death for their wives and chil- drsn. They do not expect to die iust now. Few men do, and yet old people are not the only in- habitants of the cemeteries.
 If the average man, acquaint- ed with the affairs of life, were der5ndent on his wife for his support, he would go at once and sec that she was insured. By doing less for his family he is not acting fairly to them as he would to himself.
 Life insurance in a way, is 9 triumph over death itself. Il defeats narrowing cares anc grim poverty. It links the great beyond with the everliving pres ent by a chain of love and o1 l houghtfulness.-M News Scimitar.

Possibilities In Farming.

The Japanese farmer produces an average of 38.5 to 41.3 bush els of wheat ped acre per annum, and on the same land, 352 to 36l bushels of sweet potatoes, not withstanding that wheat is rather an exhausting crop. The British farmer produces an av- craze of 20 bushels per acre yearly. The German and the French farmer each produces corresponding yields to that o1 British. The American farm average is n bushels of wheat 10 the accre.
 Why this difference? Why should lands titled for centuries produce so much more than land that has been yielding crops on an average, taking the coun- try at large, of hardly more than one century? The same thing could be shown in corn oats or any other crop generally raised.
 The combined crops of this country last year, it is estimat- ed, were worth about ten bil- lion of dollars. There may be a million or so of error in this estimate either way, but one million is only one tenth of one per cent of a billion, and the er- TOT, if there should be one, is not important.
 An average increase in the crops of this country of only one-fourth-an increase of be- tween three and four bushels of wheat, seven or eight bushels ot

Life Insurance.

One fears death primarily be- cause it is a plunge into the un- known. It leads to the great un- certainty, which all philosophy and science have not been able to penetrate with sureness. But there is many a man who takes the plunge into the unknown who leaves a wife and family living, and facing a greater un- certainty of life.
 There is phrase used by in- 'surance ment that i sa telling one. It holds wealth of ar gument in it's few words. Wives sometimes object to life insurance widows never do" they say. The wife may, for sentimental reasons, fear to consider life insurance. The thought of her husbands death may be so painful a subject that she may year after year dodge the question. But no thought ful husband will. Life insur- ance at it's start, was generally considered as a speculation. The average policyholder thought he was merely betting against his death. But it is no longer held so. It has become an invest ment, and even a necessity con- sistent with the life of the mass es. Devoid of all Sentimentali- ty, the best substitute for de- ceased husband or father is cash. Life insurance premiums no longer can be regarded as blood money Rather they should be held as love money. They are removing the sharp sting of death. Grief, tears, sor- row, broken memories and shat tered hopes death may leave in it's train, but the insured never wills want, poverty and horror of life to the loved ones who re- main.
 Many are too prone to post pone the question of life in- surance. They say they cannot afford life insurance, or as much of it as they should have. Too many selfshly mean that they would rather have a little more money to spend needlessly than to certainly provide after their

Hearing that he was at home Mrs. Hawkins went over and demanded that he surrender to her. He was reluc- tant about going with her, but she convinced him that she meant business, and he came along.
