Too Hard-BoiIed

One Wong Ah-nyi, not so long ago cap
tured bandit under sentence of death in q
little Chinese community, walks the streets
of the city a free man, and his is a figure
that commands certain measure Of awe and
respect due to odd circumstance.
With six companions he was captured
while engaged in a lawless enterprise and in
accordance with the swift justice OF the
Chinese he and the other six were promptly
convicted and led out to be executed. The
heads of the six were quickly chopped off,
but by a mischance when the knife de-
scended upon Wong's neck it did not sever
the head but merely inflicted gaping
wound. This was taken as sign that some
special spirit was acting as Wong's guardian
and neither the executioner nor any other
dared again swing the knife.
Wong was taken to the yamen Of the mag
istrate, who also was impressed, so much so
that the official not only granted the cul-
prit full pardon, but he also gave Wong
a letter of introduction to those in charge Of
the mission hospital. The Christian doctor in
charge there restored Wong to well being
and so he goes about today free man and
one to be respected.

Russ Divorces

Three divorces to any one person are con-
sidered the limit in Soviet Russia, according
to Farley Christensen, of Chicago, candidate
for president of the United States on the
Farmer-Labor party ticket in 1920, who re-
Gently spent month in Moscow. Mr.. Chris
Jensen visited several Bolshevik courts.
"It is fairly easy to get divorce In
Soviet Russia" said Mr.. Christensen when
in Riga, but understand the limit is three
for each person. If man or woman has ap-
peared in the divorce courts more than three
times, he or she has very difficult time.
81 visited one divorce hearing. 1t was ex-
tremely simple The pair was separated in
half an hour. On arrival in the courtroom,
the man and woman were separately ques-
toned by the judge. He then got them to-
gether and tried to persuade them that their
quarrel could be patched up and they might
live together. They couldn't see it that way,
so the judge took them into another room
to sign papers dissolving their marriage"
Mr. Christensen also visited number OF
Peoples court" corresponding to police
courts in America, where persons are tried
for minor offenses. Most Of the judges, he
said, were dressed in rough clothes; includ-
ing brown flannel shirts.
I'm general" said Mr.. Christensen II
was amazed at the fairness Of these courts"

TRIBUTE To A LEADER

At a vacation meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Community
Training School for Religious Edu-
cation, the following tribute to its de-
ceased chairman, Homer w. Bomgard-
ner, was authorized:
In Appreciation.
In the passing away of our chair
man, Homer w. BOmgardner. the
spiritual and religious development in
our civic life has sustained an irrep-
able loss. A man of large vision, he
had that unfailing optimism which
makes visions become reality.
Especially does this com mittee feel
most keenly the loss of his splendid
leadership, for to his unselfish and un-
firing energy was due very largely the
success of the training school.
Tho dead, he yet lives in the fuller,
richer community life he helped to
create; and we doubt not that from
across the Silent Sea, his spirit still
bids us to higher things as he breathes
the breath of the Eternal Morning"

LELAND-FORD SPLIT TOLD
Reason for FoId's Assuming Control
of Lincoln Plant Explained.

OF Lincoln RANT Explained.
Detroit, June lathe Leland fam
lily has relinquished all interest and
connection with the Lincoln Motor
company The announcement was
made by Harold H. Emmons, styling
himself attorney in Lincoln motor
matters"
In his statement, Emmons an
nounces that the management and
conduct of the business has been
transferred from Henry NJ. Leland and
Wilfred c. Leland to the combined
Ford and Lincoln organization and
under control of Ford executives"
Motor car circles have been full of
rumors for several weeks that the
Fords and LeIands were having diff
ferences over the operation of the
Lincoln plant, purchased at a receiv-
ers sale last February by Henry Ford
for million dollars.
Efforts that were made on the part
of certain New York bankers to pur-
chase from Henry Ford his control of
the Lincoln Motor company, pur-
ternaI situation in the Lincoln plant
to a head. The Lelands. backed by
the New York capitalists, went to
Ford, it is said, and urged Ford to
sell his control to the New York group.
Ford emphatically refused to consider
the proposition.
Ford, it is reported, has been con-
WINGED for some time that the only
solution of his problem was to bring
the Lincoln car right into the Ford
organization and handle it just as a
department In the great Ford plant.
Naturally this move would be distaste-
full to the Lelands, who desire to main
tain their own individuality as sepa-
rate from the Ford plant.

when examined the State affairs

that the expenses in 1921 were $4.-
100000 more than in 1920. The bond
ed indebtedness of the State Of Maine
is now $12,500.000. Eighteen months

administration does not recommend
itself. In population the State has
stood still for the past 40 years. The
