SPANS ACTION
WAS EXPECTED

Petulant Spain has now shown
the world that she is child OF
her word. She has ingored the
present meeting of the League of
Nations and is expected to give no
tice of her withdrawal. This is in
accordance with what was expect
ed since the former gathering,
when Spain figured in the imbro-
Clio concerning permanent seats in
the Council OF the League.
Brazil likewise has her dander
up and has failed No send repre-
sentatives to Geneva. AS Brazil
was mixed in the same tiff last
spring and gave notice of quitting
the League. it was nearly too much
to expect her to change her mind
since that time.
According to word from both
GCUcNd ana ldTlS, lnc WORKS are
now well oiled for the admission
Of Germany into the League, and
also her admission to the Council
as a permanent member. This ac-
cession no doubt will be regarded
by both France and England as
well counterweighing the loss of
Spain and Brazil. The peace OF Eu-
rope considered, it will be the most
important step forward in League
annals since its formation, second
only in importance to an adhesion
by the United States.

All, Sunny dear, it seems to me
Life is unfair;
For two long weeks l know I'll be
In deep despair
While you're away on your vaca-

The thought fills me with conster-

l know just how you love to dance,
And l know, too,
You will not turn down any
chance!
What shall I do?
Strange. arms your form will be
embracing
While I, in my room, will be pac-

Strange men will hear your lovely

So sweet, so soft!

I hate them now, each Shcik and

For all I'll get will be a letter!

v. S. HART'S Wife
IN RENO COLONY
Plans to Secure Divorce From
Movie Star

Los Angeles, Sept. 8 Up>-The Ex-
aminer says Winifred sWestover Hart
estranged wife of William S. Hart.
famous two-gun man Of the movies,
has Joined the Peno divorce colony
Friends of Mrs. Hart are quoted as
having stated she will remain in
Reno until she gets a decree. She
is accompanied by her mother and
young son, William s. Hart Jr.
Winifred Westoyer and the actor
were married late In 1921, but a
rift soon appeared In their married
life. The birth of son failed to
reconcile the pair and the actor and
his wife finally separated. A con-
tract was drawn up in which Hart
created two trust funds, one for his
wife and the other for his boy. Mrs.
Hart was to receive the income from
100000 and William Jr, the in
come from 100000.
A proviso in the contract enjoin-
cd Mrs. Hart from entering the
INNS. "A tiuuhe III tuS liuSl dSfee-
ment specified that in the event
Mrs. Hart should get a divorce, the
100000 held in trust would be turn
cd over to her in cash. providing
she had lived up to her agreement.
Mrs, Hart closed her Hollywood
home six weeks ago, announcing
that she would visit in San Fran
cisco. Only her intimate friends, it
was said, knew she intended going
to Reno. Hart was unaware of his
Wife's departure, it was said.
The State Journal at Reno says
that Mrs. Hart arrived there q
month ago accompanied by her
mother and son, but that she denies
her identity, and declines to receive
visitors.

man Is a gambler when he isn't.
It's bad enough to say he is one
when circumstances might warrant
1t, especially as 1t Is difficult
thing to prove If no court record
is at hand to bear up the charge.
Taggart has particularly clear
name as respects gambling in view
Of the court cases that he has won
in defense OF the reputation OF the
noted French Lick Springs, which
he owns. Every attempt to link the
mid western health resort with
gambling has failed in the courts;
il there is any OF it going on in
or near said premises it Is private
gambling by folk who are attend
ing to their own business and are
not connected with the Tom Tag
CART enterprises in any manner,
shape or FORM" as the legal docu-t
ments have 1t.
1t seems to us, merely In the
light of superficial speculation, Of
course, that Edna Ferber's new
book got 100000 worth OF first
page advertising out of the incl
dent; and that Tom Taggart also
did not suffer greatly in having
public attention called to the fact
he owned hotel, hot springs and
golf grounds in Indiana 1t did not
take much effort to stop the presses
and substitute another name for
Toms one with the same total
Of letters in it.
We trust the day will come in
this commercial age when some
popular author, dramatist, actor,
actress or other public character
will be able to put over big
splash without the aid Of frst-page
publicity involving 9, suit at law or
some other startling and sensa-
tional thing having nothing to do
with true art.

farms in New England are not
looking about very carefully. 1t
may seem in Connecticut as though
we We're crowded. but a trip
through states north OF us shows
vast areas where farming might be
conducted, once was conducted,
but now is not. Acres by the thou
sands which once were titled are
now abandoned to bushes or to
trees, according to the length of
time they have lain fallow. In
twenty-five years or so they will
have grown a crop Of timber, but
there is question whether that
pays as much as potatoes or oats
or beans.
That is the question, anyway -
what pays best. You may talk to
New Englanders all you please
about the neglect of their farming
opportunities. The only thing that
will affect them is a showing of
what pays. New England is not
concerned about its abandoned
farms, about the large importation
of food stuffs. What concerns New
England is how it can make the
most money out OF its resources.
Not that New England is wholly
mercenary; it is canny. 1t has had
long experience with farming at
tempts that did not pay. 1t Is
seeking something different that
does pay, If it can find that, let its
food products come from the Sand
witch Islands or further, for all it
cares. As for those Of us who have
to buy all we eat, perhaps we need
not care so much either. We have
not been wont to find some home
grown stuff so much cheaper.

The most rapid gain in both to-
tai and per capita wealth is found
in the south, surprising even the
accretions in Michigan due to the
development of the automobile in
dustry.
In 1922 the total wealth of
Florida had jumped to s2,440, 000,-
600, this from $936,000.0o0 in
1912. At present it probably is
over the three billion mark. But
Florida may be regarded as an eX-
ception; and if so regarded, take
peek at North Carolina.
Due to the steady flow of the
textile industry from New Eng
land to North Carolina that state
has progressed very rapidly. In
1922 its total wealth was $4,543,-
100000, compared with s1,6S5,-
100000 in 1912, In other words,
the total wealth leaped to nearly
three times as much. The per cap
ita wealth OF the state rose from
$40 in 1912 to s1,7oS in 1922. an
increase of more than double.

A remarkable balance has been
maintained between the total and
per capita wealth Of New England.
In 1922, the last year for which
figures are available, with a total
wealth Of 100000, she
stood fifth In the list of geographic
cal sections; and with per capita
wealth Of s3,lS6 she likewise stood
fifth.
No other section OF the country
stood on the same notch in both
total and per capita wealth.
In 1912 New England, with a
wealth OF s11,917,oOo,ooon stood
seventh, and with per capita
wealth of s1,761 was In sixth place.
Even at that time no other section
of the country had total and per
capita wealth so close together.
New Britain herald., 1926-09-03

The per capita wealth of New
England was first UP to 1850, or
perhaps throughout the Civil War,
as due to the war and post war
difficulties there was hiatus in
the collection of statistics until
1880. New England at that time
led with a per capita wealth of
s414, but was third in total wealth,
with s2,OO2,oOo,oOO.
1t will be noted that the total
wealth of New England since Civil
War days has increased approx
mately twelve times, while its per
capita wealth has increased nearly
eight times.
