HOW HUBBY" AND WIFE
CAN BEST GET ALONG
Woman Jurist Gives Essentials from
Observations Coming Under Her
Supervision.

Cleveland, O.-Judge Florence E.
Allen, perhaps Americas most wide
ly known woman jurist, has four
rules for happy marriages. They
are:-
1. The wife should have a regu-
lar allowance. Money matters cause
many divorces.
2. The husband should make a
business partner of his wife, She
should share his confidence in all
matters.
3. The wife should be sympa-
thetic.
4. The wife should never nag her
husband. She should work with
him.
In the last two terms of court
Judge Allen has tried 397 divorce
cases, more than have been tried by
any other two judges here, in the
same period.
Amplifying her four rules, Judge
Allen offers some pertinent opinions
on the divorce evil" in America.
"Hasty marriages are the most
common cause for divorce. Young
people today marry hastily not real
izing the personal responsibility.
They are ready to quit at the first
quarrel.
Il recall one divorce petition
where the quarrel was over the ma
ming of a baby. 1t was their first
quarrel too. l reconciled them.
Women sometimes make the lives
of their husbands miserable by nag
ging."
Most divorce laws, Judge Allen be-
lieves, are not too liberal, but are
too literally administered
"The longer a case is pending the
greater the chance there is for a re-
conciliation," she declared. "Often
when a case is called I find that the
parties are made up, and don't want
She has reconciled 101 couples and
granted 246 divorces.

Appeal for Old Ladies' Home.

Dear Friend:-
The East Annex of the Old La
dies Home will be ready for occu-
pancy in a few weeks, and regard
less of the heavy debt incurred by it's
erection, all connected with the
Home are filled with joy and thanks
giving when they think of the for
ty destitute old ladies now scattered
over the state who will soon find the
shelter and protection they deserve
here. We are happy for their sake,
but doubling the capacity of the
Home also means doubling our re-
sponsibilities (yours and mine), for
we must not only maintain the in
stitution, but perpetuate it, so that
the unfortunate aged of the future
may enjoy just as comfortable a
home as we are now giving those of
the present.
We must work for the mainten-
ance fund continuously, but one day
in every year is devoted entirely to
the Endowment fund and that day is
Mothers Day, annually observed on
the second Sunday in May, being on
the fourteenth this year.
Can you think of any more ft-
ting way of celebrating the day, of
honoring our own mothers, than by
remembering the lonely ones who are
spending the sunset of their lives in
the Old Ladies' Home, with neither
son nor daughter to do them hon.
ass? Please speak of this to friends
and try to arrange some form of ben
eft entertainment, or sale, and send
the proceeds as a Mothers Day Do
nation" Also request the Ministers
and Sunday School Superintendents
of your town to send their free will
offering of that day to the Home as
that is customary in many church
es in Mississippi.
May we hope for very substan-
tial reply from your town?
Cordially yours,
Aleyne Aschef, Cor. Sec.,

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CAKES,
BY Howard B. CARTS.

"Uncle Wiggily! Uncle Wiggily!
Don't be In such a hurry" called
voice to the bunny rabbit gen.
tleman one day. as he was hop
ping through the woods,
"Ha! Don't be in a hurry! That's

viding ! know who gives it,"
thought the bunny uncle looking
around. But If it's tho Skillery
Scallery Alligator, or Pittsburgh.
I am in just as much of hurry as

However, as the bunny gentle
man looked along one side of his
pink, twinkling nose he saw that
it was Mrs. Twistytail. the pig lady,
who was calling him, and not any

tytail. "In the basket are lust

she could add anything more, a

JUST PUT A PLUG IN THE
THE BUNGUOLF,

New MeXicans have heard q
great deal of recent years about
the mounting state and county en-
penses and the corresponding in
crease in taxes. Various remedies
have been suggested for remedying
the situation. which those who
are familiar with conditions admit
are becoming serious.
It cannot be denied. OF course
that the cost Of government, like
everything, has increased, especial
ly since the war. True, the sal
aries of state and county Officers
are regulated by law and remain
as they were in pre-war days, hut
this is not true of appointivo Of
fices, neither is it true that sup
plies purchased to run the state
and counties can be purchased for
the prices that prevailed a few
years ago. Nevertheless, consider
able saving can he effected If there
is a genuine desire to do so.
Now that we are on the verge of
a campaign, it behooves the peo-
pie to give serious thought TO the
nomination of candidates for the
various offices, state, legislative
and county. Men should be select
ed who are pledged to an adminis-
tration of efficiency and economy;
men who, if elected, will guarantee
to devote their full time to the
offices to which they are elected
and to see to it that the business
of the state and the countries is
handled in an efficient and eco
nomical manner.
If the ordinary private business
was run in the slipshod manner in
which the average public office is
conducted, it would soon go on the
rocks. A business man who is
anxious to make a success Of his
undertaking would be very unwise
to place an incompetent man in
charge of it, and yet the voters of
the state of New Mexico have in
the past entrusted the important
county duties 10 men
who would not run a peanut stand
and make a success of the VEN
ture.
It is time for the voters Of New
Mexico to awaken to the fact that
they must assert their independ--
ence and elect men to state, legis-
lative and county offices who will
see that the business is placed
upon stable and effective basis.
To repeat an old saying, we are
, Saving at the spigot and wasting
at the bunghole." We should put

CRAZY IDEAS.

The world is inclined to poke
fun" at the majority of inventors.
"Crazy ideas" is the term applied
to the products OF inventors
brains. True, there are thousands
Of inventions which will never be
of any practical use. But this does
not necessarily mean that every
new invention is worthless, and
the man, with what we are pleased
to term the "crazy idea" should
not be laughed at.
Alexander Graham Bell, inven-
tor of the telephone, died a few
days ago. There were those who
did not believe his announcement
that he had perfected device by
which the human voice could be
transmitted over thin wire. But
he lived to see the whole world
talk by telephone.
Forty-five years ago Thomas A.
Edison Is said to have laughed at
himself because he had "crazy
idea" But he kept on, and today
in millions Of homes the phono-
graph plays. When Edison an
nounced that he had invented the
incandescent light an italian scien-
fist discredited the report, claim
ing that such a thing was impos-
sible.
Less than a score OF years ago
Langley was laughed to death be-
cause of his "crazy idea" that man
could fly. The greatest mathenla-
tician of the age, Newcomb, dem
onstrated "conclusively" % that
heavier than air flying machine
could not fly. But airplanes were
used with success in the world
war. are carrying mails and pas
sengers and may soon become as
popular as automobiles.
Wireless was a crazy idea" So
was Bells telephone and Morse's
telegraph, and Whitney's cotton
gin.
Don't laugh at the man with the
"crazy idea" Just because it's new.
II there had never been any new
ideas we would still Jail lunatics
and debtors, burn men and women
for witchcraft, and use pine knots
for illumination. 1t is not so long
since republic was a "crazy idea
, in government.
Some day the man will be born
whose "crazy idea" will end war,
strikes. oppression, anarchy, crime
and fraud. He will be laughed at,
as all leaders have been. But let
us not be among those who deride,
merely because not yet has 1t been
given to us to understand.
