HIS SUCCESS PROVES TRAGIC
New York Man Tells Supreme Court
Justice In Divorce Case Wealth
Brought Him Unhapplness.

New York.-Joseph Shimansky told
Supreme Court Justice Cropsey that
wealth brought him unhappiness. He
opposed the application of his wife,
Mrs. Fannie Schimansky. for alimony
and counsel fee pending the trial Of
her suit for separation.
o Both Schimansky and his wife are
aged fifty-four. They have five chill
dren. Two daughters were married,
one to lawyer and one to a physi-
clan, and two were theatrical design
ers earning from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year apiece, according to the affidavit
of Schimansky.
1.-THE Bement avenue house was
bought against my Wishes" he said.
II had seen my children grow up and
develop talents 1 could neither appre-
ciate or understand. My wife crayed
social advancement and the Bement
avenue house was one of the means
therefor.
MY children came in contact with
different class of people than I had
been accustomed to associate with.
They brought these people to this
large and magnificent house. /, not
knowing the usages of polite society,
became an encumbrance to the plain
tiff and her daughters. I finally be-
came a stranger In my own home"
Schimansky said that at last he was
ordered out of the house altogether.
Now, he said, he lives In furnished
room and eats in restaurants.

ON THE JOB.

The Sun is glad to publish i'm this is
sue the principal points Of the argu-
ment made by L. S. senator John b.
Kendrick before the Interstate Com
merce Commission last week in oppos-
ing the granting of the petition of the
Morse Brothers Company for permits
sion to abandon the Saratoga x En-
campment railroad.
We would be equally pleased to re-
produce the plea of Attorney l.. Il.
Armstrong, who was sent to washing
ton by the Platte Valley people to rep
resent them at the hearing, but the
text of his argument is not available.
Neither have We n copy of the brief
sent in by Congressman Mondell. who
was unable to he in Washington at the
time of the hearing. However. it is
safe to say that both of these gentle
men did their best for us and that
their arguments had their effect in
bringing about Il desirable solution Of
a matter which was of vital Importance
to the Platte Valley and its people.
While few of the blindIy partisan
newspapers of Wyoming have been fair
enough to give Senator Kendrick any
mention whatever in connection with
the railroad herring. readers of The
Sun this week will realize that we had
an able champion in the person of the
Junior senator, who was the only mem
Der of the Wyoming delegation to APP
pear ut the hearing in person. His
argument was n strong one. and in IL
spirit of fair play we are inclined o
give Senator Kendrick "A liberal share
of the credit.

There have beer no important de-
velopments in the local oil fields the

of weeks ago by the Southwest Petru-
leum Company was set up ON section
3O-1S-So. ON the extreme north end
of the Pick Springs Company's land.
and the JOO-foot hole required to hold
the land under lease was put down in
record time. 1t is said the company
has until November l to spud in on the
~3,OO0-foot hole which it is expected to
drill. and all local parties interested
are sanguine that this company will
make good on II thorough test of the
field before they suspend operations.

socialistic organization of the north
west. Gov. Frazier was first elected
in 1916. and was reelected last No
vember by Il plurality of less than
5000. The financial troubles of the
state banks in the past year and the
failure of the Frazier administration
to establish or run the proposed sys-
TEN of state elevators and packing
houses successfully, partly because of
the inability of the state. to borrow
money in the east, have strengthened
greatly the forces of opposition to the
entire regime.
In view of the smallness of Frazier's
plurality last fall, and the growing
hostility of the people t. his admins
tration during the hard times, North
Dakota may see Il real return to NOR

return of "normalcy" must be by the

liquidation has been more severe prob
ably than in any other line of bust
ness. And WHY'S light has made its
sweeping price reduction in order that
the farmers dollar will have the same
purchasing power as of old, at least
in so far as WHY'S light is concerned.
For the time being, the reduction in
price means the production and sale of
WHY'S light at a loss. The WHY'S light
division believes it is its duty to ac-
cept the loss entailed at this time in
order that it may play a certain, defi-
mite part in bringing about readjust-
ment and quick return to a new normal
of business.
The best business authorities in the
nation concede that business will not
be on a permanent, sound basis until
the readjustment has become fully eff
fective. WHY'S light is simply direct
ing its activities to bring that read
justment to an end as soon as possible
The reduction makes WHY'S light
with its many exclusive features, such
as the WHY'S knight sleeve valve en-
CINE, and its so advantages, available
for the farmer at a price entirely in
keeping with the spirit of the times
and In keeping with the sacrifices
which farmers have made in the last
few months
