SEEMINGLY NO AGE LIMIT

There Ia no age limit to divorce. In
Oregon woman at the age Of eighty
two years is suing for decree from
her husband, who is callow STRIPPING
Of seventy.one summers. This seems
to be another case Of too much mother
in.law, as the wife asserts that her
husbands love has been alienated and
undermined through the work Of his
mother, who is now ninety-four years
old and who never did like her, any
how. They have been married some
ten years now. and the wife said that
when the, husband took her money to
buy an auto for his mother and
wouldn't let his wife ride IN IL, she
knew that his love was dead. When
she demonstrated the husband coldly
informed her that she could leave the
house. When the wife said that the
home was her own and bought with
her own money the husband replied
that might be 90, but he had thought
fully had the decd recorded in his own
name Now she has to appeal to the
courts. 1t is rather rough when q
bride OF eighty-two has to compete
with ninety-four-year-old mother-in-
law for tke affections Of her husband.

Cannon has gone right ahead eating

Consequently the eighty-three-year-
old statesman waits each year for the

just as soon as the ripe ones begin to
arrive Uncle Joe may be seen sticking
a big chunk Of something red into his
mouth. Sometimes he goes at 1t "cooIi
fashion" and plays a solo with his lips
on a long, red slice. throwing away
such implements as knives and forks.

EnglIah Women Buying Farms.

Women in England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces in rather conspicuous num-
bers. And this is all an outcome Of
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen.
eral feeling is that there will not be
much room for the common female
farm laborer as time advances, but for
the woman who has little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fession and her life work there is ex-
cellent opportunity in this direction.
In the first place, on account Of tho
compact location Of the garden spaces
and the cities In England transporta-
tion Of foodstuffs is easy. Then gar
den truck and flowers do grow abun-
dainty and profusely there, and always
find ready markets.

First Penny Postage Trial
Inaugurated in England In
1840-Long After in Canada

The first trial Of cheap postage was
the system OF penny postage inaugu-
rated in England January 10 1910.
The idea that letters could be for
warded TO any part OF England and
delivered for only a penny seemed
absurd 10 most Engllshmen. and they
predicted speedy failure for the proi-
ect. IL is unnecessary TO point out
that they proved 10 be poor prophets.
observes a writer In the New York
World.
On this side Of the Atlantic the
much greater distances seemed 10 pre-
clude the adoption Of any such meas
ure as a low. HAT rate for letters. Al
the time Great Britain adopted penny
postage. the rates In the United States
were: For 30 miles and under.
cents; 80 to 60 miles. cents. CD IN
100 miles. 10 cents. and over 100
miles a proportionate increase, SO that
a letter dispatched a distance OF 40
miles cost - cents
With the adoption Of Rowland Hnrs
penny postage system. England also
adopted his suggestion that the diff
culties attending prepayment of post
age might be overcome by using a
bit OF paper large enough to bear the
stamp. and covering the back with n
glutinOus wash. which by applying a
little moisture. might be attached 10
the back Of the letter" Thus the
postage stamp was born. and there
came into existence those little scraps
OF paper which are now collected by
millions OF men and boys the world
over. and some OF which. because OF
their rarity. are worth thousands OF
dollars.
An approach 10 the penny postage
OF Great Britain was made In 1851.
when Scent postage was adopted In
the United States. Adhesive postage
stamps had previously been introduced
on this side OF the Atlantic in 1917.
Later postage was reduced 10 cents
In the United States In 1883, but IL
was not until some years later that
Canada followed the example OF her
mother country by instituting the
penny postage.
