HOW TO DEAL WITH REcREANT
HUSBANDS

After twelve years of personal con-
tact with this problem, have formed
a positive opinion as to how We can
best deal with the wife deserter and
recreant husband. 1t is simply this:
| After all efforts on the part of the
| wife, relatives, church and social or
CARNATIONS have failed to make the
deserter feel his responsibility to his
family and perform it, the deserter
should be compelled by law to carry
his responsibility to his family To
by the state, county or municipality,
to find out where the deserter is, and
bring him back to the locality in
which the family are living The ex-
penses of prosecution should be borne
also by public funds, and if convicted,
| the deserter should be committed to
work-house or farm provided either
by the state or county, and compelled
to work-his labor to command a
compensation from which should be
deducted the actual expense of his
keeping, the balance to be paid in
weekly installments to his wife and
family. | would suggest that the first
commitment be for one year, provid-
ed at the end of that time the court
could be reasonably assured that the
6n onto yxy0C DIV tn rnf out nd
support his family outside of the
work-house or farm, but that the
court retain legal supervision of the
man for a second year, collect his
wages, and supervise the family rela-
tionship, to the end that the man
would not Immediately escape and put
the state to the expense of his return
on a similar charge. The court could
appoint special parole officer for a
given number of families, who could
report back to the court as to whether
the deserter was doing his duty or not,
and recommend the final discharge of
such men who for a year at least had
properly borne their responsibilities
to their families. For a second Of
tense the period of commitment
should be doubled, also the period of
parole, and a third offense should re-
suit in ten year commitment at
least.
That the arrangement l have sug-
gested is not in accordance with our
state constitution should not, in my
mind, deter us in securing the legis-
lation if our cause be right; in fact,
it should result in the change of our
state constitution in this regard

Two PEOPLE IN a STORE

Have yen ever observed the actions
of a man and woman in storel
II not, you still have something to
learn.
We spent a few minutes in one oil
our stores yesterday and this is what
we saw:
A man from Anthony strolled In,
greeted the proprietor with a breezy
Hello" remarked about the hot
weather, drought, crop prospects and
few other unimportant matters, and
eventually remembered that he want
ed a handkerchief; took the first one
handed him, tossed a dollar on the
counter, showed the change into his
pocket without counting, and leisure
ly walked out the store into the
street.
Ten minutes later a woman walked
briskly in, handed the clerk a smil-
ing good morning" and promptly
requested to be shown thus-and-so.
She picked it up, felt of it, held it up
to the light, twisted it, turned it over,
examined it from every vantage point,
considered the price-and rejected It,.
1t was not just what she was looking
for.
Did the clerk have something else?
He did. Three different something's
were shown her without any better
result. Then the light of the world
returned to her first love, tested it,
fondled it, caressed it, and told the
clerk she guessed 1t would do,
wanted"
She paid for it, counted her change
carefully, let her eyes roam over the
store, took note of numerous things
she wanted later on, and departed
with a fund of information stored up
for her next visit.
Women are born shoppers.

THEY ALL SAY 1T

Mr.. Knott, avowed candidate fol

other day and the Metropolis said OF
him that "in discussing his candidacy
he stated he was receiving assurances
of support from every part of the

have doubtless come down to us
from a former generation of candi.

nearly every man seeking state or fed.

probably unfold a tale that would
take all the comfort out of them as
bracers for an officeseeker, for they
were prime favorite with him dur.

There is a fatality connected with
these words that should warn all can

Automobile companies may boycott

Since January l of this year the
Pennsylvania Railroad has sold al
least 100 pieces of real estate for ap-
proximateIy $1,OO0,00O. The company
has decided to sell all parcels not
used for railroad purposes.
The Georgia peach crop now is be-
ing moved, and the Southern Railway
is running special trains nightly from
Atlanta to markets north. Peaches
are said to be better this year than
for the past few years.
The valley Pipe Line mas aWarueu
to Sanderson and Porter of New York
a contract for the entire installation
of a pipe line to transport oil from
San Joaquin oil fields to tide water.
Valley Pipe Line is a subsidy of Roy
al Dutch Shell interests and the new
line will be ITS feet long.
Although buying of freight cars has
been on more liberal scale during
the past month, orders for passenger
coaches and motive power shows a
falling off. The big railroads of the
country evidently have been awaiting
the freight rate decision before max
ing their equipment commitments.
The current business of the St
Paul shows improvement tendencies,
and as evidence of this trend toward
larger earnings the car loadings of
the last three months may be cited.
In April the loadings were per cent.
lower than last year, in May the de-
crease was 6 per cent, while in June
loadings were 31iy per cent. OF
