MAN ASKS DIVORCE ON
GROUND OF DESERTION

William c. Wright yesterday
brought suit in the equity courts
against Mabel H. Wright, for a
limited divorce on the ground of
desertion. The two were married
at Newark, n. J., October II, 1901,
and have IA year old son now be-
ing cared for at the home of a
friend.
The complaint recites that Mrs,
wright deserted her husband in
this city on March 1. 1916, and that
all efforts to induce her to return
have proved futile. In one of the
letters Wright SAYS he received
from his wife on this subject, she
is alleged to have advised him to go
to place the existence of which is
affirmed by eminent divines.
Hosea B. Moulton appears as at
torney for Mr.. Wright.

The sudden shock and jerk as the

the only thing that could possibly

The Price
of Meat

1t might be an advan-
tage if the prices of meats
and live, stock could be
stabilized. The packer
now has to cope with the
uncertainties of f1uctu-
ating prices of both cattle
and dressed beef in order
togetan average netproft
of IA of a cent per pound.
But - elimination of
price fluctuations, now
regulated by supply and
demand, involves many
difficulties:
Fresh meat is perish
able and must be sold
within a few days for
what it will bring.
When meat accumu-
lates, competition forces
prices down so as to make
stocks move.
When the supply is
short, competition forces
prices up, resulting in
even distribution of avail
able stocks.
Demand for meat varies with
industrial conditions, with sup
ply of ships for export, with the
seasons and weather changes,
and with supply of other foods.
It varies irregularly in different
parts of the country; it varies
with respect to the different
qualities of meat, and the var
ious cuts.
The demand for by-products
also huctuates.
The supply oflive stock reach
ing the packing plants, as well
as its weight and quality, huc-
tuates from day to day, from
week to week, and from season
to season.
The price the packer pays
for live stock depends on all
these varying conditions.
Swift & Company will gladly
cooperate in the carrying out
of any national policy that will
tend to steady the prices of live
stock and meat.

Colonel Roosevelt, in his last crit
icisms of Mr.. Wilson, has gone too
far. No doubt that the influence of
Hearst's papers is pernicious. But
Hearst's papers have taken good care
to keep just inside the law. No doubt
that the administration has the moral
right to exclude them from the mails,
but they have been too cunning to
give it the legal right. And Mr.. Will
sons respect for the law is a mighty
good thing for man in his position.
Now, as for the article by William
Hard, in the Metropolitan, that caus-
ed a part of one months edition of
that magazine to be shut out of the
mails, it was not only seditious but
slanderous and untruthful. The man
who wrote it should have been sent to
the penitentiary to stay there till the

Mr.. H. NJ. Hutchinson's letter to
the Banner, in which he speaks of the
highly efficient part the railroad COM
mission took in renewing service on
the Oklawaha Valley railroad, re-
minds the Star of an old time custom
at rail-splittings in North Georgia. On
these occasions, the real work of
splitting the rails was done by husky
axmen, but there were generally pres
ent three or four old fellows, unable
to do much, tho they had been good
workers in their younger days. In
order to save the feelings of these old
boys, they were always assigned the
job to "grunt and chop splinters
that is, when an able-bodied worker
would hit a wedge with maui one
of the old men would give a grunt,
and when a splinter would develop in
a crack in log, slightly hindering its
splitting, an old man would cut said
splinter with his. ak. The work of
renewing service on the Oklawaha
Valley was done by Mr.. Cummings,
who leased the road and some others,
entirely unconnected with the railroad
commission. All the commission did
was to "grunt and chop splinters."
And that is all it will do in regard to
anything as long as the government
controls the railroads.

Yes, Mr. Hutchinson, the Star was
represented at said hearings, gave an
accurate account of them and made a
strong protest against disseminating
the service. What did Mr.. Hutchin-
son do? Somehow, we failed to notice
Mr.. Hutchinson taking any effectual
part in the proceedings. We guess
he helped the railroad commission to
"grunt and chop splinters."
