JUDGE KELSEY
ISSUMMONED
Had Resided in Sank
County All His Life,
Almost Eighty years

Judge w. i. Kelsey died at ms
home, 1921 Oak street, about
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. He
had been in failing health for
some time and heart disease was
the cause of his demise.
Judge Kelsey was born at Prsi-
RE du Sac, and would have been
eighty years old next February.
His father, Samuel Kelsey, was
born in the state of New York
and his ancestors probably came
from New England; his mother
wos horn in Scotland.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Kelsey
came to Prairie du Sac in very
early day. The village was plated
by ID. B. Croker in 1888 and set
tiers began TO arrive the next year.
Among the first to arrive were
John LeMeassure, William Frink,
Archie Hill, Joshua Abbott, Will
lam Simmons, Lyman Crossman
and others. 1t will be seen the q
village was but five or six years
old when Judge Kelsey, was born.
After his. early education at
Prairie du Sac, Judge Kelsy grad
mated from the law school at the
University of Wisconsin with the
class of 1872. He later also took.
his degree from the University OF
Michigan at Ann ArbOr
After practicing law for a num-
Der of years he was elected county
Judge and held the Office for about
twenty-eigh years. He succeed
ed Judge e. w. Young in April, 3
1892, and was succeeded by Judge
James II. Hill, January 5, 1929.
When he assumed the duties of
county Judge the Office was in the
old court house and the work was
comparatively light to what it
grew to be during his incumbency.
The probating of estates grew with
the years and in the handling OF =
these Judge Kelsey was always
careful that the interests Of the
guardians and heirs were conserv-
ed. In that he was elected term ,
after a term spoke as to his popular i
ity in that important office.
A After he retired from office he
was divorce counsel for some time.
When not at his desk, Judge
Kelsey found recreation in the out
of doors. With Mrs. Kelsey many
Journeys have been made over the
roads of the county. For years
they had summer cottage on
beautiful point at Merrimack and
later built on the Messenger shore
at Devils lake.
Deceased was a member of the
Masonic order, taking degrees
through the Knight Templar lodge.
Besides Mrs. Kelsey he leaves
one son, Attorney w. t. Kelsey,
and one daughter, Miss Rachael M.
Kelsey, a. NJ ember of the faculty
Of the University Of Wisconsin,
Madison.
The home Isl high on the north
bluff, overlooking one of the pic
turesaue regions in all the MISS
issippi valley. Here Judge, Mrs.
Kelsey, son and daughter have
spent many happy years. or a
quiet disposition, yet the Judge ap-
preciated the rare and beautiful IN
nature.

DIVORCES


For several days the circuit
court in Baraboo has been occu-
pied largely by divorce actions
and a number of DEGREES have been
granted. Why so many divorces
these days?
Commenting on the alarming in
crease in the number of divorces
in America in the last thirty years,
shown by the United States CEN
sus bureau TO be an increase OF
125 per cent, Benjamin P. Chase,
writer on economics and social
problems, suggests the changed
position of American woman as
one Of the outstanding causes.
Thirty years ago woman accept
ed domestic conditions as they
were. She ministered to mans
wants, suffered his infidelities, ac-
ted as his nursemaid, and, in
truth, devoted all her time, ener-
gy and thought to his welfare. She
was regarded as the parasite,
while man was the provider and
the ruler, according to Mr.. Chase.
Now, however, with nearly 8,
100000 women engaged in gainful
occupation, the story is an entire
ly different one. This means she
not only can afford to be indepen-
dent, but is.
The girl is more independent be-
fore marriage, taking her own
good time about choosing part
ner for life. $50 she is increasing
ly insistent upon her rights after
marriage" argues the economist.
"Those many things which her
position forced her to suffer and
tolerate yesterday she refuses to
suffer and tolerate today"
+ The restlessness and irrespon-
sibility of the age in which we
live is seen as another reason for
many divorces. The tendency to
regard life in a trifling manner
has reacted most severely on mar
riage. 1.-The idea of marriage as
something to rush into and then
out of is undoubtedly a reflex OF
the instability and lack of re-
sponsibility current since the war
to which youth is more prone than
older people. Passing pleasures
and fancies of the moment seem to
conquer the youth of today more
than in days gone by. Young men
and women judge everything by
externals or trivialities. A good
LOCKER a swell dresser a 'heav-
emily dancer seem to be the meas
ures by which youth judges and
is judged today. Marriages be-
tween such young men and wO-
men are apt to end in the divorce
court.
In spite OF the high divorce rate
Mr.. Chase does not believe the
marriage institution in danger, mol
that men and women viii become
disguised with it. For the num-
Der of marriages is increasing each
/ wear.

So great has been the emphasis

should be said that architects

skill in presenting the most pleas

ALL-S0UTHWES7
CANDIDATES
IN ACTION

WACO, Oct. 30.-what promises
to be the big game of the weekend
in the Southwestern Conference race
is on Saturday between the Texas
Aggies and the Baylor Bears on the
Cotton Palace gridiron in Waco.
Indications were that A. and NJ.
would take the field against their Ions
time friendly enemies in good condi-
ton with the exception Of q few
minor injuries.
The Texas Aggies are not consider
ing the weight problem as a signifi-
cant issue in comparing the relative
strength of their football opponents,
but the things that are stressed most
for football effectiveness in the Aggie
camp are offensive spirit, conception
of fundamentals, condition, defensive
knowledge and, more especially, frame
of mind.
At least four contenders for all con-
ference honors on the A. and NJ. squad
will do their do at Waco Saturday.
They are Captain Fay Wilson, who is
almost certain for a backfield job !;
Bob Dusty" Berry, who with Cap
tain Herman Clark of T. C. T., seem
to have the call for the quarterback
job Norman Dansby, who would have
been an all-conference guard last year
had not injuries interfered, and big
COX" Dieterich, who has played a
whale of a game at tackle thus far
this season. This will be the first
year in many years that the Aggies
have not had n sure fire candidate
for all conference honors at end and
if Beutel plays as he did against s.
NJ. L. he probably will be in the run
ming.
The A. and NJ. Cadet Corps, 1000
strong, will be here with their leather
lungs which will add materially to the
football atmosphere.

LACK OF PRACTICE BLAMED
FOR big THREE FAILURE
By HERBERT REED

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-It has re-
manned for Harvard to bring to light
situation in connection with big
Three" football that has been quietly
discussed for some time, but has had
practically no publicity.
The suggestion that the teams in
the big Three" be allowed to start
practice earlier in the season than is
permitted by the triangular agree
ment at present comes with peculiar
appropriateness from the Crimson, an
institution that has been the great
est stickler for the agreement as it
exists.
Princeton, Harvard and Yale all
have been beaten. Yale, strongest OF
the three, has been blessed with a
wealth of material such as has not
been in evidence at Princeton or Har-
ward for some time.
AL three Of these institutions play
Games outside their own group against
elevens that have a considerable ad-
vantage in early preparation.
So long as the material IL a little
more than remarkable. as is the case
