MRS. GOULD BRINGS SUIT.
Asks for. Divorce and Ahnony from
Her Husband.

New York, May 20.-Dfferences Of
long standing between Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Gould eliminated Saturday in
the service of a summons and COM
plant in suit begun by Mrs. Gould in
the supreme court for a limited di.
vorce. Mrs. Gould seeks decree of
separation on the ground OF abandon
ment. and does not make any sensa-
tional allegations in her complaint.
1t is probable that the main legal
contest will be on the question of ALI
mony. Since Mr.. Gould has lived apart
from his wife he has given her $4,000
q month for her maintenance. She
asserts that this sum is inadequate,
and that her husbands income is suf-
ficient to justify him in paying her
twice as much. It,sis said that men,
bers of the Gould family held a coun-
Gil to discuss the question whether
Howard Gould should pay her $12O.OO0
Or even 100000 a year and that their
decision was that her demands were
excessive.

STAND BY HOME
CREAMERIES

There is movement on foot to
concentrate the creamery business,
now fourishing in every county OF
the state. in big cities, and as an
inducement alluring offers are being
made to the farmers. to get
them to send their cream to
the cities instead of patronizing
their home cooperative creamerjes.
If the farmers are wise, they will
stand by their own institutions.
The city spectators do not care a rap
for the welfare of the farmers and
90 into the venture for what there
is in it. 1t is very profitable that
in the beginning they will pay a
trifie more for cream than the coun-
try creamery, but should they sue
ceed in crowding the latter out Of
business. which of course will be
their aim, a different tune will be
heard. We may then look for
Standard Oil methods and with no
remedy to counteract it. Every
business man and farmer knows
how the big oil company crushed
competition. Whenever an indepen-
dent concern attempted to sell it's
oil in a town in comptition with
Rockefeller the latter sold his OH at
and below cost until the other fellow
gave up, and then raised the price
point or two above the former price
to make up for the loss sustained in
driving a competitor out of busi-
ness.
Stand by your own creamery. If
it needs improvements, get them.
Have everything up-to-date, includ-
ing the battermaker. You will then
command the highest market price
obtainable and need not fear that
the butter trust which is now being
formed, will take all the profit and
let you assume all the trouble and
responsibility. After the country
creameries are once driven out of
business it will be an easy matter for
the city speculators to dictate the
price. quality and conditions. 1t
will be a good deal like commission
house business-the producer, the
risk and the City man takes the
rest. Red Lake Falls Gatzette.

DELAY IN HAYWOOD TRIAL

five more challenges, to it's credit.

only one~half the number of per-
empty challenges granted the de-
fense. The work of the jury selection
will be taken up again Monday morn
