COUPLE SILENT
FOR IL YEARS
STORY OF REMARKABLE QUAR-
REL BETWEEN NEW YORK
MAN AND WOMAN TOLD IN
COURT,

New York City.-The story of
eleven years of married life, during
which not a word was exchanged be-
tween husband and wife, is told in
papers on file here in a separation
suit in the state supreme court. The
pair, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Mintz were
married in 1884.
For thirteen years they lived hap
PLY together with their four children.
Eleven years ago they quarreled. The
dispute was over some trivial mat
ter, it is said, but the wife said that
she never would address another
word to her husband SO long as she
lived. He said that the arrangement
was satisfactory to him. Mrs. Mintz
says that both adhered to the agree
ment. Seven years ago their daugh-
ter, Dorothy, died, but even at the
funeral service the vow of silence
was not broken. Mr.. Mintz is now
seeking a separation.

MILK DIRECT
FROM H HAY
MILWAUKEE COMPANY CLAIMS
TO MAKE 1T WITHOUT AID
OF BOSSY-AND BETTER.

Milwaukee,, Wis.-Milk made di-
rect from hay by a scientific process,
which is clways sweet and never
sours, has been discovered by the
Milwaukee Synthosis Company, it
claims. 1t is declared that this milk
has all the qualities of the milk from
a COW, but the manne OF making eX-
cludes certain germs, which prevents
souring.
The concern making the milk,
which is lone under a chemical pro-
cess transmutes timothy hay into
milk, without its passing through the
stomach o. the COW.
The milk does not differ in the
slightest from cows milk, it is said.
In fact, it is claimed that it is absol-
utely identical with the exception of
bacteria, which is in regular COWS
milk.
This hay-made milk does not need
to be ~pasteurized to keep it, the
company declares.

MOVING PICTURE AS
GIVEN BY Y. NJ. C. A

Aberdeen, S. Dan attempt of a
moving picture house at Pierre TO
give Sunday performances has
aroused considerable interest over
the state, owing to the protest of the
ministers of the various churches
against the performances. There is
ii state law prohibiting the giving OF
Sunday performances of any theatre
cal play or moving pictures where an
admission fee is charged, but in
Aberdeen the Young 'Women's Chris
tian association has rented the Idle
Hour theatre for Sunday afternoons,
and give two performances each Sun
day afternoon to capacity houses. No
admission fee is charged but "A col
lection is taken. Purely religious
subjects are shown, such as Pill
grim's Progress the Holy City"
etc, and so far the ministers of the
city have made no objection to the
plant.

honor guestas, each bringing reports
that proved the activity of their own
corps. TWO new members were initit-

membership up to 1855. 1t was decided
by motion that a box of chair cush-
ions, head rests, and other useful
articles be sent to the Soldiers home
as a Christmas remembrance. AT the
close of the meeting Mrs. Hereford
gave some very helpful and kindly re-
marks. She had few criticisms to offer

A~BOLISHING THE COW.
XIX

A Milwaukee concern has announc-
ed the discovery Of a process by
which TO make milk from hay without
the intervening agency of a COW.
If we are to believe this. then we
are TO bid goodbye 20 bossy, as an
altogether ~antiquated creature. Under
the Milwaukee plan, when we want
a bucket of milk, we will go to the
barn and pitch down a pile of hay.
Then, by feeding the hay into what
ever the %contraption is, we will OBJ
tain the very finest fresh milk"
What is MORE, the hay wouldn't
kick over the bucket, put its foot on
the owners foot or lash it's tail into
the mixers eyes. Presumably there
would be II kind of hay that would
produce Jersey milk and another
would turn Out Ia HolStein variety,
Whether the process is capable of
putting out ordinary dairy milk with
out the assistance OF the faucet is not
made clear at this time.
What if the elimination of the COW
does make dairying less romantic. An
automobile won't rub it's ose against
you, and yet it is a more efficient
means of conveyance than is a horse.
When you are milking hay, you won't
hear the munching of "Old Spot" or
the swish, swish'' of the broad
streams of white against the sides OF
your bucket. And YOU wouldn't have
the chance TO turn around, lean your
back against the contented animal,
brush aside the snowy foam and slalte
warm and creamy bounty, in delight
full forgetfulness of conventionalities
and orders. But then, the world must
jog along. If the COW is TO become
a~nachronistic. We might as least have
a better chance of knowing where
u milk comes from.

Monday in December and the session
must close at midnight March 3rd.
Taking out Sundays and holidays and
the days set aside for special purpo-
SEES, there remains, as the speaker
has said. only 26 days that may be
spent on the matter OF appropriations.
This means, Of course, that the short
session is useless except for the pur-
pose of passing necessary supply bills
and that it is really inadequate for
that task.
BY all means the inaugural date
should be changed from March 4tll
until late in April or early in May.
That it has not been so deferred lone
before this is due to the rigidity OF
the constitution and is another illus
tration of the fact that the constitu-
ton acts as a handicap rather than a
help to the American people in their
task Of governing themselves.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1912-12-05

President-elect Wilson desires to
bring about a reform on the very
first day of his administration. He
wants to abolish, or rather, postpone,
the inaugural ceremonies usually nc
companying the oath of office by a
new president. For many years there
has been general agreement that the
inaugural should be fixed for a later
date than March 4th, primarily be-
cause of the bad weather that fire.
quently occurs on that date. Looking
back over the last three decades, we
find that when Hayes was inaugural
Led in 1877, it was extremely warm;
Garfield, in 1881, snow and rain:
Cleveland, in 1885, moderate temper-
ature and blue skies; Harrison. in
1889, steady downpour of rain;
Cleveland, in 1898, rain and snow;
Mckinley in 1897, warm and bright.
Mckinley in 1901, rain, hail and
sleet; Roosevelt in 1905, mild but
cloudy, Taft, in 1909, severe snow
storm.
Thus, five of the last nine inaug-
urals have taken place under very
bad weather conditions. 1t is impos-
sible to house an inaugural ceremony
and carry it out upon the large scale
that is required if it is to be a dem
ocratic occasion. Therefore those i'm
charge and those who attend must
expect, so long as the oc-
ours on March 4th, that intolerable
weather is more likely to occur than
not, and that it will mar the eXer-
cises because they must be held out
of doors.
Now what Gov. Wilson proposes is
to postpone the inaugural ceremonies
until the last Thursday in April. He
would take his oath of office on
March 4th, but without any sort of
exercises. This is an exceedingly sim
pie method of circumventing the
weather difficulties of the usual in
augural and ought to be generally
