TOO MANY DIVORCE COURTS.


Notwithstanding the testimony OF
so eminent an authority on divorces
as Lillian Russell that divorce IS
a great blessing" or something that
means the same thing. the sober
student of sociology in a foreign
country hardly looks upon the lax
divorce practices in this country
without astonishment II not abhor.
renee. Under the conglomcration of
divorce laws enacted by the warn.
Gus states 1t is morally possible
for a person TO be legally freed
from his life companion In one state
and yet be under moral obligation
to the same person so far as the
laws of another state are concerned.
1t may be somewhat surprising
minded that there are 1921 divorce
courts in this country. and the
variety OF cause for which divorce
may be secured in them Is almost
as great as their number. America
has more divorce courts than all
of the other countries of the world
combined. England has one. Ger.
many has twenty eight and France
has seventy-nine.
The great preponderence of di.
vorce courts in America over those
of other countries is not because
the American husband and the Am.
erican wife are more fckle and
careless OF a solemn vow than the
married people Of other lands. but
1t Is because Of the careless enact.
ments that have put the divorce
, laws OF the country as whole
! into an almost indisinguishable
tumble. True. many inconsiderate
persons take advantage Of the easy
= release from matrimonial alliances
: which this jumble affords. but tina,
fact does not affect the reputation
= of the great majority of the Am
> erican people who look upon the
home and the marriage relation as
an institution of perpetuity to be
kept inviolate for all time.
The great variance between tn.
: divorce laws of the various states
, is the chief reason for the point
I ing of the finger of scorn at what
: may be regarded as a national mis-
take. The easy manners of South
Dakota brought that state. and

GOT SO FOR HIS MUsTACHE.
Mysterious New Yorker Secures At
lantic City Mans Facial Adornment.

Atlantic City, n. J., Aug. I'D. A.
Ramano, an Atlantic avenue barber,
sold his luxuriant black mustache to
a New York visitor for $40 today,
after a lively five minutes of bidding
on the part of the stranger.
The purchaser of the hirsute ap-
pendage of which the barber was
most fond followed outspoken ad-
miration for the mustache with an Of
fer of $3.50 for it's ownership, but was
coldly refused. Later, however, he
returned and offered a five dollar bill
to the barber to cut it off. This offer
was also refused, but when the
stranger increased his offer to a new
ten dollar gold note the barber sue
cumbed and clipped off the mustache.
1t was neatly wrapped up and de-
livered, and the stranger left the place
without giving any reason for his
strange whim.

Pacific freight train. made up yester-

The potato harvest. started three
weeks ago, is now at its height. In
the Kaw valley from Kansas City,
Kan, to Lawrence, men and boys and
women and girls are at work in the
fields, while scores of wagons are haul
in~ them to the railroad stations.
1t is difficult to determine accurate
ly the number of acres of potatoes
grown in the Kaw valley this year.
Last year Wyandotte county's total
was 5000 acres. and this years acre
age is placed at 10 per cent larger than
that of 1906. The total yield last year
was 354, 900. or about an average of
11s bushels to the acre. This year
the average is expected to be above 125
bushels to the acre. the growers say.

The above statement was made BY

Jones bases his optimistic prediction

itself among the tsdry states"
winning of the battle for pro-
hibition in Georgia is the opening gun

is the direct result of the persistent
and intelligent educational campaign
throughout the nation" The first ef-

thinks, will be felt in other southern

The prohibition leader is sure that
the Republicans and Democrats will
be fighting over the liquor question as
their main issue at an early date, Civ
