which confers upon the husband ar
bitrary power over the wife still OBJ
tains and to procure a divorce is ex-
tremely simple. A man wishing to
be rid of his wife need merely sum-

that he divorces her and the thing is
accomplished. The wife cannot APP

specific marriage agreement, to re-
tain her dowry, jewels and other pos
sessions.
1t is STATED that LATHE brought
large dowry when she married Kemal

to be an agreement whereby she for

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla-James
Buchanan Price, who sold newspapers
on the campus of Duke University at
Durham, n. c., last year, when James

there to participate in dedicatory
service, has been informed by attor-

OF sixteen relatives who will partici-

Duke estate.
Price, who is 50 years old, lives here
and supports himself by doing such
small jobs as come his way. He lost
his last job in a restaurant ten days
ago because OF illness.
Last year. after reading of the $40,-
100000 endowment given by Duke to
the university Price managed to get
railroad ticket, but when he reached
Durham his funds were gone. So he
sold papers on the campus to meet
his needs.
He did not reveal himself to Mr..
Duke, but returned to Oklahoma City
without his relative knowing he had
been there.

The dealer buys on telegraph or

the grower a cash-track price, which,
if accepted, cleans up the transaction

the consignee an opportunity to reject

Down in Florida, half way between
St. Augustine on the Atlantic and Pa
1atka on the St. Johns, the quiet little
town of Hastings wakes up about this
time Of the year and begins to plant
Irish potatoes. 1t is an easier job there
than in Maine. where the seed pota-
toes come from, for the land IS fiat
as dining table and the soil so loose
that il could be cultivated with hand
implements if tractors, horses and
mules were not available, writes Arm
strong Perry, in Grit.
A farmer who starts on new ground
has to remove pine or cypress trees
and grub out palmettos, but o,5OO
acres of potato soil around Hastings
is now as fine as granulated sugar.
Hastings has developed potato cul-
ture to a science. The forecasts OF the
United States Department OF Agr1cul-
ture are studied to determine what
acreage can proftably be planted. The
seed and fertilizer are purchased, eth
er through local dealers or the grow
ers' cooperative organization. Ii the
farmer lacks money he gets what he
needs on credit, including cash Tor his
payroll
There. is no experimenting. That has
all been done, and just one standard
lied potato is grown. Five l5O-pound
sacks are planted 10 the acre. A stand
ardized fertilizer is used also, 5-S-3
combination OF potash, ammonia and
nitrate OF soda. The fields are kept
free OF weeds by clean cultivation.
Ninety-Day Growth.
Ninety days after the planting the
harvest and the real excitement begin.
Up north. the growers know. rich
city folks will pay any price for new
potatoes so long as they are not out
OF season. The first few shipments
bring as much as $50 per barrel,
which is FIVE times what it costs to
make them" The poor young spuds
are not permitted to mature, there
fore, but are yanked from their par
ent soil as soon as they are large
enough so that they will not be mis-
taken for walnuts.
Rapidly the digging and shipments
increase. Colored labor flows in au-
tomatically, for it is the practice OF
the field hands to follow the crops.
Between six and seven o'clock every
morning hundreds OF husky, dusky
men and women congregate at the
railroad station and roll away in
laughing, boisterous truck loads to
the fields.
Endless lines OF empty refrigera-
tor cars are shunted into the Hastings
yard. The fat-platformed trucks that

prices. Unitedly, the Hastings grow
ers take a hand in establishing prices
themselves.
Consumer Wins Sometimes.
Sometimes, OF course, the market
becomes flooded and the ultimate con-
sumer gets a bargain, provided he is
not up against too strong retailers
organization. Last year, for example,
the Hastings growers received only
81 per barrel on the average while
the cost of production was around 81
On an average yield, 40 barrels per
acre, this gave the owner of a ten
acre farm only Sl60 for his three
months work. On the other hand, the
shipment OF 102 cars on one average
day this year brought to the little
town of Hastings the neat sum OF
S114,00000.
The white potato has so endeared
itself to the hearts of growers in the
Hastings district, where it has been
grown successfully on some farms for
twenty-seven consecutive years, that
one village has been named Spuds.

Explains Why He Asked Catholics to Subscribe to French
 Debt Bonds ..

Paris, Aug. "4 R.-Cardinal Du- bois, archbishop of Paris, today is- sued a reply to protests over his appeal of last month for all Catho- lies. as patriotic duty to subscribe to the new four per cent loan con- solidating the French floating debt.
 The cardinal says he understands tho surprise of the Catholics at be- ing asked 10 support government which does not possess their conli- denCo which has not abandoned its anti-Cathohc policy but continues 10 apply laws d"spotling the church, and which does not react sufficient ly against the extreme parties that advocate revolution.
 He regrets that religious peace, which he says is an essential con dition for social peace, has not yet given sufficient guarantees but. he adds: "Tt is the safety Of France which is in question. Ii is for France that v-e ask you to sub- scribe. Can we with indifference see her credit founder in revolution and anarchy? Failure of the loan would mean new ministry-a socialist ministry-and would ha the hegin- ming Of social and religious disor- ganiaation of which if is impossible 10 foresce the disastrous effects.
 Tt would he perhaps decisive step toward blood stained oppres- sion by those whose program Is revolution first and always!"

AVIATION DEVELOPMENT
 IN THE STATE

The fact that there were seven airplane accidents in Connecticut since the first of the year -- New Britain aviators being involved in two of the accidents - gives n hint Of the future, according to one headline writer The surmise prob ably is correct there will be plenty more of them, unless future travel in the air is to become safer than any present mode of transpor- tation on the ground. Few will be optimlsts enough to deem this prob able.
 Connecticut in 1911 was the first state 10 adopt an air code, due 10 the foresight of Simeon E. Baldwin when he was governor: the code was Supplemented" ten years later. The state has been prominent ly identified with airplane develop- ments from the beginning of this invention. Now we have an aviation section to the state motor vehicle department, which has been "rec- ognized" and established as an in- dependent unit handling It's own records, although still responsible to the motor vehicle department. The state is ready for airplane de- velopments with a department es- pecially adapted to the purpose.
 Governor Trumbull has gone in for aviation and Senator Bingham Is past master at it. At least one city - New Haven - has an avis- ton association. New England gov- crnors are to visit Hartford soon coming by planes furnished by the U. s. government. The State Board of Control is attempting to form a Department of Aviation and will ar range the details in due course; in spection of aircraft every 30 days ands rigid requirements for the is- suance of pilot licenses will he made. All of which looks like progress - and a brilliant future for airplane development.
 The need for laying down an ln- terstato air code has reached Con srcss. New air routes will be estab- lished this fall. In a few years all important cities win ne served by regular airplanc routes; landing fields will he necessary and 1t will he a sign of baCkn ardness in q city not 10 possess one or several New Britain will be ready when the, time comes.
