Each one Of you can match this
story with another in your own
knowledge, and this is what makes
it so incomprehensible that the man
who is trying to protect his wife
doesn't also try to protect her from
her own ignorance about money.
How Can She?
OF course, men shrug their Shout.
ders and say that women don't un.
derstand business. AS a general
thing, that is true, but how should
a woman understand anything that
she is never taught? Neither do

but that is no indication that they
haven't intelligence enough to learn
how to do crocheting and embroid.

ton in them, and had the impcr.
tance of learning how to do fancy
work impressed on their minds.
That there is nothing SO myste.
>rious or occult about ordinary flnan-
cial affairs that a woman can't
learn them is abundantly proved
by the fact that there are hundreds
of thousands of clever and success.
full business women in the country,
and that many of the most valued
employees in every commercial con-
Germ are women, Moreover. In the
management of their own affairs
women are quite as successful as
men. The average woman can get
twice as much out of a dollar as
man can when 1t comes to shopping
and housekeeping.
There is no earthly excuse that
man can give for not trying to fit
his wife to handle whatever money
he leaves her when he dies, yet
practically no man does it. If you.
Mr.. Man, who read these lines,
should die tomorrow, what would
your wife know about your affairs
How competent would she be to
wind up your business or to carry
1t on? How much would she know
about the best way to invest her
insurance money?
Wouldn't she have to absolutely
depend upon your partners. and
some lawyer, and trust to their
honesty and disinterestedness?
Wouldn't she be just as liable to 60
into a rotten speculation as to make
a good investment with her money?
Does she even know the difference
between living on ones income and
spending ones capital? Wouldn't
she think that she was as rich as
Mr.. Rockefeller and could afford
trip to Europe or an automobile If
your estate amounted, when settled
up, to 100000, instead of realizing
that she must be very economical
because she had only an income OF
$1,000 or $500 a year, and there
was no one to bring in any more
money?
Little Short of a. Crime.
If you died, the happiness Of the
woman you love and that you kno"
to be so helpless, the very food ana
shelter of your little children
would depend on your wife's know

wv tnlng, some one ought to

Eighteen years old and not

their own mean, miserly selfish
self-centered selves.
Old AS Her Youngest.

she kept so young the other day
and she said: I'm always just as
old as my youngest child. Just now
I'm four. I've been reading 'Puss
in Boots this afternoon and to-
morrow l shall be dreadfully ex-
cited over Jack the Giant Killer"
Just the age of her youngest
child, that's the idea. Why, that
foolish mother of yours ought to
be just eighteen right now; eight
cen with her soft hair on top Of
her head! just eighteen, her eyes
dancing with the JOY of living;
just eighteen, with a heart full of
dreams; just eighteen, with half of
the great books in the world wait

ing TO be pulled, all the moonlight
of all the ages shining just for her
and the rest of the eighteen-year-

the world doesn't that foolish moth
er of yours throw off the burden
of her years and be just eighteen
with you? Poor thing, she isn't half
alive. like an oyster at low tide
herself and trying to make you do
the same thing. Why. what for?
Now, if l were that mother of
yours. I'd have house full of
friends for you, girl friends and boy
friends, and I'd make my house so
pleasant for them that my foolish
little parlor would be like a regular
club house
And I'd have a porch full of
comfy chairs, and a vine or so
creeping up between me and the
moonlight, and I'd have a pitcher
of lemonade handy, and, above all
I'd have a welcome like that in the

HTERY man who loves his wife,
L. and who has a proper sense
of mans responsibility to-
ward woman he has married and
who has given the best years of
her life to him, tries to safeguard
her future as well as he can.
He looks forward to a time when
he may not be with her to work for
her and provide for her, and so he
settles upon her the home if he
can, or puts some good bonds and
stocks in her name, or he makes
heroic efforts and sacrifices to car
ry some insurance so that she may
not be penniless when he is dead.
If the average husband should
tell the dark thought that haunts
him the most with it's terror it
would be the fear of his wife being
old and poor, in want. perhaps, of
even the common necessities of life,
and it is this specter of dread that
nerves him to redoubled effort in
his business. and that prompts him
to deny himself a thousand little
pleasures and luxuries that he
would enjoy.
This being true, it is amazing
that men bring all their efforts to
never teaching the women how to
take care of the money they have
made so many sacrifices to leave
them. Yet the knowledge of how
to take care of money is just as
necessary as the possession of
money. Without the one you can
not have the other long.
An Easy Mark.
Every man knows that the cham
pion easy mark of the world is a
widow with her insurance money,
and that it is such a simple process
to swindle her that no dishonest
man can resist the temptation to
do it, There is not one of US who
can not name off-hand, without
even stopping to think, a dozen pit
iful, helpless, poverty stricken
widows that we know and are
called on to help from time to time,
who were left comfortable fortunes
by their husbands, but who have
been cheated out of their money, or
let it slip through their fingers be-
cause they were as ignorant of all
business uses as a child.
They didn't know which was the
business end of a check. They
didn't know the difference between
a gilt edge bond and Wild Cat Pre-
ferred. They didn't think that such
a casual thing as signing your
name on a piece of paper that you
hadn't read could really amount to
anything, one way or the other.
They were sure that Deacon Smith
was perfectly honest because he
prayed such beautiful prayers, and
that Cousin Thomas would pay
them back their money because
wasn't he their own dear aunt's
son?
I know one woman who today Is
keeping a miserable railroad eat
ing house whose husband left her
100000 that she got rid of within
two years by the simple expedient
of signing an innocent-looking pa
per that a man told her was an OPP
ton on a lot. She didn't read II.
She probably wouldn't have under
stood it if she had, but when the
man was arrested for running a
fraudulent real estate agency she
found out that she was his partner
and responsible for his debts. She
truthfully denied that she knew Of
having such connection with him.

Wants the House Quiet.

He's a rich man, and he pro-
vides his family with a fine house
and lots of fine clothes but he
doesn't let them have their own
souls for company a, single hour of
the day or night.
He's tired and he wants the house
quiet. He has business friends to
dine and every one must be on
the alert to please them. He doesn't
like this one. and he can't bear the
other. and when he goes away on
business the wife. who is afraid of
him, ana the girls, who hate him,
throw their hats in the air and
almost weep for joy. Fine father
he is, isn't he?
I'd rather live in four room cot
tage with love and peace of mind as
guests than to stay in a house that
calls itself a home and has in it no
room for the friends of those who
live there.

JOHNSON DISPELS DOUBT
ON IOWA STU ALTON

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Sept. 16.--
Saturday was a great day in Governor
Johnson's ocean-to-ocean campaign.
His special carried him straight
through the state of Iowa and he ad-
dressed enthusiastic audiences in eigh-
teen towns. 1t is estimated that he
spoke to 10000 Iowans during the days
trip. Before going into Iowa Governor
Johnson was told by Progressive lead
crs that they were noc exactly certain
how the state was going to turn out
for him.
For one thing, notices of meetings
lad been limited, and another cause
was the feeling on the part of some
that it was too early IN the campaign
to get the people thoroughly inter-
ested. Then there was the somewhat
unsettled situation existing in the
state relative to a Progressive ticket
locally. Progressives IN the state are
united in their support of the Roose-
velt-Johnson electors. but there is a
division of sentiment as to the necessi
ty or expedience Of putting up candi-
dates for the various state offices.
The majority of Progressives favor
ma KING a HSnl III the state as wen dS
nationally and a complete ticket has
been put in the field. The Republican
nominees for attorney general and
superintendent of public instruction
have been endorsed by the Progress
sives because they have publicly an
nounced their intention of supportin g
Theodore Roosevelt. A number OF
Progressives, however, are supporting g
the Republican ticket in the state, al :
though working enthusiastically for
Colonel Roosevelt.
1t was this unsettled situation that

PANAMA CANAL READY FOR
TRAFFIC BY NEXT AUTUMN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The Pana-
ma canal is to be opened for traffic
in the fall of 1918. This statement was
made officially at the navy depart
ment today with an announcement
that the Atlantic fleet would be rem
dezvoused at Colon this winter before
the water is turned in. The navy's
estimate is based on the latest report
from the army engineers.
Secretary Meyer, after consultin 3
with the isthmian canal commission,
discovered that construction work on
unless action was taken imme ediately
there was a probability that the men
of the fleet would have no opportunity V
to examine the connecting link be-
tween the two oceans before it was in
operation. The visit of the fleet will
include railroad trips for the men
throughout the canal zone.
While there has been much specula-
tion and a number of prophecies con-
cerning the early opening of the canal,
the navy department was the first to
announce the surprising fact officially.
The date for the opening originally
was set for January l, 1915, and en-
gineers for some time had doubted If
overcome to permit completion of the
work by that date. The remaining
work is said to offer few obstacles.

GLIDDEN TOUR FOR 1913
WAY VISIT LOS NNGEIE.


Los Angeles Examiner: San Fran
cisco will be the destination of the
Glidden tour of 1915. w. E. Bush the
local agent for the Pierce Arrow,
makes the suggestion that the southern
California motorists form some kind
of an organization for the purpose Of
having this tour come by way of Los
Angeles
This tour will without a doubt be the
greatest thing of the kind the world
has ever SEEN" said Bush. That is
the very reason why we should work
to have the route include Los Angeles
Probably a majority of those who make
The trip would drive down to this city

Los Angeles should have at least IA
three-day Stop-over, and l believe
can bring these cars over the south
ern route from Kansas City if we will
get busy and start the ball rolling"
AL G. Faulkner, sales manager for
w. E. Bush, recently drove Pierce
Arrow over the southern route to the
Atlantic coast, and he seconds Bush in
the plan to have the tour come over
this highway. By June, 1915, the road
will be greatly improved. Almost all
the bad places will have been repaired
and the sand stretches will be passable.
This route abounds in beautiful
scenery and while it is a rough trip to-
day, two years will make a great deal
Of difference, as the people along the
way are thoroughly aroused. The
cities along the southern route are or
ganized and will join us in the plan
suggested by Mr.. Bush. Nothing along
this line has been done in the north
and if we will get busy at once | have
no doubt but what the idea can be
successfully carried out"
Bush is in favor Of the dealers as

bining on this project and starting an
active campaign at once.
