The EST. Louis Plan" heretofore
described in this paper. is still be-
ing considered by the cotton states
or in the cotton states rather, and
it looks like the $150,0OO,0OO re-
quired for carrying it into effect
will be raised. That plan contem-
plates lending money upon cotton
at the valuation Of six cents pound
and storing the cotton in ware
houses, the object being to "retire"
100000 bales.
The South Carolina plan now un-
der consideration would retire only
half million bales, and would
therefore not materially affect the
price unless other cotton states join
ed in the plan.
So, taking one consideration with
another, it would not be wise to put
too much faith in any of the plans
proposed, for they all may fall
through from the lack of co-opera-
tion among enough Of the cotton
growing states to make any OF them
OF much value.

Why is a Divorce Suit?
LAWYERS Often TO Blame

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Feb. 13.-The
question, "Why Is a divorce suit!'
could be answered il one put 1t to
couple living on little farm near st.
Omer The answer would disclose
that in their opinion at least, d.
vorce suit is unnecessary many times,
and that it often is the result of over
active attorneys with fee in mind.
When Bertha A. Leech, formerly OF
Muncie,, married James r. Leech, she
promised to live with him on his farm,
though she was not used to farm life.
The monotony of the life wearied her
and fancied lack of interest on the
part Of Leech worried her. They de-
cided that for a time at least it would
be best for her to return home.
The day after this separation Leech
received a letter signed by his wife
1t was of such a nature that he de,
termined to get divorce. The suit
! was heard by Judge Blair, the equit
able judge of Shelby county. The let
ter written to the plaintiff was the
