We Women

HOOKED into the window of a
 jewelry shop and gazed at gilt
 tering display of diamonds, pearls, rubbies, emeralds, sapphires--at rings, brooches, bracelets, pendants and ear rings in all manner of form, size and price.
 And I wondered.
 We women have been greatly cen- sured for wearing jewelry. We are accused of concerning ourselves too much with gowns, furs, jewelry and other things of the same character.
 Why do we wear jewelry! Why do we desire it so much? Is it simply. be- cause of our love for fine feathers and trinkets? Is it a desire within us to show off?
 We like good books-why not al- ways carry them with us?
 I asked a sweet elderly friend of mine. one of the most understanding and learned men have ever met, in or out of books, to express himself on the subject.
 "As babies," he said, i've are at- tracted to oddities and reach for them with our hands not knowing why we reach. As children and grown-ups we love the sight and fragrance ofNa flower. We send flowers to our friends when oc- casions suggests, and we give jewelry to our sweethearts, wives and children much in the same manner"
 What is it that the romantic young man gives the young lady of his heart to bind her more closely to him and to announce to the world that he has made her respond to his heart beats and per- suasions? He gives her diamond ring.
 turn to'the old masters and find
 that every cardinal virtue of the
 human race has been likened to
 jewel. Shakespeare says, Good

 lord, is the immediate jewel of their
 souls."

When Striped Chipmunk called him loafer he hadn't minded, but when one after another of his friends had called him the same thing it; had hurt. Could it be that they looked down on him because he never worked It certainly looked that way. He reached the dear Old Brier Patch and crept in his favorite resting place with out letting Mrs. Peter know that he had returned. He wanted to be alone to think.

Utopia is still a distant state and Utopians do not exist in the flesh but two women are excessively delicate and sentimental. It seems to be our love of jewelry can be traced to the fact that jewels are symbolical of love, of happiness, of high ideals and of TO- nance.

"Since J. b. Reynolds became presi-

How Money Invested.
"The company invests its money
TO a great extent in the territory
where it operates: in farm and city
loans. 1t owns no stock or securi-
ties of speculative character. The
laws Of the state of Missouri are most
stringent in regulating the investment
of .ife insurance companies. They
require that loan cannot exceed 80
per cent of the actual value of the
property upon which the loan is made.
"All policies issued by the comnany
are registered with the state in COM
pliance with the compulsory deposit
law of the state. and the full cash
value of every policy is deposited in
approved securities with the state.

there has always existed the ideal OF

Is Ideally Managed. =.
"In its ever widening growth, there
has been, and perhaps will always be.
in the business of life insurance some
experiments and some mistakes: but
been, at any time, the slightest devia-
ton from the original object that was
sot out to be accomplished. The
company stands today in every re-
spect as an example of an ideally
managed business institution.
"We are now licensed to do bust
ness in all of the states west of the
Mississippi and six states on the eat.
New territory is being opened up as
rapidly ms thc conditions justify and
the exigencies Of the company seem
to require.
"The company's ratio of safety. TINT
is a comparison of its liabilities ", i
its assets, places it not only among
the very highest types of life insur-
ance companies, but among the safest
of finapcial institutions.
"Of the quarter of a billion of
business now in force, all except fewer
than 100 policies have been placed on

facts as follows:
The company was organized ON

the secretary of the state of Missouri,
A. A. Laseur. The share holders
