PRACTICES OF DIVORCE

Judges and Lawyers Responsible for

at St Patrick's.

Declaring that the United States leads
the civilized world in divorce statistics,
and that the alarming increase Of d.
vorces throughout the country is causing
statesmen to look for remedy, the
Rev. Bertrand L. Conway, C. s. p, last
night delivered lecture on Marriage
and Divorce" at a>non-Catholic meeting
in ST. Patrick's Church.

way, ARE viewing with increasing amaze
ment the progress of divorce in our
country. II a man living in the State
of New York." said the preacher, wishes
to obtain a divorce from his wife, and is
without cause that would enable him to
successfully present his case in q New
York court, he has simply 10 move to
another State-for example, to Nevada
where he will have little difficulty in ac-
complishing his purpose. This is being
done day in and day out.
MANY live happily together for three
or four years. and then one or the other
of the parties becomes tired of the con-
tract. The wife feels a great need of
sympathy. Then appears the third party,
the man who is always prepared to SYM
pathize with an apparently neglected
wife. We know the old story of the
wife falling in love with the wretch
whose expressions Of sympathy cause
her to turn away from her husband"
Father Conway scored in vigorous terms
the methods resorted to frequently, with
the knowledge of the courts, in obtaining
divorces. He said that he knew of cases
in which parties had brought about d.
vorces Dy arranging matters in advance
with judges before whom their cases
would be tried. He denounced the meth
DDS which, he declared, were practiced
by many lawyers, Of urging men and
women to a violation Of the marital vow,
with a prearranged detection by wit
nesses, for the purpose of obtaining a
divorce under the laws Of many Of the
large States.

GRAIN AWARDS

GIVEN PRIZE WAS A NEW
t.r. VARIETY,

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept &C.
Holmes of Kensal, N. D. was over
come by heat yesterday afternoon at
the fair grounds. He will recover.
: The first award and the grand prize
for. Minnesota's most famous product,
wheat, went to John Henderson, Co.
kato, Wright county.
His exhibit was taken from a field
Of four and one-half acres, and was
said by. members of the state grain in
spector.s qtttce to be the finest -four
wheatssfh they ever saw, The same man
won the sweepstakes in oats.
The wheat that won the prize is a
new variety discovered by the Can
ad1an experimental station and is a
cross between the fife and velvet chaff
varieties. In addition to being a
beautiful color and shape, and it is
said to contain more -four than any
variety offered it ripens ten days be-
fore other varieties and therefore es-
capes rust.
B. c. Gray of Rochester, won the
first prize for fax.
The first prize in corn at the state
fair was awarded to G. b. Wells of
Pine City, and after an appeal, the
jury had spent the entire day in con-
sidering the eligibility of ,thes entry as
Minnesota corn type. Wells entries
were both for single ear and ten ears
were disqualified by the first jury, of
which Prof. r. A: Moore of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin was head, on
the ground that the corn exhibited
will not mature generally in Minneso-
ia under average conditions.
Corn breeders protested that it
would be of no use to enter at the
state fair in competition with grain
which, they declared, must have been
grown under exceptional conditions,
and the judges considered the protest
justified. Receiving no place in the
scores, Wells filed formal objection
with the board of managers, who or
dered the individual corn competition
re-judged. Prof. James Atkinson,
formerly of Ames Agricultural college,
w. Glotfelter, late president Of the
Minnesota Agricultural society and
Thomas Cooper, director of the North
Dakota Better Farming association,
after. securing the country, were finally
obtained as judges.

ENJOYED A NOVEL hEx-
PERIENCE,

Woodworth, N. D.. Sept. 6.-Some
fifteen charming school marms were
passengers on the westbound, train
which was wrecked four miles west of
town last Saturday afternoon. They
perhaps for the first time, had the
novel experience of travelling as the
hobo does, via the side door pullman.
AS soon as the trainmen found out
that it would take some time to get
the wreck cleared up, they got busy
and cleaned out a couple of the empty
cars, and the school marms. together
with the other passengers, were load
ed in the cars and taken to Pettibone,
and were there transferred again onto
the weed burner and taken through to
Wilton. Most of the teachers were
from Iowa and Illinois and were en-
route to towns along this line to be-
gin teaching According to all reports
the excitement of riding in a side
door pullman was great sport for
them, and they will have bushcl OF
news to write home to the folks re-
garding the grand time they had en-
route to their various Schoo1s.
