THE FOLLY OF LAWSUITS.

Whatever else you do, don t
get into a lawsuit over some trif-
ling disagreement with a neigh
Dor. The courts are full of suits
which could have been settled by
mutual concession or by arbitra-
|tion to the great advantage Of all
parties except the lawyers in the
case. Just the other day a suit
was decided after two or three
years Of expense and worry on
the part Of two families. It was
over disputed line, as so many
such suits are. and the land in dis
pute was probably not worth fifty
dollars. The suit cost the win
ner 1925, and the loser. being
taxed with the costs; necessarily
had more to pay. It is probable
that each party spent at least 500
worth of time in monkeying with
the case.
Another case recently noticed
is where a farmer had a right to
get water from a spring on a
neighber's land. He wanted to
build spring-house. the owner
objected. The first man had got
along without a spring-house for
years. it would not have damaged
the landowner a penny, yet an in
junction has been issued and a
lawsuit is on. Each party will
probably spend several hundred
dollars and be no better off. and

One of the things you need in
this country il for religion to be
taught in the church, the school
and the home. The home is to
blame for most of the wicked
ness in the world. What the
average family is doing is turn
ing out . bunch of cigarette
smoking, booze-fighting, pin
headed, disappearing little
schrimps to marry silly, gum
chewing. ragtime. powdered lit

EASY TO AVOID DIVORCE.

Judge Jetit. of the Chicago d.
vorce Court, who has 5ust com
pleted his annual six weeks ealen-
der. made up mostly of divorc"
suits, has come to the conclusion
that parents of young married peo'
PIE are largely to blame for fam
lily troubles.
"The mothers-in-law are fore
most trouble Makers" said the
Judge. 81 have all reverence for
mothers and motherhood, but they
must not argue with their daugh-
ter-in-law or son-in-law, but must
realize that they are individuals
and have their work to do in the
world. Mothers can give advice
when asked for it.
But summer resorts winter re-
sorts and fiat life can be blamed
for many divorces 1t is bad for
husband and wife to be separated
by trips away from home.
The judge then gave this advice
to husbands:
Don't quote mother.
Call up your wife while at bust
ness and ask how she is, and that
you called her up just to hear her
voice.
Bring her box of candy.
One of the new books that she is
interested in.
A flower, even if it is faded and
you have picked it up of the
street.
A pretty pin or handkerchief.
And don't ever lay your head
q your pillow at night without
having done something to gain
and obtain a firmer hold on your
wife's love.
Kiss her every day.
At least once a month meet her
down town and take her to din
ner or the theatre.
Dent ever stop counting, for
as soon as you do, some other fell
low will begin.
Make your wife your companion.
Take her out with. you. and
when you have to have a big time
take your wife along, and TIE d.
vorce evil will be lessensd.
For wives the judge advised.
Don't quote father.
Pet your husband; he's only
big kid. Meet him at the door
with a smile.
Dress as carefully as you did
when he came counting.
Wear the color he likes You in
and the style of gown.
Have something in the way Of
a surprise dish for dinner.
Read the papers and magazines
and be your husband 5 intellectual
equal.
Keep up with him in any special
line Of work.
Encourage his hobby.
Be sympathetic and do not tell
him all the troubles of the day; he
has had his own, more signifi-
cant and important individually,
than all yours put together.
Keep his clothes in order, a
clean house and good food.
Your husband is then yours
forever and ever. No chorus girl
or pretty stenographer can take
him away from you. But keep
him or somebody else will snap
him up and make him think she
and she alone ever did or will un-
derstand him.

Rabid.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in the course
of an address 10 young men on New
Years eve, warned them against making
resolutions they were otlikely 10 keep.
Rash resolutions
Mr. Rockefeller smiled.
81 was about to say that men who act
raShly are ridiculed," said Mr. Rookie.
Teller, 'but, remembering the TallahaS.
see representative, | must admit that
there are exceptions.
"A bill was once introduced in the
Tallahassee Legislature providing for
the prompt slaughter of rabid dogs. AT
the mere mention of the title of this bill
an old gentleman, representative from
one OF the interior counties, arose, and
with great earnestneSs said:
Mr. Speaker, | am opposed to that
bill. I've got rabbit dog myself He
amt much for looks, but | tell you,
when that dog gets on a hot trail in the
brown Sedge, and little later you hear
his voice a-yelpin' in high key and the
yelpS gettin fainter and fainter, till by
and. you can just hear 'em down in
the holler, and you go there aud see a
little bench-legged yellow rascal barkin'
under tree, ieS' you get a long pole
and meat is your'n for dinner"
"When this eloquent appeal for the
rabbit-dog was concluded, other owners
of rabbitdOgs rose in body and con-
graduated the speaker warmly. The
bill was killed by large majority"

Prof Walter F. Wilcox of Cornell
University has it all figured out. He
says that there will be no babies born in
this country after A. D. 2O15. This
mathematical conclusion was based on
the present race suicide statistics in the
United States. There is nothing like a
college education to teach a man to
"figger." And college education can
sometimes make more kinds OF dern
fool of man than anything else. Prof.
Wilcox made his startling announcement
at meeting OF the American Statistical
Association at its concluding session in
ST. Louis last Friday. But no one was
startled.

Beautiful DeLcon Springs with 1900
acres of land surrounding in Volusia
county has been sold TO a New York
promoter who proposes to harness its
grand flow of 36,0OO,OOO gallons of
water per day and utilize the power to
generate creased lighting for vulgar
commercial uses This great spring
site has been beautiful spot for spoon
ing and other sentimental purposes
from a time antedating the failure of
Juan Ponce de Leon to discover in its
waters the fountain of youth. What de
Leon failed TO find others have found.
True, men who have spent their lives in
the neighborhood of the spring and
who have used its limpid waters as a
beverage, or as a mere CHASER" have
died, but it wasn't the water that put the
quictus on emit was pure lonesome
ness. This New York promoter will
bring more people and disperse the lat
ter. The water will still gurgle.
