"Besides, she owns half of their joint property, while the women of the western world had to initiate a movement to acquire a right to their property by inheri tance. Although the islands have had divorce laws in the last four or five years. Miss Sobrepena has never heard of a divorce among her people. "We believe that husband and wife are united by God and that they should help each other and live to gether through thick and thin," she said. "The one thing that makes the Filipino woman unique is that she- is the only woman in the world who is the banker of the family. The hus band turns over his earnings to her and if short, she demands from him a good and satisfactory explanation. If he wants money, he has to ask his w-ife for it and tell her what he does with it. The wife, too, to make her worthy of handling the family finance, uses the maney by investing it in large and small investments, accord ing to the amount entrusted to her.

Under the Spanish ruie, an educated Filipino woman need only to read and write, to know arithmetic up to simple fraction. Interest and proportion, to memorize the code of good manners and right conduct, to play musical instruments and to be able to do fancy work.

It is only within the last few years that folks have begun to appreciate the benefits and advantages of INVESTING their savings. But there are still thousands of men and women who are standing by, passively accepting less than their rightful share of life’s pleasures and prosperity because they are not getting the money their savings could earn if they were invested.

The $70.00 would have been paid to you in four equal payments by the Nebraska Power Company. These payments are called “dividends”.
