OF every hundred widows in this
country only sixteen are able to live
comfortably on their incomes, forty
two are forced to seek employment
after the death of their husbands, and
forty-two are dependent on others.
These figures, from a survey by a
national life insurance company, are
as true as they are startling. A bright
er side of the picture is the rapidly
growing number of savings accounts,
which today approximate 39,000,000.
Nearly every family in the United
States now has some money in the
bank. A great many have life insur-
ance. AS a people Americans are
thrifty, but the majority of them fail
to make thrift effective. Sickness and
unemployment often dissipate the small
surplus. 1t is very necessary to save
and to provide against the uncertainty
Of life with insurance. 1t is equally
necessary that the average man make
his thrift effective by consistently
building up his savings and employing
them in sound investments that will
earn at least small regular income.
Money employed in honest, successful
enterprises is the most powerful foe
of a dependent old age. Safe invest
ing is nothing but finding that kind Of
productive employment for savings.

A pretty, sensible, wholesome girl
in good, God-fearing home falls in
love with some worthless, no-account
boy and nine times out of ten it does
no good to warn her or to reason with
her. She is ruled by natural human
desire for happiness that is stronger
than facts or reason and she acts on
desire Not on reason.
Desire for wealth is much the same
with many intelligent men and women.
1t often pays little heed to reason.
Desiring thing, money love or happi-
ness, is one of the most primitive men
tai processes. 1t requires no effort.
But it does require effort to make de-
sires come true. In trying to acquire
money people often gamble in land,
securities, commodities or what-nOt
without putting forth any effort to
determine just what chance they have
fulfilling their desires. They do not
invest or even speculate. Like the ro-
mantle girl who faunts all reason,
they end in a quick divorce; that is,
the get-rich-quick or get-sOmething-for-
nothing proposition speedily divorces
them from their money. Investing
money requires long and careful
thought, not romantic dreams.

The agricultural department of the
Arkansas Bankers Association has sent
out warning against picking and
ginning wet cotton. Their warning,
headed 'Pick and Gin Cotton Dry" is
as follows:
1t will bring $4,000 to $500 bale
more if picked and ginned dry. Leave
it in the field until it is thoroughly
dry. Let the sunshine bleach it. Sun
shine will improve it, In addition to
improved cotton. the seed will be worth
twice as much
Pick Your Cotton. Snaps and boil
lies have to be put through additional
machinery and most of the strength is
knocked out. The price is reduced in
value from $2500 to $500 per bale
The market may be glutted and no
demand.
Cotton On the Ground
Cotton on the ground is too soiled
and too low in grade to be mixed with
the cotton picked from the stalk. If
you save 1t, keep 1t seperate.
Pick Fast When Dry
Many cotton pickers are available in
Texas. Railroads have named low
passenger rates, and where cotton
growers are in position to care for
these pickers it is recommended that
they be secured. 1t profteth not to
raise a crop and not gather it, Your
railway station agent can secure full
information for you.

JAPANESE RICE
FARMERS TO PAY
TAXES FOR KOREA

TOXIC, Dec. A. Japanese rice
farmers face the somewhat unpleas-
ant prospect of being taxed to sup
port their competitors in Korea
and they are not in the least pleas
ed about it.
When Japanese statesmen annex
ed Korea after the Russian war
they had an eye on the possibilities
of the country as rice producer,
and that program was carried out
gradually, until Korea now is ex-
porting a considerable volume of
rice to the home country.
What the japanese did not fore
see, however, was that their over
lordship would lead to a consider
able increase in population because
of improved sanitation, and enlight-
enment of the Koreans. This prob
EN- now is painfully apparent, and
1T is only a matter of few years
until Korea will consume all her
own rice, leaving nothing for the
hungry Japanese across the Straits
of Chosen.
With this in mind, Governor Gen
eral Saito of Korea advanced a
plan whereby Korean rice produc-
tion could be increased through fer
tilization, improved irrigation and
reclaimed waste lands. 70 do this,
however, Saito wants 25,000,00O yen
year for ten years-and that is
where the howl of the japanese rice
grower comes in.
The rice crop for Japan proper
this year is estimated at 301 100000
bushels, or some 81, 100000 less
than consumption.

On Postal Cards

El Centre people who intend to

oilins to be certain that two cent
amp is affixed to the card before

The new rules adopted by the post
fflce department require that all

two cent stamp affixed before
hey can be- mailed, instead of the
ne cent stamp as was formerly re-
hired. +
Many cards sent by Ell Centre
eople at Thanksgiving time, could
bt be mailed because q sufficient
mount of postage was not attached.
hasmuch as postal cards seldom

Five hundred carefully selected
