CROSSROAD STORE
PASSING; ALL FAULT
OF SINGING FLIVVER

The country crossroads grocery. is
slipping, as a result of the advent of
the mail order house and the flivver.
Baseball cartoonists and stage hui
morists put the country grocery in the
minds of the city dweller as a place
where everything from feather ticking
to silos was sold. They also painted
the grocery as place where the
"gray-beards" expounded how the gov
eminent should be run.
When the automobile first came in
to prominence, the country store en-
joyed more trade than was its wont.
1t did not take may years, however,
until the flivver made its rafting way
to the city for supplies and left the
grocery owner with nothing to do.
Mail Order Houses.
The Knockout blow was handed the
crossroads grocers by the mail order
houses.
This does not mean that the cross
roads grocery is related to the dodo
bird. Instead, some Of the finest and
most complete groceries in the coun
try can be found at the cross roads
These groceries go the old timers
one better Every thing from tooth
picks to graphone or player piano rec
ords is sold. But, the number is woe
fully less every day.

of Paterson, N. j., who was shot and
killed at Vessel by a German sentry

cident.

aspects of the case as a result of an

fined, Demott was permitted to go
out Of doors, but is said to have made
straight for the gate leading to free
dom. The sentry called upon him to
halt. and when he failed to do so,
fired.

SOLDIERS MASSED TO
KEEP BERLIN QUIET

BERLIN, April Is Government
troops were massed in the center of
Berlin last night following the return
of Herr Severing. Prussian minister
Of the interior, from the Ruhr district,
where he was sent to conduct opera
tons. Among the units assembled
were fifteen tanks, twenty armored
cars and several detachments of ma
chine gunners.
1t is presumed this military move
ment was result of rumors of new
revolt impending.
Severing ordered that the public be
barred from the quarter of the city
containing government buildings, and
Wilhelmstrasse and Inter den Lin
den were held by fully armed troops
all day yesterday.
Grave conditions are reported from
Pomerania where reactionaries are
active.

LIQUOR DEAD But
DIVORCES GO RIGHT
ON PILINC UP, UP

Was liquor responsible for the
large number Of divorce DEGREES
granted in Wayne county.
Henry u. Johnson doesn't think so,
and neither does Judge w. A. Bond.
81 haven't given the. matter much
thought, but l know divorces are as
prevalent now as they were before the
state went dry" said Mr.. Johnson.
'Incompatibility is responsible for
most divorces"
Judge Bond cites hasty entrance
into the marriage estate, lack of I'M
derstanding of the significance of the
matrimonial union. failure to grasp
the Importance of the step.
Petitions for license to wed should
be filed publicly six months before
the date of marriage" Judge Bond
said. "If petitions to obtain license
had to be filed months before the
wedding day, some marriages would
never take place. and consequently
the number of divorces would de-
crease. es-..
Rush In, Rush Out
Few give the proposition of mar
riage solemn thought. They rush
pell-mell into it. and think oh, well
I'll try 1t for awhile, and if l am not
satisfied with my mate, I'll sue for
divorce a.
The suffering inflicted upon some
wives whose husbands used liquor ex,
cessively, may have been conducive to
divorces, but the Judge believes that
hasty entrance into marriage causes
more action for legal separation OF
the martial ties than liquor ever did.
The law of Indiana providing for
limited divorces Of two years during
which time the parties cannot live
together and cannot re-mary, and at
the end of which, the case Is dropped
if 1t is not brought up again with
sufficient evidence, was described as
admirable by Judge Bond.
Law Isn't Any Good.
And yet the law is Of no particular
good because limited divorce cannot
be granted unless the suit has been
fled asking it. and no couple In the
midst Of their decision to be divorced
will file for this sort Of separation. II
Is too bad it cannot be more effective
ly used. For a little time-tWo years
of reflection, will bring around many
