MADE NOVEL RULING
Judges Efforts to Reconcile Hus-

Granted Separation. But Required
Couple to Live in the Same House
Six months-How English
Jurist Handled a Case.

Justice Crane at Mineola once grant
ed a six-months separation order to
Mrs Irene Brown of Freeport from
her husband, Alexander s. Brown, but
required the couple to live in the same
house
IF, at the end of six months. living
in this sort of way" said Justice
Crane, you find that you do not see
the good points in each other. and if
you both have lived up to the terms of
the order, l will grant a permanent
separation
Although living in the same house
with each other, for Mr.. Brown to adj
dress Mrs. Brown. or vice versa, could
be construed as an annoyance and
therefore as contempt of court.
There are presidents to show that
even saying Good morning" might be
method of eyincing ridicule and con-
tempt, and as such might merit ju-
dicial reprimand. The court contem-
plates nothing but a dignified and
stony silence in carrying out the terms
of the order.
There is an English case in which a
lighthouse keeper and his wife. after
living together thirty years. went to a
Justice and asked for separation pa
pers. They were told to return to
their light and live for a fortnight
without speaking a word to each other
or lending each other hand at any
thing, save fixing the light, and even
with that task they were to take al
ternate nights, SO as not to interfere
with each other. If at the end of the
two weeks they still could not get
along then something would be done.
At the expiration of the time limit
the wife came first to the justice ask
! ing for a permanent separation, de
claring that more than ever did she
wish to enjoy her freedom from heI

NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
Untruthful Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming a Beighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility of which is now so well
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty of the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and trifing
investigation will only reveal their I'M
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers, reading in part as follows
1T is believed that as a result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government number of former
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which in the case
of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-f1edged lie of this
kind has, of course, only a short life.
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread it, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
of SO per quarter section on uncult1-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. By having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi
dents. The high price of grain fol

splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question vel
worth consideration.-Adve

DRAG THE ROADS WHILE WET
State Highway Engineer w. s. Gear
hart, Gives Some Timely Sugges-
tions for Spring Work.

Kansas roads will need dragging
soon. Too much of the road dragging
in Kansas, believes w. S. Gearhart,
state highway engineer, is done too
late to be effective. Many times the
roads are dragged when they are so
dry that the drag merely acts as
leveler. The work should be done,
however, says Engineer Gearhart,
while the highways are moist
Here are some suggestions which
are offered by Engineer Gearhart to
the man who drags the road Drag the
road as soon after a RAIN as possible.
Do not drag a dry road. Ride on the
drag Use a light drag and haul it
over the road at an angle of 45 de-
grees. If the drag is cutting too
much, shorten the hitch The driver
can control the amount of earth that
the drag will carry along by standing
near or away from the cutting edge
When the roads are first dragged after
muddy spell, the wagons should
drive to one side until the roads have
chance to get partly dry. Repeated
applications will give the best results.

News to this effect Is brought by Jack Pick ering and Emil Forrest, who have just returned from fhe district. MT.

 "On the 30 miles of trail from Mayo Landing to Galena we found it necessary to crib three miles of road in order to make 1t suitable for hauling ore, and we did the work at our own expense.

spectaeIes for Cows.

The idea of cows wearing spectacles
seems ridiculous. Nevertheless there
are cows that do wear spectacles, and
they may be seen on the plains or
steppes of Russia, which are covered
with snow more than six months of
the year. The cows subsist on the tufts
of grass which crop above the snow,
and the rays of the sun on the snow
are so dazzling as to cause blindness.
1t occurred to kind-hearted man to
protect the cows eyes in the same
way as those of human beings, and he
manufactured smoke-colored specta-
cles which could be worn by cattle.
These spectacles proved great sue
cess and are now worn by upward of
10000 head of cattle. The animals no
longer suffer from snow blindness,
which once caused such untold suffer
ing among them.

Why Men Are Bald.

Men get bald more frequently than
women, according to scientist, be-
cause they wear hard, heavy hats,
they cut their hair too short, and they
eat more than women The doc"
says the scalp is like soil, and the hair
like the vegetation that grows upon
1t. When the scalp is neglected the
hair does not grow and its roots die.
just as grass dies when the soil is
poor. A heavy, hard hat constructs
the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp. Clipping the hair short leaves
its tender roots at the mercy of the
cold, heat and dust. The oil that
exudes from around the roots of the
hairs and keeps them nourished is
coagulated by the cold and chokes up
the matrix in which the hair is formed
