cate generals office, are bending
every effort to decide within the next
80 days all Of the cases in which the

It is pointed out that in many in
stances the department cannot decide
these claims accurately and promptly
unless In positions to give them the
true circumstances involved in the
Individual cases. The final allow
ances to dependents will depend on
the result of this cooperation.
The judge advocate general g office
announces that the discharge of sol
diers cannot be handled properly un-
til these exemption claims are deter
mined. Postmasters also are asked
to report on the attitude of the sol
diers, upon their again becoming

especially with reference toward
their service In the military forces
and toward their obligations as citi-
zens. It is intimated the attitude 1t
the returned soldiers in this respect
will have some weight in reaching

Judge Charles Grail of the Los An

that the world is growing worse; the
fact is that the increase in divorce
means that the world Is getting bet

time is what is the cause Of the great
" increased rate Of divorce cases
First it is the increasing wealth OF
the people and their education In
years past law and lawsuits were
the privilege Of the few. The result
is that We nave a great many people
now who can afford the advantages
of the divorce court who could not il

Do not forget that the high cost OF
living, like the high cost of anything
else, means that somebody is getting
more money than he used to get.
The higher cost OF living means,
among other things, that the farmer
who used to be on the verge Of bank
Tuptcy, loaded with mortgages and
worries, is getting great deal more
than he used to get, and is happier
than ne used to be.
To emphasize the farmers poverty,
they used to say that when the farm
or ate a chicken. the chicken was
sick or the farmer was sick"
They meant that the farmer would
not eat a chicken unless he himself
were i'll, or unless the chicken was
sick" and he had to be eaten to pre-
vent it's dying and becoming total

Conditions have changed for the
farmer He now eats chickens that
