SOME FIGURES OUTSIDE THE CENSUS BUREAU

That was a most interesting table lately published by a Washington

are there in the United States?
The Bureau OF the Census, while it is unable to make n estimate
Of the proportion who are abc-bodied estimates that tn total nuHpe

SYMPTOMS, NOT CAUSES

The failure OF many things undertaken in the name OF reform IS
due to the fact that their proponents have no grasp on human exper-
fence and human history.
The first sixteen years of this century shows the United State
leading the world with 100000 divorces. There will be lzopO TINS

wishes the passage of a constitutional amendment to enforce uniform
laws governing marriage and divorce.
Wouldn't it be a good thing also to go to the root OF the trouble
to rer more Young LEI worthy OF being husbands and more young
women fit to be wives and homemakers; to get back to the SIMPLE lie
of thrift, industry and common sense, and OF fewer sport clothes,
line parties and JOY rides?
The nractneo of dealing with results rather than causes is mainly due
to things. The first is that many people are not quahhed to dlstn-

made to the authorities daily. Driv-

and every effort has been made to
have the practice stopped without

all pleading seems to have been in

harsher measures are being adopted.
Yesterday two offenders were hailed

was fined $50 and costs for driving a

fined $40 and costs for speeding on

Bretheren, We
Thank You

Pierce County Herald: ''The Riv-
er Falls Journal is putting on an
automobile contest. Here's luck,
Brother Morse. f"
River Falls Times: "The Times be-
lieves in putting all the value that
the newspaper business will per
nit. week after week into improv-
ing its equipment and into the news
service. We have frequently been
approached by promoters OF auto
mobile contests, piano contests and
beauty contests. Feeling that our
judgment would prove defective IN
each and every instance we have re
Trained. If you want to become a
nossessOr of reliable auto and have
someone to kick to if itdoesn't prove
so, buy one of our four local dealers.
If you want a piano that will chord
and give dollars service for every
dollar put in, the best principle is to
buy of the local dealer down on
Main street, who has maintained
business reputation here for over a
third of a century. If you want a
newspaper come to the Times office
and buy it at the regular rate, which
will permit Us to give you satisfac-
ton, Don't look for thousand
dollar car or a $500 piano thrown
in"
We most heartily thank Broth
ers Doolittle & Son for their ex-
preston Of good will, and in return
we sincerely hope, and predict, that
the Herald brings you all the pros
perity which a live, neWsy paper
merits.
We must also thank Brother Ap
Roberts for the good, solid advertis-
ing points which his article sets
forth in favor Of our automobile and
piano contest, although possibly we
should not be too forward in assum-
ing his good will in this matter.
First he states that he believes in
putting all the value that the news
paper business will permit into i'm
proving it's equipment and into the
news service"
We emphatically endorse that
sentiment and some time ago put in
to our plant many new modern i'm
provements. In this contest we eX-
pect to do still more, by giving our
advertising patronage more value
through a greatly increased circu-
lation.
His next strong boost for our con-
test is; IF you want to become a
possessor of a reliable auto, and
have someone to kick to if it doesn't
prove so, buy of any of our four
local dealers. If you want a piano
that will chord and give dollars ser
vice for every dollar put in, the best
principle is to buy of the local deal
er down on Main street, who has
maintained a business reputation
here for over third of a century"
That for a certainty is solid logic,
and Messrs. Carisch and Winter
