WANTS 2-YEAR RESIDENCE

Sioux Falls, 8. d.. Dec. IA body
blow was dealt the divorce industry of
South Dakota and particularly of Sioux
Falls when largely through the efforts
of Rt. Rev. w. III. Hare, of this city,
Episcopal Bishop of South Dakota, the
Six months residence law was repealed
and one-year residence made necessary
before divorce could issue.
Now Bishop Hare wants the term Of
residence made two years instead of
one and has inaugurated a campaign
to that end. He would throw other
safeguards around the home by holdA
ing up the final decree for a year after.
the case is heard for the development
of new evidence and to expose the pres
ence, if there is one, of an Illicit lover.
For Uniform Divorce Law.
When seen today at his study, Bishop
Hare declared he was in hearty ac-
cord with President Roosevelt's posi-
tion, set forth in his message, for a
uniform divorce law. AS to state legls-
lation, the venerable churchman said
he favored enactments covering the
following phases OF the subject Of di-
Norce:
First-Distinguish between di-
vorce absolute and divorce from
bed and board. The latter is
sufficient remedy, except where
Second-Forbid divorce except for
extreme causes.
rhird-Do not allow a person to
find new cause for divorce by
emigrating to another state. nor
give him right to sue for divorce
until after two years bona fide res
idence in his new home.
Fourth-Open court trial. Only
he that doeth evil hateth the light,
He that doeth truth cometh to the
light. So says scripture.
Ffth-The decree OF divorce not
to take final effect until one year
has expired Delay may bring new
evidence and a better heart. AT
any rate, it may expose the lover
and cool his Illicit passion.
The States. Disgrace.
Bishop Hare was the other day in
Yanllton in consultation with President
Warren. of Yanllton college, regarding
the matter of reform in South Dakota S
divorce law. He has seen other lead
ing men and he is hopeful that the
legislature this winter Will take up the
matter and remove what the bishop be-
/ lievcs the greatest blot on the States
! fair name.
When the time of residence was
! changed from six months to one year
/ the divorce business was cut down fully
half With a law such as Bishop Hare
suggests, it is admitted that South
| Dakota would become one of the most
Etaid in the union so far as the business
OF seveling marriage bonds was con-
cerned.
That the proposed reforms will be
| fought is assured, for Sioux Falls has
/ long derived great revenue from the
divorce industry, and the legal fra
ternity, which has thrived because of
| it, is expected to combat any effort to

dack boat propelled by the guide, and to-
day we find the waters churned by the pro-
pellers of the power boats.
From time 10 time there creeps into the
State Legislature a measure which provides
for N appropriation of several thousand
dollars for the dredging of channels and the
removal Of stumps, and occasionally there 10
a proposition to erect a lock or State dam
which will afford facilities for the passing Of
power boats and other craft ove rapids.
1t is reasonable to expect that these locks
will grow in number and that the clearing Of
channels will eXtendu until it becomes possible
to operate power boats across long stretches
of the Adirondack country. A bit Of leeis-
lation enacted at the recent session and
which met the approval Of Gov. Higgins
provides 5000 for clearing the channel of
the Saranac River and opening a way from
the river into Lake Kiwassa.
Thus far the Adirondack region has been
considered more especially with regard to
it's resources for pleasure, and although
these features largely determine where one
is to spend the summer. still every one likes
to feel that the summer home will be con-
ducive to health, and in this resDect there
is no question as to the qualification Of the
Adirondack region. Its general elevation,
leaving out Of consideration the lofty noun
tains where no one lives, is from 800 to
1000 feet above the level of the sea, and that
is enough to give an atmosphere stimulat-
ing and invigorating.

BIG FISH FOUGHT Two HOURS.
Land Locked Salmon Weighing II Pounds
10 Ounces-Reat q Maine Record.

KINEo, Me, June 9.-The taking OF a
record breaking fourteen pound thirteen
ounce landlocked salmon by Edward Hyde
of Bath, Me-, was the feature Of a week OF
excellent fishing.
The fish was not only a record breaker
for the lake, but the largest ever taken in
northern Maine inland waters. Rangeley's
best is a fourteen FOUNDER, taken about 1897,
and a thirteen and a half FOUNDER, secured
two years later.
Mr.. Hyde started out at 4 A.. NJ. to do O
little trolling and to whet his appetite for
the breakfast which he proposed to catch.
He padded of opposite his private camp
alone in a canoe. He had barely got the
trolling line out it's length when the strike
came, and it was not many seconds before it
was apparent that there was a big fish at
tn e other end.
A few minutes later the big fish went into
the air, fifty yards away, and for a full hour
from that time Mr.. Hyde simply held on.
Time and again the salmon left the water
in savage, determined leaps, but the tackle
held fast and a taut line kept the fish
moving.
Then the pace began to tell and t wenty
minutes later the salmon was brought near
enough to the canoe to give the angler
heart palpitation, He was prepared to see
a big fish, but not the monster that was
fighting thirty feet away. Ten minutes
more OF battle and the task of landing be-
gan
At first Mr.. Hyde thought Of the landing
net, but he soon saw that this would be USE
less, Then the possibility Of shooting the
fish presented itself but was discarded, and
finally, as a last resort, Mr.. Hyde tired the
Ash by forced rushes and then made for the
slopi &, sandy shore, grasped the line,
dropped the rod, dragged the Ash into the
shallow water of the beach and fell upon it
bodily.
Two hours had elapsed since the strike,
and the anal victory and the struggle had
also called for about all the strength the
angler possessed, The salmon was 81
inches long and was seen by a number Of
visitors as It hung in state on the cabin door,
where, unfortunately, 1t was allowed to re-
main too long before steps were taken for
is permanent preservation.
Another big salmon was taken by Henry
Capen of Augusta, an eight FOUNDER. OF

MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to druggist and got
full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that l ever beheld,
prior to the treatment of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

The Phenomenon of Mammoth For.
tunes Not a New Thing.
While it is not very tangible con
ISOLATION to those Of us who belong to
the less favored class commercially,
fort in knowing that the phenomenon
of mammoth fortunes is not a new
thing.
A magazine writer goes back to an
cient Rome, when there were no rail-
roads or trusts or corporations, and
gives some figures on the individual
fortunes of that day which might look
attractive even to some of our modern
plutocrats.
Seneca, the philosopher and author
was worth $17,5OO,O0O; Lentulus, the
augur, $16,6OO,OOO; Crassus, the poll
tician who formed with Caesar and
Pompey the first triumvirate, had a
landed estate of more than $SOOO,OOO
the emperor Tiberius left fortune OF
$11S,OOO,OOO, which the depraved Calig
ula got rid of in less than a year. A
dozen others had possessions that ran
into the millions.
1t is true that these Romans did not
make" these fortunes in what we
would call regular commercial opera
tons. But they got the money, and
they held on to it, which is about all
that can safely be said of possessions
that run into seven figures in any age
or country.
And, speaking of campaign contribu
lions and so forth, Julius Caesar once
presented the consul Paulus with $500,
600 merely as a token Of esteem and
coupled with the hope that Paulus
would do the right thing in a certain
political matter that was pending. The
argument was effective with Paulus
and neither he nor Caesar suffered any
in popularity.
There are many things under the
sun that are not new.-Omaha World

MUSIC AT SEA.
Conditions Under Which Ships Sal

Conditions Under Which Ships tails
Sometimes Sing.
Some curious facts have been Aoted
with regard to the sound conducting
qualities Of ships sails. Whep rem
dered concave by a gentle breeze, the
widespread sails of ship are said to
be excellent conductors of sound.
A ship was once sailing along the
coast of Brazil, far out of sight Of
land. Suddenly several of the Chew,
while walking along the deck, noticed
that when passing and repassing a.
particular spot they always heard with
great distinctness the sound Of bells
Ginning sweet music, as though being
rung but short distance away.
Dumfounded by this phenomenon,
they quickly communicated the discov-
cry to their shipmates, but none Of
them was able to solve the enigma as
to the origin of these seemingly mys-
terious sounds which came to them
across the water.
Months afterward, upon returning to
Brazil, the crew determined to satisfy
their curiosity. Accordingly they men
toned the circumstance to their
friends and were informed that at the
time when the sounds were heard the
bells in the cathedral Of San Salvador,
on the coast, had been ringing to Gel
citrate a feast held in honor of one of
the saints.
Their sound, wonderful to relate, IA
vored by gentle, steady breeze. had
Travelled a distance of upward Of 100
miles over the smooth water and had
been brought to focus by the sails at
the particular locality In which the
sweet sounds were first heard.
This is but one of several instances
of similar kind, trustworthy authori-
ties claiming that this same music is
often heard under somewhat the same
circumstances and especially in a mois-
ture laden atmosphere.-London Tit
Bits.
