DIVORCE Mill
IS SLOWING UP
Less Marriages Also in 1924
Than in 1928, Statistics
for Montana Show

The well-WOrn path over which the
Montana bride-and some who are
beyond the bride classification-are
wont to skip merriiy from the altar
to the divorce court, is not so dusty
and a fringe of grass is cropping up
on its edges. Why? Well, apparent
~ there is no reason readily at hand,
but, at any rate, the number of di-
vOrces granted in Montana courts is
growing less, according to statistics
compiled by the United States depart
ment Of commerce. Business at the
marriage mart has also suffered a
slump, the figures show, for during
1924 there were 159 less marriages
than in 1923, there being a total Of
$500 marriages performed In 1923
and 5,141 in 1924.
During the two years Yellowstone
county has been rivaling Silver Bow
county in the number Of divorces
granted. Of the 1878 divorces
granted in the state in 1928, Silver
Bow county claimed 283, while yell
lowstone had 1O5. And Of the 1904
divorces granted in 1924 Silver Bow
county had 247 and Yellowstone 100.
The decrease in the number Of di-
vorces for the two years is 189, or
lab per cent.
For the number Of marriages dur
ing 1923, Silver Bow county comes
first with 7s8, Cascade follows with
44O, Yellowstone is third with S74t
while Missoula county places fourth
E with 358. In 1924, YELLOWSTONE coun-
ty picked up and placed second with
478 marriages. Silver Bow had 712.
Cascade, s89 and Missoula, S12.
The divorce statistics for the twl
years show some interesting compari
sons. In 1924 there were 247 divorce
! granted in Silver Bow county, 100 il
j Yellowstone, 81 in Cascade and 81 il
Missoula county, During 1923 Silve
Bow county led the list again for tn
number Of divorces, having 288 Cas-
cade was second with 100 yellow
stone third with los, and Missoul

WASHINGTON Apsil- Fol
lowing a bad business year in the
cotton industry, New England cot
ton manufacturers convened here
today in the semi annual meeting
ef the national cotton manufactur-
ers association to discuss plans for
obtaining a higher protective ia.
riff on textile imports.
The. United States consumed q
million less bales of cotton last
year than in 1923, textile experts
pointed out today, while a tremend
ons amount of cotton goods were
imported The high labor costs of
american manufacturing was point
ca to as reason for the fact that
exports of cotton goods from the
United States amounted to only 5
1-2 per cent of the total produc

that United States is the greatest

ering trade, it was declared by

with b. X. Gersdorf. manager of the

possible enlargement of business of
the company in San Antonio.
San Antonio is one of the best
theater towns in the country" Mr..
Hoblitzelle said. "and will inevitably
improve along that line as the city's
marvellous advantages become better
known throughout the United tSates.
You are doing big thing in raising
money to advertise your city, for you
really have something to advertise.
Your climate is unexcelled, and the
historic setting of San Antonio, to-
gether with your wonderful living con-
ditions, ought to brins hundreds of
thousands of winter visitors here every
