July 15.-The claim of being Amerir

up by Mr.. and Mrs. Elbert w. Verify
Jr and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry E.
Frost, and surely nobody viii say
them nay.
First they swapped mutual friend
ship, wife for wife and Husband for
husband.
Then Verify and Mrs. Frost argued
that of Verify no Frost should chill
the affection Of manly man for
handsome woman, so they swapped
affection and kisses and their respec-
tive spouces swapped experiences and
sued for absolute divorces.
Final DEGREES were signed June 10
by Supreme Justice Manning.
And now. it was learned today.
Mrs. Verify is not Mrs. Verify at all,
but Mrs. Frost, and Mrs Frost is not
Mrs. Frost, but Mrs. Verify.
The couples decided to round out
their tendency for swapping by swap
ping wives and husbands. Verify
and Mrs Frost-no, Mrs. Verity-that
is to say, well, anyway, the defend
ants in the divorce actions. were mar
ried June IL and the plaintiffs on. or
about that date.
Verify and his new wife are now
living in Brooklyn and their former
partners. now Mr.. and Mrs. Frost,
live in Brooklyn.
Friends of both couples speculated
today upon a possible resumption of
friendship through the permission
granted the defendants to visit their
children.

DEVIL WORSHIP STILL EXISTS
Voodoo Practices, Originating In AZ
rIea, Have Not lost Their Hold
Among Negroes in America.

TLN earliest and most primitive form
Of religion is devil worship; Its clergy
are witch-dOctors.
The witch-doctor business thrives
among the negroes OF the South, and
to some extent In the North. 1t is a
kind of magic art, called voodoo. and
came originally from Africa.
For a moderate price you can buy q
'hoohoo" packet from a voodoo woman
that Is guaranteed, If fastened to his
front gate inconspicuously. to cause
your enemy to sicken and die. II con-
tains such articles as bits of bone. a
tooth or two. feathers. etc.
A favorite one holds chicken feath-
er. some human hair, a drop Of blood
on bit Of rag. and a pine silver. All
are tied together and sewed in scrap
OF rag.
Voodoo packets specially made up
for the purpose are sold as talIsmans,
to be worn about the neck for protec-
ton against the maleyolence OF
witches.

the women of Canada are insisting on

the cultivation of the orchards, and

wards evening two daughters Of the
family, slips of girls sixteen to eight

wearing oyera,ls. Each of them had
been driving binder all day. One
girl student wrote me during the sum
mer that she was managing the farm
IN her fathers absence, feeding the
pigs and the calves and planning the
work of the farm.
What the women themselves think
on this matter is very well expressed
by an article in recent issue of q
Winnipeg paper. written by a."Woman

SO far as the farms of eastern Canada
are concerned, it goes without SAYING,

THIS WAUPACA MAN
TO STAY IN DAlRT WING

A year ago a Waupaca county farm
er was milking II cows and getting a
monthly cream check of from S35 TO
$40. OF course he was dissatisfied.
He Joined the Waupaca and Butternut
Ridge Cow Testing association and, by
wedding out the poor cows. replacing
them With tested cows and using bet
ter methods of feeding, he increased
his cream check = So5 or 500 a month
from but ten cows. That was strictly
a business proposition. He had one
COW less 10 feed and milk, but his
cream check was twice as large and
r4s net profit very greatly increased.
