With the recent publication of State statistics, one

and discouraging to others
The ratio of divorces in Hunterdon county is only

there is one divorce every marriages. with total
of % divorces for 1925.

for people to separate than to live together in enmty
and bitterness it gratifying to know that people
seem to get along better around here than is shown
in the alarming figures from other localities.

MOVE ON. "sLow POKE"

Since the State Highway Depart
ment through an analysis of the
accidents on the highway system
has found "that great many of
the accidents are due to slow
moving vehicles which block traffic
compelling drivers to pass around
them," the order has been issued
by Highway Patrolmen to make
slow drivers move faster or get out
of line on crowded highways"
Immediately the thought arises
in ones mind, "is it a good move p
Especially in this day of speed. "
On first thought, it seems utterly
foolish. Yet on the other hand, the
State Highway Department would
not issue an edict like that should
it tend to increase rather than abate
accidents.
1t is provoking, any motorist
knows, to follow slowly in line of
traffic just because someone ahead
is "poking" along, probably zone
armed" while the hand that should
be on the steering wheel is stroking
the cheek of his best girl.

War history was related in the

Colonial Road, Hartford, Conn.,, post
office clerk, indicted by the federal
grand jury for theft from the mails
to which he pleaded guilty. Filing
wood was sentenced to eight months
in the Hartford County Jail.
Mr.. Spellacy related how his client
had been blinded in one eye by an
explosion of hand grenade at the
Marine; how he did not report his
injury but continued on active duty
and fought through the second
Marine offensive. Later, the lawyer
said, Ellingwood was gassed and
| then the injury to his eye was treat
ed. Part of the steel was removed
from the sightless eye and some is
still there.
The clerk was accused of taking
eleven letters on March 20, 1926,
from the postoffice, some containing
money and one of them "planted"
by postoffice inspectors. Spellaey
claimed his clients mind was effect
ed by wounds.
"IIe only took in all between $40
and $25, and his thefts were never
more than a dollar or two at a
time" the lawyer said. "The fact
that he put back money in any
greater amounts and remailed the
letters intact, is proof of his &c
centricity,
In sentencing the man, Judge
Thomas said. 81 don't want this to
be construed by any ex-service men
as an invitation to get job in the

Love knows no bounds of laws creeds-

With lavish hand it spreads its seeds
And blossoms even where unsought.
When life was but creeping germ
In prehistoric wastes Of mud,
Love animated dormant sperm
And permeated sluggish blood.
Love lived for untold countless years
Before mans taboos evolved laws;
Then do you think that wrath or tears
Can stop its force or give it pause?
