MANY DIVORCES ILLEGAL.
Sweeping Decision Handed Down b
Federal SuDreme Court

Sweeping Decision Handed Gown by
Federal supreme Court.
1t is doubtful if more momentous
| decision la the interest Of American so
ciety has been delivered by the United
States Supreme Court in recent years
than when on Monday. by a bench d.
yided five to four. it beld that divorces
obtained in States which do not have
jurisdiction over both parties to mar
riage are not enforceable outside the
| State granting them The decision is
based on the clause of the Constitution
providing that each State shall give
full faith and credit to the DEGREES of
another State.
The effect of the decision therefore is
that divorces like those obtained in
South Dakota by the acquisition of a
temporary residence for that purpose
are valid in the State in which the
couple resided only so long as their le-
gality is not attacked
1t follows, therefore, that a divorce.
in order to be beyond attack. must be
obtained in the State of which both par
ties are residents.
The effect of the decision will be to
end the promiscuOus granting of de-
crees and undoubtedly is a long step
towards minimizing an evil which 1t
had been believed could only be correct
ed by uniform divorce law enacted by
the Federal Congress.
The general belief is that divorces
will become less frequent as. when the
purpOrt of the decision becomes known
generally. the movement in favor of
national divorce laws will gain such
force as to compel the passage Of the
constitutional amendment needed TO eff
feet such legislation.
The Importance of the decision was
realized fully by the court itself The
judges who dissented were inclined to
look upon the opinion of the court
either as a backward step or as a re
versal by the court of it's former opin-
ion. 1t is estimated that at least 10000
children are affected by the opinion
Before the decision of the Supreme
Court it was the generally received
opinion that wherever parties are dom
iciled they will be allowed to avail
themselves of the law of this dOmicile,
including the right to bring suit for
divorce. The courts of New York have
been the chief exception to this rule
and have refused to acknowledge the
validity of divorces granted to citizens
over whom their jurisdiction lies by the
courts of other States.
1t was estimated by Chicago lawyers
that 500 divorces in Cook County have
been made illegal by the decision of
the United States Supreme Court, hold
ing such DEGREES null except where both
parties to the suit lived in the same
jurisdiction. 1t also was pointed out
that the way had been paved for all
manner of complication, a few years
hence over property rights and inheri-
lance.

HUNT FOR BIG FORTUNE.
Mysterious Man Digs in Lot and
Promises Revelation 10 Owner.


Whether or not William Kubow has a
fortune hidden on his premises remains TO
be proven when a plat of the place where
$4,000 is alleged to be hidden reaches
Waertown from Grand Forks, \. D. One
day recently Mrs. Kubow noticed a stran-
ger digging in the lot and when asked
what he was doing he stated that sum
of $4,000 was supposed to be hidden in
that locality. The stranger had a talk
with Mr.. Kubow and gave the name of
George 2. FIatt and Grand Forks, \. D.,
as his home. He stated that a prisoner
in a jail in North Dakota had told him
of burying the sum of $4,000 at a point
Sc far distant from Faith Home and the
river. After a search for awhile the man
departed, stating that he would send a
plat of the location if he could secure it.
Mr.. Kubow first took some stock in the
story and dug for awhile, but now says
he thinks it is untrue.

Exposition of svveatshop Goods.

A new idea in expositions, says Public
Opinion, has just been realized in Ber-
lin, Germany. with the opening of an ex-
hibit of the products of sweatshops. Its
object is to show the worst side of the
citys life and to bring home to the public
mind the fact that there are thousands
of poor women and children working for
starvation wages under conditions worse
than slavery. The exhibits have been pre-
pared by various charitable societies. the
goods being purchased directly from the
workers. Among other things. the ex-
hibit shows a great difference in the price
for the same work in different sections of
Germany. AT one place the maker of a
simple umbrella earns s cents, while at
another only > cents is paid for a more
elaborate one. Women and children make
artificial flowers at less than / cent an
hour. In the trade of children's wooden
toys children are largely employed. work
ing for mere pittance, day after day

nate children to play with"

Good way to Catch Hawks.

A Minnesota farmer, who has been
successful in catching hawks, says:
To trap hawks, owls and crows that
bother your chicken coops, get a pole
of 2x4. IA or 10 feet long. AT one end
of this pole make a notch in which to
place a small steel trap. the trap to be
held in place by means of a few tacks
or small nails. FaSten the chain good
and solid about foot from the end.
Dig hole for the other end of the
post in some open place about FIVE rods
from your coops or where these pests
are more likely to perch to watch for
your chickens. Generally when they
get caught, they jerk the trap out of
its position and then hang until you
relieve them. Try it and report re-
turns
