New Cause for Divorce.

Why is divorce? There's a question
capable of puzzling most of US, don't
you think? OF course, some of us can
answer 1t In a single sentence or two.
More of us require large volumes to
contain a full reply. And when we
get them written some one Is sure to
supply a fresh cause for divorce. Take
the case Of that of New York man
who is demanding the dissolution Of
the marriage tie because his wife put
soap In his soup. He has added some
what to the literature of divorce. And
he has revealed a new form of cru
city. Soap as an article of diet Is not
to be highly regarded. BY most per
sons It Ia considered not only offens-
I've but dangerous. And, what IL more,
the average man probably feels that
he eats enough soap In the barber
shop to satisfy his needs. Any added
by his wife Is likely to be regarded
- superfluous and to arouse q peev-
ishness that may not easily be stilled.

Some Of the most discouraging hand
leaps that could possibly be saddled
upon q cooperative enterprise have
been carried by the Calumet (Mich.)
undertaking from its inception, but in
spite of this burden its dividends for
the year 1912 were $103,947; its sales
were $S45,930; its reserve in bank was
$1S.724; and 1t has paid out since its
organization a total of $1.144.0O6 in
dividends to its owners. who constitute
the main body of its patrons. Its paid
up capital stock is $6S,180 and it has
sos, 600 insurance In force. Its actual
assets today are three ami one-half
times its paid in capital xhd it has
1874 shareholders. Measured by any
standard of retail bookkeeping. this
Is an example of success that Is allur-

What interested the mining COM
pany in the venture was that they
found that increased wages were swal-
lowed up by stores raising their prices
and that the men and their families
were no better fed than formerly. The
same officers who helped the men Co
operate on trading were those who
had brought together the 10 or II
races. so that they should not combine
in strikes, and this policy has been
successful. Robert w Bennett, from
Northumberland. England. had already
16 years experience in cooperation

had no more purchasing capacity. and
he started the movement.

The most of us find that our lot In

If you cannot successfully employ
your fathers method in farming
make change and try new one.

wife's hat as her friends see it, the
milliners would do more business.
This is now a good time to regret

avoid repetition of them next year.
During a hard winter the section
north of the Mason and Dixon line
may be counted upon for a bumper
crop of chilblains.
Raising a crop of domestic good

that some people are literally too lazy

are at your failure to put an en-
circling barrier of wire screen and
