Decision Handed Down by Justice

Cleveland. Ohio.-The decision OF
Justice John Ford, in supreme
court divorce case in New YorL city.
in which he advanced the opinion
that any woman wanting a divorce
should be given 1t by her hus band.
finds no favor with the judges Of
Cleveland courts
Instead OF accepting Justice Fords
opinion as advancing the divorce
problem. the judicial opinion here is
that II amounts TO a harmful doc.
trine. dangerous to the countrys
home life and approaching an advo.
cacy of free love
"lf woman wants divorce so
badly that she will swear falsely
against her husband" said Justice
Ford, lit is his place to keep still
and let heI go ahead "
The divorce is problem of law
not one to be lectured on as proper. Z"
said Justice Estep Such an opin.
ion as Justice Ford is quoted with
is a doctrine close to free love
Divorce should not be made an
easy matter There are TOO many of
them here and every other place in
the country. In Ohio one of the most
common causes for divorce is gross
neglect of duty, blanket charge that
makes divorce easy think il
should be changed and believe that
the Legislature should make some
provision to investigate the troubles
which lure husband and wife into
court
Instead of helping people to sep
arate, the court should have some
means of measuring just how great
or how small their troubles are. 1t
certainly works harm when marriage
lies are lightly regarded In high
places"

Claimed Animals Can Easily Be

Meat Can Be Produced at Less Cost
Per Pound Than Beef, Mutton

tions on Food.

Las Vegas, n. M.-George W. Russ
OF Kansas City, Mo. who has a herd
OF about 100 elk in the Ozark noun
talns, declares that In many parts OF
the United States elk meat can be
produced at less cost per pound than
beef. mutton or pork These animals
afford a much greater proportion OF
dressed meat than cattle do.

The price OF such stock is determined

Live elk sold at forced sale have
been known to net the owners less
than s25 head. but conditions would
soon change II the laws concerning
the sale and shipment OF venison

mand for breeding stock would grow
and increase the cost OF starting, as
we'll as the returns from the busi-

The natural food supply is an i'm.
portant consideration in choosing a
range for the elk While elk have
done well in bluegrass pasture and
on the prairie grasses alone they do
far better on preserves which have a
variety of tood-grasses, bushes ana
trees Rough lands well watered by
streams and having a considerable
proportion OF forested area are best
adapted to their wants.
On an average. such lands will sup.
port about the same number of elk
as OF cattle on the same area, with.
out impairing the range There should
be thickets for the animals and a
supply OF winter foliage OF other kinds
will prevent the too rapid destruction
of shrubbery in thickets
