A girl who is engaged to be married
shouldn't announce that her engage
ment has been broken until she's dead
sure of it. A Norfolk girl during the
past week called off the dressmaker
with word that she wasn't going to be
married, after all-that the engage
ment was broken. Within three days
she gave an order to go on with the
duds-that the engagement was "on"
again.

Ecuador will celebrate the one hun

Ecuador did not gain independence un-

that delays are dangerous and the

MIssoURrs INSURANCE LAW.

Although the Missouri state law
companies paying any salaries in eX.
cess of $4,000, was upheld by the
supreme court, that tribunal gave as
it's opinion the statement that the
legislation was unwise, and recon-.
mended the laws repeal. While such
procedure is rather out of the ordi.
nary from court, in this instance the
setting forth of such an opinion seems
to be wholly justified by the situation.
Just why an insurance company
should be kept out of a state because
it was able to employ the brainiest
men in the country, is not apparent.
And that man capable of handling
the affairs of a gigantic insurance
company, involving billions of dollars,
ought to be a man worth at least $780,
600 and perhaps more year, is self
evident.
The solons of Missouri did not take
into account the fact that mans
brain can be worth almost an unlim-
tied sum, if it delivers the goods.
And in shutting out the big COM
panies, hardship might very easily
be worked upon those citizens who
might, for one reason or another, de.
sire to buy insurance from just those
companies.
That sort of legislation deprives cit
liens of independence and is going at
things wrong end to.
