One Reason Why
Americans Lead.

One of the chief reasons why this
country leads the world in divorce is
because Americans so often settle
this question in the wrong way by
the wife and husband each going
his or her own way-the wife going
in for society. and the husband go
ing in for business. and both land
ing in Reno When you smeet
married woman travelling alone, or
going to balls and theaters with
friends. instead Of her husband, YOU
don't need any other tip as TO the
state of affairs in that family.
OF course men say that they
have TO WORN 50 hard they haven't
time to go about with their wives.
but if husbands gave their wives
more of their time and personal at
tention and less money it would be
better for both
After all. it's the people that We

that each side is perfectly right

Conservation of Human
Race as an Urgent Need
and
Development Of Deserv-
ing Men and Women
Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DIR. c. H. Parkhurst

THERE is one need of the
times that the generosity of
our large givers seems not
quite to have touched, but a need
which. if handsomely met. would
go far toward the conservation of
valuable material that is now run
ming to waste
We have latterly learned to
realize that our wealth in forests
water power and minerals has
been dealt with so carelessly and
eXtravagantly as seriously to i'm
pair our resources, and to cause
mischief that only the prolonged
pursuance of a more cautious pol
icy will avail to repair
But our new policy of conserva-
ton will not be complete till it also
extends itself outside the region of
our material assets. Very much of
the humanitarian work that is be-
ing done is done in pursuance of
the conservation idea. and is an at
tempt to prevent values in human
bodies. minds and characters from
being wastefully sacrificed
Our thought just now is upon one
particular class of people-men and
women-whose embarrassed condi-
ton is making consistent appeal
to any man who is known to be at
all interested in those who have
abilities and ambition, but whose
abilities are rendered unproductive
and their ambitions disappointed
by the imperious limitations of cir
nces-people who could do
something worth while, but who
are so hampered by adverse condi-
tons that they have no chance to
get q start

If They Have Ability
That s Half the Fight,

If they have ability and grit they
do not need much: but if they have
those qualifications, society, the
state, the schools, the worlds bust
ness. the church. can not afford 10
have their powers of effect wasted.
Fine and competent humanness
is more necessary to the world
than crude oil and timber.
Men and women. capable and
confident, are the best product OF
our civilization. and the recovery
of such from helplessness to use
fulness is one of the best enter
prises to which men Of wealth can
give their hearts and apply their
means.

A Few Dollars Will
Conserve Human Effort.

Not to give such ones an initial
push means a waste of value it Is

valuable than timber or water sup

800. if only it be enough to helr
the wheels to begin to turn.
