When B. H. Hall, proprietor of a

opened up his shop to perform a ton
serial operation for an early morning
customer, he was sreeted by near
ly-empty establishment Razors, clip
pers and other "de-whiskering" ap-
paratus including five-foot stand for

to the detective department at 9
o'clock, leaving as nearly as possible
a list of the missing articles with
Chief McGrath. Inspectors Strathy
and Graham and Officer Williams
were assigned to the case, and 45
minutes later these officers had ar
rested Gus Embery, alias George Will

THE story OF coats for little girls
l. is not lengthy as to styles; also 1t
is brief as to materials used, the only
long item in 1t being the prices asked
for these little garments. They re-
main high. But this can be remedied
by making these coats at home, for
they are not difficult and the average
needlewOman can handle them with
out any trouble.
The materials used are the usual
wool coatingS, besides corduroy, a
light weight chinchilla, and velveteen
for practical coats, duvetyn, broad
cloth, paOn velvet and faille silk for
dressier ones. On the latter narrow
fur landings and small fur collars ap-

ermine and squirrel fur. Little bon

Of fur, make headwear In the same
claas with these elegant little coats.

provided some fabrics that work up
into coats and headwear for little folks
most successfully.

SILK STOCKINGS and
Other FINERY CAUSE
OF MANY DIVORCES

YORK, Pa. = Marriage nowadays
does not mean much, it seems. The
old idea of love does not figure any
more. Most girls nowadays do not
believe in helping their husbands by
hard work, building up home, rear
ing children and saving for the fu-
ture.
"All they think of is Sc stockings,
$40 shirtwaists and 800 coats. 1t
is no wonder so many marriages end
in the divorce court"
C. w. A. Rochow, former district
attorney and candidate for Mayor sat
down in court after this delivery.
II agree with much Mr.. Rochow
has just said. This is typical ex-
ample of the impossibility of young
people living with their parents in
stead of maintaining their own homes
1.-TWO families rarely get along to-
gether under the same roof They
should get away from outside influ-
ences and live their lives together
and thus avoid many chickering's"
The reflections by the attorney and
the jurist occurred in the case be-
tween Jacob Rudy and wife in deser-
tion court The Rudys lived with the
husbands parents. The wife was en-
ployed and the husband earned $S4 a
week
The Court ordered 50 week paid
the wife and expressed hope for
reunion.

TAKING the coats of this season
Il altogether, they are tastefully de-
signed and it is not a hard matter to
make a good selection among them.
One might almost pick at random and
still be reasonably sure of getting a
long, full, straight-hanging garment,
that it is easy to wear becomingly.
The points to keep in mind in order
to make a successful choice, are-the
sort of wear required, and the suitable
ity of the coat to these requirements
Having settled these matters the choice
is narrowed to a certain character of
garment. Then it remains to pick out
one that suits the individual taste and
it will prove joy as long as 1t lasts
One of the co" pictured here is
very handsome, lg. full, straight
model. 1t has very wide shawl col
lar and deep shaped cuffs Of Hudson
seal and for further ornament, large
barrel-shaped buttons that are placed
at the end of double rows of cord set
In the material. A very low waistline
is defined at the sides by rows of ma
chine stitching, finished with arrow
heads. These details Of finishing, with

ACREAGE lNecoRN in STATE
THIS YEAR EXCEEDS WHEAT

Denyer.-Reports Of about 25,0O0
farmers to the State Immigration De-
partment indicate that the acreage Of
corn grown in Colorado this year will
be greater than the acreage of win
ter wheat, for the first time in about
eight years. The acreage of corn this
year will be the greatest ever grown
in the state, while the area of winter
wheat to be harvested will be below
100000 acres for the first time since
1917.
Assessors reported 1,1O1,OOO acres
of corn in 1922, the largest acreage
ever grown In Colorado. Reports from
25,000 farms this year show over 7OO,-
900 acres, and while the remaining
farms will not report as large an
acreage us those from which reports
already have been received, 1t seems
safe to estimate that the final report
will show at least 10000 acres more
corn than was reported In 1922. The
reports also indicate an increase of
at least 20 per cent in acreage of
sorghum crops.
