AN AWFUL SITUATION.

We wonder if the people of Crawford
ford county realize that in town in
this county OF not over a thousand in.
habitants there are siXty.two houses
that are the homes of one hundred
and twelve people only; that there are
fifty houses in the town that contain
but two persons in each family; that
there are twelve houses in the town
that contain but twelve people; that
in four blocks there are seventeen
widows. We do not know what TheO
dore Roosevelt would think of this re-
port, but we have it upon good author
ity that the facts are as stated.

FARMERS ORGANIZE.

The day OF the powerful individual
is past, replaced by the day OF the all
powerful organization. There is not
an industry or profession today that
does not depend upon its central or
ganization for the forwarding Of it's
interests.
The agricultural element composed
OF the most conservative men, spread
over an immense territory and having
widely diversified interests, has been
slow to take advantage OF the bene-
fits to be obtained by organized ac-
ton.
There is not today or ever has been
an industry SO necessary to human
existence, SO productive OF material
wealth, so firm foundation OF nat
ional existence, and SO great con-
virtues as that of agriculture. What
ever there is of which to boast OF the
pomp, splendor or greatness OF our
state and nation, whatever of which
to be proud in commercial, scien-
tific achievement whatever Of which
to rejoice in social and moral uplift
the roots will readily be traced down
deep into the firm, productive soil
of agricultural element drawing the
sustenance from the best brain and
Drawn OF the world. AS the farmer
is, so will the nation be.
The farmer, Injured TO the bard
ships of struggling with the elements,
subduing the wilderness and meeting
competition on every hand,
and glorying in his ability to fight his
battles single handed, has developed
rugged independence and a deep con
victiOn in the law OF the survival OF
the fittest," that has also helped to

gagged at any time in the past. 1t is
stated that Russia has seven millions
of men under arms and ready for the
conflict. We can only pray that there
may be some providential interposi-
ton to prevent the awful carnage
which is threatened. Italy has been
preparing for entering the war and
is in complete readiness and all that
is necessary to place her in an atti-
tude of hostility toward Austria is the
word of command. We almost shudder
to think of what may transpire in the
war zone during the next few weeks.

The latest reports from Mexico are
that the Carranza government has de.
cided to employ aeroplanes in the
warfare to be conducted in the future
and that large number OF steel point

and are to be dropped by the thous-

these missiles and their weight will be
such as will insure the death OF any

SENATOR HOLLIS IS
SUED BY HIS WIFE
Alleges Abandonment and Petit
tons for Separation.
n, Telegraph n The rnbun-l


Concord, \. H., Oct. Suit against
United States Senator Henry 7. Hollis
was brought to-day by his wife, Grace
r. Hollis. who petitions in the Merri-
mac County Superior Court for a sep
ara7ion and separate maintenance.
The petition was made returnable on
November -, and Senator Hollis was
restrained b. Judge Oliver ". Branch
from disposing OF his property until
final judgment IN the case or until
further order of the court.
Mrs. Hollis alleges that her husband
abandoned her about June %, 1912. she
is now living at Princeton, y. J.
Henry +. Hollis was elected 70 the
United States Senate from New Hamp.
shire in 1918. and was the first Demo-
crat to be sent from that state IN sixty
years He had been a candida FOR
Governor and for Representative. He
is q native of Concord. is forty-four
years old. and was graduated from
Harvard in 1892.
Senator Hollis's closest friends say
he is in Canada. and intends TO remain
there indefinitely. General Frank :.
Streeter, his longtime political and
professional antagonist, is counsel for
Mrs. Hollis, and the Senator is quoted
as saying that ne will make any sacri-
nee to avoid appearing in court, even II
70 becomes necessary for him to resign
az Senator.
Last spring Senator Hollis sent 4
lawyer TO his wife TO propose that she
get divorce on the ground of aban-
Comment. This snc declined to do.
When Senator Hollis learned whom she
had selected for counsel ne reduced her
allowance 10 $40 month and disap-

Ended in Divorce Will Get Sixth OF Resduary OF
Financier Estate-Wife Received Big Settlement.

line 2. Ream, one-third OF his entire
estate, household effects and gold and
silver ware. To two sisters is left q
life income from $4,000 each, and to
brother q life trust of $4,000.
The residuary estate, consisting of
the two-thrds left after Mrs. Ream
receives her bequest. is divided INTO
six equal parts and left TO the children
Of the testator. There are two daugn-
ters, Mrs Marion B. Stephens and Mrs.
Frances VI. Kemmerer. Only Robert I.
Ream. a son, gets his share outright,
the other children receiving only part
of their shares and the rest in trust.
The provision for Louis. the youngest
son. is that he shall receive one-fourth
of his share when he is thirty-tve
years old and one-third at forty. He
is to receive the income OF the re-
mainder. The son is authorized TO
dispose of the principal of the trust,
not paid TO him by will. He is twenty
eight years old. so that the first pay
ment from his fathers estate will not
come to him for seven years. The
widows share includes the Ream es-
tate at Thompson, Conn, which is OF
great value.
Mrs. Louis NJ. Ream. who still uses
her married name, says that she does
not want to be reminded Of Ream or
OF her unfortunate marriage. The
whole affair is a closed episode"
That there was an arrangement made
with the show girl wife. which Will
enable her to live in afilucnes for the
rest Of her life was also confirmed.

Loui. Marshall Ream, who In 1911
married Miss Eleanor Pendleton,
show girl, shares equally with his
brothers and sisters in the estate Of
his father Norman B. Ream, who was
one Of the organizers of the National
Biscuit Company and the United States
Steel Corporation. The estate has
been unoficislly valued as high as
s5O,OOO,OOO, but It is not likely to ap-
praise at that figure.
All doubt as TO the treatment Of
his youngest son. because of his mar
riage, of which Mr.. Ream disapproved,
was dispelled yesterday when copy
Of the will was made public at the
New York Office Of the State Controller,
with the consent Of counsel for the
Resm estate. II also developed that
the Hoboken romance Of the actress
and Louis Ream has long been shat
tered, the young couple having been
divorced. The former Eleanor Pendle-
ton went abroad in 1913 and lived in
lavish fashion. IL is understood that
she received a handsome settlement
from her husbands father.
Counsel for the estate maintains
that Mr.. Ream had no property in this
state. His will has been flied and
pre- bated in Connecticut. but not even
