'What's the Matter With Kansas"

TOPEKA, KAMA woman in KAN
i sas has equal rights with the man
and when woman is married the hus-
in order to prevent his wife securing
her rightful share. This is decision of
the Kansas Supreme court. The order
was entered in the suit of Mrs. Ida
NJ. Putnam against c. E. Putnam, de-
cided on an appeal from Miami county.
The Putnams were married In 1882.
The husband believed in the complete
subOrdination of the wife. He refused
to tell her of his business tranSac-
tions, and compelled her to practice
the most rigid economies in the house.
hold. After more than thirty-five
years of this sort Of life, mixed with
what the courts found to be an al
most continuous religious brawl be-
tween them, the wife sued for a d.
vorce and her share Of the property.
When the two were married they
had the sum total Of $7O0. At the
time the divorce action was begun
the total accumulations of the Put
nam family amounted to $176.OOO In
cash and property and six fine child
rem. Much Of this property had been
seuuestrated by the husband in order
to prevent his wife obtaining posses
sion of it. For instance: he went to
a Bible house in Chicago and deliber-
ately signed a promissory note for

Bridging the "Big Muddy at Yankton

there appeared on the Dakota side OF
the stage the beautiful figure OF
Yankton, accompanied by her group
of builders. Then, in a ringing speech,
Yankton declared her determination to
bridge the mighty Missouri and for
ever ''bless the sister states and the
regions far beyond to the north and
SOUTH" A bevy of little workers, rep.
resenting Yanktonians and those In
the wide region On both sides Of the
river among which were Sioux Falls,
Omaha. Norfolk and other cities, came
thronging in with their bags OF gold,
laying them at Yankton's feet. The
Missouri recognized the invincible
spirit that had arisen at last to curD
her power and retired from the stage
chanting a song of submission.
The building Of the bridge then
went forward, figures in Greek cos
tunes representing the piers. Upon
completion of the structure there be-
gan the grand finals, which consist
ed of the triumphant professional
across the bridge.
The actual bridging of the Mis-
souri, at YanktOn, which already has
started, is scheduled to be finished by

the resulting offspring are better. The
association bulls are Of better quality
than the ordinary run of sires private
1y owned, and their daughters are apt
to be better-producing cows.
Even this does not tell the whole
story. After an individually owned
sire has been used for about two years
1T is usually necessary to get new
one. In eight years, therefore, these
Pennsylvania farmers, II they owned
their bulls separately, would have to
provide themselves with four times
296 bulls, or 1,1S4 whereas in the bull
associations at the end Of two years
they simply move each bull to another
herd. The original SO bulls, If they
all live and do well, can be used for
the whole eight years. There is quite
a difference between the cost OF 93
bulls and that Of 1854, to say nothing
of the difference in their usefulness.

The lower court and the Supreme

they divided the property as nearly
