 Men from all over the western country who found difficulty in getting wives have written Rev. MT. Savidge for assistance. And women from everywhere, especially east of the Mississippi, have appealed to the parson to get them husbands out in the west.
 But in the last year or so there has been a change in the character of the demands" Some of the parsons matches have gotten into the divorce courts. The brides have demurred about going out on the farms and ranches. They want mil lionaires. They want to stay in the cities. They don't want to get be- yond the reach of the theatres and the movies and the white lights in general.
 Even those who want farmer-hus. bands want it distinctly understood that they must have automobiles anc servants-especially servants.
