THE PURPOSE OF MORALITY"
Rockford REGISTER


+ Judge Slower Of the Kansas, circuit
court observed in a decision recently
rendered in a divorce case "The pur-
pose of morality is not served by keep
ing people together who prefer to live
apart" This is good as far as it goes.
but it Is attacking the divorce evil at
the spout instead Of at the hopper. He
might have said with equal force and
vastly more pertinence The cause Of
morality is not served by divorce laws
SO lax that people who are not con-
genial or qualified for married life IN
any true sense whatever can enter into
it knowing when they do so that If the
experiment Is not to their liking they
can sever the marital bonds on the
most trivial grounds, and renew the
fiasco with other folks Of the same
type" The divorce evil will be simpli-
fed when marriage is .hedged about
with more sensible safeguards and
when those who enter it are made to
realize beforehand that it is serious
and sacred, not trivial, enterprise; to
be shucked off as one would a last
years hat or pair Of shoes.

The Northern Iowa Power Company
is building a big cement dam across
the Des Moines river at Humboldt.
and will erect power house at 4
total cost of some $4,000. The same
company is about to spend 100000
more in dam and power house at
Fort Dodge and the total horse power
developed by the two plants will be
1000. They will sell this power along
the line and expect to make - good
profit.
Water power is the most practical
and cheapest project Of the day. Pow
er is an. asset needed at all times.
and the more cheaply it can be pre-
duced the more probably 1t can be
sold The towns which have water
power plants are going to be greatly
benefited thereby. 1t is not drea N.
but an undertaking.

JUST A SENTIMENTAL OLD MAN.

man came in to protest the other
day In new. report the newspaper
had referred to his son as Kelley
graduate when in truth he had never
taken the Kelley cure but had been
in the Knoxville inebrfate asylum. He
didn't care for a correction but some
how or other he felt that wrong had
been done him. II was bad enough
without any trimmings. Why the
Kelley cure was worse than Knoxville
he didn't understand but ne naturally
grasped at the straw Of defense Of his
ix-ti That was one thing that nigh:
he said Of him little as it might be.
The fact is that the fellow might have
been better off had he been "gradu-
ate" and the fact that he had SUBJ
n1itced 20 treatment In an effort 70 get
rid Of his curse would have been to
his credit. But his old father, seek
ing excuse for his son, resented even
the slight rnisstatern ent.
This Is a hard working old man, this
father. He does actual hard labor at
his advanced age. His case is pitiful

Now there isn't a particle Of business

in this old mans story. 1t is nothing
but sentiment Yes, the fellow will

Somebody will sell 1t to him or he
will "have It shipped IN" We cant
destroy an industry because certain old
men and women agonize over such sons
as this. 1t will not do to set barkeepers
looking for other jobs and saloonists
seeking other means of investment and
livelihood and cut rents Of saloon build
ings down to grocery and dry goods
rentals because sons are worthless and
worse thru booze and old men and
women move out Of town in the sorrow
OF their gray hair seeking some place
where he can't get it. Because he
can get 1t anywhere" We have that
assurance from the saloon advocates

this silly and sentimental old man
imagines 1t harder to get in a dry town
than In one where the saloons begin
business two hours before the groceries
and stay open four hours after the
clothing stores close. His old wife and
the boys mother agrees In this fallacy.
The fact is those old people are senti-
mental. They don't understand bust
ness.
Funny. isn't it, that the old man
shouldn't know that his son is utterly

important Dairy Meeting.

As was announced in the TIMES,
a dairy meeting was called ito order
Saturday at 1890. F. E. Patrick
was called to the chair, and after a
few pointed remarks by the chair
man, H. L. Harcourt, a recognized
dairy expert, of Springfield, Mo-,
was introduced.
His subject in the forenoon was
"The Dairy Cow" His talk was
plain common sense and practical.
1t was feast to those present and
most of them imbibed fresh and new
information that will be a source of
profit

that the business men of Harrison
were not present and didn't imbibe

must be a real wideawake set of
farmers to produce the wealth
None of us can live to and for
ourselves only, so your presence
would have enthused the meeting.
Now | must get back to what was
done. He told us how much money
we ought to get out of our COWS,
and what kind of COWS are most
profitable to keep. He told us how
the COWS help build up the soil, and
how rapidly the value of land in
creased in fertility and value.
At l:3O he again took the stand
and delivered one of the most practi-
cal talks your reporter ever had the

VALLEY SPRINGS, ARK, Feb. Is.
Editor Times:
1t has been quite awhile since we
sent YOU a Sunday school report.
Our Sunday school her; is doing ex-
celent work, with above sixty in
attendance. The interest is unus-
ually good Bro. John McCalpin
was in Sunday school on last Sun
day after an absence of three weeks
caus d BY sickness Quite number
of the members OF our Sunday
school have colds and grippe,
We read with interest the report
of the Cross Roads School and wish
that other schools would follow the
example of this Sunday school and
let the entire county know what
they are doing. am glad to say
that the TIMES is a friend to you,
and YOU should use its columns to
further the interest. Let us hear
from Apena, Batavia, Mount Zion,
Union, Elmwood. Everton, Olvey,
Rogers, Gather, Baines, Lead Hill,
Omaha, Zinc, Pleasant Ridge and all
the rest. Tell us if YOU have lived
throughout the winter.
Say, Bro Whitehead, let us know
what YOU folks are doing up your
way. We go TO Flat Rock the 4th
Sunday evening at 2:30 to re-organ-
ize the Sunday school and to Rally
Hill the first Sunday in March at
3 O'Clock for the same purpose We
visited the Hog Creek Sunday
school the first Sunday and found
them faithfully working, This
school has lived throughout the
winter and will necessarily bloom
earlier this spring than if it had to
be replanted.
May the Lord bless the efforts of
those who are standing for their
schools. We have a command to go
work, and a promise that they who
seek the Lord shall not want one
good thing We expect to hold our
convention some time in April, and
we hope that every school in the
county will be represented So let
us rally to this work and make the
coming convention great because OF
its influence for good.
Yours for Greater Schools,
