PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Taft in his message to
congress indicated that there would De
no tariff legislation in the present
short session 1t is not likely, he said,
that the tariff board will be able to re-
port on any of the schedules during
this session, because of the enormous
amount of work involved in preparing
such report, but he hopes to be able
to submit to the next congress facts
determined by the tariff board. In
this connection the president recon-
mends that the tariff board already ap-
pointed be made a permanent tariff
commission In taking such step
this country would only be adopting a
plan which has been successfully pur-
sued by other governments whose tar
iff matters are in the hands of men
who have made this study their life
work
A portion of the message in which
the president may feel justifiable
pride is that section relating to the
reduction in expenditures during his
administration. The final estimates
for the year ending June 80, 1912, are
nearly $53,000,000 less than the ap-
preparations for the year ending June
80, 1911 The estimates of expend-
lures were scaled down below the
estimated receipts SO as to insure a
surplus of ordinary receipts over ordi-
nary expenditures of about $4,000, 600.
The reduction in the postal deficit is
another matter in which the president
may take pride.
The president again calls attention

INVESTING INSURANCE MONEY.

INVESTING INSURANCE MONEY.
Every man who has anyone depend
ent upon him, should carry reason
able amount of life insurance. There
are logical and business reasons for
carrying life insurance, but 1t is not
the intention here to make an argu-
ment for or against life insurance,
This is assuming you are insured. We
want to call attention to the necessity
of instructing those dependent upon
you. how to invest the money they
will get in case of your death.
1t is something that every man
should arrange for as nearly as he can.
The man who has life insurance
policy of two, three, or five thousand
dollars should instruct his family as
to what he believes, is the best way
to handle that money after his death.
Three thousand dollars at per cent
interest, will give all income of fifteen
dollars month and have the prin-
cipal left. Three thousand dollars
Tapping at the loose end of check
book, in the hands Of a person mex
perienced in business, is liable to gs
SO fast that in few months there will
be nothing left Of it but the remark,
Where did it go!"
If you are carrying few thousand
dollars life insurance, for your fam
lily, Just take the matter up with them,
talk it over and instruct them in the
way to make the best use of it. You
cannot expect people who have had no
business experiences whatever, to
make a good business deal without
some instruction. This is especially
true at the time when the family is
grief stricken by the loss OF one OF
it's members

THE EVENING STORY.
HIS LACE-PAPER LADY,.

BY Jeanne o. Loizeaux.
Copyright 1910, by Associated Liter
airy Press.)
1t happened when they. first met
the instant interest, eve flashing to
eye, the feeling of having always
know each other. The mans head
went round 2 little and his heart beat
very fast as he asked her for the
dance he wanted.
She did not have it to give, SO he
made the best of sitting against the
wall and watching her glide over the
floor with Lawton. Meantime he
mentally thumped himself into sense.
He knew on tho spot that she was not
the wife for him. Sam Morton, SEN
sible yong business man, wanted a
helpmate
He had come up in big family
with G. whining, weak mother and an
overworked harried father He had
even in boyhood determined on health
and strength as the only working
basis to begin married life upon.
Then he called himself fool for let
ting all this come to his mind at
mere sight of young girl.
For Lois was fragile and slender, a
sort of lace-paper lady he said to
himself. That was just the word
she was appealing and delicate. and
then. passing and catching his eve
she gave him little smile that undid
all his renunciatory work with him
self in the past few moments.
He could dance with her. anyway
And, fool that he was, nobody but
himself had suggested his marrying
her! Perhaps even if she were asked
she would not have him-he sudden
ly felt humble. Perhaps she was en-
gaged-that was startling thought;
maby she was engaged to Lawton-
that was 2 Jealous thought. He
straightway despised his friend Law
ton in his heart and accused him of
inability to care for frail child of
girl like Lois. Then he -yondere
how old she was-surely not twenty.
And then. the waltz ending, he
hurried to her to see if by chance
she had not made a mistake about
sistence made her blush and waver.
Finally she yielded him her pro-
gram ard he crossed out Lawton's
initials and put his own where they
had been. After this he danced with
the stupid girls he had thought at
tractive an hour ago and waited
until his turn came with her.
This was a beginning of bad times
for the young man, who surely, in
precarious financial times needed all
but prospecting business. He vowed
during the sleepless fag-ena of the

would object to him, whether he could
convince them he would be tender
with her And all this before he had
once called upon the girl!
Finally he went to a drug store
directory and found her street and
number.
And in the dusk of warm Octo-
Der evening he found the little street
and the little cottage where she lived
He saw no light, but he went up the
winding path through the deep, tree
guarded yard and to the small, sim
pie dwelling.
Sitting alone on the small porch, he
was aware of her. and that she arose
and came toward him, timidly, until
she saw who it was.
"You!" she breathed in tone soft
as q caress, while he took her hand
and stood holding 1t, though she
would have withdrawnit.
Eyes, ~" he replied in tense
voice. Lois, can't wait to say it
prettily and work up to it--but I've
been in torment since the first min
ute met you, because love you
so. Lois! Can't you see that I've
loved you so much that I could not
trust myself to come near you for
fear my heart would come out of
me and drop to your hand! That
first time danced with you came
near telling you I'd give my soul
just to kiss you once-I bit my
tongue and managed to keep still!
Now girl, girl, could you marry me
could you trust me to take care OF
you?, l won't let the wind blow on
you even, If you will give me my
chance!"
He paused. breathlessly. because,
wonder Of wonders, she was listen
ing, and her gentle head was very
near his shoulder-so near that he
put his hand behind it and brought
it close. And then he stopped and
kissed her. and knew that her cheek
was wet with tears.
Dear" he said, what is it? Why
are you crying?" and then she
laughed and wiped her eyes, but her
hands chung to him.
I'm laughing because you should
think need so much coddling-a
girl who does all the work for a
father and three little sisters. Father
is going to marry again, and they're
wild for a new mother-but I'm mott"
Here she paused, but he remembered
the tears.
But why we're you crying? Tell
me-" But she was shy about it.
WELL she finally said "since you
must know it was glad. had
begun to think -might-never-

And then the happy lover laughed
and held the girl very close.

WILSON ADVISES CONSUMER.

WILSON ADVISES CONSOMEn
In his annual report Of the volume
and value of the nations crops, made
public today, Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson declares that "at no time in
the worlds history has a country pro-
duced farm products within one year
with q value reaching $8,926,0O0, 900,
which is the value of the agricultural
products Of this country for 1910"
Secretary Wilson gives an astounding
array OF figures showing the value of
the crops of corn, cotton, hay wheat
and oats. and then he follows with a
paragraph to show the consumer chat
the farmer is not making all the
money that is taken from the soil, nor
is the farmer responsible for high
prices. The secretary says:
"The farmer supplies the capital for
production and takes the risk Of his
losses; his crops are at the mercy Of
drought, and flood, and heat, and FROST
to say nothing of noxious insects and
blighting diseases. He supplies hard,
exacting, unremitting labor. A degree
and range OF information and intelli-
gence are demanded by agriculture
which are hardly equaled in any other
occupation. Then there is the risk OF
overproduction and disastrously low
prices. From beginning to end the
farmer must steer dextrously to escape
perils to his profits, and indeed to his
capital, on every hand. At last the
products are started on their way to
the consumer The railroad generally
speaking, adds percentage of in
crease to the farmers prices that is
not large. After delivery by the rail
road the products are stored short
time, are measured into the various re-
tail quantities, more or less small. and
the dealers are rid of them as soon as
possible. The dealers have risks that
arefpractically small, except credit
sales, and such risks as grow out Of
their trying to do an amount of bust
ness which is small as compared with
their number"
