Then they, too, try it out. If not sat
isfied, they go to Judge, tell few
narrowing stories, possibly a few lies,
and are legally authorized to go out
and try again with other mates.
Very simple, isn't it?
Not so much difference between civ
ilization and savagery, is there?
We look down upon and pity the
poor savage in his ignorance and SUI
perstition.
We contribute large sums that he
may become civilized" and in line for
our own particular line of debauchery.
In our superior bigotry we chroni-
Gle the shortcomings of inferior races,
unmindful of the fact that morality
in some of those countries is far in ad-
vance of our own.
Without doubt there are occasions
upon which divorce is preferable from
a moral standpoint to longer living to-
gether.
But unquestionably a large percent
age of divorces are granted upon finn
sy excuses and perjured testimony.
If the party at fault is such an ac-
ton We're forbidden to ever marry a
gain we might have fewer divorces
and a greater number of reasonably
contented homes.
If people could be brought to realize
that the remedy is sometimes worse
than the disease they might be Undue

best Of a bad bargain.
Civilized morality is lettering in
the balance, with the scales fitting in
the wrong way.

HOLSTEIN CLUB

The Holstein Breeders in the vicin-
ity of Milladore gathered at Geber's
Hall last Thursday and with the as

ing to do with the seeds of the COM
munity relative to it's livestock inter-
ests touching upon pure-bred sires,
females for foundation stock, tubercu-
losis eradication, sale of cattle and
local Holstein picnic in the summer.
The Calf Club proposition was also
discussed and prospects for the de-
velOpment of a Milladore Club were
excellent.
The next meeting will be held in
Geber's Hall in Milladore at 7:3O P.
NJ. on Thursday, April 18th.

ANI)SAVAGERY

The prevalence of divorces in 'civ-
ilized" countries is becoming a peril
to the morality Of the Caucasian race.
In certain savage country a wom-
an goes and lives with a man year
or two con trial" If both are salts
fed they then are married according
to the regular tribal custom. If they
are sot satisfied with each other, they
go their separate ways and try again
with other mates.
In civilization" it is slightly differ
ent. They go to minister and have a
few words said over their bowed heads.
