sioux Falls Is Getting Tired Of the
v Divorce Business.

SlNOICG SdottI0oba
In the September American Magazine
George Fitch writes about the divorce
colony OF Sioux Falls. s. d. The article
Is amusing, and yet very informing. Fol-
lowing a Mr.. Fitch's account of a change
OF heart in Sioux Falls about the matter:
LAS a matter of fact, Sioux Falls is get
ting pretty tired of the divorce business
anyway. There was a time when 1t was
the pride OF the city, and practically the.
only money seen in that wind swept sec,
ton was brought there by, divorsays with.
freckled pasts n spangled futures. They
were welcome then. They made things
howl, and Sioux Falls, being glad of the
noise, wasn't p~Rrticular about the tune.
But the city has grown up in the past
few years. There are other buildings now,
taller than the Cataract hotel. There are
citizens richer than the divorsays, who
have automobiles OF their own and who
spend money which isn't so odorous.
There are other ways of getting rich and,
other sights more instructive than
naughty fragments OF, busted families.
The .divorsay Is still q sight and a diver
sion, but he is also a nuisance. strangers
insist upon finding out all about him IA
stead OF learning the more permanent re-
sources of the great northland. Embar-
RAISING mistakes are made and disagree
able jokes are related with gusto by care
AcSS NAsllOIS' 10 IlitldbllB W inc SIOUX
Falls promoter who wants to tell his Gus
toner all about the new million-dollar
packing house, the great water power and
the inexhaustible quarries OF pink granite
from which all Sioux Falls Is built, to
have to stop and explain that the nice
looking woman across the street
is not a divorsay from the east but his
own daughter. and that he himself has
never been divorced, No, sir. Not once!
These things FIJI Sioux Falls with the
same kind of humiliation that the rich
man feels when some one alludes to the
beautiful pawnshop sign which was once
his pride before he graduated into bank
ing"

were as much cut off from communica-

fight with the education authorities the
reformers persuaded them to allow the
whole school to be run on true federal
principles. Tive trained teachers from

been brought from London, and~sthe

GERM4NY'S OPPOSITION.
Resistance to Imposition of HeG0y
Debt on Morocco.

Berlin. Sept. 1.-THE Franco-Spanish note
as published here does not include the repay
rnent of the expenses incurred by the occupa-
ton of Casa blanca as one Of the conditions of
the recognition Of Nulai Haig, but reserves the
right Immediately after the new Sultan has been
recognized TO demand settlement OF the ques-
tons affecting the interests of the powers, par
tjcularlv the reimbursement of the expenses of
occupation.
This is an important consideration from the
German point Of view, for the German govern
nlent has already stated that il would resist
any endeavor to put such a burden on Morocco
al the beginning Of Mulai Haig's reign as the
payment OF such vast sum- which amounts
TO about S20oo0.G00.
C5ermany's position from the beginning Of the
OCCUPATION has been that the French action was
precipitate and that il was prolonged unneces-
sarily and furthermore that France, not Moroc-
CO. should pay the costs.
