SAYS WIFE

Take your old things and
get out" is the expression
John Deitgen says his wife
used in Walla Walla in 1906 when
he says she threw both him and
his clothes into the street, and on
the strength of this he has ap-
piled for divorce.
Anna Mary Deitgen, the wife,
declares in her answer to the COM
plant that she did not use the ex-
preston and denies throwing her
husband and his clothes into the
street. She further says she is a
cripple and forced to use O. crutch
while Deitgen is an ablc-bodied
mechanic with $1,000 to his credit.
She asks the court to force her
husband to give her $3.50 with
which to fight the case.

enjoy a hug. The dance is hug

JURY

STATE WILL REFUTE SELF
DEFENSE PLLEA--MRS. coz
IA IN COURT.

That Sam Cozza fired over the
shoulder of Pietro Soda, while
Soda was holding Pasquale Mauro,
will be the fact the state will rely
upon to disprove Cozza's defense
of self-preservation in his trial for
the murder of Mauro.
The jury was complete this
morn by IL o'clock, and following
the opening statements by counsel
for both state and defense, viewed
the Commerce street hall of the
Fidelity building where the shoot
ing occurred. The taking of tes-
timony began this afternoon at
1880 o'clock, and it is expected the
case will go to the jury within
three days.
Mrs. Sam Cozza, who is but 25
years old, and who is alleged to
have been the cause of the shoot
ing, appeared in court this morn
ing attired in black. She will take
the stand in behalf of her Cougar
old husband.
Attorney Leo, in his opening
statement, intimated not only self
defense, but the fact that CozZs
feared the disruption of his hom'
through Mauro's attentions t.
Mrs. Cozza. The state is prepared
to show that Mauro is married
having a wife and child of tire
years in Cozena, Mangone, Italy
to whom he RENTED $3.50 sine

The Auto Farmer,

The number OF automobiles owned
by farmers is growing rapidly. Out
Of 10000 autos in Iowa, 5000 are own
go by farmers. Kansas farmers spent
S3,200,000 for automobiles during 1909,
and $2,750,000 in 1908. In one Ne
braska town of 500 population 40 autos
were sold last year to farmers near
town and retired farmers in the town.
Careful estimate of the number of
automobiles owned by farmers in the
entire United States is 10000
Nowadays there is no more cry about
lack of opportunity on the farm. Six
teen automobile makers are advertis-
ing autos to the farmers in the $50
farm papers of the country, and most
of them are arguing that the automo-
bile will keep the boy on the farm and
make life more livable for the wife,
whose dreary round of labor has been
the pity of the country.
Now the farmer with an auto can
take his family for an evening call or
lecture, without using his horses: He
can go to church on Sunday more
regularly: he can visit distant rela-
tives and friends more frequently; he
can go to town oftener and more
quickly. One Dakota farmer, who is
extremely fond of hunting, but lives
DO miles from the game district, takes
his son with him on Saturday during
the season and comes back Sunday
night with a deer or two slung across
the radiator, and bubbling over with
tales OF his trip.
There are $4,000, 900 people living on
farms and in towns of less than 1000
In this country. This means that over
half of our population is practically
In the country. About 25,000,000 of
these are young people, and they are
just as keen for pleasure as young peo-
pie anywhere else. That is one big
reason for the automobile on the farm.
Ten or fifteen years ago farmers
bought organs for their daughters and
buggies for their sons. A great many
of them are today buying autos for
the whole family. An entirely new
has been given to the viii
lage social life in consequence.

The Common Interest and the Square
Deal.

AS a matter Of course we are all
for interurbans and for all of them
that we can get into Rock Island.
On this point there is no issue be-
tween Second and Third avenue and
no occasion for one. What is wanted
is harmony in the business district
and square deal all around. The
Argus has repeatedly stated its own
position on the proposition involving
the routing of cars on Second and
Third avenues, maintaining that Third
avenue could be given street railway
concessions that will not prove preju-
dicial or harmful to the long estab-
lished prestige of Second avenue as
the main business thoroughfare.
There is a common interest that
binds and that is TO be evinced not
only in one harmonious chorus for all
interurbans and in standing together
to secure them, but In a square deal
always among ourselves.
That's the get-together way.

AS preliminary to the construc-
