Woman, because she is fond of So

And now, for the first time, is a

Woman is by nature distinctly anti

But jealous?
Neveri

Because woman can seldom sep
arate the idea of jealousy from the
idea of sex. Jealousy is a masculine
noun, to woman! She supposes it
to be mans dominant emotion; while
man knows it to be Wornan's!
The first sentimental confidence
which the little high school girl whis
pers to her most intimate friend is
that Jack is simply crazy about her,
and he just won't let another boy
speak to her! Such a delightful sense
of value accrues to her from Jacks
supposed jealousy!
And the chief gossip of that great
army of the unemployed, the woman
residents of private hotels and board
ing houses, is some tale of the jeal-
ousy which Beauty aroused in her
first sweetheart, and in the next, and.
in the man she finally married, and
in the man who came too late.

There are degrees of jealousy in
Vulnerable. Love affairs are often
strangely duplicated, but there. are
as many types of the green-eyed
monster as there are-Women! ~
Some women have never loved a
man; and some no man has ever
loved, but where is the woman who
has never been jealous?
A man glories in the achievement
of his friend and will further that
achievement. But a woman-is jealous
even sometimes where she cannot
compete.
Women who work have the despic-
able habit of beittling all other wo-
men at the same employment. They

NEW YORK, April 4.-The raid
made by the Federal League
on the ranks Of organized
baseball perhaps will mean that more
new stars viii rise this year than
ever before
The fact that the Federals have
grabbed off not only some Of the reg
ulars but also many recruits from the
major leaguers means that the re-
cruits who have remained will have
lust about as good a chance of max
ing good as they would have had if
the Federals had not INDUCED in their
little game of snatchiug
in other years practically every ma
ior league team went to its training
camp loaded TO the gunwales with
recruits. The team. of course, car
ried its regular outfit. and about the
only chance a recruit had was to Dust
reguldr-a mighty task-or to Gre
ate for himself job as utility man
The fact that each manager had to
look over about fifteen recruits, and
had room for only about two or three
men, made it so that few rockies got
real chance TO display their wares
Many recruits. who, if given a long
trial, would have developed into ma
jor leaguers, We're turned back to the
bushes because they did not have
chance to show their real wares in
the first month Of the spring practice.
PUT the situation this year is some
- what different. Nearly every club
has one or two vacancies in the regu-
lar lineup to fiji from the recruit
ranks. This means that every recruit
will be given a thorough tryout and
won't be chased back to the bushes

1914 Banner Year for Recruits
Federal Raid Helps Youngsters

the very first time he makes a foozle
1t seems Just now as if every or
ganized club win hang onto every
recruit that gives evidence of being
a ball player il for no other reason
than to protect itself Although or
ganized baseball leaders think for
publication that the Federals won't
last until the middle of summer, they
are making plans for a long fight.
In case the Federals do amble along
at pretty fair clip up to midsummer
and show signs of Sticking and
making money in the process. it seems
quite likely that some of the players
in organized baseball. who have held
big Federal offers in allegiance, will
jump because the salary is larger
That will mean vacancy, and the
wise manager win hang onto his
promising rockies for just such an
emergency.
FURTHER than this. the organized
baseball managers win not care
to risk sending back to the bushes
a recruit who, with a little more eX-
perience would be fast enough for
the majors. Such an act Will peeve
the said recruit TO a certain extent.
and may make him easy prey for
lurking scouts for the Federal League.
Another reason why 1914 will be
banner year for the recruits is that
managers must begin now to develop
youngsters to take the places of the
marvellous veterans-like Wagner,
Leach, Mathewson, Lajoie and others.
The business Of developing a man
to take the place of any of these
veterans is not one than can be ac-
complished in one season. Consid-
cradle understanding Is necessary,
and two years, even three, is not too
long.

STOCK RAISING IN THE
OZARKS.
THE ADVERTISER.

But few people realize the
great opportunities for stock
raising in the Ozarks. A great
many stock raiserS are using the
high priced land of the east FOR
grazing, which only produces
forage for about five months in
the year and on land that sells
for from $4,000 per acre and
up, and have to depend on wells
and ponds for water, while the
OzarkS has a great variety of
grasses, with plenty of spring
water, and from two to three
months longer pasture season.
All fencing material is cheaper.
The winters are less severe, and
climatic conditions are better
for all classes of stock, and with
the timbered belts, the stock
can go through the cold winters
without extensive sheds. Wheat
and rye make ideal fall pas
turage. The State Board of Ag-
riculture, after a careful investi-
cation of the possibilities of this
region. say it is not excelled by
any other part of the state.
With the present shortage of
cattle, with good pasture LAND
selling at from $1,000 to $1,000
per acre, it seems that a fortune
awaits the man, who, located
with high-priced land and en-.
deavoring to raise cattle, woulC
certainly sell his high priced
land and locate in this section
His fixed capital would be no.
one-tenth of the poorer land Of
the East, and he would have
some surplus to stock a large
ranch and make big money il

cheaper grazing lands of The
Ozarks.

ton are agreed that the cattle

field for eggs and dressed poul-
try, delivered at the door of the
city dweller. 1t is a fact, not
generally realized, that the
farmer, raising a total product
of something like thirteen bill
lions of dollars in value, gets
less than half of his product.
The surplus going to transport
tation and the old order, now
rapidly passing away, of mar
keting with its unorganized
methods, Cutting markets in
one place and Il scarcity in 9th
ers. The people, through the
study of cooperative market
ing, will do away with all this
anarchy of distribution and
then the great body of honest,
industrious and necessary Gre
ators of value, the farmer, will
come into his own.
The question is now being put
up to that great body of men
and women throughout the
farming districts, and with a
campaign of education now be-
ing inaugurated by the Gov
eminent, the solution of the
great and growing question of
the proper conservation of
forces, the high cost of living,
is coming rapidly to a solution.
The time is now here for the

of some of Gods green acres
and prepare himself and his
for future contcntment
and happiness.

How Deposit Insurance Has
Worked In Kansas, Texas.
and Nebraska.

The bank-deposit guaranty
law of Kansas went into effect
in July, 1909. There have been
two bank failures since that
time which cost the guaranty
fund something like $4,000.
There is now in the Kansas
guaranty fund cash amounting
to over $111,000, and bonds ag-
gregating over 100000. The
Texas law went into effect in
1909 also and there have been
three bank failures costing the
guaranty fund about $lO0,0 900.
There is now nearly a million
dollars in the guaranty fund to
take care of future losses. The
Nebraska law went into effect
in 1911. There have been nc
failures and there is now in the
guaranty fund more than $780,.
