Parted Years,
Couple United

PONCA CITY.--A 15-year-old
Oklahoma romance, wherein the
separated husband and wife have re-
mained faithful in their love during
that period of time, has recently
had it's elimination according to an
announcement, confirmed today.
The story is that of r. e. Hague,
formerly of this city and for sew
eral years a Santa Fe railway ongi-
Ger, and Miss Frances Wismeyer
Of Fairfax. The eastern Oklahoma
division of the Santa Fe runs
through Fairfax and thus the ro-
nance started
A rapid courtship followed the
initial meeting of Hague and Miss
Nismeyer and Is years ago they
eloped to Guthrie and We're mar
ried. There were objections on the
part of her parents and 1t is un-
'erstood that Hague received notice
that he must not even get off the
train at Fairfax upon the return of
he couple home. 1t Is known that
ne did not get off and that they
were not permitted to see each other
again.
An interesting incident of the days
mat followed the elopement Is told
~ Fairfax folks. Hague was an en-
gineer on a Santa Fe freight through
Fairfax, and at night time when his
,rain would go through the town the
girlbride would place a light in her
bedroom window, a love signal to
her husband. AS he passed he would
ound the engines whistle. He had
arranged so that this particu ar
whistle was different from all others,
and when 1t would sound the per-
pns hearing II would say: There

he just2 on the contrary, 1t Is
policy Of vengcance--a policy GER
tainly not designed to heal the
worlds war wounds. And 1t is this
policy which makes IL so extraordt-

II Is five minutes of twelve"--

one thing is ccrtain--it tho En-

and plunge It into the abyss--aud Il
surely win drag the rest Of the

IL is our duty to warn OF that
danger. We fulfill this duty not alone
in the interest Of Germany, but in
the interest Of the whole world. The
German nation has no idea Of refus-
ing its cooperation In the world =
reconstruction. II feels itself homo
bound to further that reconstruction
with all its might and means.
Therefore, Germany is not beg

but IL dcmands--J ustice!
We demand justice which will
give us a chance to unfold the best
that IS in us; justice which recog.
ni2es us as an equal member OF the
community OF nations Justice which
gives us the strength to cooperate
with the other nations in establish

In spite of this fact, Alaska has suffered
severe slump during the war. Her white
population is said to have declined one-third.
Nome has only 10 per cent of the population
of it's palmy days. The Government railroad
reached Fairbanks, say the wags, just in
time to take out the population. The salmon
packing industry is not making the huge re-
turns it once made. The production of gold
has dropped As per cent since 1916, and the
number of men employed in placer mining
has been cut in half.
Government interference, conservation and
red-tape are brought forward by one side of
the controversy as the cause of it all. "Give
us free hand to do anything we like with
the resources of Alaska and we will make
the land hum say the business men.
The conservationists reply that Alaska s
slump Is part Of the slump which has hit
the whole world, and which is being felt in
every part of the United States They say
it is not remarkable that Alaska, handi-
capped by her distance from markets and her
limited carriers, should suffer most. They
say that each Of the phases of the Alaskan
slump can be definitely traced to cause in
the present prices which she is able to get
for her commodities.
A. the same time, they agree that long
range Federal administration is nuisance
in Alaska. Some 80 Government bureaus
control the resources of that land, and nearly
everything must be referred to Washington.
They favor the relieving Of this situation by
the creation of a local board consisting of
representatives of each Of the Federal de-
partments interested in Alaska, and empow-
cred to act with the greatest promptness and
considerable discretionary latitude. They
also favor the abolition of certain unwork-
able laws, such as that which forbids a man
to take up land on both banks of salmon
stream, even though that stream be mere
brook with one salmon in it. Federal aid in
developing transportation in Alaska is also
La dire need they say. The railroad is only
one step. Alaska needs both highways and
shipping.
But the Roosevelt policy of conservation,
they urge must not be abandoned, il the
Alaskan resources are to yield their full
value to the American people as a whole.

of hunger, what multitudes of Russian wom-

death from starvation, in some form and to
some degree the whole world felt

runs the Renaissance quoted, when we saw
there might one day be no more, we began
to think things over and to understand. And
it seems to me that never did men realize
more clearly the solidarity which, in human
ity today with its many needs and special
ties of production and labor unites all men
and all peoples in spite Of themselves. 1t is
dangerous to forget by what complex and
delicate combination of human effort we
live, dangerous to lose sight of the fact that
bread is made Of grain which often is Gull
tivated at great distance from us and that
to insure a regular distribution of it a per-

had to think Of all this lately Hard neces-
sity has made men reflect, and they are be-
ginning to understand that only by one great
common effort is it possible to live"
Herein lies the chief and fatal destructive
ness of war, that it strikes not alone at the
life of men but at the life Of man. 1t is anti
social, anti-Christian, anti-human. Terribly
does 1t smite youths flower and break the
hearts to which kings and captains turn for
fealty; but deeper than wounds of the SOL
dler lad, further than single sorrows and
desolations sinks the tragedy of war-into
the fibre and soul of the best that the race
has achieved in its toilsome adventure
through tens of thousands of years. It is in
the consciousness of spirit kinship and Of
common dependence one upon another that
men become truly men and do their largest,
loftiest work. OF this idea and impulse civil
lizations are born and sustained, and the
highest endeavors Of human history pros
pered. No wonder, then, that in our complex
modern world we find economic and social
institutions Keeling under war, which is the
antithesis of what unites and preserves. No
wonder that sagacious men of affairs predict
ruin and chaos unless the structure of So

But death and destruction are not to be

not cooperate for the maintenance OF peace

America. In number of Old World
countries weather conditions last year were
so untoward as seriously to affect agricul-
tural production. Special investigators report
to the United States Government that while
good yields of wheat and rye were secured
before the severe drought of the spring Of
1921, barley, oats, corn, potatoes, sugar
beets and forage crops were sorely damaged.
AS for pasturage, it was depleted in some
regions that "live stock was sold off, with
resultant depression of meat markets.
Moreover, there was enforced delay in the
planting of winter wheat, and a reduction of
its acreage. "Rumania, Hungary, and Po-

NUMBER TWO-Bv Doroth Dix

sient guests before his wife takes perma-
nent lease upon it,
The difference between marrying a bach
elor and a widower is that the bachelor
wipes off his slate before he is married, and
his wife has no means of knowing who pre-
coded her in his affections, whereas the wife
of the widower has got a line on him. She
knows the name of the woman he loved, and
therefore has tangible subject on whom to
center her jealousy.
This being the case, 1t is, of course, un-
pardonable stupidity in man to be cOntin-
ually singing his first wife's praises to his
second wife. She would rather be flayed
with scorpions than have him tell her how
blessed he has been in getting two such good
wives, or that she makes as good pies as his
first wife used to make, or even that the
reason that he fell in love with her was be-
cause she reminded him much Of his
sainted Maria.
He thinks, poor boob, that he is showing
her what a faithful soul he has, and paying
her compliment, and it never occurs to
him that she has to sit on her hands to keep
from throwing the crockery at him, and
chew her tongue half off to prevent her from
screaming at him that there isn't woman
alive, or dead, from Lucrezia Borgia down,
that she wouldn't rather be like than his
first wife.
Yet the women who so bitterly hate these
poor, dead women should in all justice en-
they owe them never-ending debt of graft
tude. They were the matrimonial pioneers
who went before, and blazed an easy road
for the second wives feet. Widowers are
proverbially the preferred risk in wedlock.
They have been enlightened, disciplined,
broadened, humbled, chastened, house brok-
en-, by their first wives, and the second wife
profits by the labors of No. /.
On the first wife falls the burden not only
of the struggle to help her husband get on
his feet financially, but the fight of teaching
him that even wife has some rights a hus-
| band has to respect. Therefore, practically
| every second wife has more money to spend,
and is better treated than the first was, and
| for this also No. 2 has to thank No. /.
| AS to which wife man loves best, that
depends on the individual case, but nothing
would do more to cast romantic halo over
his first wife than for his second wife to be
forever weeping tears OF jealousy over the
departed lady.
! Let the second wife comfort herself with
this fact-that it does not matter whom a
husband loved in the past. It's the woman he
F; loves at present that counts. It's better to be
the last love than the first.
