WHAT Is ALIMONYF

Looking through the papers /
find there is hardly a page on
which a divorce or separation ac-
ton does not take up space.
One case states where a man
bought and paid" for his wife,
and the woman in question does
not hesitate to make the matter
public, be it right or wrong. 1
wish some one could tell me where
the women of today keep peir
self-respect?
I'll cite my own case; I was
married eleven years when i found
that my husband admired another
woman.
or course he was sorry and ad-
mitted his mistake; begged me to
forgive him and start all over
anew.

good housekeeper and did not de-

from me-a wild goose
u gander has got us men
skinned to a frazzle"
The insistent old duck-hunter
who had scraped acquaintance with
Manners in the smoking compart-
inent slapped his thigh and re-
peated "You may take 1t from me-"
Manners had grown to like the
old fellow. He liked a great many
people in a great many walks OF
life, and his dislikes were few.
Most of the people whom he really
disiiked were people whom he did
not even know to speak to.
The old duck hunter talked a
great deal: but he was not a
bosster. He was interesting, too.

Y.M.C.A. Boys
Camp VIII Be
On Elk Lake

After search of three months
A. e. Yount interstate boys Sec
retary of the Y. M. c. A. has Sc
lected Elk Lake as the summer
camping place for boys of all the
Marion county and Willamette
valley associations, and if nothing
prevents, will establish it there
June 81, closing July 5.
The lake is IL miles from De-
troit at the foot of Mt. Jefferson,
and can only be reached by an old
rangers trail up through the for
ests. Supplies must be taken up
by pack horses, and the distance to
the camp is good days hike.
First class leadership is assured
for boys. Mr.. Yount, himself, who
has had a great deal of experience
in such outings, having conducted
camps in Montana, is to be camp
director and will have able assis-
tance of H. X. Ghormaley, county
Y. M. G. A. secretary to assist.
The boys will have an oppor-
tunity to swim. fish, and learn a
great deal about life in the woods
for it is the plan to have every
thing under canvas with the idea
OF giving the boys chance to
enjoy real camp life. There is
space for an athletic field which
will undoubtedly be used. If the
camp is a success this year it will
be made permanent.
Each boy will have to furnish
his own blankets, though beds will
be furnished. The cost per week
for each boy will be $3.50. A first
class chef from Portland is guar
anteed by the officers in charge.

Lloyd George Reiterates
Attitude Toward SiIesia;
- French Newspapers Hit

London. May 1S.-Prime Min
lister Lloyd George issued state
ment today reiterating the British
attitude towards the Upper Siles-
ian question expressed by him in
his recent speech in the house OF
commons and discIaiming respon-
sibility for the distorted reports
In the French newspapers.
In the course Of the statement
he said:
"The fate OF Upper Silesia must
be decided by the supreme council
and not by Korfanty."
He continued:

must place restraining hand on
them; otherwise there will be con-

Great Britain cannot consent
to stand by while the treaty her
representatives signed less than
two years ago is being trampled
upon"
The prime minister's statement
began as follows:
Il adhere to the statement I
made in the house of commons on
the subject Of Silesia. Naturally

ports in the French newspapers.

Halsey, Or, May 1S.-The mar
ket road between Irish Bend ferry
and Halsey is almost assured, ac-
cording to reports. At a meeting
held some time ago it was decided
that Lake Creek community raise
$1,000 to match a like amount
raised by the Halsey people. 1t is
said that the $4,000 has practical
ly been subscribed, thus making
the probability of the proposed
market road almost certainty.

miles long from the Irish Bend

Reward of $500
Posted for Frasier

Eugene, Or, May 1S.-W. c.
Becktell, private citizen of Port

ty court for reward of $500 said
to have been out for the appre-
hension OF E. J. Frasier, Eugene
realty man who twas caught by
Becktell in Portland a few days
ago.
The trial was conducted in Ben
ton county, but was paid for by
Lane county, and if there is re-
ward Lane county will have to pay
for it, according to the Judge. The
county would take the money from
the forfeited bond that was put
up Frasier by friends and rela-
tives, he continues.

opinion. which does not coincide
with their own as an impertinence
is fraught with mischief. That
attitude OF mind il persisted in
will bef atal to any entente.
"The stand taken by the Brit
ish, American and Italian public
ON the Silesian question ought not
to be offensive to France. They
stand by the treaty of Versailles.
They mean to apply the terms Of
the treaty justly, whether they
hapent be for or against Ger
many.
Restraint Necessary.
''The fate Of Upper Silesia must
be decided by the supreme coun-
Gil and not by Korfanty. Children
Of the treaty cannot be allowed to
break crockery in Europe with
impunity. Somebody must place a
restraining hand on them; ther-
wise there will be continual trou-
BILE.
"The course of the world in the
coming years cannot be forecast.
The mists ahead are more than
usually dense. Much will depend
upon the allies holding together.
Apart from treaty obligations,
events which cannot be foreseen
must determine the future group
ings of the nations and the future
OF the world, and especially Of
Europe, will be determined by old
or new friendships.
Under these circumstances, the
treaty of Versailles Is document
of infinite moment--especially to
the nations of the entente. II
binds us together when there is so
much to divide us. Those who
treat its provisions as il they were
the sport OF passion and prejudice
may not have to live long to regret
their hot headedness."

intelligence told us that ne believed
President Harding was going to get
his "rake-Off" from the millions Gen.
Dawes is expected to save with his
budget plan. A few minutes later an
other man, slightly older and also of
fair intelligence, expressed his belief
that the president had received money
for his part in recent piece OF leg
islation. A few days later another
man remarked that Gov. Len Small of
Illinois, likely was guilty of the crime
for which he was indicted, 'but the
rest of the governors are just as bad
if they were found out
These remarks are typical of a
growing feeling that doubts the ex-
istence of honest men in public Offices.
1t is an ominous sign in our politics.
1t is the result of many years of loose,
unintelligent gossip about public men
and public affairs by our political
speakers and by our newspapers. A
man accused of murder is presumed
innocent until proven guilty, and he
is given q fair trial. We have been
treating our public officials worse
than the men we've indicted for muir
der just as soon as man has been
honored by election to public Of
flee a large part of the population has
not hesitated to believe him a crook
or even a common CRATER. Evidence
has not been required; and no trial
before Intelligent public opinion has
been given. They have treated this
republics servants worse than we've
two n1 i1ITi 7baU in
dicted for murder.
There should be the greatest free
dom of discussion and Of criticism in
| this country. But if this young re-
pubic is to live there must be a re-
versal of sentiment regarding our Of
fci2ls. Unless there is, those who are
! our children today will grow up with
the distorted belief that to succeed i'll
politics man must be a crook and a
| CRATER
The average man is said to be honest
! The men we select for office are ajbove
the average, all cheap slurs to the
contrary notwithstanding They are
above the average in intelligence, in
honesty, i'll patriotism. Some turn out
| to be crooks-and hanging is too good
! for them. But the mcjority are hon
est and we'll intentioned. To believe
the contrary is to woefully deceive
oneself To loosely talk about our
high officials being grafters and com
mon crooks is to spread the most
deadly poison that can be turned loose
in American politics.

WILLOW VALLEY PHILOSOPHY.

(From the Richland Democracy
Several water melon raids have
been pulled off in this region in re-
cent weeks, but the perpetrators were
only amateurs and made a bungling
job Of it. In fact they were foolish
enough to get caught in few in
stances. We wonder if fifty years
from now they will tell their grand
| sons, They never did such things
when | was boy"
A few old crabs have already be-
gun their swan song regarding our
fair This is the refrain, "a money
making scheme; a place to spend
money; it won't amount to anything,
and other such rot. At the same time
! those some old curmudgeons are
| planning to go themselves, but they
! have a reason for their whining
! They wish to console their wives and
| children to the idea of staying at
home, while they the old skinfints,
will slip away and attend themselves.
The writer has heard their lament
ations before, and invariably find
them at the fair, but the rest of the
family were left at home. They think
they arc foxy, but they are as plain to
read as a bill board.
Trying to put an old mans head
on a boys shoulders, just calls to
mind this fact A man in this region
got into a row with his boy because
the lad played ball on Sunday. Forty
years ago that same parent went to
every ball game within ten miles of
his home. He played in the games
too and would yell so loudly that he
could be heard q mile away Now
he's raising a ruckus with his son for
doing the same thing. Hes another
one of those old hypocrites who is
wont to say, 'They didn't act that
way when l was a boy" One thing
sure: If a youth never does any
thing worse than take part in clean
game of ball, Sunday at that, he need
not worry about what he will get in
Uncle Peters" court.
Here is a good one and we hand it
over to our readers: One man of this
region is some ball sport He attends
all games within a reasonable dis
lance and does not scruple to back up
his judgment by wagering a few
bucks on the game. Last Sunday he
was present at the r. C.-Boscobel
game when a Boscobelian shook a five
under his nose and dared him to come
across. He went to running through
his pockets and in his search found a
V in his vest pocket with which he
lost no time in covering the chal-
lenger's money, and in so doing won
five dollars. When he got home his
wife said, with much nervousness
did you find five dollar bill in your
vest pocket? If you did, it is mine,
for l put it there" With the in
nocent face of an angel he drew forth
the bills and gave his wife one, when
she said, 81 don't see what makes you
so foolish to carry money loose in
your pocket that way" He gazed at
his wife with wise look and said
well dear, l didn't lose any this
time, that's sure" And the wife is
still wondering why he has been so
pleasant ever since

Curiosity and Study.

Curiosity is passion very favorable
to the love of study, and passion very
susceptible of increase by cultivation.
Sound travels so many feet second,
and light travels SO many feet in Sec
ond. Nothing more probable; but you
do not care how light and sound travel.
Very likely; but make yourself care ;
get up, shake yourself WELL pretend to
care; make believe to care, and very
soon you will care. am sure that a
man ought to read as he would grasp

Tested; grasp it with all your strength
and you feel none of its asperities.
