DISAPPEARANCE

Newspaper readers and all who
follow police and court work, must
be impressed with the frequency OF
disappearance cases. These cases
are Of two types, the real and the
fakes. The newspaper reporter who
looks up the case goes to the home
expecting to find the wife dissolved
in tears at the loss Of husband

not always seem much upset.
The true inwardness of some of
these situations was explained the

husband will often leave secretly for
another place, obtain a job and send
money regularly to his wife. She
meanwhile will live in some degree
OF comfort, particularly as she has
a seemingly good excuse for not
paying bills. When the duns become
too pressing. she can follow her hus-
band. But until that time she some.
times is able to get relief from NUM-
cipal pauper departments, meanwhile
receiving regular remittances from
her husband.
The majority of disappearance
cases are probably not Of this type.

Of trusting woman, unified for
motherhood for hard labor, but left
some worthless human trash to feed

the most pitiful thing in life.
The man guilty OF such an act de.

UndOubted French
Resources

To supply the men needed France
has an astonishing store of soldier
material. At the date of this writ.
ing, March Is, 1915, France has ..
100000 men on the battle line. BE.
hind these, she has in waiting about
100000 more trained soldiers.
These are gathered in military de.
pots or camps, located conveniently
near the front. There are 21O of
these reservoirs OF men for infantry
alone.
In case of emergency there can be
added to these 100000 men between
the ages of thirty.nine and forty.five,
to these could be added 100000 men
of the class of 1916 ond the same
number of the class OF 1917; these
men would be youths Of seventeen to
eighteen years of age. respectively.
Frances financial resources would
seem to be very large. The Bank of
France reports a gold reserve Of A.
O00,000,000 francs; and that institu.
ton estimates that the people have
In their stockings the same amount
Of gold. It would appear that this
estimate Is generous in view Of the

THE pow Err OF
COLD FACTS

A remarkable instance OF the pow
er of the newspaper press has Just
been given In England. A complete
readjustment of the cabinet govern
ing that country has just been fore
ed. and II is said to have been due
10 dispatch from correspondent
of the London Times. This dis.
patch dwelt on the fact that the ar
my was being supplied with too
much shrapnel and too few high ex.
plosive shells.
II the downfall Of the English cabi.
net Is thus truly explained, 1t Is an
instance of the pow'g of careful and
accurate statements Ut fact, both In
newspaper work and In political
campaigning. There are too many
newspaper men in this country who
are mere armchair critics. They
can write brilliant and slashing arti.
sles, but they lack foundation Of
solid investigation.
The political stump is full OF on
hand statesmen who can get you up

hour. II exposes the absurdlty and
futility of opponents and is clever,
witty, and sets the galleries to cheer

zen gets home he asks himself: What
more do know about my govern.
ment? To which he must answer,
Nothing
Probably one reason why political
rallies are not well attended is that
there is too much arm swinging and
too little real information.
American newspapers are all the
time presenting carefully prepared
statements of fact, that are just as
influential in a more limited field as
has been the dispatch that Is said
TO have broken the English cabinet.
But the national temperament inter-
poses obstacles In the way of the
most accurate work. The publ. de.
mands its news quick, II would
rather take an unverihed rumor to-
day than to have an editor spend
twenty-four hours getting more &C.
curate information and come In late
with his story. The public blames
the newspaper press for inaccuracy,
and then forces the newspapers to
compete under conditions that make
accuracy difficult Is not impossible.

EXCURSIONS WITH A

at some distance from the water has
devised convenient method Of trans

the mechine is sidecar which en-
ables him to carry a passenger while
light two wheeled trailer is used for
carrying a boat. This Is attached to
the machine by means OF a simple
coupling which allows 1t to take the
turns easily and also prevents 1t from
ramming the motorcycle when the
brakes are applied. All the provi.

AT LAST THEY WED
Harry Easterbrook and May WInans
Secure License After Being
Refused Three Times

After making four attempts in se-
curing a marriage license, Harry
Easterbrook and May Winner of Mt.
Vernon were successful in securing
the license in the Richland county
probate court Wednesday afternoon.
The couple applied twice in the
Knox county probate court and were
refused. They applied once before in
the Richland county court and were
refused, but were successful on We'd
nesday, according to the Mansfield
papers.
The Mansfield News states that the
bride did not know her age and that
neither the bride nor the groom could
write. The bridegroom had just one
dollar.
The girls father loaned him fifty
cents and the license clerk threw off
an equal amount on the price Of the
marriage certificate. The couple did
not know how they were going to get
married as they had no money to pay
the minister.

Brandon, July dow Mason. with
the assistance of his bride, his uncle
and Rev. Carpenter of Homer success
fully outwitted three automobile loads
of friends who journeyed to Homer
yesterday afternoon in an endeavor to
kidnap him as soon as he had been
married to Miss Helen Baxter.
The ceremony occurred at o'clock
at Rev. Carpenters home. Vain ef-
forts on the part of the auto parties
from Brandon failed to break up the
nuptials. The crowd was resolved,
however, on securing the bridegroom
and surrounded Rev. Carpenters
home. Vigilance relaxed when the
shades Of evening came on and an
uncle Of the bride, Mr.. Charles
Wright, succeeded in smuggling the
couple out of the home of Rev. Car
penter. He took them to his home in
Brandon. The crowd was of the
opinion that Mr.. Wright had merely
taken the bride and kept watch over
Rev. Carpenters home. When finally
convinced by the divine that the bride
and bridegroom had both escaped,
the autos were driven back to Brand
on and Mr.. Wright's home surround

was transpiring below!

finally realized that they had been
outpointed at the game and, after

newlyweds. returned to their respect.
