The Rustic by Nowood, record
2 1922 by Nutwood. Dam Olive Leaf
by Allie Wilkes.
A beautiful bay horse of large
bone and great muscle, stands Is
hands and 3 inches high, and weighs
1850 pounds.
In this young horse we find COM
bined the best speed blood in the
world; Nowood is yet a young horse,
and his record as sire is far from
completed. Nutwood stands at the
head of all sires that have sired
dams of 2:10 performers, and fourth
of all sires whose sons have more
than 500 in the 2:30 list, having 1910
to his credit.
Allie Wilkes, just as famous as
Nutwood, being sire of Carl Wilkes,
record 2:0412 and Phalla 2:O4h
and a great many others too numer-
Gus to mention.
This is the young horse that es-
tablished such good reputation
among all horsemen while owned by
O. E. Philips of Paynesville, and Gre
ated an extensive business demand
ing a service fee of $25.
This is the horse that sent one of
his three year old colts to Chippewa
Falls, WIS.,, a hot bed for fast horses
and she beat everything in her class,
and this is the horse we offer to this
vicinity at the reduced fee Of $15.
Will make regular stands al

SOCIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE.
FAMILY AND HOME.-7
(By P. NJ Magnuson, Phi. d.

overworked cause is desertion, for
it is SO easy to arrange and it is not
so ugly Of sound as some other
grounds. Though desertion by agree
ment is not recognized by law as
valid grounds for divorce, the con-
nivance is practically safe from de-
tention. The reason why some states,
like Nevada have achieved such no.
toriety as places for divorce colon
les is that these states make the per-
iod Of desertion necessary to secure
a divorce, short, usually only six
months. while in most states it is
two years.
1t will clarity our ideas immensely
to note that the vital point at issue
in divorce is the right to remarry.
Neither the Catholic church nor any
one else insists that people should
live together if both parties wish to
separate and the children are pro-
perly provided for. This limited d.
vorce, a mensa ct thoro, is permitted
by the Church and is not opposed by
the State.
Socially the great objection to d.
vorce is that if marriages become
soluble at will, the proper care and
education Of children becomes an i'm
possibility. And if divorces are made
easy the number of i'll assorted and
unhappy marriages will increase, be-
cause the contraction parties know
they can easily get out of it; an6
this will increase the number Of di.
vorces enormously. Hence to pre-.
vent hasty and i'll assorted marriage:
and to prevent the necessity Of fire.
quent divorces, divorce should b.
made difficult Of attainment.
Those who would make divorce i'm
possible argue that this is no un
reasonable hardship on those un
happily married. If the marriag
bonds are truly uncomfortable, let tn
unhappy couple separate, by al
means, but let them refrain iron
marrying again. This they argue i
not an unreasonable demand Of so
ciety. There are many other situa
tons in life where we are given bu
one chance and where we must abid
by the result of our one choice
Strange, isn't it though, that unhap
PLY married people so universally in
sist with just as much strenuosit
on getting an opportunity to try
again as they demand the chance t
escape their first choice. This goe
far towards proving that marriage
emphatically not failure.

Another proposition is to allow the
innocent partyif there is one-to.
marry again, but to forbid the guilty
party. No person should have the OPP.
portunity to wreck more than one
home. 81.
Still another proposition is to for
bid the divorced to marry within a
certain period Of time after the di-
vorce., Many homes are wrecked by
the intrusion Of a third party, who
supplants the spouse in the affec-
tons of his partner. Such a law
would make it impossible for such a
person to gain his ends legally with
in what he is likely to consider rea-
sonable time.
"THE UNWRITTEN LAW"
The husbands first duty is to de-
fend his wife's honor. The unani-
nous consensus Of civilized society
is that in so doing he may go to any
length. Even homicide is justifable.
But Furnishing a seducer is not de-
Tending a woman's honor. If she is
seduced her honor is lost and there
is nothing to defend. However,
when a husband armed with a shoot
ing iron, discovers his unfaithful
wife and her paramour in acte fla
gante, we are scarcely surprised if
the gun goes off and kills the seduc-
er. Where the punishment for MUIR
der is death, most juries will feel
that it would be an outrage to exc
cute the husband for Kidding the
world Of a lecherous wretch, and so
they return verdict of mot guilty"
Thus during the last few years the
"unwritten law" has been establish
ed that a husband may avenge him
self on his wife's partner in adultery,
by killing him, and not only go scot
free before the law, but be made a
hero of by the thoughtless masses
The law has as consequence been
applied far beyond it's original limits.
In many states a jealous husband
may with impunity deliberately plan
and carry out the assassination Of the
man he believes has supplanted him
in his wife's affections, and if his
wife only will confess in open court
that she has had improper relations
with the murdered man, the murder
er will be triumphantly declared mot
guilty."
Thus while in Minnesota capital
punishment is abolished by the leg
islature, the courts have by adopting
the unwritten law to it's fullest ex-
tent, established capital punishment
as punishment for adultery and have
made the offended husband judge,
jury and executioner by an absolute
divine right that even a Henry VIII
might envy.
That this condition Of affairs is
intolerable ought to be patent to
everyone. A reform must come, and
the sooner we return to sanity in
this matter, the better for us. The
longer reaction is delayed, the
more violent it is, and the farther
will the pendulum swing. in excess
on the other side. And woe unto
him on whom the reaction falls! ,

DIVORCE.

The marriage tie is intended to be
permanent "until death do you part"
but in our day the prevalence Of di-
vorce bids fair to reduce these words
to a farce.
In the Roman Catholic church
marriage is q sacrament, and its
bonds absolutely indissoluble. Hence
divorce is not permitted under any
circumstance.
The most conservative portion Of
the Episcopal church (and Church
Of England) takes the same position.
Others in this church take the posi-
ton that, because Of Christ's words
in Matt. 5:32, divorce is allowable,
i'll case Of adultery by the wife, but
not in any other case, not even when
the husband has committed this sin.
The position of the church as a whole
is that divorce is allowable only for
scriptural cause, i. e., adultery,
whether by the husband or wife.
This is the position of all the
more conservative professionals. All
religious denominations unite in pro-
testing against the prevalence Of d.
vorce, and are adverse to it's grant,
ing except for the most serious rea-
sons.
The various governments in the
world take fully as divergent views
of the subject as do the churches.
The tendency during the last century
has however, been in general to
grant divorces more freely than in
the past. In England up to the pres
ent, divorces have been very hard
to get. Only one judge and one court
in all the land could grant divorces
This made divorce a prerogative OF
the rich as the expenses were very
great. Just at present England is re.
vising it's divorce laws.
In the United States the various
Jurisdictions show quite as great di.
vergences. South Carolina takes
same position as the Roman Catholic
church. Divorce is not possible. TIL
great state Of New York is very con
sentative, permitting divorce To-
"scriptural" cause only. This is re
markable when one considers VIVA
q numerous class Of the idle rich ar
found in the Imperial State, an,
what an epidemic Of divorce flour
ishes among them.
Other states are certainly liberia
enough. In some states even incom
patibility Of temper is suficien
grounds for divorce. But the fairl
