Washington. April 3 (speciaD Brooke

the desirability OF beef the hoof for troops in

cattle into Cuba from Texas to be distributed alive
TO the various garrisons IN the island. and to he
slaughtered as necessity arose for their consump-
ton. without recourse to the refrigeratng and
cold-storage establishments such the Depart
ment is now erecting at garrisoned posts in the
tropics
General Brooke asked for his opinion on the
proposition and this his reply:

MISFIT
In the Matrimonial Line Are
Again Making Oklahoma
q Mecca,

The rush of divorce seekers to Okla.
homs has begun again. At the open.
ing of the country the first legislature
passed very liberal divorce law,
and thousands of people from New.
Y 1rk City and other large cities of
the east, and even from London, came.
TO this territory and after a three
months stay entered suit from an
Objectionable husband or wife. The
-ich and the poor alike availed them ]
selves of the liberal di7orce provisional
OF cur law to get a divorce, but two
years ago congress knocked the busi-
ness in the head by passing q law
making it necessary for residence Of
one year before divorce suit could be
b!ed. This law, from present indica-I
tions, was passed in the interest of
South Dakota, but the legislature of
South Dakota passed law making il.
necessary TO reside in that state one
year before suit for divorce could be
tled, hence the rush to that state with
its cold climate has stopped and once
more Oklahoma will be the Mecca of
divorce seekers. Lawyers who formerly
resided in Oklahoma have located in
New York City. and are busily engaged
in 7ending people away where they
can obtain a divorce easily These
lawyers have agents in all the large
cities Of the United States and In Paris
and London. At one time during the
divorce rush preceding the law passed
by congress making years residence
necessary before divorce suits could
be filed, there we're merry one thou.

justly proud. With its system Of
schools located at Guthrie, oklahoma
City and Shawnee, it Is recognized
not only as the leading business col I

school whose courses of study art
unsurpassed by those of any college
west of the Mississippi river. The
corporation and school has been in
existence nearly six years and enjcyt
very large patronage. not only from
the Oklahoma and Indian territories
but from adjoining states.
All instructors of the colleges have
had extensive experience in CONNER
cial and public school work They
have prepared hundreds Of young m er
and women for remunerative positions
and Advancement in life. These coll
leges not only place all graduates upor
completion of the course, but alsC
place large per cent of the studeutt
before they have had time TO complete
the work. Qualified help is ever In
demand, and so great is the demand
at the present time that regardless o.
the great efforts put forth the colleget
cannot supply the calls upon them.
For young people just entering upor
manhood and womanhood there is nc
surer stepping stone than a knowli
edge of bookkeeping, shorthand, type
writing and penmanship. In fact
these branches In connection with Q
fair English education guarantee sue
