made. One of the incidents report
ed last evening was Of a pledge
that came unsolicited from a nom

Dear Nh. Inompe0n: I IN :
married woman - years old. FOR
nine years have been married and
In that time have known very IN
tie happiness. My husband Is the
kind OF man who is very polite In
ffout Of people and be mover leta
outsiders see him unpleasant to me,
but when We ere alone he is Just
as disagreeable as he can Be. He
nags It me al tho time because l
am thin and he says look older
than he does, when In reality l am
two years younger. You can imag-
inc It doesn't make me happy to
have him talk this way and some
times I think / an thin because I
am mot happy.
My husband Is also vary particu-
lar about his food. There are very
few things he will eat and II I hap
Den 20 have something that does not
suit him he il % cross that can
hardly stand It.
have wanted to leave for . long
time and 20 / have been looking for
work which would pay me enough
to support myself. At last I have
found something. There is .
wealthy old lady who wants me 10
come and stay with her as COM
panion. Ali would have to do is
make my home with her, because
she has servants to do the work.
She also says that / can feel free
to 60 places as long as l am there
most Of the time.
Do you thipk it would be WRONG
for me to leave my husband! l
am miserable with him and humili-
ated all the time because Of the
way he treats me. It would be won
derful to have my freedom again
and 1t seems to me too good to be
true that I have such an opportun-
ity. Do you think it would be
wrong for me to 60?
MRS. F. M.
The matter of divorce is some
thing you should decide for your
self. 1t seems to me that since you
are SO unhappy with your husband
and crave freedom SO much, you
are justified In leaving. 1t must
be terrible to live with some one
who nags and humiliates you al
the time.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: nm
IL years old and / have been coins
with young man for two years
He wants me to be engaged to him
but my parents object and say l an
too young My aunt lives In An.
other state and mother wants me-
to go there for long visit because
she thinks l will get over my love
know I will not and I do no,
want to leave home.

The discussion in the committee
showed that the members feel the
importance of their making the can
vass now rather than waiting until
the general appeal that will be made
during the week Of Oct. 1922, and
the committee seems determined to
set a good example for the other
% churches of the Rock Island dis
trict to follow. One official of the
hospital said today that if the First
church reaches its quota and the
other churches of the district follow
the example it will mean about
$4,000 from this district alone.

Cuban Election Results in Victory For
 That Party

Havana, Nov. 2. (By Associated ress)-The liberal party seemed tc be on top in Cuban politics today as a result of their victories in the par tial elections held throughout the is- lands yesterday.
 Incomplete and unofficial returns indicated that they had elected fiber al candidates as governors of six Cuban provinces and had won the race for mayor of Havana, the sec ond most important administrative post on the island. Moreover the lib- erals increased their numbers in the lower house of congress so largely that the administration may lose its majority.
 In Havana election day passed quietly and there are no reports from the provinces to indicate any disor- ders.
