Two Kinds of News Back iu the forties it took mouths for the thrilling news of California's gold strike to cross the continene. Not long a^o the President's son died and the people of Cali fornia knew it as soon as the people of Washington, D. C. did. In the early days news spread by word of mouth. To day th^ telegraph and telephone speed the message into* the newspaper office, it is rushed into type, the paper is printed and shortly the news becomes public property. There are two kinds of news in the paper. One con sists of the affairs of other people, their sayings, doings and what they are going to do; things that may happen, have happenedo r didn't happen. The other kind of news is your affairs. That's the part you will find in the advertisements. There's a lot of valuable news here about things you want or will want; thingh that have to do with your personal com fort, convenience and every-day efficiency. Every advertisement carries a personal message to some ? ne Many advertisements carry messages of vital interest or value to you. That's why you can't afford to miss the advertise ments. INSURANCE A NECESSITY INSURANCE ACTUALLY DEALS WITH ETEBY HONEST BUSINESS CNDEB THE SUN Fire insurance has come to l>e not only a householder's security, but a national necessity. The home owner must protect his family and provide shelter; the renter must guard his household goods.

John Appleseed's real name was John Chapman, a Massachusetts man born In 1775, who went to Ohio In 1880 with sacks of appleserds. Why he went to Ohio or what his motive was in following the path In life h? did Is not recorded. He was a missionary of the very finest type. He carried the sacks of seed on the back of his horse, and when he could not sell them, he gave them away. He not only distributed seeds throu ghout the countryside, but be often planted orchards for farmers and started them on the road to Indepen dence and prosperity. He took great pride in his seeds and he wanted them to grow into fruit-bearing trees. On account of his earnestness of purpose and his desire to serve, he was a very successful salesman, but he sold on very close margins and gave away all of his profits to custom ers who did not pay. He didn't need much money for his own use, It is re lated, because his object in life was not to make money. But he was in no sense of the word a beggar, because he paid his way many times. He was welcomed by mr.ny a lonely homesteader of that early day because of the cheer that he brought. When he made apple trees grow where no apple trees grew before, and when he left behind Ideas that made people live richer lives, he enjoyed all of the pleasures of a man who had achieved and won success. And now the people whom he be friended have risen up and cf.lled him blessed. His work has lived for a century. The world Is still eager for the same kind of service. It stands ready to reward with Its richest blessings men who are actuated, not by the desire for profit, but by the wish to serve hu manity. Many such lives are being lived now in every community, some in smaller some in larger degrees of service, de pending on the circle in which their lives radiate. We need more Johnny Appleseeds with the one ambition in life to help others live a richer and fuller life. WIld-E jed Driving "Motorists Kill Three and Injure Two," says a newspaper headline. There's nothing particularly unusual about that. It happens every day in some city or some rural community. Lives are continually being slaugh tered at the altar of the god of speed. People are becoming so accustomed to the daily occurence that they no long er feel the sense of horror that once accompanied such tragedies. Wilful disregard of laws and safety rules, as well as the rules of oommon decency, as practiced by a growing number of motorists, is certain to bring into being a flood of "thou-shalt not" bills in the legislature. Though public sentiment seems to be asleep, it will flare up some day. when reckless drivers go the limit, and decent drivers will have to suffer In the reaction when the pendulum swings back. It would be the part of wisdom to attempt to curb wild-eyed driving be fore themany have to suffer for the sins of the few. A. CABD OF THASKS.

Pin Monk And OurY/wes The t ,'rm "Pin Money"' dates hack t?? tli. - 14th century when i>ins were first invented. They, for some unknown reason, were only allowed to be sol I on two days each year and being hand made, "were ' i v h in price. So it became a custom for money to be given to women at their marriage to be used for the purchase of pins. Today jiins are cheap but the custom of giving women small wUms for personal expense still exists. That was the 14th century; this is the 20 century. To day the women are political and social equals of men and should he financial equals as well. As tho head of your household she should own a check ing ac .count and not be given just "Jin Money."
