Missouri Divorce Law Changes.

Missouri may have a change in
its laws calculated to check the
divorce evil. The St. Louis Bar AS
ISOLATION is working to that end
One change would forbid the re-
marrying of the defendant in a d.
vorce proceeding within a year
from the granting of the divorce.
Another proposal is to make the
complainant in a default case fur.
nish positive proof of good conduct,
the appointment of friend of the
court at a small fee to represent the
defendant, being a part of the
method of determining the limo
cence of the complainant.
These amendments might help
matters at least with respect to the
scandolous, hasty remarriages that
follow divorce, often with the
paramour where infdelity is the
charge. Then again it might not.
1t depends largely on how a com
munity regards the divorce evil.
Judges could do a lot toward limit
ing the divorce evil. The judge is
not Obliged to grant a divorce off
hand. He has it in his power to
delay the decree. with the object in
numerous cases of affecting recon.
citation. A little of the Solomon
might 90 quite a distance in the
way of curtailin5 the number of d.
vorces upon trivial grounds. In
stead of making divorce easy, the
judge should make it extremely
difficult-Sedalia Democrat.

How does that sound. Well,
that's what they have been having
in Texas. M. B. Proctor received a

a ten-inch rain fell there, besides
they had been having plenty of rain
before. The ten-inch rain washed
out fences. destroyed crops, etc.

Keep Up the Chinch Bug Fight.
BY Leonard Haseman.

BY Leonard t1aSeman.
The farmers of Missouri, while
busy fighting army worms and re-
planting where they have ruined
crops, should not lose sight of the
fact that this is ideal chinch bug
weather and where old bugs we're
abundant in wheat fields during
May there is danger that their
young will move into other crops
when the wheat is ripe and cut.
The past month has been busy
one for most Missouri farmers and
the month of June threatens to be
one equally as strenuous especially
where the chinch bug requires at
tention.
Comparatively few inquiries are
being received by the Missouri Col
leee of Agriculture just now, but
with the rush of other work, farm
ers are liable to overlook this pest.
1t is too late to fight the chinch bug
after it has left the wheat fields and
gone to other crops. Every farmer
should examine his wheat and if
the young, red and black bugs are
abundant he should plan to fight
the pest when it starts to migrate
between now and the last of the
month.
Most farmers are familiar with
the dust and chemical barriers. One
or more parallel bitches in which
log is dragged or a plowed strip
thoroughly worked will keep the
bugs back when it is dry. In rainy
weather dust barriers are impossi-
BILE so supply of tar, road oil, Gre
osote or crude carbolic.tacid should
be on hand. Either of these chem
icals when used to form a line will
help to keep the bugs back and pro-
tect crops.
Last year the chinch bug SEEM
inely reached its climax..as regards
abundance and injury and it is not
likely to do nearly so much injury
this year though we must be ready
for it should it threaten cultivated
crops this month. 1t is. hoped that
the weather will favor the spread of
the chinch bug disease so that it,
with mans help. may completely
stamp out the pest this summer.
The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture is ready to answer all inquiries
and to give such additional help as

He was awakened on the fourth

The painter nodded sleepily.

eating the private mail-box which

The weather-worn box yielded to

took out his letters. Among them
was one that made his heart beat
furiously. 1t was in Adela's hand
writing. 1t seemed as though his
longing had reached her in some
telepathic manner, and had been an
swered. Langwith hurried into the
house and tore open the envelope.
"You asked me to tell you if I
changed my mind" he read, "and l
have changed it. 1 cannot tell you
what it costs me to make this con-
fession, my dear, after the way in
which l treated you. But l always

In the gray twilight he went home,
beaten. He entered the garden de-
jectedly, worn out with, his emotion
and his frantic pacing of the street.
With head bent he passed up between
the flower beds, toward the house. A
shadow barred his entrance. He
looked up hopelessly-into Adela's
face.
She was standing before the door,
silent figure in cloak. She might
have been a wrath, so ethereal did
she look in the twilight. Langwith's
heart beat wildly; then he ran for

in his arms. No ghost was this, but
a woman of flesh and blood, warm to
