One Out of Every Three
 Marriages Fail

Pine Bluff, May 23.-In Jefferson county one marriage out of every three for the past 10 years has ended
 in 8 divorce, according to statistics compiled by local newspaper men
 For the past 15 years, ending Apr .30, 1922, there have been 12153 mar riage licenses issued in the county. 4.074 diTorees granted. or 33.2 dfyor- ces for each 19j marriages. The lust land last years of the period do ao. gay greatly in 5he ratio of divelaes and licenses. In 1913. the first faI year tabulated, the ratio was 8. ont divorce for each 100 marriages. The year 1915 was the lowest during the entire period, being 226 to 100 The next lowest period was 1918, the ratio being 30.9 to 100. The year 1919. which was the boom year. reached lthe highest point in Jefferson county in the issuance of marriage licenses
 land the granting of divorces. The
 ratio that year was 36.1 to loo. The Iratio in the first four months of 1922 was 29.1 to 100. December and Janu- ,ary lead all months in the matter of weddings and subsequent dissolu- tions. It appears from the statistics that Cupid's work in December was lcounteracted by the divorce court in Hanuary. Strangely, again the statis-
 ics show that Jefferson county peo- ble show very little inclination to-
 yard contracting connubial bliss in
 Nly and August. The statistics also
 low that July and August have been
 rked by a very low divorce record
 for the past 10 years.

OFFICE MANAGER BE-
 GINS NIS WORK
G. N. Lee to Have Charge of Records Of Arkansas Cotton Growers
 Association.

Little Rock, May 25.-G M. Lee, newly-elccted office manager of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Co-opera- tive Association, arrived in Little Rock yesterday after having spent more than two weeks Investigating the system of record-keeping at head quarters of the Texas and Oklahoma associations ill Dallas and Oklahoma ICity. He spent the day here in con ference with President Charles G. Henry and Secretary John D. Ed ridge and said that he expects to be- gin as soon as possible the organiza- tion of the office force for handling the office work of the Arkansas asso- citation.
 "Of course l realize that it is going to be an immense task to keep track of more than 200,000 bales of cotton from the time they are received at the compress point until the final pay men5 is made to the owner," said Mr Lee. However, 1 feel that I am for tunate in having had the opportunity to study the methods employed by the Texas and Oklahoma associ tions. Entering a new and untried field. it was natural that they should have made some mistakes, although on the whole, 1 think that both associations did wall that many unforeseen difficulties will come up and while l realize the inn mensity of the task, I am sure hat it can be handled satisfactorily"
 Has p Years Experience.
 In connection with MT. Lees ar rival here, President Henry called at tention to the fact that in employing MT. Lee, the Arkansas association is adhereing to it's policy of securing the best men available as heads of de- partments. MT. Lee has spent 25 years in work similar to that which he will be called upon to direct as office manager of the cotton assoCia- ion To accept the Arkansas offer he resigned his position with the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company with head quarters in Cairo, H., and Helena, Ark. He was in charge of produc- tiOn costs for that concern, which is the largest wooden box manufacturing concern in the world. Previously he was office manager of the Lamb Fish Lumber Company of Charleston, Miss. and before that held a similar position with the Carrier Lumber Company of Sardis, Miss. Since these lumber concerns also owned cotton farms, he is familiar with the cotton business as we'll as with the lumber industry.
 MT. Lee will be here for several days making plans for the organization of his office force. Later it is probable that he will visit headquarters of the Mississippi association at Greenwood.

SEA CAMP AT MARION, MASS.

In the little town of Marion, Mass,
by the unruffled waters Of Sippican
harbor, is a sea camp for the Boy
patronage of old seafaring shippers,
boys are taught the tricks Of the
trade Of sailing and seamanship.
From the rudiments of modifying,
splicing, rowing and the kindred SUBJ
jects that a good sailorman must
know, they are brought through an
exhaustive training for the sailing
and the trials that, await them out
side the snug little Sippican harbor
in the wide expanse of the blue wa
tiers Of Buzzards bay.
Through the timely aid of William
II. Todd of the Todd Shipbuilding
corporation and the kindness Of the
Tabor Nautical academy, In turning
over their entire school to Chief Sea-
scout James A. Wilder for summer
camp, dreams became realities.
The civilian III. Todd" Is the first
Of a series Of camps conducted by the
sea scouts. Sea scouting Is nation
wide scheme, and the camp itself en-
braces boys from as far south as
Texas, west to Chicago and north to
Maine. In following summers camps
will be located at other points In the
United States, thus providing the
same training for boys In other
localities. The high spots Of the
training are life-saving, under the
distinguished leadership Of COmmo-
dore w. z. Longfellow, rowing and
sailing, under vouched-for leader
ship.
The second program Is the official
older boy program of the Boy Scouts
of America; a scout must be at least
fifteen years old before joining. 1t
is a club run like a ship, involving
strict discipline and immediate obedi-
ence-sea ceremonies and general
snappy work; for the perils of the
sea become greatly intensified II the
crew fails to respect and properly
obey their officers. The boy scout,
when he joins a seacOast ship, enters
into a line of work which Is divided
into five stages: The sloop class, for
apprentices, schooner class for or
binary sea scouts, barkentine class for
able sea scouts, bark class for extra
sea scouts, Ind lastly, the ship class
for those who have reached the top.

Stories of By Elmo
Scott
Great Scouts Watson
OLD jim BRIDCER, TELLER OF
TALL YARNS"
9, Western Newspaper Union.

"Yes sir, up thar In the Yellowstone
I seed peetritied trees a-groyin' with
peetrified birds on 'em a-sin, in peet-
rlfied songs" once declared old Jim
Bridger, scout, trapper and .(ur trad
er. He was one of the first white
men to visit the natural wonders or
what is now Yellowstone National
park.
After his return he gave an account
of what he had seen to an eastern
magazine writer. Two of the writer's
articles were published. Then the edi-
tor refused to print any more, saying
that his readers would not believe
such Baron Munchausen tales. Ev-
erything the old trapper had told the
magazine writer was true, and when
Bridger found that his stories were no
longer believed, he began telling 9TH
er yarns which did not always stick
so closely to the truth.
One day in the Yellowstone, he said
he came upon an elk grazing within
easy gun range. He fired, but the elk
neither dropped nor seemed alarmed
by the shot. The scout reloaded and
fired again-with the same result.
Then he became angry. Picking up
rock, he threw it at the animal. The
rock struck some invisible barrier and
dropped to the ground. When Bridg-
er reached the place where 1t lay he
found that he had been shooting at
the elk through a mountain Of perfectly
transparent crystal
Bridger was the first white man to
see the Great Salt Lake In Utah. This
was In 1924, and he told some won
derfuI stories about the lake. One OF
them was about the great snowfall In
the winter Of 1880, which covered the
whole Salt Lake valley to a depth Of
20 feet. All of the buffalo persisted.
"When spring came, all had to do
was to tumble 'em into the lake an
I had enough picked buffalo for my
self an the whole Ute nation for
years." Bridger declared.
Bridger was known as "Old Gabe,"
or 1.-THE Old Man Of the Mountains"
by his fellow trappers, and the Grow
Indians called him "Casapy-the
Blanket Chief" :.
General, whar you don't see no In
juns, thar they're sartin to be thick
est" he once told Gen. Henry Caring
ton, and the general found it good ad-
vice. When the engineers for the
Union Pacific railroad were uncertain
about the easiest route through the
Rocky mountains, they sent for Old
Jim. He took a piece Of old brown
paper and with a piece Of charcoal
marked the route which they were to
follow. Later they found that he had
not made a single mistake in mapping
the route. Bridger died In 1881, and
Is buried In Kansas City.
