WIFE A necessity
AND NOT A LUXURY

Chicago, June II have always
considered that a wife was a neces-
sity and not a luxury" said Judge
Goodnow of the Court of Domestic
Relations to DR.. Thomas D. Lantry,
who was charged with non-support.
Il think a good woman is a neces-
sity to a good man, and as the years
pass the necessity is increased. The
wifeless men between thirty and fifty
years are in more trouble and cause
more trouble to their friends than
married men. Woman is an anchor
and the home is a refuge. The hotel,
club, restaurant and the saloon, which
are the headquarters for the majority
of wifeless men, are not elevating."
DR.. Lantry said his wife was jealous
of his female patients. This she
denied. Mrs. Lantry left her husband
alleging cruelty. They were told to
go home together and come to court
again June 10 and tell how they got
on.

al Cause of Jumbo Adams
Crime.

Mount Vernon, ILL.,, June 1.-Jum-
bo Adams, who is serving a twenty
year term in the Southern Illinois pen
itentiary for killing Charles Jones,
may be pardoned through the efforts
of Queen Mary of England.
Adams was a pearl fisher. One day
while his workmen in boats on the
Wabash river we're opening clam
shells in search of pearls, one Of the
men found an unusually beautiful and
large gem and slipped 1t into his pock-
ct. Adams asked for the pearl and
the accused man STACKED Adams with
knife. Adams pulled revolver and
killed his assailant.
The gem was recovered and the pro
ceeds were used to defend Adams. A
New York pearl buyer bought the
stone for $1,000 and sold it to Lon
don jeweler, who later disposed of II
to the royal family, and now the pear
is the centre jewel in the Queens
necklace. She has learned the story
of the pearl and has been in communi
cation with Adams lawyer. and th'
tone of her letter indicates that sh'
will aid In securing his pardon.

Attracts Nationwide Attention.

Washington, June mo one incl
dent of the entire pre-convention cam
paign has attracted more attention
than did the powerful editorial decla-
ration of the New York World In fav-
or of the nomination of Gov. Wood
row Wilson at the Baltimore Conven-
tion. The editorial was discussed at
the capitol, who recognized In 1t the
most powerful appeal that has been
made in favor of the nomination OF
any of the Democratic candidates for
the presidency.
Party leaders have come to a reali-
zation of the fact that Gov. Wilson ia
the candidate whose nomination at
Baltimore will mean certain success.
The vote in Ohio, where Gov. Wilson
was given an almost even break with
Gov. Harmon in the election Of dis
trict delegates. started the tide in the
direction of Gov. Wilson. Then came
victories In Texas, the biggest Demo-
cratic state in the nation; in New
Jersey, the most promising Demo
cratic state in the East, and in Min
nesota, a state which Republicans
admit would give Gov. Wilson its cleo
toral vote over any man that can be
nominated at Chicago.
Gov. Wilson's strength In every
section of the country has been well
demonstrated, but, as The World 50
clearly points out, he is the one Dem
ocrat who can appeal to the independ
: ent voters in Eastern states like New
4 York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
g Maine, whose support is ESSENTIAL t.

Millions Of Dollars Lost Annually
From Sowing Wheat Of Unknown
Vitality.
By l. NJ. Smith, President Seed Trade
Reporting Bureau.

National Crop Improvement service.1
There are millions Of dollars lost
annually from sowing wheat Of un'
known vitality.
Scientists throughout the country.
both state and national. have spent a
great deal OF time and money in the
introduction and breeding Of cereals
suitable to the various climates Of the
United States. However. the under.
lying factor In crop production-that
Of vitality-has been sadly neglected
While a high vitality Of seed grain Is
desirable, yet, It Ia not always OBJ
tainable. and the only way to counter
act the low vitality. and obtain a max
imum outturn, Is by increasing the
amount Of seed sown according to Its
disability to grow
How Grain 10 Damaged.
There are many factors which in
huence and destroy vitality. Probably
the most common are immaturtty.
heat or weather damage.
II Is also a well known fact that II
b impossible to get anyone lot OF
grain absolutely free from some Of
these defects; consequently few lots
OF seed, green whom tested for germi-
nation, will grow 100 per cent II
certain lot OF wheat be sown under
ordinary conditions which tests only
80 per cent. 1t means only so per cent
OF a crop can possibly be produced.
II this same wheat Ia tested before
sowing and found to grow only 80
per cent, then twice as much seed
should be sown. and maximum out
turn could be expected.
Canada has an excellent system Of
inspecting and testing seed grain. un-
der which arrangement It is expected
the yields Of grain will be materially
increased and maximum crop pro-
duction obtained.
