The MATER OF DIVORCE.

A Missouri authority on the sub.
ject wisely counsels that divorce
should be considered always from the
standpoint of the children. 1t is
maintained that there is no point in
keeping two old fools tied UP who
can't stay hitched. The argument
proceeds:
God blessed marriage in general
but we don't believe He mad much to
do with good many cases in particu.
lar Divorce is. bad, but marriage
with hell in the home is worse. A
Judge ought to think twice before he
refuses to loose good woman from
bad man, or tie a good man to a
bad woman. Divorce does not wreck
home The wreck has come to a
home before it reaches the court The
divorce is simply the record of a
wrecked home. Loose marriage laws
are responsible for many of the Gi
vorce evils. Love makes the home

hard for court to patch up HON :

number. the effect is more than off
set by the s197.3s5,225 in amount of

was greater in the last half than in

A capital city contemporary pub
lishes a. table showing the growth Of
this state through figures giving the
situation at different periods OF the
sixty-three years of the history OF
Iowa. These figures make It appear
that the state since her admission
into the Union has increased in popr-
Iation twenty-five times the number
at the start. The expenses of the stace
government are now ninety-nine times
what they were at the beginning
while the valuation of property is PIC
times that then. the fun valuation
iof the year 1909 being deemed as
much below true value proportionately
as was that of 1916. The permanent
school fund is now thirty times as
large as had been accumulated then;
while the expenditures for school pur
poses, including houses. etc. are 81
times as much as was appropriated
for the same purpose sixty years ago
and the school enrolment is 220 time
as great as then.

The Cost Of Newspapers.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The Toledo

its paper per year from one dollar
to s1.50. Its readers should not OBJ
ject to the increase, and probably will
not. They will not If they give five
consecutive minutes thought to the
question. The newspaper is the most
reasonably-priced thing ON earth.
weekly at $50 per year costs the
reader only about three cents per is
sue. If the subscriber paid for his
paper at the rate he pays for other
things he would be paying about ten
cents per issue. The price of paper
has been increasing; the price Of la
Dor and every kind of material is
higher rlan it has been for years, and
yet the general tendency among news
paper publishers has been to lower
! rather than increase the cost to the
subscriber. Recently, however. the
rapid advance in other prices has lit
orally compelled many newspaper pup-
/ fishers to increase their subscription
rate or go out of business.
It is not alone in the weekly field
! that the price Of newspapers is low.
In the daily newspaper world rates
have been reduced far below the value
of the paper to the subscriber The
paper which sells at three dollars per
year is really almost given away-its
price is less than one cent per issue
And yet there are people who count
the three dollars big price Some
of these same people, who would kick
on paying two cents day, or six dol
lars year, fo1 a daily paper. would
not balk on paying from ten to. TWEEN

A well-known financier who made
his. money by speculation advises
against such course in life He
says that the real prizes OF life come
from Industry and the best field for
industry is the farm. He is quoted
as saying:
Acquire land and cultivate it in

tial fortunes to he made out of agri
culture than any other American in
dustry. Farmers are the real wealth
creators They are buying more lux
uries now, for themselves and families

The feet should be borne in mind
too, that fortunes made on the farms
are, in vast majority of cases. les:
