Maine and California are not so wide
apart in the matter OF divorce as they
are geographically. The fact that
they aren't should be considered in
connection with the opinion OF Justice

the employed wife soon wearies or
married lie.
The so-called shoe shop cases
cases N which both husband aud wife
have positions so numerous in the
divorce court in Maine that Justice
Phllbrook reaches the conclusion that
homemakinR is not practical for the
employed woman, As result "these
couples tire Of marriage, as OF new
playthng, and come to court asking
that solemn contract be sci aside"

the shoe town Auburn, in Maine are

and their employment is not So as TO
prevent homemaklng
The obvious difficulty which arises
when an employed woman marries is

The small sum of 100000 has again

Do the words valuable or new and

free distribution Of seed political
help? According to the reports of some
farmers on the growth of these seeds,
it is to be doubted if it is even eXpedi

send out these seeds

a lot of clover has already been sown

later large acreage of tie plowed

This system gives one a goot return
