Hawkins seeing that the ami

would drown without help,
swan III To them and attempted
to cut away the rigging to free
them, but his hands were DO
numbed so that he could not

WHY DID MARY "cAN" MOORE?

Mary Pickford, who is habit
with movie fans, and pretty good
habit at that. relates TO the Los
Angeles Times her reasons for di-
vorcing her husband. The reasons
will not be apparent TO the average
untemperamental wife for Mary
says:
ct sought a divorce because !
wanted to be free. Mr., Moore is a
there are many instances when even
two genial persons can not agree.
"Mr. Moore certainly did not re-
ceive any sum of money from me
with the request that he refuse to
contest the suit. Such a thought had
never entered my mind, for ! knew
Mr.. Moore Is a gentleman. one who
would not permit such a thought to
enter his mind. AS ! have said, no
previous plans were made TO secure
the divorce. But after the decree
was granted me 7 regarded it as a
sacred matter. or no interest to any
one but myself"
She says she isn't going to marry
again, Doug. Fairbanks or another,
She happened 70 go out into a little
town to rest up and It occurred to
her that this would be fine time
to get divorce while she was rest
ing. So she got it. Just like that.
Tut, tut. Mary. It doesn't sound
just right. The explanation fails to
explain. Most women In possession
Of a charming and genial husband,
also a perfect gentleman would figure
on hanging on to him even If they
disagreed in little minor matters.
Why Mary, those little disagree
ments are the elixir of iron, quinine
and strychn!a Of married life They're
a tonic. Usually they keep folks
from getting blamed sick OF each
other. Ask any, OF Us old married
people.
However Mary Is in line with the
period. It's the spirit of the age
Some folks trade in their autos after
year and get new one. Some
have the old one reprinted. Times
have changed since folks took hus-
bands and wives until death did
them part and expected to wear out

Ter wagon before they got another.

believed Messrs. Files and McCreight
for practical reasons, should be elect
ed: that few men in any walks of
life here are as well fitted to assume
the duties which will fall to them.
Further than that they felt them
selves forced to the defensive by the
campaign waged in mass formation
by the leaders Of organized labor
which clearly had for its great object
the establishment of control Of the
public affairs Of Fort Dodge by their
group.
The minority had an advantage
thru its skillful. compact organiza-
ton which has been building for a
long time. and In the evident loyalty
of most of the union members to the
plans OF their leaders.
This paper has deplored the bring

management. We do not believe it
will continue always because we are
sure that there is no proper dividing
line thru separation in groups. There

which makes all share in the benefits

But n wave OF feeling has spread
over the country which is pressing
the labor issue into new fields. The
policy of Samuel Gompers of holding
aioof from separate political parties
and using the balance OF power to
advantage "by rewarding their
friends and debating their enemies
is being thrown into the discard and
Samuel Gompers may soon land
there himself.
There will be q national labor
party in the presidential campaign
this year and there will be a Fort
Dodge branch Of that party. The
leaders will not differ materially from
those who forced the issue that was
foremost in the school election. They
have little reason to feel discouraged
over the outcome because of this
election, altho of course they will
