That's the report of the social
workers of the Kansas City board of
public welfare.
Twenty per cent of the divorces in
Jackson county are the result of
these one-man boarding houses. the

divorce court-unless the coroner's
services happen to be required.
"A smooth tongued boarder soon
can win his way into the affections
of many women" said Mrs. Anna
Cunningham, chief investigator for
the department of social relations.
He usually makes himself helpful
about the house, pats the wife on the
back, admires her neck boa, and tells
her that her husband doesn't appre-
ciate her. The old man spends his
time earning a living for the family
and the boarder puts in his spare
time counting his wife. One thing

GOV. BYRNE
CALLS UPON THE STATE TO DO
HONOR TO THE GRAND
ARMY. i.

Pierre, May 25.-Gov. Byrne has
issued the following Memorial Day
proclamation:
"Once more by the cycle of the
seasons we are well advanced into
again come near the close or our
beautiful memorial month of May,
the 30th day of which, by a wise en-
actment of our state legislative as
sembly, is designated and set aside
as Memorial Day and co~nsecrated to
the cherished memory of those brave
men who with submlime courage
gave their all in defense of the ma
ton in her times of peril.
LAS years follow years, we but
better realize how deep is the debt
of gratitude we owe those who with
fortitude, patience and heroic sacri-
fees. followed the flag to victory and
prompt to avail ourselves of the OPP
portunity to pay fitting tribute to
these soldiers who offered their lives
on the country's altar, that we might
enjoy a continuance of the liberties
and prosperity of this great republic.
The work of the Grand Army is
almost finished. Its history is writ
ten, its record made; but enduring
recognition of the services of its vet
Grams has been, and will continue to
be conspicuous throughout the gen
erations, as long as Americans shall
live. Their indelible imprint is upon
our national life, and through their
example, in peace as in war, our citi-
zenship is constantly receiving new
inspiration, a broader aspiration and
a profound regard for the principles
and institutions of our government.
Let the coming Memorial Day,
therefore, be dedicated to solemn re
ligious and patriotic services, entire
ly free from all games, sports and the
lighter a~musements, and on this day
let every citizen lend his assistance
and encouragement in making its OBJ
servance worthy of the occasion and
in harmonious keeping with it's ex-
allied sentiments and sacred recollec-
TONS"

of medicine and surgery and a noted
neurologist, who testified that he had
examined Won Walden's head in the
Icounty Jail.

pert. Il found several sears. His
ears are misshapen, a stigmata OF in
~ltellectual insufficiency. Pressure OF
the bone on the brain would be like
lily to impair his mentality and judg-
ment."
Won Walden could be medically in
sane. according to DR.. Ives, without
being legally insane-which means
far enough out of his mind to be

PROSPECTS ARE EXCELLENT.

Grand Forks, N. D., May ia
spirit of optimism in North Dakota
is resulting because of the recent
rains, which, although they have de-
layed seeding to certain extent,
still are putting the ground in the
best of condition and will make a
record crop a possibility in North
Dakota. This fact is shown by ma
chinery shipments, which are most
satisfactory in so far as Grand Forks
machinery houses are concerned.
Railroad and commercial reports indi-
cate general satisfactory conditions
in practically every part of our state.
Thes spring rains assure the crop
through the first stages at least, and
with careful methods give assurance
of satisfactory production. The out
look at this time is excellent.
