VILE WOODS BECOME PARKs

The landscape gardening which has
transformed a wild woods into one of
the most beautiful scenic parks, will
also serve as an object lesson to farm

More than million plants and trees
are growing on the Exposition
grounds. many of which have been
transplanted: others are native to the
soil. Among the trees transplanted
were several hundred old trees. some
comprising an apple orchard. whose

Manning, landscape designer of the
Exposition, every boy was assigned to
small plot of ground in the garden
and was given sseeds to plant and in
structions how to plant them. In
these gardens are now growing beans,
peas, parsnips, carrots, marshmallow,
parsley and other vegetables. They are
attended by their little gardeners and
are kept clean and free from weeds,
most of the boys taking a special pride
in their gardens
This Is but a preliminary training
for The schoolchildren in gardening,-a
trial heat, as it were, for the race next
year. The actual work is to be taken
up at the jamestown Exposition next
spring.
PRIZES FOR BEST GARDENS.
Those who have made a success of
their gardens this season will be given
preference next year and will have
their same gardens. The Exposition
Company will give prizes or medals for
tina best cultivated garden on the
Exposition grounds and the young
gardeners viii be given some yalu-
able lessons in agriculture. The U. s.
Department of Agriculture and some
OF the state departments will have ex
detrimental stations and gardens at
the Exposition as object lessons to
the young as well as older gardeners.

which have bent toward agricultural
pursuits win have an opportunity tol

Mrs. Cunning has a better recollection of
New Years day following that Christmas
day. That New Years day was firmly fixed
In her mind through the association of
three dozen eggs for which Governor Cum

she made Virginia egg nog, Mrs. Cum
ing being a Virginian. On New Years
morning 1861 Mrs. Murphy. Mrs. Cummings
mother called and suggested the egg nogg.
Mr. Cunning took a walk down the village
road and met man from Council Bluffs
with a basket OF eggs. The best dicker
Governor Cunning could make was $50 for
three dozen. Later In commenting on the
quality of the egg nog to Mrs. Murphy
the acting governor said the eggs were
extra hne. Mrs. Murphy said lshe thought
they seemed TO be just everyday eggs.
Then the governor quoted the price.

DIVORCES MANI IN OMAHA
operations Number One to Every Three
and a Half Marriages
CAUSED BY OUTSIDERS COMING HERE
over Fifteen Hundred Marriages and
over Four Hundred Divorces
Up to First of
December.

One divorce suit for every three and
half marriages is the startling record dis
closed by a compilation of statistics at the
court house for the first eleven months Of
1906. Up to December /, 15B marriage IL
censes had been issued in 1906 and in the
same period s34 divorce suits had been filed
in the district court.
The figures indicate the growing impor-
tance OF Omaha with several other west
ern Cities as a divorce center. Startling as
they are, however. the statistics do not
indicate that of the marriages performed
In Douglas county one out OF every three
OF four Is a failure. A closer examination
OF the divorce records will show that a
very large percentage OF the applicants
for legal separation are in reality residents
of other states, though for the purpose Of
securing the divorce they have temporarily
established q residence I'm Omaha. The lax
ity OF the law which permits a legal resi-
deuce 70 be established In six months is in
a great measure responsibibie for this. An
other reason why Omaha attracts persons
seeking divorce is that Il is large enough
20 furnish employment for wives whose
husbands have deserted them and who have
to rely on their own resources. In numer-
Gus cases women who are required by
pfOulBdlo nuSDdnus 10 earn lhelI own Nv
ing come to Omaha because II Is easy to
get work. After they have been here the
required six months they start suit for
divorce. Partly TO Offset this factor In the
comparison Is the fact that Omaha is also
TO a certain extent a marriage center. A
considerable percentage OF the marriage
licenses are issued to couples both OF whom
live outside the county. They come to
Omaha as a substitute for the wedding trip
More Rigid Law Coming.
The increase OF divorce suits In the last
few years has attracted the attention of
persons who are interested in a more rigid

law on the basis Of the model law recon-
mended by the divorce congress which
