HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
STUDY DIVORCE In u. S.
United States Has Higher Divorce
Rate Than Any Country in the
World Except Japan

Marriage and divorce laws and
conditions in Minnesota and other
states were taken up by the students
of Miss Elsa Klippstein's class in So
cial problems at the high school last
week. Almost two thirds of the pop
ulation of the United States fifteen
years of age and over are married
according to the data found by the
students in their study. The United
States has higher divorce rate than
any country in the world except
Japan.
The marriage rate in the United
States has tended to increase rather
than decrease. The proportion mar
ried is slightly larger than that in
most European countries. The pro-
fessional classes have a tendency to
marry at later age and the other
classes to wed at an earlier age ac-
cording to the statistics studied. In
this country there are almost as
many different marriage codes as
there are states in the union.
Our divorce rate is three times
that of France, FIVE times that of
Germany, ten times that of Norway
and Sweden and about thirty times
that of Great Britain and Ireland.
Divorce in the United States is in
creasing three times as fast as the
population. One out of every twelve
marriages in the United States and
one out of every six marriages in
Minneapolis end in divorce. Statis-
tics show according to Miss Klipp-
stein that two thirds of the divorces
are granted to wives. The separa-
tion took place within two years of
married life in one fourth of all the
divorces granted, it was found.
South Carolina is the only state in
the union that grants no divorces.
The change in our industrial life
which have lessened the economic
interdependence of husband and wife
and the changed status of woman
which has made her legally and econ
omically are given as some of the
| causes of the increase. Fifty per
cent more girls than boys are gradu-
ating from high schools today. A
reaction against the customs. and
conditions of the past and the tend
ency to educate the youth away from
the influences of home were thought
to be other causes in the frequent
disruption in American home life.
Neither the boy or the girl stays at
home enough to learn of the respon-
sibilities of home making.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
PRESENT CLASS PLAY
Nothing But the Truth" Three Act
Comedy Given at Orpheum To-
night and Tomorrow Night

Nothing But the Truth by
James Montgomery will be presented
by the senior class of the Morris high
school at 8:15 tonight and tomorrow
night at the Orpheum theatre. 1t
is a three act comedy with clever
dialogue and many amusing situa-
tions.
James .Cosgrove will take the part
of Bob Bennett who tries to tell the
truth on bet for twenty-four hours.
There is a good deal of social satire
in the unconventional replies he is
forced to make because of his wager.
Who unless he had ten thousand
dollars at stake would have the
heart to tell a pretty girl she sings
terribly and has an ugly dress. Bob
Bennett gets out of situations like
these pretty well, but the great diff
Guilty begins when he falls in love.
The audience enjoys it immensely
when the girl he loves questions him
about his past, for he is forced to
reveal many things most lovers
would leave hidden, among them the
fact that he had loved other girls
before he met her.
The class play is always great
event in the high schol year. The
players with Miss Alice V. Hotchkiss
as coach have been working hard
for weeks on their parts and friends
expect great things of them. Those
who think they have gone twenty
fours without telling lie may be
disillusioned when they see Nothing

Weather and Crops

The fine weather for outdoor work
was spoiled on Wednesday with a
shower in the forenoon, and on
Thursday by soaking rain. Spring
work in the fields is being delayed
accordingly, altho the bulk of the

Wheat sown during the fine wealth

A. CARLSON SEVERELY
BURNED BY LIVE WIRE
Receives $500 Volts of Electricity
Through Heels Through Contact
With Live Cut Out Box

Arthur Carlson was badly burned
on the heels on Tuesday when ne
received $500 volts of electricity
through the heels while fixing wire
at Hancock. He was working on the
transformer pole opposite the Wilcox
residence, and had pulled the fuse in
the cut out box thinking that he had
opened the circuit for the box was
disconnecting switch. But the wire
was still alive, for the cut out box
had been bridged over by his brother
William Carlson last summer and the
box left in place. He had killed the
line before by simply pulling the
fuse, so did not notice the bridge.
He had climbed the pole, fastened
his safety belt and was reaching for
the wire when some part of his body
touched the cut out box and closed
circuit was made to the ground
through his feet. The force OF the
shock doubled him up and thus re-
leased the part Of his body touching
the box. Fortunately his safety belt
held him in place, so that ne was not
thrown from the pole.
A large green arc was thrown ana
both of his heels were severely
burned. Had he been able to grasp
the wire he was reaching toward, he
would undoubtedly have been burned
to death according to Russell Baker
of the Otter Tail Power company,
for his muscles would have been con-
tracted by the curernt and he would
never have been able to loosen his
hold. Young Carlson received the
current only in his heels. Though
he will be cripped for some time II
is considered that he had a very
lucky escape.

1921: Cattle 1900. Steers weak to
25c lower. Butcher she stock fully
steady. Calves 21OO. Mostly 25c

5000. Market steady. Range $3.50
to $8.75, bulk $7.75 to $8.75. Top
pigs $3.50. Sheep 100. Market
strong.
Prices of live cattle reflect the
narrow demand existing at the pres
ent time for the dressed product, and
any increase in receipts quickly re-
suits in lower prices. Beef steers of
a good grade, which are the best
coming at present, have been on
hand in liberal numbers yesterday
and today and have declined Is to
SOC, and practical packer top for
these is $500. Packer buyers gave
that price in Mondays late trade for
26 head of branded white faces,
averaging around 100 lbs. Price
range of beef steers is $6.25 to $500,
with the bulk selling from $3.50 to
$3.50. Seasonally scarce offerings of
butcher she stock have sold at fully
steady prices. A few scattering
sales of good and choice butcher COWS
and heifers are being made from
$6.75 to $3.50, with common and
medium grades from $3.50 to $3.50.
Most of the thin young COWS on the
Gamer and cutter order are selling
to country buyers for feeding pur-
poses at present, prices ranging from
$500 to $4.25. A few of the worst
old shells are going to packers as low

airy session will be held early next
week to record the agreement on ma
val ratio.
The hour devoted by the conference
to the four power treaty constituted
memorable chapter in the history
of diplomacy. Assembled about the
big green table in Continental Hall,
thanked by their advisers and by gal
leries packed with the notables of
many nations, the plenipotentiaries
expressed their realization OF the i'm
port of the new International align
ment
Viviani Is Eloquent
Senator Lodges address was deliv-
cred with an emphasis which kept del
egates and spectators hanging on his
every word. Rene Viviani. war pre-
mier of France, voicing the devotion
OF his government to peace and con-
cord, rose to passage so eloquent that
although he spoke in French, the hall
was swept repeatedly by applause.
In the clear style SO strongly char
acteristic of British oratory, A. ]. Bal
four related why Great Rritain was
ready to lay aside her alliance with
Japan to accept a place in a broader
circle OF friendly nations, and Prince
Tokugawa, speaking for Japan. sum-
med in a few sentences the gratifica-
tion of his country at the turn OF af-
fairs.
Applause from delegates greeted
Senator Lodges delineation of the
new treaty as an agreement based on
good faith. with no military or naval
sanction" lurking in the background.
. Repeatedly, he was applauded as he
went on to declare that a new day of
international understanding had
made "this great experiment" posi-
BILE, and to appeal Ito the men and
women of the nations to help us sus-
tain it in spirit and in truth" When
he finished, the handciapping contin-
ued for more than a minute.
NJ Viviani recounted the sufferings
of his people in the war to emphasize
their devotion to instruments Of
peace. France, he added, would be
ready always to keep her word and
although she knew the price of con-
flict, would not hesitate to "seal with
blood" any agreement into which she
entered.

the majority Of the four powers shall
so determine. 1t is an enIangiing al
lance against our friends, the Chi
nese, and against our friends, the
Russians. 1t has all the iniquities of
Article X of the league of nations and
none of its virtues, if indeed that ar
ticle possessed any virtues.
DenounGes Proposals
81 will never give my consent to
submit any question vital to the
United States to the arb1trament of
a tribunal in which we have one vote
out of four, particularly when all the
foreign powers are very likely to have
interests in common and those in
terests inimicable to the United
States. Moreover, 1 will never give
any consent that the vote of Japan
shall ever determine an American
policy. l can never give my consent
to a treaty by which three foreign
powers outvoting the United States,
can call on us to sacrifice the blood
of our sons and our treasures in con-
troversies thousands of miles from
our shores.
THE proposed treaty is, in my
judgment, treacherous, reasonable
and damnable. 1t will be repudiat-
ed by the American people when it
is understood. This conference was
call for the alleged purpose of agree
ing on limitation of armament and,
therefore, met with the good will of
all lovers of peace and of America,
but it has Matched an adder's egg. If
il Is sanctioned by President Harding,
then he has repudiated all his public
declarations during the campaign
The American people in due course
will know how to deal with that kind
of perfidy."
Senator Sterling, Republican, Soutf
Dakota, predicted the vote for ratifi-
cation would be overwhelming"
THE treaty marks a great step
forward" he said. 1T does not pro-
vide for an alliance and does
cripple us. We have removed consid-
cradle danger by entry into this TIRE
~ because our insular possessions
might become subjects to serious
disputes"

ratio, but on all other issues. A Brit
ish statesman went so far tonight as
to characterize today's session as
practically the breakup of the con-
ference" so far as major considera-
lions are concerned.
One of the first impulses of some
senators was to compare and con-
trast the treaty with the league of
nations covenant.
By an Official American spokes-
man, it was pointed out that a feature
of the league covenant is omitted
from the four power peace agree
ment. In Article X of the league of
nations, the members agreed to re
spect and preserve each others ter
ritorial integrity" but in the new
treaty, the pledge is to respect" ter
ritorial rights in the Pacific.
Omission of the guarantee to pre-
serve" the integrity of foreign ma
tions is declared by the American
delegates to constitute an all-impor-
tant distinction between an alliance
aid a compact for peaceful solution
of future controversies.
IN presenting IHe treaty, SENATOR
Lodge said it had been accepted by
the United States subject to salts
factory conclusion of the negotiations
proceeding over zap, and also with
reservations relative to the inundated
islands south of the equator.
Mandate Views Unchanged
1t was explained by American
spokesmen later that the attitude OF
the American government upon the
mandates has been in no way m
fled by the treaty.
The conference also gave form"
approval of several resolutions on
Chinese problems adopted by the Far
Eastern committee of the whole. Tho
four points of Elihu Root, the declar-
alton on extraordinarily and Z
agreements relative to China's neu-
tral'-y and future treaties affecting
her were included in the resolutions
spread formally on the records.
Although the plenary session occu-
pied the attention of the delegates
until afternoon, the Japanese and Chi
nase met and reported considerable
progress in the Shantung negotia-
tions. Next week, the Far Eastern

tions and it is r-<sfble another plan

the associations of 20 years, he con-
tinued, were not easily broken, and
that break was compensated only by
the merging of the old relationship
into one of broader import that would
bring satisfaction to every part of
the empire.
"All Japan" Prince Tokugawa said
would likewise rejoice of the new
arrangement" although, he added,
the Japanese reciprocated the British
expressions of appreciation over re-
suits Of the old alliance. Represen-
tatives of the other nations confined
themselves to simple declarations or
approval except in the case of China,
Minister SEE adding that it was to be
supposed the treaty would supple
ment a further convention to which
all the powers, including China, will
be parties"
In outlining the scope of the four
power agreement, the speakers en-
phasized that it is to apply only to
the Pacific islands and in no way to
China or any other part of the Asia
tic mainland. In the view Of some
American delegates. it applies not on
ly to Hawaii, which American naval
authorities always have regarded as
a part of the American mainland be-
cause it is a vortex of the Pacific
defensive triangle" but also to all
of the islands which make up the Jap
anese empire
A British spokesman said that al
though the Japanese group was to be
regarded as within the provisions OF
the treaty, those belonging to The
Netherlands were not to be consider
ed as coming under the agreement,
because the government was not a
party to it. In the same way, this
spokesman said, the minor islands un
der Chinese sovereignty lay outside
the treaty stipulations.
