until he met Wallis Simpson, the
Baltimore girl, for whom he has
given up his throne.
There are a number of versions
OF this historic meeting BY some
it is said that the then Prince of
Wales and Mrs. Simpson, at that
time married to her first husband,
met as long ago as 1920 at a CAL
ifornia ball. Other intimates say
they met on the Riviera and were
introduced by Ernest Simpson, the
second husband, one-time officer
in the crack Coldsteam guards,
the kings own regiment. Another
report is that the couple met at
one of the smart London parties
given by Lady Thelma FurneSs,
American-born sister of Mrs. Glo-
ria Morgan Vanderbilt.
But the story Of their meeting
which seems to be borne out by
facts is that Mrs. Simpson in
June. 1881, attended royal recep-
tion. was seen and admired by
the king-to-be and the true story
of their romance dates from that
time
Here is the story of the momen-
tous royal reception. Wallis was in
London, the wife of Ernest Simp-
son, a British citizen in the ship
chartering business. She was 35.
Her marriage in 1916 to Lieuten-
ant Earl Winfield Spencer had
ended in divorce in 1927 when she
charged that Spencer had deserted
her live years before Following
her first divorce she met Simpson
and sailed 'for England to become
his bride in 1928.
Mrs. Wallis Warfield Spencer
Simpson did not care about that
royal reception particularly But
friends persuaded her to 60. and
she said she would if she didn't
have TO spend any money. So she
borrowed the plumes for her hair
from one friend and a formal
gown fom another. She did buy a
narrow band Of aquamarines to
hold her hair in place and then,
Enthusiastically, saw and admired
gorgeous aquamarine cross, four
inches long She bought it, spend
ing more than she would have had
TO pay for an entire outfit.
Mrs. Simpson moved forward
with the other women being pre-
sented. She bowed low before the
chair in which King George was
seated. Behind it stood the Prince
OF Wales, Edward. And when Wally
Simpson returned home that night,
it was in a car owned by the Prince
of Wales and personally accompa-
MED by Edward himself.
That, at least, is the story, and
the most likely one, of the meet
ing. There is no question that by
1888, the romance was in full
course The Prince of Wales and
Mrs Simpson were dancing and
night-clubbing together regularly.
They moved in the same exclusive
and smart social set in London
Both, delighting in winter sports
went to the resort of KitZbuehl in
the Austrian mountains, to Vienna
and to European cities. In the late
summer of 1884 she went yachting
with Edward in the Mediterranean
on the RoSaura Casual references
began to appear in print to the
fascinating American woman so
often in the company of the Prince
of Wales
The romance continued TO grow

companionship Of Mrs Simpson.

Farm Insurance

COMMENT on the farm question today is
I largely devoted to crop insurance, ex-
cept for sharply conflicting comments
on reciprocal trade treaties.
The crop insurance question is hardly
as important in this territory of quite con-
sistently good crops as is price insurance.
When the farmer produces thousand bu-
shells of corn he should have some idea of
what that corn will be worth in terms of
other commodities.
A frequently used example concerns the
farmer who in 1882 priced washing ma
chine, found that he would have to sell 1000
bushels of corn at current prices to make the
purchase. Today 80 bushels Of that same
corn will buy the same washing machine.
The machine manufacturer made few
sales during the depression period but he got
his price when those sales were made be-
cause he never flooded the market. His fix
ed overhead went on but he spent no more
for controlable items of overhead than the
sales traffic would bear. His farmer friend
meanwhile was striving to increase his pro-
duction to offset the fall in price as much as
possible, was thereby further depressing the
price.
When an equitable scheme of counter
acting this tendency in slump periods is de-
vised, the depressions will never again go to
the extremes of the last one.

The Real War Cost

If you would like to get a. notion of the
cost of the civil war now raging in Spain,
you might cast your eye over this one sent
ence from a recent United Press dispatch
from the scene of action:
''It is estimated that there are now 49,
900 widows and $1,000 orphans as result of
the war;"
1t is hard to make those figures mean
what they should mean unless you do just a
little meditating. Picture, first, the despair,
the loneliness, the sense of personal loss,
and the haunting fear of the future which
come to woman when her huband is taken
away-and then multiply by $4,000.
Next, imagine the tragic bewilderment,
the incomprehending misery, the cruel desc
lation of child which has lost its father
and, if you are able, picture 1900 such chill
dren.
In that way you may be able to get a
glimmering of the true cost of a war.-Be-

Well Invested

n EDWOOD FALLS made splendid in

: ers decisively voted to accept the PWA
grant and build the building which the board
of education, the state department and COM
petent architects have assured the district
is practical and economical for its present
and future needs.
There is no investment which pays
greater dividends than contribution to the
education and training of youth. A COM
munity which is backward in it's school cur
riculum, character and ability of instructors
and general standards may be expected to
move backward rather than forward.
On the other hand the town which pro-
vides better facilities and constantly strives
to improve standards is building an asset far
in advance of what can be built by spending
the same money for any commercial pur-
pose.

Marsh the other day approached
Joe Keefe with the query, "Isn't

to show Landon button.
Joe Edwards, for some weeks
the Forgotten Man so far as this
little department was concerned,
just refuses to relinquish his pos
ition as central figure of some of
the finer practical jokes perpetra-
ted hereabouts.
It seems that Miss Kraemer,
bookkeeper at the Gamble store
which boasts the employment of
Joe, has for some weeks patiently
born such little pranks as that SUI
per-salesman has seen fit to in
vent Willingly would she say
"Ah" and "Oh'' in various vocal
registers when a voice from the
other end of the telephone wire
informed her that her company
was testing. There were just lot
of little incidents like that and
Joe delighted in it all.
AS a really elaborate stunt, Joe
came in from one of his trading
jaunts to the country recently and
informed Miss Kraemer that he
had taken in a carload of apples
on a deal.
''Call up the library and get all
the dope on the South American
apple market" he told her, "I'll
probably ship these where I can
make the most money on them"
Always anxious to oblige, Miss
Kraemer did so.
A few days later, during the
busiest hour of the day Joe was
called to the telephone and held
there for Is minutes-an apple
sauce.
Although even his best friend
has had no word from Our Hero
as to the contents of that CONVEX
sation, stooges inform us that Miss
Holland, librarian, was reading
him a detailed report of actual
conditions of the apple market in
South America, a report for
which she searched encyclopae-
dias and even went so far as to
write to other sources for inform
