Here is the world humanity has

The question is asked by President
Wilson. His own answer is contained
in remarkable little book just pub
lished by the Harpers. It is called
"On Being Human" and It is not only
a book with a stimulating interest.
but IL reveals the President in a very
human mood.
''On Being Human" shows in what
real humanity consists and how it may
best be attained and the fruits OF 1t
enjoyed. Each of US wishes to be hu

Our daily existence is filled with
such a multitude of details that, OBJ
serving them, we become spiritually
near-sighted. What is the remedy?
Look at the seaman. or the hunter,
says the author; in their eyes you will
find a look not TO be found in the eyes
of city dwellers. They take a wide
eyed view of the world. The man
who would be called human must gain

observation of men and from the infiu-

PlainViHle News RUSSELL MUST PAY
 WIFE $9 EACH WEEK
Justice Condell Gives Decision in
 Non-Support Case ACCUSED TAKES APPEAL
Court Rules Wife Is Entitled to One half Her Husbands Income Transfers Land To Rockwe1l-Drake Co.-Talks To Grangers-Briefs.


 Ruling that wife is entitled to at least one-half her husbands income, Justice A. H. Condell has ordered a conviction in the case of Thomas G. Russell who was recently brought into court to answer to charge of non-support. Justice Condell has ruled that Russell may contribute $9 a, week towards his wife's support for a period of one year. When advised of the decision Judge w. J. Malone of Bristol notified the court that he would take an appeal for Russell; bringing the case before a jury at the fall term of the Superior court.
 The case has attracted unusual at- tention owing to the fact that the couple are we'll known and because their marital affairs have been before the public on other occasions since they became estranged over a year ago.
 Russell faced the court on non support charge last Saturday. His wife presented evidence to show that some months ago the accused ar ranged to give her $7 week for her support. For a number of weeks prior to his arrest she told the court he had failed to make a settlement and had offered no satisfactory ex- planatlon. The young man offered no defense but in reply to questions from the Justice declared that while he had considerable property inter ests which came into his possession after the death of his father, he had no ready cash.
 This statement was omething of surprise to Justice Condells who had been among those to appear before the probate court to testify in favor of removing a conservator, who had been named to handle his business af- fairs. At the time the justice said he thought the young man should be given a, chance to make good. When he learned. however, that his money had been spent he declared from the bench that a conservator should again be appointed.
 After the hearing he reserved deci- sion for the purpose of Investigating his income to determine what amount his wife was entitled to. Tn giving his ruling he stated that Mrs. Rus sell has a right to at least half her husbands income and he ordered the defendant to pay $9 weekly to her.
 There is seemingly disposition o1l the part of Russell and his relatives to fight the case and it is expected that a jury will eventually be asked to decide on the merits of Mrs. Rus sells claims
