 Atkins Denied Divorce
 Richard Atkins, aged 2l. of Rrls. tol, who was expelled from Manlius Military school at Manlius N. r., last year when he married Nellie poran, a waitress In that town, has heen refused decree of divorce by Judge Allyn Brown in superior court.
 Atkins claimed he was deceived as to the character and age of the woman al the time of their marriage, but Judge Brown, expressed a belief that "in the environment of his home surroundings and under the parental roof, reached the conviction that his passion and lack of nllg- ment Tn entering into the hastv mar riage had established a status which wouldn't make for his happiness" ." If is this reason that impresses the court rather than any claim or con- Clusion that the plaintiff had hcen trickcd into the marriage by fraud and misrepresentation of the de- rendant
 This is my conclusion, that not only did the defendant not declare that she was chaste and good girl, but that in the ardent Courtship which he was carrying on he re- roa'odly said that he didn't care about her past, that he had a past himself, that she was a sweet. good girl and he liked her and that he urged and hesousht her to become his wife.
 "The venture has proven unfor- tnnate but for the reasons above in dicatod it Is my conclusion that the plaintiff is not entitled 10 a decree" "
 Atkins lived with his bride in Bristol for time, she later return ing 10 her home. She came back 10 Bristol and through court action secured support. Her husband then instituted the unsuccessful divorce action.

SALINAS, July 1S.-Salinas is
preparing to stage comeback -
rodeo July 1926.
The California Rodeo and Salinas
Dig week was postponed last year on
account of the hoof and mouth cpl
demie. The disease did not effect
the cattle of the Monterey ranges,
but tho stockmen considered the
interests of the state paramount to
their own, and so did not hold their
usual celebration.
Because there was no roundup last
year. and because this is the year of
California s diamond jubilee, they
are extending every effort to make
the Forthcoming celebration the big
gost and best they ever have had.
\ carload of wild horses from Ne
yada already is ON the ground. There
will be 200 or more in all, and more
than 100 bulls.
Since the last celebration the city
OF Salinas has purchased Sherwood

NO MORE POLAR PLANES

Arplanes, after ALL will not do for North Pole
flights. This is the mature judgment of Amundsen
and Ellsworth, the only explorers who have yet tried
such method. Never again, they say, will they
attempt polar exploration with planes.
They declare heavier-than-air craft impractical
in the Arctic because of the uncertainty of landing con-
dtions here Their experience has shown them that
the ice is nearly always too roungh to aght on and IN
aighting on the water-when water is availabe-they
are liable to be crushed by the ice always
ing across The face of that icy sea.
The drigible looks practical to them. "A
lghter-than-air craft" Ellsworth explains could
always avoid being crushed in the ice by lowering or
by keeping its weight off the ice through its con-
tent So they may try again for the Pole some time
in a Zeppn.
Meanwhile Macmillan is going right ahead with
his plans airplnes in the Arctic His situation,
however is somewhat different. He is not seeking the
Pole, which is known to be mathematical point
in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, but is exploring the
area Immediately north of Canada and Alaska with
view to finding land, and going far from land.
He may find planes more useful for that purpose.
The verdict against planes may not apply to Ant
arctic exploration either because the South Pole is in
the mides of great continent, rising to consider
able elevation above the and should offer far bet
ter landing facilities than the Arctic.

6 per cent during that year, the
estimated farm population on Janu-

1924. This estimate includes not
only the agricultural workers, but
all men, women and children living
on farms on that date,
The movement from farms to cit

to farms was 100000 making u net
movement from the farm population
of $4,000 persons or 2.2 per cent.
Births among the farm population
during 1924 are estimated at 100000
and deaths at 266,000 leaving ma

duced the loss due to the cityward

ed to 2,075,000 in 1924, a slight in,
