TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HONORS

John Calvin was born at Noyon,
in Picardy. France. July 10, SO.
In view of the fact that the domestic
life of man counts for much in his
career. it is interesting to know
how John Calvan chose a wife. He
was banished from Geneva and went
to Straasburg, adopted reformed
religion( was made pastor of con-
gregation of French refugees, anon &
these being John Storder and wife
Storder was taken off by a plague.
Calvin was kindness itself to the
widow without thought of marry
ing, but quite naturally the wedding
followed. They returned to Geneva
where the citizens presented them
with house, which still remains in
the rue DIES Chanoines. Three chill
dren born to them died in infancy.

state treasurer, stating they were of
the opinion that by the state taking
charge of the company under the
provisions of chapter 6S43, Laws of
Florida, acts of 1915, which law
gives the state treasurer full power
and authority to administer the af-
fairs of the company subject to the
supervision of the court, the affairs
of the company would be conducted
at a minimum of expense, every in
terest of the policyholder and stock
/ holder possible be considered, and
all profits that might result from its
future management be saved to
, them.
Business 100000 :.
The committee and directors felt
that no proposition had been made
BY the proposed purchasers that
could not be realized by state con-
troll. The business of the company
now in force amounts to about ST.
+ 100000. 1t is estimated by insur-
ance people generally that it takes
all the way from $40 to SIS per
thousand to procure new insurance
business and place it upon the
cooks. To companies Offering to
buy the Florida Life Insurance Com
pany offered nothing for this bust
aI,
possible profit which would result
/ to the company for which no con-
sideration was offered by the intend
ing purchasers.
by the state conducting the af-
fairs of the company it's identity as
Florida company will be main
tanned, all it's receipts will remain
in the state and when the present
| depressed financial conditions, due
f, to the European war, are ended and
financial matters are easier, it will
be possible for additional capital to
be put in the company and its oper-
ations in the State made permanent
and valuable asset to the states
! business.
application has been made to
the court to place the state treasurer
in charge of the company in COM
pliance with the order of the board
of directors. When the state treas
arer has been placed in charge by
the court as soon as possible there
after statement will be rendered
to each policyholder and stockhold-
er as to the condition of the COM
pany's affairs, so that each will be
fully informed.
Protecting Policyholder
with the cooperation and SUBJ
port of those interested in the af-
fairs of the company as policyhold-
err and stakeholder, it was the unani-
nous opinion of both the committee
and the board of directors, that the
pOlicyhOlder would be fully protect
/ ed and that the stakeholder might
also receive something. Every pos
! sible effort and exertion on the part
of the state treasurer to bring
about this result will be made, and
in this effort he solicits and feels

Pleasure Not Happiness

The pursuit of happiness is a right
guaranteed to Americans by cert
ain immoral document, which declar-
ed in distinguished language that Ger
tain truths were self-evident. Today,
most of us have deprecated a great
fundamental truth into mere pleas
ure seeking, an American perogative
which thus nearly becomes a vice.
From the first giggle of joy which
the infant utters when handled on
the mistaken parental knee until the
last picture show Witnessed by the
tottering greybeard, pleasure seems
the chief end of most Americans
We work not for the joy of the
working, but because only by work
can we secure the means to pursue
pleasure. We play, not to relax strain
ed nerves and tired muscles, but for
the false stimulus of excitement. We
send our children to school-when
we have any-not with any respon
sible oversight of their education
but because they interfere with our
pleasure.
The factory. the shop and the office
are full of clock-watchers, time-serv
ers and shirkers, who toll not, Meth
