Otter Tail Farmer Finds UNLIMITED
Neighbor Has Ragged" His Coons.

Fergus Falls.-One of the disadvan-

where as many as fourteen and fifteen
patrons are on single line was H.
Illustrated in the Town of Otto, a few
evenings ago. A prominent farmer
there discovered three coons in the
top of tree late in the evening. He
felt that if he went after them alone,
they would escape. Accordingly he
went home and telephoned a neighbor,
asking him to come over in the early
morning and help him catch the ami
mails. He told him the location of the
tree. The neighbor arrived on sched-
ule time, but he and the discoverer Of
the coons found that the tree had been
cut down in the night and the coons
had been captured. Another neighbor
had heard the conversation over tho
telephone.

many ARE DIVORCED
RECORDS FOR 1910 SHOW A TOTAL
OF 1867 DEGREES OF SEP
ARATlON GRANTED.
MINNESOTA HAS A BAD RECORD
Hubbard County Has the High Ratio
for Unions That End in Courts
kandiyohi Heads the List for
Happily Married..

st. Paul.-The truth of the divorce
evil In Minnesota is not a pretty story
from the standpoint Of one who
frowns on divorce. Out of every 13
marriages performed in this state,
one of them ends in the divorce
courts.
Last year 1917 marriages were
performed in the state and 1867 d.
vorces granted. But this does not
tell the story. The divorce laws
OF Minnesota are not so easy or 80
broad that men and women flock here
from other states to have their mar
riage bonds severed. On the contrary,
scores or even hundreds go from here
to Nevada, South Dakota and other
states where divorce is routine affair
and given as rapidly as the court cal
endar will permit. Just how great this
number of seekers for divorce is may
never be known. 1t cannot be figured
in compilation of divorce statistics.
Divorce Heavier in Country.
The county that holds the record,
Hubbard, where one marriage out of
every 3.9 ends in the divorce courts,
is overwhelmingly a farming commun-
ity and has no cities Of over 1000 in
habitants; moreover, it is one of the
smallest counties and most sparsely
populated in the state.
The county with the best record.
Kandiyohi, where there is one divorce
in 154 marriages, is in the southern
part OF the state and is also over
whelmingly farming community. It
is also largely settled by Americans,
with q very large number of Scandi-
navians. The single divorce to the 154
marriages is unique. Few counties in
the United States can equal the rec
ord.
Cass county, with one divorce in
every IA, and Grow Wing count with
a record of one in 40 follow close on
the heels of Hubbard county. They
are very close to Hubbard, in the
north central part of the state, and are
similar in point Of population, nation
atty and occupation of it's inhabitants.
kandiyohi's Record Unique.
~ oAA6AO NeAoV VI uAfOlC0 III Aau"
diyohi county was that of a farmer
who had left his home several years
ago and had not been heard of since.
The divorce was secured on the
grounds of desertion. The clerk of
the county court gives as his belief
that the citizens of Kandiyohi county
are a self-respecting, Woodworking
class of men and women who mind
their own business and devote their
time to being good citizens. He can
think of no other reason for the abb
sence Of divorces.
The counties of Hennepin and Ram
sey show a rather normal state of
divorce in relation to the country at
large, although Ramsey county with
st. Paul as it's chief city has about
half as many divorces compared to the
numbers of marriages as Minneapolis.
Ramsey county has ratio of one
divorce to every 14.4 marriages., while
in Minneapolis there is a divorce in
every seven marriages.
The following list shows by counties
the divorce ratio for 1910 in Mime

IN CHARTER DISPUTE.
FaribauIt Citizens Present Strange
Lineup In Commission Plan.

Faribault.-The proposed new char.
ter for Faribault to be voted on at a
special election has brought to light
some strange bed-fellows. The Good
Citizenship league and the saloon
men seem to be working hand in hand
for the adoption of the new commits
sion form of government. Every sa-
loon man in town is boosting for the
new charter, while the league is max
ing every effort along the same line.
The opposition to the new form of
government is not saying much. The
principal point of contention is that
not enough time, only seventeen days,
has been given the voters to consider
the matter, although it took the COM
mission two years to frame the char
ter; also that the ones who are sup
porting the new form are not familiar
with the old charter.
Under the present charter the city
bonded Indebtedness has been de.
creased $4,000 in the last ten years,
while many claim that the city has
run in debt that much in the same
time. Records show however, that
the bonded Indebtedness has been de-
creased substantially in the last few
administrations. In addition to this,
extensive improvements have been
made.
The question Of the legality of the
new charter in case it should be adopt
ed at the coming election has also
been brought up. In drafting the
charter and also in the published
form, one section of the boundaries of
the town was left out, while another
section was included that never was
included in the original boundaries.
At a public meeting several men
from Mankato, Des Moines and other
cities, who are familiar with the
commission form of government. will
speak.
