Burnett Rantoul, a granddaughter of
Poet Lowell, sued her husband for
divorce because of a disagreement
brought on by her acknowledge
ment to him that she loved Chester
G. Rumrill, wealthy yachtsman of
Boston and New York. The love she
felt for Mr. Rumrill was, however
purely mind love- Mrs. Rantoul de-
clared.
wonder if there really is such a
thing as mind love between a man
and a woman?
Only human beings who shut their
eyes to the obvious truth can deny
that a married man may find women
other than his wife Intellectually
stimulating and that the most de-
voted housewife and mother is men
tally benefited by intellectual friend
ship with other men,
The pail of Puritanism lay over the
United States so long that it is only
within the last 20 years that the mar
ried woman in America has been con-
ceded the right to be more attractive
than the lady of old Japan who
shaved her eyebrows and blackened
her teeth as soon as she became a
wife.
A great free wind of. sanity and
common sense is blowing over this
shabby suspiciousness and more and
more people are realizing that mar
rage need not mean the paralysis of
a woman's mind and petrifcation of
her human sympathies.
We are beginning to understand
that every man or woman is the bet
ter for contact with other minds
more minds the better. But need this
contact lead to mind love-? And
may woman entertain the feeling of
mind love for a man other than her
husband without disloyalty?
think in any case of mind love,
platonic love or whatever you choose

Association and the annual Corn
and Grain Show and School CON
Quoted Herewith will be held in
Mitchell S. ID. Jan. q to 3lst 1914.
This meeting will be especially
attractive because it is arranged to
hold a union meeting of the sever
al genuine farmers organizations
of the state at this time and place.
The S. y. Corn and Grain Grow
ers, live stock breeders. poultry
men, and hosticulturists, have all
arranged to meet i'm Mitchell. The
sessions of each organization will
be to some extent independent of
each other, but the evening meet
ings. which are somewhat more
general in character, are arranged
as union meetings.
On Wed. and Thursday after
moons the Corn Growers will ssu-
pend their program entirely, so
that everyone can attend the live
stock sale at the pavilion.
This is to be a big meeting and
:. most fortunate chance for every
real farmer in South Dakota to see
every other real farmer and to sec
and hear the big people in agricul-
ture. You have heard of Hopkins
and Sam Jordan. Barring sick
ness or accident, they will abso-
lutely be on the platform according
to the program.
There is not space in this short
notice to publish the program.
Send for copy of the Corn and
Grain Growers program and pre-
mium list. Get in line early by
sending your membership fee of
one dollar for the corn and grain
growers association. The mem
bership fee covers all corn and
grain entries for premiums under
the rules. A. N. HUME, Secty

The Press is receiving every
week copy of new periodical
entitled ''Weekly News Letter to
Crop Correspondents y issued by
authority of the Sect'y of Agricul-
ture. Part of the contents of a
recent issue was an article on Good
Roads, which shows the wide vari-
ETY. of subjects treated. 1t is now
a modest folio, two columns to
page 1Ox12 inches. but there is no
telling what it will yet become, for
your Uncle Sam is undoubtedly
the greatest and biggest publisher
on earth.
In this line, The Press is also re-
ceiving the weekly press bulletins

Editor A. q. Beaudoin, of the
Lebanon Independent, gives his
experience with the Compass
cherry, y,-the same, we believe, that
Mr.. Grant Orsborn has found
adapted to this ciimate-in the last
issue of the Independent, in the
following languages:
II have tested the Compass
cherry along with six or seven va
rieties of tame plums, and while
the plums proved failure, the
cherries proved to be very hardy
and began bearing the second year
after they were set out. The fruit
is of an excellent quality.
1.-The Compass cherry trees have
proven to be harder than the ma
tive wild plum here on my place in
Lebanon and bear much more
fruit. Ii you want quick returns
for your time and money, put out
some Compass cherry trees.
have also raised currants ano
gooseberries successfully with but
little labor.
'Eyery person who owns 9
home in this part of the state
could have good supply of fruit
if they woald put out some o1
these hardy varieties, and give
them good care, which would take
but little time if they are set il
rows wide enough apart SO they
can be cultivated with horse"

OFFICER WOUNDED
IN MAKING ARREST

Atlanta, May 30-Surgeons who
sewed up the cash extending from
Detective John Blacks ear to his
chin declare that the officer escap-
ed death only by a hairsbreadth.
If the slash made at him by the
negro Will Wilson whom he ar
rested after desperate fight on
Decatur street had been a fraction
of an inch lower it would have got
b. ia the wlndpipe and the jugular
vein. AS it was it simply laid open
his cheek across the jawbone.
The negro is wanted for the
killing Of H. Wolfe a merchant
who was shot to death while try
ING to protect his store from rob-
berry some time time ago. After
Black was cut, other officers had
to cIuD the negro toto unconscious
ness before he ceased fighting.

Rural Telephones Great
Help to Farmers

Atlanta, May 30-Rural teIe-
phones are beginning to play just
as important If not more impor-
tant part than either rural free
delivery or parcels post, in iput-
ting the farmer on an economic
equality with the city business
man.
The growth of rural telephones
on the lines of the Southern Bell
throughout Georgia and other
southern states is as interesting as
a romance. A generation ago the
average farmer was isolated. To-
day he is no more isolated that his
city neighbors.
1t is directly as the result of
these facilities that the average
southern farmer has developed in
to a competent business man, a
salesman of his own products, as
well as producer of them.
The day has passed forever
when the farmer laboriously loads
his crops on wagons and takes
them to the county seat and then
either sells them or not at prices
which may or NAV not be below
normal. Today the farmer with a
telephone uses the wires to two or
three towns before deciding where
he will market bis wares, and of
ten makes the actual sales over the
wires before he even starts to load
his wagons.

today by the local clearing house
monthly report,
Clearings for May this year

The clearings that week were the
largest in the history of the city.
