Jade Priced In the East.

In China a string of jade beads Is
now used as an insignia Of high rank
and authority. At one time. II Is said,
no other than a prince of the royal
blood had the right to possess jade in
India. under pain Of death. In China
the jade is termed the concentrated es-
sence of love. 1t is an ornament
often bestowed upon young girls when
they come Of age. When fashioned In
the form of a butterfly 1t has a special
romantic significance TO the Chinese
because of the pretty legend which re-
iates that a youth pursuing a butterfly
climbed over the high wall and into
the garden of a rich mandarin. In
stead of being censored or punished.
the poor youths visit led TO his mar
rage with the mandarin's daughter.
Hence the butterfly is the symbol Of
successful love. and Chinese bride
grooms present Jade butterflies to
their fiancees.

Perhaps that is one of the important
reasons for 80 many young people
leaving the farm as soon as they grew
up and began to appreciate what real
home comforts meant.
But with the progress in other
things, this old idea has been changed
and today the farm home Is no longer
overlooked or taken up as a necessary
evil. 1t is the important building
In the farm group, a really attractive,
modern structure with all the latest

For a long time the home of the
farmer and his family was neglected.
1t was considered the most unessential
building in the farm group. The dairy
barn and other buildings for housing
