In South Dakota, during the year Of
1907, there were $50 divorces granted,
of which 800 were non residents. 1t
has the distinction of leading all other
sections, population considered, in
divorces. The number of divorces
brought a large amount of money to
Dakota which otherwise would have
perhaps gone into the Golfers Of some
other state. Outsiders spent nearly
half million dollars for board, court
fees and attorney fees. During the
past ten years South Dakota has been
paid $5,OOO,000 by strangers within
her gates who sought to get rid of
their martial rites. The AS You Like

for this part of the country that South
Dakota is so far west. If it were not
such an out of the way place, I'M
the number of persons that
would go there to be freed from their
bonds would be many
times greater.
