C* Owen, Long Time Missionary To Chiu, Talks To Girls Of School. Interesting Subject Difficulties Encountered By Missionaries Recited; Dr. Smith Also Talks. Among- recent speakers to the pu pils of the local high school have been Mrs. J_ C. Owen, -wife of the Raw. J. C. Owen, who was substitute past or of. the Aaheboro Baptist church during February, and Dr. ,C. GL Smith, pastor of the local Presbyteri an church. Mrs. Owen talked to the girls of the senior class ou “The Girls of China,” Wednesday afternoon ot last week. Many interesting experiences as a missionary dealing with Chinese the part of .parents/ the missionaries luttLto pay the traveling expenses of giHs coming to school. “The idea prevailed that money spent on girls was wasted ” said the speaker. “A girl would go to her hus bands family and give everything «l* had to them. The children of one’s daughter were not even called ‘grand children’." According to the former mission ary, the Chinese formerly did not credit their daughters with having enough intelligence to profit by an education. One man said: "I might send my cow to school. A cow might learn something, but not a girl.” - Mrs. Owen declared that she be lieved some Chinese were so supersti tious as to be really afraid for their children to come in contact with the “foreign devils,” as they called al foreigners. She said the belief that foreigners would bewitch the Chinese, or cut their hearts out for medicine seemed tp exist.

Farmers Mustll Insurance Dm Policies In Members of the Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Association who have not paid their assessment for the cur rent year will not have any insurance after 12 o’clock today. At the annual meeting: in AshAoro on the second day of January an as sessment of forty-five cents on the hundred dollars ’ was ordered, fend members given sixty days from that «'■ day in which time to pay thieir as sessment. Fortunately, a greater por tion of the members paid up, but there are several who have neglected the matter, and these can put their insurance back in force by paying: their premium at once. Many members have the wrong- idea about the insurance. Some believe that they cannot collect all their in surance in case of loss, while others believe they will have to pay ornaoR insurance than they carry. This is * mistake. No member is required to pay on insurance that he does not have. Neither is he required to take out more insurance than he would collect in case of loss by fire or wind. Farmers’ Mutual insurance is the beat and cheapest insurance for the farm ers, and they are urged to remain in the association and receive the pro tection that they need.
