The Burning Question Is, What Is q Husband WOrth?'

HUSBANDS are not like pork ribs lard, bales of cot AA ton bushels of wheat Husbands vary in val ues Some are worth and others held less highly There exact market quotations on husbands such finds in the produce market, the stock exchange the board of trade It s therefore rather difficult to that New York woman who wants to know
 How much is a husband worth to any woman?
 But for her benefit little investigation of the subject will be undertaken. The dispatches are under consideration First: Woman in Des Molnes, Ia offers dispose of her husband for the trflng sum of 5000 T don't want him any more so sell him. she informed attorney she asked to complete the sale. And she had buyer at that price.
 That, seemingly would fix the husband price at $5, 900. But
 Miss Amy OConnor has filed suit against Allen Grey Evansville Ind, asking for $500,000 because she alleges Grey refused to become her husband after promising to do. Obviously Miss Amy valued Il husband like Grey at half a million dollars
 Possibly that is the top quotation for husbands in the matrimonial markets.
 The range of husband prices, then, appears to hover between $5O0O and $50000O. Before you, being a married man. place your value at the large figure, please bear this in mind: It married woman who set the $5 900 mark for husbands and it mere girl, inexperienced in husband valuations, who placed the price of husbands at the half million mark. Possibly husband is more valuable before you get him.

COMMUNICATION,
"LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE"

LEI WELL ENOUGH ALONE"
Editor Banner:
A few lines to the general voting
public relative to present conditions
as to the financial welfare OF all
classes of people.
In the first place, conditions that
are favorable to the working man or
woman are conceded by all intelli-
gent thinking people to be good for
all classes that tend to make up
neighborhood, municipality, county,
county, state or union.
would like to call to the attention
OF the general voting public condi-
tions OF today In comparison to con-
ditions OF eight years ago.
How many working men eight years
ago owned their own homes?
How many working eight years ago
owned an automobile to use for trans
pOrtation to and from his work and
for the purpose of entertainment for
himself and family?
How many working men eight
years ago had plaster on his home
In the form of mortgage that today
not only have that plaster removed
and some money in the bank, but
perhaps an automobile besides?
Referring to another class, how
many business men, we will say even
nj hn n nf
the present administration, could af-
ford an automobile delivery wagon to
take care of the delivery end of his
business, and Buick, Hudson or an
Olds six besides to use personally for
pleasure to himself and family?
Yet you will find among these two
mentioned classes, as well as among
many other classes that are prosper.
ing Just as well, those who express
discomfort.
Now, my dear. readers OF this ar.
ticle, whether this shoe fts you or
whether 1t squeezes your ingrown
nails, cOrns and bunions to an un
bearable extent, make up your mind
that you are one OF the American
race, whose characteristics and hu
man nature are those of occasional
discomfort, no matter how prosperous
you may be.
Come out OF It and wake up to the
fact that II IL to your interest fol
both present and future to 20 to the
polls next Tuesday. take your famil,
along and instruct them to vote Il
retain present working conditions
and you will have nothing to regret
whether the present administration II
upheld by the results of the coming
election or not.
