The United States of America has
scored another triumph In the realm
OF discovery. It took an American
court to place monetary value Of
only 6 cents on Wife.
The other day one of your New
York courts found n man guilty OF.
alternating the affections OF his mate.
What did the court do to punish
that man? It assessed 6 cents dam
ages. The husbuTrd. whose name was
carried in the press dispatches as
William J. Reitn1eir. thought it was
worth $4,000 to lose the affection
OF his beloved. He brought suit for
that sum and III court told of the
terrible heart strain resulting from.
the loss OF his wife. James d.
Thorn. the defendant.
The same day in the same court
house a jury was hearing the case
Of Miss Nancy Ericsson, II years old,
who had lost toe. Oh. 1t was a
valuable toe. indeed. Without that
toe she would be dishgured for life.
she would be unable to be 4 great
toe dancer and she would be unable
to walk as gracefully as She had In
the past. Furthermore the loss Of
the toe had caused her great phys
Ericsson was n sad girl when She
faced the Jurors and wept out the
tale OF her lost toe. The jury was
sad. and after due deliberation
awarded her $1,000.
Therefore a toe Is worth 1866
times more than wife. The reck-
oninS is not so dreadfully bad. for
a toe will never grow again. A wife
can be had for the marrying. so the:
loss OF a wife is not to be deplored
SO much according to the rulings OF
the American court.
But believe the court ruling
tends to work disaster on the Amer
lean home. While the question has
been handled tiippantly by the 5peo-.
pie in general believe it's ques-
ton for serious thought How
much Is . wife worth? Surely the
affection OF good wife is worth
more than many toes
Let US put the question to the mon
of tho country. What is your wife
worth Would you sacrifice your
wife for your toes or would you
give one toe for wife. The trouble
with the average American is that
he would give all his toes and heels
too.sfor wife before he is married.
Several years later he would trade
her off and would give his toes and
heels to get rid of her. suppose
the jury must have been q jury Of
married ones who couldn't appre-
ciate the value of a good wife.
Perhaps the toe jury feared there
would beno toe dancers left If they
did not assess heavy damages ffc-

the loss Of the toe
There are toes which fortunes
could not buy and which have made
fortunes for their owners. In my
native Paris there is a school where
dancers are taught the use OF the
toe and the best toe dancers como
from that school. They learn to
dance quite young and the develop
ment of the toe is wonderful. They
can stand on the tips OF their toes
for long time and are able TO
dance on the tips OF their toes IN
their bare feet for many minutes.
These toe dancers have their toes
insured when they go on the stage
for the loss of a toe means the loss
OF employment. 1t would be awful
for a toe dancer to SO on the stage
with one toe missing. Even il her
dancing should not be impaired it
would mean that those who turn the
opera glasses at her feet would note
the disfigurement.
FORTUNES CAN BE READ
By LOOKING AT TOES.
Fortunes can lie read by the toes.
In the olden times when all persons
Wore sandals the toe was an index
offfortune and fortune tellers looked
at the toes as carefully as they
looked at the hands and the face.
When the great toe turned outward
1t was sign Of sclf-relfance and
hardness When the great toe was
straight to the front it was q sign
of ready compliance with the will
& of others. 1t showed the owner OF
the toes was willing to be a follow

The great toe turning inward was
q sign OF backwardness and lack OF
self-reliance. All great toes turn

the wooden shoe Of the Hollanders
permits OF perfection more readily
than the leather shoe Of the Ameri-

fortune teller cannot do much
toward telling the fortune in look

There are certain points about the
toe which can still be read II the

THE PRICE Of CEMENT
Mahaska County Gets Much Better
Rate Than Report Shows.

A big injustice is done the Mahas-
ka county board OF supervisors by
certain Iacts contained In the April
May bulletin issued by the state high
way commission. Several excerpts
from this report, contained in a dis
patch from Dies Moines, were printed
in yesterdays. Herald.
The report says that many counties
of the state are paying too much for
their 1915 supply OF cement. 1t says
that $l20 per barrel is a fair price
for cement but that Mahaska county
is paying $3.50 per barrel. Harrison
county is quoted as paying but $1.l5.
The truth of the matter is that
Mahaska county paid less for her &C.
ment this year than any other coun-
ty in the state. II is true that the
price was $l.50 per barrel, gross. A
rebate of 40 cents per barrel is OBJ
tanned when the sacks are returned,
making the net price per barrel $11O,
which is perhaps the lowest paid by
any county in the state. The mis-
take probably occurred through a
misunderstanding on the part of the
state highway commission, but 1t is
none the less regrettable, as 1t does
an injustice to the local supervisors
when they should be highly praised
for their cement contract.
