New York City courts are handling
100 divorce cases a month and the
demand on the mill and its output are
increasing. Only a little more than
half of these matrimonial actions have
been contested and almost as many
men as women have begun them; al
though in the undefended cases the
husbands instituted almost twice as
many as the wives took to court. In
the undefended divorce actions the
courts are now declared to be giving
many less verdicts than formerly. as

ranted. makes for their continuance.
To illustrate. the American farmer
loses $3.50. oO0, 900 annually because OF
bad roads. Weeds cost him $oOO. 900
every year Failure to encourage birds
and bird life costs him another half
a billion annually. while neglect in the
matter of spraying against both insect
and fungus enemies takes an amount
from his pocket yearly that is almost
incalculable.
Agriculture in this country. in other
words, must charge against itself GER
tain annual losses that are OF hxed
character only because the farmer does
little toward eradicating the causes
that produce them. A community that
wants good roads can get them They
come with wanting them enough.
Weeds, through the determination to
conquer them, can be conquered. And
so with other causes of these regular"
annual losses There is no necessity
for tolerating any of them. 1t ought

to reflect that the sort of cooperation
that checked and suppressed one of
the most infectious cattle diseases in
the world can be used effectively
against other enemies Of agriculture.

One of the most interesting stories of
the Belgium refugees is furnished
through the action of the Congregational
church in Rockland. When the war
broke out and the whole world was call
ing for help to the Belgians, it was de-
cided by this Maine church that they
should send funds enough to take care
of one family of refugees there, provid-
ed the church in England would attend
to the dispensation of the money sent.
Among the families in need was one
named De Cuypers. The mother and
little daughter escaped to England in a
fishing boat while the husband went to
the war. In England they were cared for
temporarily with others of their people,
and finally taken to a house which some
church had provided to shelter II people.
Here the money sent by the Rockland
church was used for their support. The
father of the family, after taking part
in countless battles obtained furlough
to search for his family. He found them
safely sheltered in England and is now
back fighting at the front, secure in the
fact that his family is being cared for by
strange people from a distant land,
and speaking foreign tongue. yet whom
he has never seen. This is a Maine Incl
dent brought out by the big war.
