THE WASTE OF MONEY

In the daily papers comes the
story of the downfall of the
widow of a prominent Wall
Street man, who twice has been
presented to British Royalty,
lived on Fifth Avenue, was a
social leader and a woman of the
four hundred. In the brief six
years of her widowhood she has
wasted a fortune of over one
hundred thousand dollars and
now faces the charge of passing
a worthless check. She says she
has made a sad mistake" but
did the "best she knew how
with her money-put it in i'll
advised business ventures, in
vested in doubtful securities and
spent the rest in social aspira-
tions.
Of lesser magnitude, but no
less tragic, is the recent case of
a German woman with three
children, who in the short space
of ten weeks has spent mot in

dollars received from her hus-
bands death in an accident.
During that time she has visited
the savings bank on an average

one is His greatest bane. Bank
men of experience will corrobo-
rate the conclusion that it is un-
wise to leave money to the wife
in such a way as to tempt her to
be improvident with it. The
fortune first mentioned would
have given the wife an income
of at least five thousand year
for life, if properly invested, and
the smaller amounts would have
helped the beneficiaries over
many a rainy day. The caution
to the men in such matters is to
so arrange affairs that the in
come and not the principal may
be used.
The best legacy you can leave
your wife is a we'll invested
estate. If you love her you can
prove it best by not giving her
absolute control of her legacy
but by saving her from all the
pitfalls that are open to the un-
sophisticated and the unwary.

friends and the slick promoter
who dazzles her with alluring
tales of large returns from her
investments.

ANOTHER GOOD DoWNPoUR FRI
DAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
WILL BE GREAT BENEFIT TO
CROPS IN THIS SECTION.

Another heavy ran fell over this
entire section Friday night and Sat
urday that will be of great benefit
to the cotton crop.
Wheat growers all over the country
are elated and say that they will be
gin Immediately to prepare for a
large acreage another season.
The recent rains have put diff
Iferent phase on the cotton situation
and the crop will be much heavier
than at first anticipated, this together
with the prices prevailing around the
fifteen cent mark will put this entire
section in good shape financially
Farmers as a rule throughout this
section are in better financial con
dition than for several years. There
has been a tendency to diversity
which is gradually putting the indus
trious renter in tae independent
land owners column, and large land
owners as rule are encouraging this
by rendering this ambitious class
valuable assistance. More poultry
and hogs are being grown every year
and the attention paid to gardening
has had a healthy tendency toward
making the farmers family indepen-
dent of the grocery store.
