Determination of legal liability, as well as the amount of damages
is decided between you and the company, or by arbitration.
This coverage provides important protection if you or members
of your family living with you are accidentally injured or killed by
an uninsured or hit-and-run automobile. In such situations it assures
that any damages to which you are legally entitled—but which you
can’t collect—will be made good to you up to the limit of coverage.

Federal Case
The other day Harry walked into a.
cigar store and said to the salesgirl,
“I’d like to buy a carton of cigar-
ettes.”
The salesgirl smiled, said, “There
are so many brands. Which one
would you like?”
Harry thought for a moment, then
mentioned a particular brand, where-
upon the following conversation took
place:
Salesgirl—“Do you want the soft
pack or the crush-proof box?”-
Harry—“Soft pack.”
Salesgirl—King-size or regular?”
Harry—“King-size.”
Salesgirl—“Filter-tip of plain?”
Harry—“Filter-tip.”
Girl—“Menthol or mint?”
Harry—-“MenthoL”
Girl—“Cash or carry?”
Harry—“Forget it—I’ve broken the
habit.”

over a two-month period, at five day
intervals during the growing season
and every seven-nine days during the
late-season before defoliation.
This experiment will be continued
in 1960 and if the final results are as
favorable as the data obtained to date
indicate, this chemical and cultural
control program late in the season
may offer a means for eradication or
greatly reducing the boll weevil pop-
ulations.

Considerate
Two New York City sharpies won
$60,000 shooting dice at the Sands
Hotel in Las Vegas. (That’ll be the
day.) Anyway, they won all this
money and were exulted.
Said the first, “Let’s go back
New York, Bill.”
Bill—“O. K., how do you wanna
go?”
Fred—“Let’s take a cab.”
So they called a cab and Fred said,
“You get in first, Bill. I’m getting
off at 79th street.”
COLLEGE STATION.—A late-sea-
son chemical and cultural control
program at College Station in 1959
showed promise in reducing
over-wintered population of
weevils. This reduction appears to be
great enough to delay the start of boll
weevil control programs the follow-
ing year to effect substantial savings
in insecticide costs.
The program consists of chemical
treatments just prior to and during
the harvest period to prevent the
weevil from going into disapause, the
physiological condition in which they
survive the winter. These insecti-
cide treatments are followed by stalk
destruction if harvest is completed
before frost kills the cotton.
Results obtained to date indicate
this practice may be an effective
eradication measure, according to
Dr. J. R. Brazzel, associate professor,
Texas A. & M. Department of En-
tomology, who worked on the sub-
ject. He said the chemical and cul-
tural program was used in an iso-
lated 18-acre cotton field, about four
miles from a cotton field of five acres
and more than 10 miles from large
acreages of cotton.
Insecticides used were methyl par-

Preferred List
A man who had been a beekeeper
was surprised to find himself ap-
proaching the pearly gate with the
man who had delivered his milk on
earth. They found a line-up a mile
long and as they took their places an
attendant said, “Give me your cre-
dentials, please, gentlemen. We’re
swamped just now, but we’ll get
around to you in a week or so.”
Discussing certain events in their
earthly lives, they were wondering
whether they wouldn’t be consigned
to the other region, when they heard
themselves being paged. “Here we
are,” the beekeeper called, as the at-
tendant came hurrying.
“You two come right in, gentle-
men,” he told them cordially. “This
is the land of milk and honey, you
know, and we can always use more
milkmen and beekeepers.”
Legal Checkup Is Safety
Measure
Legal trouble is easier and cheaper
to prevent than to cure.
Most wage earning, child-bearing,
home-buying, installment paying
families don’t see much need for a
family lawyer.
Often under prodding, one may get
a lawyer to write a will.
But can you tell a big legal risk
from a small one? Can you spot the
signs of legal trouble?
Check with your family
when:
1. Your status changes: Upon com-
ing of age, marriage, the birth of your
children, buying a house, divorce or
death. For you may then need to
draft or revise your will, change your
insurance, or re-figure your taxes.
2. You buy or sell. Look out for
flaws in the papers before you go in-
to debt, part with money, or sign any-
thing involving big expenditures or
long term obligations.
3. You enter into other contracts.
Promises, spoken or written, bind you
if they call for a “consideration,”
something of value in return.
4. Someone threatens your rights.
The law exists to defend them, but
with some rights you must take ac-
tion yourself for them to work for
you.
When you can bring your lawyer
“live” facts (e. g. unsigned contracts,
vexing tax returns you haven’t filed),
he can do much more for you, and at
a smaller cost than when you bring
him “cold facts” (mistakes you have
made which threaten trouble).
But above all, get both live
cold facts to him at once.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Get out your
pencile, men, and see if the bride-to-
be can pass this test. If she
make a passing grade of 74,
look around some more.
The matrimonial rating
worked out by University of
ville professor John Scott Long, goes
like this:
Give the young lady 40 percent for
physical attractiveness.
Add 15 percent for cooking abil-
ity. This means knowing the proper
foods, not just how to dish ’em up.
Her skill with money is worth 15
percent. (“You make it, she spends
it,” says Dr. Long.)
Sewing ability is good for 5 per-
cent, providing the girl hasn’t skip-
ped the critical lesson—buttonholing.
Count 15 percent for health and 10
percent for similarity of interests
with yours (music, religion, stamp
collecting, or whatever).
Even if the girl passes, Dr. Long
suggests bachelors not marry until
they’re old enough.
The professor, who is director of
an organization that hands out $200,-
000 a year in science scholarships,
says early marriages are robbing the
nation and industry of talented men.
“The supply of students is drying
up. There aren’t any,” he told the
Rotary Club here.
“Today’s youth, before they’ve
earned a dollar, think they’re en-
titled to an automobile, a wife and a
baby.
“You’re spoiling them rotten by
letting them do it.”
Dr. Long also had a word of warn-
ing for men married to “wonderful
cooks.”
“They’re killing their husbands—
too much starch.”
Put down that skillet, ladies. The
professor is a happily married man—
and he’s not overweight.
So That’s It
“Don’t you think five dollars is
pretty high for a hunting license?”
the young man inquired of an elderly
courthouse clerk. “I notice that even
a marriage license only costs two dol-
lars.”
“That’s right, son,” said
clerk calmly.
“Well, how come?” the youth de-
manded.
The clerk leaned over his counter
confidently. “It ain’t the initial cost,
son,” he whispered. “It’s the up-
keep.”
