SUIT LONG DELAYED
KANSAS WOMAN SUES FOR D,
voRCE AFTER 20 YEARS.
Action Was the First Big Luxury ir
the Self Sacrificing Life of De-
serted Mother of Eight
Children.

Chlcago-Mrs. Ernest B. Case in.
dulged herself in a luxury the otheI
day, the first big luxury. by the way,
she has had in twenty years. The lux.
ury was suit for divorce.
Nearly twenty-one years ago Mrs
Case was living at Sedgwick, Kan
She was a well preserved woman oi
forty then, with brood OF eight
young children around her-and {
husband.
One day the husband disappeared
He went off to town ostensibly on q
marketing expedition, leaving the wife
and her eight young children on the
lonely little farm together. He never
came back
1t required almost the whole of the
first three months for Mrs. Case to
realize she had been deserted. She
had hoped against hope that such q
thing could not be true, that this hu.
initiation had been spared her, but
finally she found herself face to face
with the fact
Then she made up her mind to for.
get the past and turn resolutely to the
future for her children's sake. -Four
years went by. With the aid OF kindly
neighbors she managed to exc out a
living on the farm. At the end OF the
four years one of the neighbors who
had shown interest in her affairs sug.
gested that she should get a divorce.
But Mrs. Case refused.
Il couldn't" she said. because OF
the children.
Ten years slipped by, years Of bit.
ter hard plodding, because the chill.
dren had to be reared and fed and
educated, and it all took money. Bu'
at last some of the children reacht
maturity and then the work Of the
mother grew lighter. They all by this
time had learned the story of the
recreant father, and the older OF them
urged, almost commanded. their moth
er to start the proceedings that would
give her legal separation.
Again Mrs. Case refused. She die
not tell the children why, but the rea
son was that in addition to an innate
aversion Of divorce she had the con
viction that the fact she was di
vorced woman might initiate agains,
her daughters marriages.
The Oldest daughter married the
son OF a neighbor and moved to Chi
cago. One by one the others of the
little flock except the youngest
favorite son-married, moved away
and were settled in life.
Mrs. Case and her boy at last founc
themselves alone on the. farm. He
was quiet boy. His mother loveC
him above all the others because his
health was delicate. When she found
that he was pining because the othel
children had gone from the farm anc
that his strength was growing less
every day. she decided to sell the farm
and move to the residence Of the mar
ried daughter in Chicago. She came
short time ago. The favorite Sol
died few weeks later.

viii Bald Government Barn

Ben Stoelting of Expansion has the
contract for erecting q government
barn at Elbowoods. It is to be 34x84
feet, with the first story, 81 feet, of
stone, with an additional story 10 #.
high of frame work. The masonry
work is sub-let to Max Martell Of Stan:
ton and the carpenter work to Harvey
Monkey of Expansion. This barn will
be used for the rearing of thoroughbred
stock. The government has recently
imported 6 head of Percheron horses
from France and have also secured
several head of full-blood cattle from
Kansas City. This will greatly improve
the grade Of stock raised by the In
dams and will benefit the entire coun-
try.-Stanton Republican.

Peter Benson last week brought us
in some samples of strawberries grown
on his farm as large and luscious as any
ever grown in Oregon or any other Of
the noted strawberry growing states.
The yield, we r informed, is as plen-

indicate. If there is anything grown
on q farm that can't be raised as sue
cessfully here a elsewhere, we want
to know what it is.

The Swedes Good Sporsmen

The Olympic games at Stockholm pre-
sent a pleasant contrast to those at
London four years ago, says an ex-
change. We read of no attempts by
the Swedes to dispute the right of
Americans to their victories. We read
of no attempts to drag an exhausted
runner to the winning post in an effort
to cheat an American of a fairly won
victory. We read of no charges of foul
play by the hosts against their athletic
guests. AS sportsmen, the Swedes
shine by contrast with the nation which
prides itself above all others on its
craftsmanship.
The spirit ~pervading Stockholm is
more cheerful and joyous than that
which prevailed at London. The Swedes
join hands with the Americans and
other visitors in merriment and ebulli-
tions of enthusiasm over the feats of
the athletes. There is none of that re-
straint on the outward demonstration
of feeling which characterizes the En-
glishman in the fear of a display of
bad form and which justifies the saying
of the old chronicler that the English
"take their pleasures sadly" The
Swedes regard the games a a gala
occasion and act accordingly. They
cheerfully accord the palm to the victor
and the only feeling which they appear
to restrain is that of modification when
their athletes are bested in the arena.
All honor to the Swedes. When they
win, we. gladly acclaim them v%ictors,
and when they lose we acclaim them as
''dead game sports"

Raise Potatoes for Money

Harvey Herald: Since the mention,
in the Herald last spring, of the launch
ing into the potato industry by 9. few
of our citizens, the venture has been
watched by many with more or less in
terest.
Those who have become convinced of
the stability of the plan of diversified
farming propaganda, have been opti-
mistic regarding the results, and the
specifically inclined have begun to .'sit
up and take notice." All because of
the excellent prospects for a fiattering
return for the venture. The plots rep
resenting the principal acreage was
put in by DR.. l. D. Clark, 81 acres;
Frank McGlenn, IA acres; M. H. Aved,
and Fred Lilly, who has 20 acres.
These have been we'll cared for and are
looking fine.
In converse with Mr.. McGlenn it was
learned that these potatoes have been
constantly cultivated and run over with
a weeder, and the fields have the APP
pearance of n big garden, and this
very cultivation will assure a crop,
since it holds the moisture so necessary
for the same. While some few have
fostered the belief that this venture
was entered into for the purpose of
giving the farmers q practical demon
stration Of the diversified idea of farm
ing, and a few have even been inclined
to think that it was inferring that they
did not know how to farm, nothing of
this nature has been in the minds Of
those venturing into the business.
It is a good deal as MI. McGlenn re-
marked-he was raising the potatoes
for his own benefit and to make money
for himself, and was too busy to car .
continental whether any one else fol-
lowed the idea or not. However, if one
cares to investigate the outcome, it is q
safe bet they will find that not only
will the returns far exceed the small
grain crop, but in addition, the cultiva-
ton thoroughly cleans the land of foul
weeds, bottle up enough moisture to
guarantee q fine crop for the next year
in whatever may be planted. Laying
aside all sentiment or antagonism for
the new idea it will be well to give this
crop q fair investigation.
