BY Assoeiated Press

husbands conduct was improper. Last

son and his wife are held by the

LONDON "HACKs. Quad

London, March ts.-There is joy
among London's literary "hacks" and
the little fry of Fleet Street and Grub
Street, for thanks to the publicity"
activity of the government depart
ments many of the lesser lights of lit
erature and journalism are living bet
ter than ever before. At first only the
services of writers of authority and
reputation were enlisted. but in the
competition of the various offices for
publicity, the supply of really good
writer's became exhausted and the less
prominent penmen got a chance. The
greater part of their efforts find their
way quickly into the waste paper bas-
kets of the newspapers and magazines,
but the work is paid for Just the same.
and usually on a liberal scale.

as compared to 27S,152 from Austria
Hungary, the Italian government fa-
vors rather than objects to the new
literacy test.
When the news of the passing of the
new law over President Wilson's veto
was printed in Italy, the newspapers
at once editorially stated that the law
would help rather than injure Italy.
These newspapers gave two reasons
for this position. One reason was that
the law would force Italians to edu-
cate themselves. The second was that
Italy hoped in the future to export
the manufactured products of labor
rather than labor itself, and thereby
increase the wealth of the nation.

Why do so many women who are
attractive, intelligent, full of human
affection and tenderness-the sort of
women who were designed by nature
to make ideal wives and mothers
never marry?
Is it because they were bent on
celibacy? Or is it because men were
too stupid to know good thing when
they saw it, and so passed them over?
Or is it the fault of social conditions

"Well, l see by the paper that the

"You know my old woman has been
tryin' to git me to butcher pair of
them hogs fur our own use, but l
says: Looky here. Suppose we do kill
some hogs, how will we hide the meat !?
Why, we'd have to keep it in our bed
room to keep somebody from grabbin'
it.
"But speakin' about hogs, it reminds
me that the American people is plum
wrong about this here proposition of
how to live. Now we hear lot about
the fact that there amt no meat. Now
do you know what's the cause of it?
Well, I'll tell you: You know every

COUPLE FREED ON
STATUTORY CHARGE
Judge Takes Case from Jury
Two Other Criminal Cases
in Circuit Court.

Mrs. Hattie Terror and c. c. Adams
of Charlottesville were acquitted on a
charge of auditory in the Jackson Cir
cult Court yesterday after the State
had introduced its evidence. The case
was not even given to the jury, Judge
Kelly ruling that the States evidence
was not sufficient to substantiate the
charges. His ruling was the result CT
the filing of motion by the attorneys
for the defendants asking to quash ne
indictment.
Many cases decided in other courts
were referred to by the attorneys to
show that their motion should be sus-
tanned. After hearing the arguments
on both sides, Judge Kelly ruled n
favor of the defendants.
Mrs. Terror was arrested last May
in her home on North Sprigg street
after her husband, Leo Terror, had
asked for her arrest. Adams was
taken into custody later when he ar
rived in Caruthersville from the Cape
Beyond the fact that Adams had pur-
chased some furniture for Mrs. Ter
ror's hmoe and that he had been seen
around the house several times, the
State could not introduce any evidence
for the charge.
Mrs. Terror has filed a petition for
divorce. The case will be tried this
week.

ASSESSMENTS OF 3
MERCHANTSREDUCED
Board Of Equalization in Session
Yesterday Grants Appeal
of Three.

Three merchants of Cape Girardeau,
who appeared before the Board of
Equalization in session yesterday as
an appeal board from former deci-
sions, were given a reduction Of their
merchants and manufacturers license
after the members of the board had
heard their appeals.
The three were: Carl Wielpuetz and
Martin Lorberg of the Cape, and John
Trusty of Handles. Wielpuetz's as
sessment on his stock had been in
creased by the Board Of Equalization
from 800 to $1,000; Lorberg's was
increased from $500 to $500, and Mr..
Trusty's assessment raised to $4,000
Wielpuetz told the members Of the
board he had not increased his stock
since the last assessment and did not
have sufficient stock on hand to war
rant such high assessment. He told
the members of the board that aside
from a small bread and cake supply
he had little stock in the store, and
thought that the $1,000 assessment was
exorbitant.
Lorberg, who conducts a furniture
store in Haarig, argued that while he
had increased his stock since the last
assessment he did not have enough to
permit such high increase as the
board had voted in the last session.
He had been raised from $500 to
$500. After hearing his case, the
board decided to fix Lorberg's assess
ment at $1,000, increasing it by 5000.

tives Say.

The former will become the bride
August Siemers, while her sister will
marry William Sanders of Gordon
vile. The two girls are will known

time.
Miss Edna Schwab admitted to a re-
porter for The Tribune that she would
soon be married, but said they had not
set date for the wedding. 1t was
planned to celebrate a triple wedding
in the family, but for several reasons
this plan was abandoned, and it was
decided to have the weddings at in
tervals Of several weeks.
Miss Edna Schwab has been staying
with the family of Councilman Ben
Vineyard for nearly a year. She is a
pretty blonde. The draft almost cross
ed the plans of the young couple, her
fiance being. one of those drafted in |
the first call. When he learned that |
he had been exempted for physical
reasons, the couple decided to hurried
ly complete their wedding plans.
A fourth wedding in Gordonville has
been announced by William Gross and
Miss Emma Hager. The marriage will
be held in about two weeks, relatives
of the couple say. Mr.. Gross is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Christian Gross,

Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Hager. Her father
is a retired farmer now living in Cor
donville.
The groom-to-be has purchased a
farm from the father of his fiancee,
on which he intends to make his home
after the wedding. The young couple
have planned a two weeks honey
moon trip to the East.
The runlor that Leo Schwab would
marry Miss Alma Bangert, a daughter
Of Judge Bangert of Gordonville, was
denied by Dir. Schwab yesterday even
ing. Relatives said. however, that the

fall, and that the young couple would
make their home with Judge Bangert,
who conducts a store at Gordonville,

States, and that shipbuilding was not
one of the best fields but the very
best field for the investment of capital
in an industrial venture. not merely
because of the war and for the duTa-
ton Of the war but for many years
after the war, and because of many
wcll-known reasons that have been
in existence many years; that the
chief of these reasons was that our
mercantile marine had been allowed
to die: that we were dependent on the
sea, if not to the same extent as
Great Britain, at least to a sufficient
extent to justify and to demand Il
great expansion III shipping, If We do
not want to continue to be dependent
on other nations for our ocean freight,

war perhaps had brought this fact to
our attention and would force US to
do now what we ought to have done
long ago.
