Married a Bird Four Times.

At Mt. Carmel, Ind, woman has
wonderful record Although she
has been married four times, she has
always been Bird. She began life
as Elizabeth Bird, Of Harrison coun.
ty, near Paris, Ky Her first venture
outside the home nest was when she
married Bert Martin. When Martin
died she married Edward Crow. a
farmer. When time came to change
nests she allied herself with William
Robin, and lived happily until the
matrimonial season again rolled
around for Mrs. Robin. Then Arch
BuZZard, a widower, more attractive
personally and socially than his
name would indicate, appeared, and
Mrs. Robin became Mrs. Buzzard.
To the Buzzard roost Mrs. BuzZard
took one little Martin, two little
Crows and one little Robin. One
little Buzzard was already there to
welcome the other little birds. We
do not doubt when her earthly
career is ended she will mount up on
wings to be bird of Paradise.

Husbands Allowed to Swear at wives

Husbands may swear at their
wives with immunity from arrest,
according to recent opinion of Mu-
nicipal Judge Gemmit, of Chicago.
Furthermore, he believes that wife
has no redress in court If her hus-
band threatens to desert her. If the
husband returns home Intoxicated,
the wife may not have him arrested
unless he beats her.
The judge stated his position and
emphasized 1t By refusing to issue a
warrant to wife who told the court
that she believed her husband in
tended to leave her, and that she
wished him arrested.
'The stAteutes read that wife
cannot testify against her husband
except In personal vio!,nce and de-
sertion/ cases." said Judge Gemmit
and won't issue warrants for hus-
bands unless on one of these
grounds"

AERopLANEs TO CARRY MAILS.
Will Effect Great Saving to Post
Office Department..
A Washington dispatch says:


Discussing the prediction of Or
vile Wright that within compara-
lively short time the mails may be
carried by aeropianes, First Assist
ant Postmaster General Grandfield
said:
Prom the rapid progress made in
perfecting the flying machine, the
prediction of Mr. Wright may be re-
allied sooner than most people
think. AS soon as 1t is possible for
an aeroplane or other aerial machine
to safely, promptly and swiftly carry
mail, YOU may be sure the depart
ment will take the matter up, for 1t
has always been the policy Of the
department to keep abreast Of the
times. When this may come we do
not know, of course, but it should
not be SO very far in the future.
Transmission of the mails by
aerial machines will effect a great
saving in the handling Of the mails.
1t is possible that the department
may have fleet of airships built
especially for mail purposes"

Fierce Battle Fought With Whites
I'm Florida Everglades.

Miami, Fla. Aug 13.-For the
first time in 40 years the Seminole
indians on the reservation are or the
warpt,th. A runner brought out Of
the swamps yesterday morning mea-
ger details of fight which took
place between the Seminoles and a
party of White men who were hunt
ing in the Everglades. 1t is indicat-
ed that the entire Seminole tribe has
taken to arms and the grayest fears
are entertained for the safety OF the
white men who may be hunting or
prospecting in the big swamp.
1t is not thought likely that the
Seminoles will attack the settlers on
the edge of the swamp. The tribe is
not strong enough now to carry on
an offensive warfare. On the other
hand the Seminoles are the only peo-
pie in the world who have even a
faint idea OF the ,intricacies of the
paths through the Everglades. 1t
would be quite possible for them to
retire to the recesses of the big
swamp and live on there indefinitely
While it would be practically impos-
sible for punitive force of soldiers
to reach them.
More than 100 white men are
known to be inside the outer rim, Of
the swamp now and their lives may
all be endangered. The cause Of the
outbreak Is unknown. Nor is it es-
tablished that any lives have been
lost as yet.

DECKS CLEARED FOR ACTION.
Tariff Not Satisfactory, but Business
Will Go Forward.
(Manufacturers' Record.)


The tariff is behind us. In many
respects it is imperfect, but the
agitation is out of the way and the
American people will now adjust
themselves to conditions as they
exist
That we are entering upon Pc
riod of vast business expansion
seems to be beyond question. Con-
slider for a moment the fundamental
conditions in the fundamental busi-
ness-that of agriculture. Unless
present crop conditions materially
change it is quite probable that the
total value of agricultural products
for 1909 will aggregate $S,300,O00,-
600 or In the neighborhood of $780,
100000 more than the total of 1908,
which was nearly $400,00O,O00
greater than the preceding year. The
most remarkable fact in our busi-
ness history is this amazing progress
In agriculture. The farmers of this
country are enjoying greater pros
perity than was ever known before
by the agricultural interests of this
or any other land
The value Of farm products in
1880, 1890 and 1900, and for each
year since 1906 have been as fol-

Now Woman Refuses and Man Sues
to Recover Money.

j. L. Moore, Of Loganville, Ca,
has entered suit against Miss Lille
Mabel Bergman, of Gwnnett coun-
ty, to recover $1,000 he claims to
have given her as q part considera-
ton that she would marry him. The
young woman now refuses to marry
him. so he seeks his money.
In the petition he states that on
'JGly "a they entered into a contract,
the terms of which were that they
were to be married August 4th, at
3 O'Clock. AS a part Of the contract
he gave her $1,000 in cash, in con-
sideration of which she agreed to the
marriage. The plaintiff declares she
did not keep the agreement, and re-
fuses to return the $1,000.

In the ten years from 1880 to
1890 the increase in the value Of
farm products was so trihingly small
that 1T averaged only one per cent
year, or $25O,000,OOO for ten
years, hardly one-half of what the
increase in the present year will be
over last year. In other words. the
increase in the value of farm pro-
ducts in one year is now twice as
great as the increase in ten wears
between 1880 and 1890. Between
1890 and 1896 there was very little
progress, but then began a marvel
Gus advance which has continued
without abatement ever since; by
1910 the total value was $4,717,-
100000. Since then the momentum
has continued until in the last three
years, estimating 1909, the aggre-
gate value of farm products is about
S23,5 90 100000. This is more than
twenty times as much as the COM
Dlhed capital of all the national
banks in the United States.
To this wonderful advance, this
amazing growth in wealth, Is large
lN due the quick revival Of business
from the panic of 1907. It was this
condition that saved us from a long
Ill.
and 1t Is this fundamental condition
for marvellous development which
assures an expansion of business
much greater than our country has
yet seen.
Present indications point to the
possibility of corn crop of over
3,OOO,OOO,O 900 bushels, possibly
5OO.OOO,OO0 bushels more than last
year. With the high prices ruling
for wheat, corn and cotton, abound
ing prosperity seems to be assured.
With the tariff out of the way; with
magnificent crops, some harvested
and some practically assured, the
decks have been cleared for action.
The winner of the battle for success
VIII be the one who is ready to do
business; who makes his readiness
known far and wide. The way to do
this is to advertise.
