KENEFICK FOUR YEARS OLD.

Did you know that on last Tues
day, Feb. 8, Kenefick was four years
old?
Just four years ago where the city
now stands was a field of corn, but
how different today! A thousand
people or more housed in happy
homes, large and well equipped bus
mess houses have sprung UP as If
by magic, and that is not all, more
and more are being built Hardly
a day passes that does not see the
foundation of a new residence or
business house laid.
Kenefick is not going TO be great
city, but it is going to be a good
town of 5000 happy souls backed by
fertile farms and thrifty owners. and
the man who casts his lot among ou'
people now will have cause to re-
jolce in later years.--Kenefick Dis
patch.

w. S. Knight of this city received
news Saturday of the death of his
uncle. Gabriel A. Knight, which oc-
Cured in Dallas, Texas, Friday morn
ing. The telegram was sent to Den
ison, and Mrs. Knight forwarded the
same to Durant Owing to the fact
that Mr.. Knight did not receive the
telegram in time, he was unable to at
tend the funeral, which was held
Saturday. The Dallas News of Sat
urday. says:
Gabriel A. Knight. a pioneer citi-
zen of Dallas, Confederate soldier

seen in any part of the city.
Mr.. knight and his brothers ant
sisters grew up on the farm an'

schools. He worked on the farm
and attended the school in the log

DIVORCE IN CHICAGO
 AT VERY LOW PRICE
Circuit Judge Brands the City as Clearing House" and Advo-
 cates More Publicity
Chicago Dispatch In New York Sun.

Chicago Dispatch In New York Sun.
 Branding Chicago as a clearing house" for divorces, Circuit Judge Jesse A. Bald win expressed himself on the evils of divorce here and elsewhere, comparing the situation in Chicago with that in Lon don and New York. He attributed the large number of divorces heard yearly in Chicago to the desire of out-of-town peo- pie to bury their suits by having them heard here.
 "If 1t were not for thls fact he said, Eve would not have such long divorce calls. The increase in Chicago, should say has been possibly 10 per cent But the morality of the people is not to be de- termined by the number of divorces There are other factors to be taken into con- sideration. such as the fact that in New York there is only one statutory ground for divorce, adultery. while we have seven.
 Again. the great discrepancy between the numbers of divorces granted in Lon don and here does not mean that we are less concerned with the seriousness of the evil We have four times as many divorces in Chicago as in London, which means 16 times many in proportion to population, but in London the mini mum cost of obtaining divorce Is over S400, while in Chicago the minimum cost may be as small as $3.50.
 The remedy for this distressing sit- uation, in my Judgment, must be found further back than in the modification of the divorce laws. I would favor legis- lation which would require 30 or 60 days notice of the intended marriage to be published before a license is Issued
 "Other data regarding the contracting parties, such as would enable the friends of each to make the fullest investigation of the other as to character and asso- ciates, should go with this Then 1 would require that the parties be known to be free from serious physical taints."
 He also urged that marriages have every publicity at the time the ceremony is per formed, that the seriousness of the af- fair might be impressed upon tho con- t-acting parties.
 Let us transfer our attention from the moving picture shows and other forms of like amusement he said, Ito develop ing the best in home life and making it a center around which are developed the virtues upon which society is built"

Machine Guns Used in Europe

From the Scientific American.
 Many reports of the war in Europe speak of the terribly destructive fire of the machine guns.
 With each regiment of infantry there belongs platoon or company equipped with two or four machine guns. These machine guns generally fire the same ann intuition as is used for the rifle of the army, but fire it semiautomatically from clips or belts containing 90 to 25o rounds each.
 The most notable of these machine guns are the Hotchkiss (French) and Vickers (English). the former firing from clips containing 80 cartridges, and the latter firing from belts containing 250 cart ridges. The rate of fire of these guns is about 400 to 800 shots per minute.
 These rifles are transported either on iight-wheeled mounts or packed on mules or horses Their prime object Is to be able to take ID a position and deliver all overwhelming volume of fire where needed.

MISS PANKHURST M
 IN UNITED STATES
I Am Not Advocating Mili- tancy, She Says on Ar
 rival at New York

New York. October 14-Christabe el Fankhurst militant suffragette leader of England. came unannounced to New York today aboard the Red Star steam CT Finland
 Miss Pankhurst made the voyage un- der the alias of Elizabeth McDonald and did not announce her identity until the Finland was within sight of shore.
 T do not come to America to ad- vocate militant methods" were almost her Nrst words. as she stepped down the gangplank into the midst of dozen newspaper men. Militant meth ods are not needed in America. Tha men of the United States are more lib- eral than the men of England. This is demonstrated by the fact that a num- Der Of your states has already grant ed suffrage to women.
 Tn England our cause has given way to the cause of war and we women Of England are all loyal to our flag. Tho wofnens fight for votes in England l, has been laid aside temporarily. be- lieve, however, that England would have been better equipped for war if her women had been given the vote. It had been generally expected for wears that the war would come. The women, who are the greatest sufferers, should have a voice in the preparations to meet it.
 Be that as 1t may. militancy has all ready given its lesson in England. None of the English women believe that E,r gland will do anything but wine ir this war"
 Miss PanlShurst said she expected to remain in the United States for few months.
