consolidation is spreading so rapidly
that the prediction IS made that a
complete revolution in the school sys-
tenn is going to take place in the
state of Minnesota, in a very few
years and the cooperative or con-
solidated idea seems to fill the bill
at the present time better than any
other proposed plan.

and leave her penniless you could not
blame her if she secretely wishes she
had married the other fellow, unless
he is worse specimen Of humanity
than yourself, then she might wish she
had stayed single.
The more man claims to love a wo-
man the more anxious he should be
that she shall be happy after he is dead
Whether she is happy or not, we all
should want our wives to be comforta-
BILE. There is one certain way for the
man who has not great bank account,
to see that his widow is allowed to
mourn in peace and that is by giving
her good check on the bank of money
and happiness, and that way is to get
her good life insurance on yourself.
A man who claims to love her and
refuses to take out life insurance, if
he can get it, ought to be called short
ugly word with descriptive adjectives.
Love is uns elfish. love is kind, love is
thoughtful. love is protective. Moth
ing so protects a woman as the sense
of her security from want, nothing is
so seductive as want.
All men have more respect for
wido VS. y who are we'll off; they treat
them with more courtesy.
Life insurance makes a man more
independent, it makes him fear death
and disease less, at the same time it
paradoxically makes him more lover
of life because he wants to beat the
insurance company.
The more Jealous a man is of his
wife the more insurance he ought leave
her, for the better off she is the less
likely she is to marry the first fellow
who comes along. II she is giddy
enough to marry some fellow and give
him some of your money it will make
you hs1py to know that you have left
an attractive widow. You will at least
have been contributor to the worlds
One can create a fine
estate in no other way SO quickly as by
taking out life insurance. Every girl
ought insist upon man having at least
a thousand dollars before they are mar
ried. this will be sort of certificate of
health, if be cant get life insurance
he ought not be allowed to get mar
riage certificate.
A life insurance which merely covers
the funeral expenses is primarily in
favor of the undertaken and leaves the
widow to get along the best way she
can. Women do not kill their husbands
for life insurance. and the man who
lodges behind such childish excuses
shows poor wisdom in living with
woman whom he suspects of low tricks.
The man who cannot afford life insur-
ance usually affords pretty good clothes
and generally likes pretty good time;
summing him up generally he is sell
fish cuss who gets what he wants first
and let's his wife come in afterwards.
1t is the cheapest investment man
can make and the protection is feat
ure which makes it safer than money
in the bank, which fellow can draw
out.
If man really loves his wife he will
see that she is provided for after he is
gone. Ii ne does not think enough of
her ne will let her slave for him while
he lives, and be a slave for herself
after he is dead A man lives 80 long
as he has power, and under the present
circumstances, money is power.
