Awards Divorce,
But First Delivers
Scorching Rebuke

Judge Day gave Robert Zahnow
and wife, Marie, a scorching rebuke
when he granted the latter a divorce
with $3.50 alimony and 500 attor-
ney's fees. Mrs. Zahnow sued for
$4,000, alleging various acts OF
cruelty on the part of her husband.
Il have had $50 divorce cases be-
fore me during this year" said Judge
Day. Il am desperately sorry that
so many people do not get along bet
ter in the married state. II is the
foundation of our society, and great
number of these divorces are founded
On nothing more than pettiness and
vicious nagging between husband and
wife"
Mutual consideration and a pinch of
courtesy and tolerance would elimi-
nate large part OF the growing an
tagonism in domestic life which leads
TO the abuse and quarrels ending in
the divorce court. said the judge.
There is no reason why man cam
not get along as we'll with his wife
as he can with his neighbors.

Prof. Warner Shows Teachers
The Proper Way to Dress Hogs

To illustrate, Mr.. Stewart pointed
to the fact that OF the boys and girls
OF the Holdrege high school who
studied agriculture last year a number
Of them took first prizes at state and
county fairs on the exhibits raised in
the gardens that they planted and
cultivated. In addition, many OF them
sold products out OF their gardens
realizing considerable revenue.
c. w. Watson Of the state extern
sion service of the University of lie
braska, in talking on Home Projects
in Agriculture" urged upon teachers
the Importance OF becoming leaders in
the organization Of agricultural clubs
among their pupils. He told them
that they should not only strive to
teach, but that they should prepare
themselves so that they would know
how to instrust the children to do
things, producing the best results
with the least cost.
Mr.. Watson favored giving credits
to pupils on their home project work
and would have thi3 work take in pig
raising, egg-producing and cooking.
Prof. Pugsley of the University OF
Nebraska, in speaking on the "Agri-
cultural Teacher and the War;" took
the position that there are places for
these teachers in the trenches, on the
farm and in the school rooms of the
state. He urged that more attention
be paid to teaching loyalty to the
country. the problem Of food conser-
walton and food production.
The professor did not anticipate
starvation, but with the United States
called upon to furnish food for more

GIGANTIC fraud
IS Discovered
BY POSTOFF|CE
SwindIers in Havana Prevented
From Securing Money From
Local Manufacturing
Firm BY Luck.

Twenty-Five hundred dollars worth
of forged money orders were received
at the Omaha postoffice Thursday,
payable to a large Omaha manufac-
turing concern, the name OF which is
withheld. Only by a piece OF genuine
luck was this firm saved the loss of
S2.400 in one Of the most novel fraud
schemes that has even been attempted
through the postofhce.
The piece OF luck was the fact that
the Daily Bulletin received by the
postoffices from Washington states
in the issue received today that three
of the largest cities in the country
have received forged money orders
from Havana, Cuba, under date Of
October 9, 1917. 1t asks all postmas-
ters to be on the lookout for them.
Forgeries Are Good.
The Is $l00 money orders received
at the local office correspond exactly
TO this description and, OF cousse. they
were not paid to the concern to which
they are made out. -.
The swindlers have neat scheme" !"
said Postmaster flaming, They
either stole, the money order blanks
in Havana or printed them. They
have the rubber stamps to correspond
TO those used at the Havana postoffice
and the signatures are good limitations
OF the genuine.
The forueries were detected by
the Postoffice department for two
reasons. First, the swindlers used
serial -umb.rs several thousand high
er than those used in the Havana
postoffiee on the date which these
fraudulent orders bear. In the sec
ond place, the swindlers forwarded
their advices of the issuance of the
money o"ders by ordinary mail,
whereas it is the practice OF the Ha-
vana Office to forward three advices
/ by registered mail.
System Of Swindlers.
"The scheme takes the intended
victims unaware. In the present case,
the Omaha manufacturer, il the
scheme had been successful, would
have had $500 in cash, received
from the money orders. He receives
from the swindler a letter, saying
that he is going to buy large order
of goods and asking that catalogue
be sent him. The next day comes
letter with a sight draft on the in
tended victim for $2,400. The letter
states that for business reasons the
sender OF the money orders finds
himself in immediate need of this sum.
And, of course, the recipient honors
the draft because he is still 500 ahead.
an this instance it would have
been the manufacturer who would
have lost if we had paid the money
,rders."

In hN consideration of geography

DR.. Brigham said: Il do not say that

world is moving in that direction.
Progress of industry and commerce
