DIVORCES IN IOWA.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye calls at
tention to the fact that after ali the
wailing and protest about the divorce
evil, we in Iowa have little just
ground for complaint or apprehension.
According to the Hawk Eye, the
forthcoming report will show that of
the marriages made in Iowa ninety
per cent stick. while ten per cent
prove misfits and are dissolved in the
divorce courts.
Commenting upon these facts, the
Hawk-Eye, with its usual good sense
on such matters, says:
And surely it is better that people
who have mismated in an hour OF
folly be permitted to go their several
ways than that they be condemned to
a lifetime of misery, as punishment
for an ill-advised step For there can
be no worse punishment than to COM
pei two to live together who repel
each other, and whose very presence
has become hateful to each other.
Consider it from another stand
point. People frequently rush into
marriage heedlessly. They marry IN
haste and repent at leisure. But
when they go into business they cal.
culate very carefully and weigh all
the chances. Most men are more
careful in the selection of their bust
ness associates than they are in the
choice of their " ife, always provided
they are not lassoed in leap year wher
of course, they have no choice in the
matter. But although man gives tht
closest attention to his business. it i!
estimated that ninety per cent OF thu
| business mn in a community fai
sooner or later. Yet it has never &C
Cured to anybody to rail at business
and demand that something awful b'
| done, and to declare all business ;
failure. simply because nine out of tel
business men find the game TOT
difficult.
! II 30 per cent of the business mel
| fail and business is still honored ant
respected as it should be. it seems tn
height of folly to talk of marriage a
a failure simply because ten Der cen
of the marriages are misfits
| Ii divorces, which amount to ten pc
cent of the whole. are undermlnlni
the very foundations of society, wha
then must be the condition OF ou
great business structure. when ninet
per cent of the men who enter bust
ness are sure to fail.
The trouble is that the people VIII
wall and protest never see and thin
of the ninety per cent of happy an
contented married couples, and can
will see nothing but the unhappy
mismated ten per cent.
There is little or nothing to add
what the Hawk.Eye has said. III

been most admirably summed up b

At Colo there is honey ranch or a
bee farm, that demonstrates that Iowa
will produce many other things be-
sides corn. d. E. Lhommedieu will
ship %, 600 pounds of honey from his
place near Colo this year. The largest
crop. prior to 1908. was IA, 900 pounds.
Evidently this must have been good
year for bees and honey. And Incl
dentally it has been good year for
this Iowa bee farmer. OF course the
Iowa honey compares very favorably
with the very best that can be found
upon the market. and no doubt. by
and by, there will be more progressive
Iowans, who will go in for honey
farming on large scale. and who
will permit the busy bee to contribute
to their we'll being and prosperity.
Somehow bee ranching looks better tt
the average man than breaking you'
