Woman In Love Is Either Slave Or Tyrant
And It Depends Entirely Which She Becomes

66 FHANE been keeping company
with a girl about 20 years of
age for the past nine months. I
have taken her to several places of
amusement and gave her an expensive
Christmas present She has been 60
ing out with other young men. and
seems to be offended with me because

has done me favor. am in love
with her and would not like to lose

The question of Your Rights VS.. NV
Rights enters so often during the
courtship 1t should be enough to
frighten out of matrimouv an those
who think. But those in love never
think-a fortunate provision. other
wise there might be less of the sad
sweet happiness of loving.

''Heartbroken" is having a very u

Heartbroken" is having a very IN
pleasant experience which should be
regarded as extremely pleasant For
the fact that the girl is jealous be-
cause he gave another girl a box OF
him. She goes out with other young
men, but refuses MIN the right to show
another girl gratitude for favor, yet
ne despairs! If he wants to win her
ne has every reason for having a heart
full of rejoicing, for I should say that
she is already won.
When a woman loves, either she be-
comes an abject slave or tyrant That
depends entirely on the man This
man, who moodily broods because his
girl is turning her smiles another way.
Is the sort of man who will always
make a tyrant of the woman he loves.
He Is being punished for giving anoth-
er girl box of candy. and longs to
KISS the hand that Furnishes him.

The Strawberry Crop.
Columbia. Mo, April 19

Columbia, Mo-, April 1912.
The Secretary of the Missouri State
Board of Horticulture has received
large number of answers to inquiries
sent out relative to the strawberry
crop.
Reports vary considerably, but as a
rule, they show that the drouth of
the past season caused caused con-
siderable damage to the plants, es-
pecially to the new paintings. The
late fall rains started new growth and
winter coming on early and suddenly
caught the plants in very tender
condition. AS result much winter
injury is reported, in some cases as
much as 50per cent, though the aver
age is around 20 per cent. Due to
drouth and winter injury, the stand
is much below the average, varying
from Is to so per cent with an aver
age of about 70 per cent OF normal
stand. Plants are somewhat back
ward in starting off but show about
average vigor. While few CORE
spondents report poor prospects fora
crop AS a whole the outlook at this
time is good, considering the poor
stand
More than 60 per cent of the CORE
spondents report an increase in acre
age in their localities. This increase
will no doubt offset the drouth and
winter injury, so that if weather con-
tinues favorable, Missouri should pro-
duce her normal crop of strawberries.

Resolutions.

Whereas-the head camp of the M.
w. A. assembled in Chicago, in JAN
uary, 1912, saw fit and proper to re-
wise, readiust and materially change
the table of rates of our society, and
Whereas-the said head camp was
composed of 800 delegates duly elect
ed by the various camps of the juris-
diction as their legal representatives,
therefore be it
Resolved by Butler Camp 2458, M.
w. A., as follows
That we unanimously vote to go on
record as having absolute confidence
in the action of the head camp, and
enthusiastically endorse and ratify
the action of the said head camp, as
concerns the adequacy and safety of
the new table of rates and the options
afforded. We recognize the right of
any neiqhbor, especially those at the
head of this great institution, to pro-
pose any measure he deems best for
the welfare of the M. w. A., and also
recognize the right of the head camp,
in session, to adopt or reject such
measures.
Recognizing, as we do. the fact that
the newly adopted rates impose a
hardship on all the older members of
the institution, but at the same time
gives them the cheapest insurance to
be obtained at their ages, we are
nevertheless prone to believe that
some plan may be perfected whereby

Resolved, that this camp of 44O
members ask the cooperation of the

officers to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the head camp delegates to
the end that the old standard bearers
of Woodcraft whose heads are now
bowed with the frosts of many win
tiers may be retained in the protecting
folds of this great order.

brought about.

There are two things every farmer

that his planter is planting it accurate

in one of these things, for good seed

IS HOLY GRAIL IN GEN0A7

A large green cup, hexagonal in
shape, which according to popular be-
lief was used by Christ and his apos-
ties at the Last Supper, is treasured
In the Church of st. Lawrence, at
Genoa, Italy. It's history goes much
further back than that event, as it is
claimed that it was present from the
Queen Of Sheba to King Solomon. 1t
has been in Genoa since 1101, where
it was brought by a knight from the
Holy Land after the First Crusade.
For centuries it was not touched, al
though many of the faithful wished
to adorn it with precious stones. This
was due not only to piety but to a
fear on the part Of citizens that
should it be broken. pilgrims would
cease to visit Genoa. 1t was thought
at one time that it was cut from an
enormous emerald. Napoleon took 1t
with him to Paris, persuaded Of its
high intrinsic worth. Scientists con-
firmed the suspicion that it was made
of glass, and Genoans got it back at
pretty much their own figure.

LIQUOR, AND LIFE INSURANCE
Total Abstainers in New York Com
pany Each Year Draw Increased
Dividends.

DR.. G. H. Head, in recent issue Of
life and HEALTH" mentions strik-
ing instance OF the benefits of total
abstinence in the matter of life in
surance.
A certain life insurance company
doing business in New York, he states,
has since 1900 kept a separate record
of abstainers insured in the total
abstinence department of the COM
pany. These total abstinence poll
cies each year draw increased divi-
dends, which materially reduce the
cost of insurance.
1t may be explained that many in
surance companies issue annual divi-
dends or refunds based upon the ac-
tual gains of the companies, resulting
from the fact that the actual mortal
ity is less than the calculated mortal
ity shown in the tables. In the tenn
perance department Of this company,
as in others, it is found that the divi-
dend or amount returned to the policy
helders is considerably larger than it
is l.. the general department, because
the actual mortality in that depart
ment is less proportionately than IN
the general department
