KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October (by
the Associated Press) ex-
IRENE cruelty and violence. Mrs.

with the death of Mrs. Hyde's uncle,
Thomas H. Swope. millionaire philan-
thropist, today filed suit for divorce

duties of a husband and has been
guilty of repeated and constant acts
of cruelty and violence toward the

the presence of the children. He has
by studied words and conduct tried
to estrange her children and her
friends from her and has exhibited
sullen, morose and cruel disposition"

The Library

Tt is evident from the annual report
of the Library association, that the
library is succeeding in spite of an
Indifferent public and that its success
is largely due to the efforts of few
untiring, public-spirited women, and
the Kennewick Womans Club.
There is no question but that the
institution is exerting considerable
influence for good in the community,
and undoubtedly that influence could
be greatly extended were more of the
citizens willing to show only meas
ure of the enthusiasm. and interest
that is shown by these few women.
Since the library is rendering dis
tinct service to the community it is
deserving of the community's sup
port.
The annual report shows that last
year the association carried MEM
bership of only thirteen. While it is
not the purpose of the association to
finance itself by means of member
ship dues, there should be large
number of citizens sufficiently inter
ested in the work of the library to
become a party to its good works to
the extent of taking memberships in
the association. Nor should the cit
izen's interest cease with the payment
of the. annual membership fee. An
occasional call at the library rooms,
talks with and suggestions offered to
the librarian and to the, directing
members of the association would I'M
doubt be fruitful of good results
For the most part the library is
patronized by the boys and girls of
the community. No father is so in
different to the welfare of his child
rem as not to be interested in the kind
of reading matter that is placed in
their hands, yet few fathers of this
community have taken the trouble
to acquire themselves with the kind OF
literature that is on the shelves OF

Sil1 Wy
Sanity in Buying

The supreme council of the peace
conference, in recent memorandum,
placed the economic situation of the
world frankly before the nations. That
memorandum states that general
wholesale prices have advanced since
A913 approximately as follows:
United States .......... 120 per cent
Great Britain ....... ITO per cent
France 300 per cent
Italy 300 per cent
Belgium 300 per cent
These, be it remembered, are the
wholesale prices. Retail prices un-
doubtedly have advanced an equal or
greater extent. The United States
has suffered less than the other IA
tions, but even at that the strain has
been severe on every ciizen. There
are many persons who declare that
prices cannot go higher. The figures
of the supreme council show conclu-
sively that the figures for this coun-
try can 60 higher. 1t is the dItv of
every American citizen so To conduct
his life that they do not go higher.
The supreme council has no magic
word with which to renew the pros
perity of mankind or to eGualize sup
ply and demand. That can he done
only by following the Urgent advice
of the. savings division of the treas
ury department, which is identical
with that of the supreme council. with
that of every clear thinking econo-
mist, business man, labor leader and
financier in the world-produce, econ
omize, save and invest safely.
