yoke"
In these words Mrs. John Van AL
styne, wife of a st. Joseph, Mo-, capt
talist, who came here In June to un-
that she intends to seek a

Van Alstyne are to meet in the Antlers
hotel, Colorado Springs, December 2
and there arrangements will be made
to bring the divorce action. This

years ago.

and his wife has no idea of what his
feelings are in the matter. for. under
the agreement. they We're not to COM
municate with each other either by
correspondence or through friends.

Mrs. Van Alstyne.
Love would not unite us. The old
saying, Absence makes the heart grow
fonder,' failed in our case, at least, sc
far as | am concerned.
No. there is no other man. I hayc

There was cruelty or unkind-
ness from my husband in u married
life but we came TO a full realization
that we We're not suited for each
other. that we had ceased to love, and
our marriage only was a mockery.''

good roads we will have fewer ana

and education go hand in hand. In
New England, where good roads have
been built extensively in the last few
years, the ratio of illiterarcy is small.
In states Where but few good roads
have been built, the illiteracy ratio is
higher. In many localities in this
state it is absolutely impossible fol-
the children to attend school when the
weather is-bad becaus the roads are
