even to the present day. Has it
ever occurred to you that the ability
simply to judge stock accurately and
we'll is at least of a rarer kind. if not
of a higher order. than that which in
terprets the laws of nation. The
men who are employed to pass juds
ment ON the live stock that goes to the
great markets of this and other coun-
tries, the men who are required to
know simply one thing and know it
thoroughly command higher salary
than men who preside at the bar of
justice in the highest courts of the
land. This may seem like a striking
statement, but nevertheless its truth
is fully attested by the records and
salaries paid for these positions: and

"This man lived in my native town

There was an old major in Idvor
who said to his valet one evening:

cured in the shade, which is better
than drying it out in the sun. Hay
cured this way is more palatable and
retains more OF the leaves, because
they do not become brittle and break
off. The leaves of the hay are the
most valuable part of it and any sys-
tenn that tends to cure them properly
and prevents losing them in the field
is. in our estimation, worth practic.
