CHAMPION BUTTERMAKER.
Emil Oman of DelanO, Mimi. Is
Given the Highest Award for
Best Exhibit Shown.

James Sorenson of Albert Lea, MINI.

National Creamery Buttermakers'
association the reason for Minneso-
ta's success in winning banners at

last ten years at the closing session
OF the present convention at Mason
City Friday.
Emil G. Oman of Delano, Mimi,

termaker of the country by the COM
mlttee on awards Thursday after
noon. The convention, described as
one or the most successful ever held
by the association, adjourned short
ly after noon. The morning session.
aside from Mr.. Sorenson's address
was devoted to unfinished business
and the awarding of premiums. Mr..
SorenGon, in summing up the points
made in his address, declared that
the main causes which led to the
winning of banners were good raw
material, modernly equipped and
sanitary creameries, and last but not
least skilled buttermakers.
Il believe" he said that the state
which has the most cooperative
creameries will stand the best chance
OF national home the greater num-
Der of national banners in all future
scoring contests. Everything else
being equal, the state with the
greatest number of creameries op-
Grated on the basis true to the CO.
operative idea, will always have an
advan age which favors the winnin,g
of banners

SUICIDE, WIFE MANIAC
All Due to Telegram Which Was
Based on Misstatement,

Muscatine, Ia, March 15.-Once
more the tragic result of Fate's grim
Icaprices has been revealed in this
city. The mistake of a telegram,
wrongly sent, has resulted in send
ing one man to suicides grave and
his wife to an insane asylum. This
information was received today in a
letter to County Coroner, DR.. E. III.
King.
The letter is one sent in reply to
notice published in a New Or
leans newspaper by Dr. King, in
quiring the whereabouts of relatives
of Thomas j. Roth, a carpenter who
committed suicide in a Front street
boarding house Jan. II. Last sum
mer, it is said, Roth received a tele-
gram notifying him of the death of
his wife in New Orleans, his former
home. Roth was at that time an
employe at the Louisa county pump
ing station. His dependency over
the message resulted in his complete
collapse and finally suicide.
Today DR.. King received letter
from Roth's brother-in-law John X.
Lacroix of New Orleans, informir.g
him that the telegram sent Roth was
concerning another woman of the
same name who had died and it was
supposed that she was Roth's wife. |
The letter today declared that Mrs.
Roth's failure to hear from her hus-
and for months had resulted in her
becoming morbid and finally men
tally deranged. She is now in de- |
tention hospital at New Orleans. |
Relatives have been forbidden by |
physicians to break to her the news
of her husbands act, it is said.

Look Before You Leap

DURING the past six or eight
years have frequently heard the
statement made that people had learn
ed a great deal more about Life In
surance than they used to know, and
that the Individual who had made up
his mind to insure his life was pretty
apt to Look Before He Leaped. My
observation is that some" people
have learned that all legal reserve or
So called "old line" companies, ARE
NOT "About the same" They have
learned that all of them DO NOT treat
all Of their members in the same way,
and that all have not records extend
ing over long series Of years Of a
Square Deal to each policy holder,
whether he knew what was his dues
under his contract or not-such a rec
ord, for instance, as the Mutual Bene-
fit HAS. 1t is fact that the average
buyer Of Life Insurance buys from an
Agent who "goes after him." regard
less Of what company the Agent rep
resents, or the nature Of the contract
he sells. Comparatively few seem to
understand that while there Is little
difference in the net cost Of insurance
in any Of the old, established, legal re-
serve companies, there Is vast differ
ence in the Contracts. In view Of the
fact that the individual who buys the
insurance Pays the freight" it would
seem to be only common, business
sense for him to "Look Before He
Leaps" even though his own brother
was the Agent who first caused him to
become interested in life insurance
The Mutual Benefit is recognized all
over the United States as being In a
Class BY ItseIf-the One that has Al
ways Done the Most for Its Members,
