Before, May Have to Pledge
Troth Anew to Spouses.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, January IA
The marital entanglements of E. H.
Bostic and his wife. formerly Miss
Evvie Bolts, were brought to light
yesterday when the couple filed suit
for divorce.
A previous suit for divorce had been
filed in 1923, and the two, believing a
decree had been granted, married
others. Later they discovered that no
decree had been recorded. Consequent
ly a new suit has been fled. and If
this is granted the couple plan to re-
marry the spouses with whom they
have resided for three yeaf=.
Mr.. Bostic and Miss Bolts were mar
ried in 1910 by the mayor of Cabot, a
small town. Later they were notified
by that official that he had exceeded
his authority, and they were married
a second time.

FIVE DIE IN STORM IN WEST.
Second Cold Wave Sweeps Down
From Rockies on Trail of First.


By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 14.-Snow-
storms, that piled the Central States
deep, swirled on toward the Atlantic
seaboard today, while another of
Winters .barrages crept down the
eastern slopes of the Rockies.
The most severe cold was in the
area between the two storms, but low
temperatures spread with the snow
from Canada to the gulf and the
Weather Bureau would promise no
great rise before Sunday, If then.
More snow was in prospect today
for Midwestern and Southwestern
States, where a record fall for the
Winter in many places already had
seriously interfered with travel and
communication.
Snow 90 Inches Deep.
Central Illinois was buried deep,
with close to 20 inches of snow on the
ground in some localities, and in
Chicago an army of 5000 labored all
night to keep traffic lanes open.
Three men were killed while attempt
ing TO keep traffic moving and two
others died of exposure
AT Gary, Ind. a street car careened
from snow-hidden rails and crashed
into bus, severely injuring several
persons, and in Chicago the weight of
the snow caved a garage roof in and
hurt four men.
Southwest Section Shivers.
The Southwest shfvered In the I'm.
seasonable weather and prepared for
zero temperatures in the wake of
storming that left snow from an inch
to six inches deep. Virtually all of
Kansas, northern Oklahoma and
Missouri were blanketed with con.
siderable depths.
Lower thermometer readings were
promised the Middle West today. and
snow-laden skies and low if not ex
treme temperatures were forecast
through the Central States. The storm
center itself swept down the St. Law.
renee Valley to give the corn belt a
breathing spell before the arrival of
the new disturbance advancing east
ward from the Pacific Coast.

EFFECT OF PLANTING DATE
AND SPACING ON GROWTH
AND FRUIT DEVELOPMENT
OF COTTON BEING STUDIED

With the acquisition of more def
mite information concerning the hab-
it's of growth and fruit development
of the cotton plant under the various
climatic and seasonal conditions of the
different cotton-growing regions of
the country, says the United States
| Department of Agriculture, methods
of controlling the boil weevil and i'm
proved cultural practices can be more
| intelligently studied and applied.
/ With these objects in view the de-
partment conducted experiments dur
ing 1928, 1924 and 1925 at the Unit
ed States Cotton Breeding Field Sta
ton at Greenville, Tex, to determine
the effect of different dates of plant
ing and different spacings upon the
growth and fruit development of cot
ton plants. The results have recent
ly been published in Department Cir
cular No. 4O1-C, Growth and Devel-
opment of Cotton Plants at Green
vile, Tex"
The interval between the appear
ance of successive fruiting branches
and that between the appearance of
successive squares on fruiting branch
es was not materially affected in the
tests by date of planting. In the I'M
thinned rows, however, the intervals
between the appearance of success
sive squares on fruiting branches
were longer than in the 12-inch spac-
ing of each date of planting. The
rate of square production seems to be
directly related to the vegetative Wig
or of the plants and not necessarily
affecter by the advance of the season.
The early planted cotton was
usually slow in terminating, came up
to a poro stand, and many of the
plants were injured by sore shin, to-
mosis, black arm, and plant lice.
These disorders and pests killed many
of the seedlings and allowed the 9th
ers to grow only very slowly. On
the other hand, the later paintings
encountered more favorable weather
conditions, and, therefore, germinat-
ed rapidly, and were little affected
by disease and aphids.
The maturation period of bolls was
found to vary from 33 days for those
fn Oh
days for the late season bolls, with no
consistent differences between varie-
ties.
A copy of Department Circular No.
4O1-C, giving details of the exper-
iments may be obtained, as long as
the supply lasts, upon application to

Twenty was the average age at

Probably the most important crises
in any individuals life is when he
or she falls in love.
This is the most intense experience
to which humanity is subject.
1t has more to do with the happi-
ness of ones life, more to do with
the making or unmaking of ones
character than almost anything else.
Most of US do not live in our in
telligence, but we live in our emo
tions. We live by sentiment. And
the experience of falling in love stirs
the deepest emotions of the human
heart.
1t is doubtful whether any creative
work is ever undertaken unless under
the stimulus of his passion. We
know that the finest in poetry, in mu-
sic, and in literature owes to it it's in

that love plays the most important
part in every woman's life.
Love has been responsible for most
human happiness and for great part
of human tragedy.
There is no crisis in ones career
where he needs to use more judgment
and guiding intelligence than in this
crisis.
Love is one of those inspirations
that come from we know not where.
The Buddhists think that they can
remember some occurrence in for
mer career. Perhaps that is as good
an explanation as any. For when
love comes it carries all before it.
1t is curious to reflect that this
matter is in the hands of the COM
parative young people. In other
words, the decision of subject that
is most important in life does not
depend upon the old or the mature,
but upon the young and impulsive.
