DELAYED DIVORCE.

An Ohio judge has laid down the rule
that no divorces will be heard in his
court until nine months after the filing
of the petitions. TO emphasize it, he
has placed sign to that effect on the
wall Of his ante-room.
His action was determined by the
fact that divorce suits were delaying a
lot of other court business which he con-
sidered more pressing.
Experience has convinced him that on
general principles, it's good thing to
make would-be Divorces wait while
for their freedom. When they wait n
reasonable length of time, their tempers
cool and they probably decide that they
don't want a divorce after all.
Some such rule would be a good thing
anywhere. And to add to its effective
ness, there ought to be corresponding
limit to the time within which anyone
could remarry after getting a divorce
An interval of, say, year for each op-
GRAFTON, would help good deal to cut
down the divorce evil.

SURPRISES AND DIVIDENDS.

According to Wall street authority,
there is an interesting reason back of
the stock dividend declared by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
and anticipated dividends in many other
corporations.
An oil specialist explains that con-
gress has to find some new way of rails
ing revenue and is likely to try taxing
the surplus of corporations. 1t hap
pens that great many corporations
have large SURPRISES held against rainy
day. 1t happens also that the supreme
court has held that stock dividends are
not taxable. Wherefore there is going
to be y new crop of stock dividends
WHICH may rival the bumper crop of a
couple of years ago.
incidentally there is boom in oil Sc
curities generally, although vail went
up last summer that the refining COM
panies were all losing money. 1t seems
to pay trusts TO get busted"

Are Exchanged
Directory Gives Registration OF Car
40G7 Under Name of Clara A. Arms
No Such Person Known Here.

Local police officials We're on the look
out all Sunday and Sunday night for
n Buick automobile nth n Yermlnt
license plate with the number 4H27
which avoided capture by the cus'y -
officials at the Canadian bVruer sar
Island Pond after an exchange of shots
last Friday night. The mystery of the
disappearance of the car has been fur-
Their deepened by the fact that the regis
tration of the car in the state motor
vehicle register is under the name Oh
Clara A. Arms of BrattleborO Inquiry
by local officials fails to show that any
one by that name lives in this town or
has lived here.
The Buick was one Of three cars
which attempted to get past the officials
az Island Pond. The Buick was first in
the procession and when the driver was
asked to stop he stepped on the gas and
sped along. The customs officials lost
no time in drawing their revolvers and
firing at the car, the fire being returned
by the men in the escaping car. Appar-
emily the customs men failed to damage
the tires of the car, as its speed in
creased and in Il few seconds ii was out
of sight The second and third cars
were stopped and 2S cases of booze were
found in one car and 30 in the other.
Immediately the police in all towns
in this and neighboring states were noti-
fed and watch was set, but thus far
the much wanted car has failed to APP
pear here.
The name in the automobile register
is thought by the officers TO be fictitious
and it is believed by them that the name
was chosen by rum runners in order to
serve the bootleggers in just such an
emergency as has happened.
Local officials were in telephone com
munication with the customs officials
Sunday night, but ut that time the latter
had heard nothing further about the car
The matter has been turned over to
