 Inflnching in his stand that his healing services are of a divine na- ture, Dr. Straton struck bac at pr. Louis l.

VANDERBILT STARTS
 SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Says Wife Hurt His Newspaper
 Activities

Reno, New, Nov. II tP'-Charging that his wife discouraged his news paper activities because little time remained for social affairs, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who lost a fortune in tabloid publication ventures, has filed suit here for a divorce.
 Scarcely had the complaint been ent cred in district court yesterday, before attorneys for Mrs Vanderbilt filed a cross complaint charging de sertion. No mention was made of financial settlement.
 Attorneys for Mrs Vanderbilt in dicated they expected no contest in obtaining a decree Of divorce for her.
 Mrs. Vanderbilt was Rachel Little ton of Chattanooga, Tenn, a half sister Of Martin w. LittlGton, proni- nent New York lawyer. She was married 10 Vanderbilt i1 April, 1920. The wedding found members of New 1ork's most exclusive society nlinglins with doughhoy pals Of Cor nelius who served as q private in the c7th division in France.
 Although Cornelius had a large fortune in his own name. he con ,inued newspaper work which he en- tered shortly after his discharge from the army, Firing of writing for others, he established a tabloid newspaper in Los Angeles in 1923
 tahIoilC Sl Francisco and in Mana, Fla.
 Pressed for funds early in 1928, and refused further aid from his father, he decided to suspend publt- cation of the San Francisco tabloid. Restrictions also were placed on the Los Angeles and Miami papers. but these too failed to show a profit and a receivership was ordered for al, the tabloids,
 Announcing hn would attempt to pay all his creditors, Cornelius re- tired some Of his obligations with what remained of his inheritance, and began writing special articles in the hope of meeting all his debts,
 He moved into a tiny apartment over a New York toy shop and started to xrind out manuscripts. He did his Cwn cooking and worked lonS hours on motion picture seen arlos and magazine articles. He lived alone and but for his sister, Grace Vanderbilt, who sometimes A& Ln;p hiy,, q meal he seldom met friends of former days. He said he would pay every penny he owed if it took fifty years.
 Then came reports that a divorce was imminent and last summer he came west in an automobile, writing for various magazines on conditions In the territory he traversed. He ar rived here July 31, last and remain ed three months to establish his residence as required by the law recently amended from six months minimum.
 Vanderbilt spent most of his time CT. dude ranches in the vicinity of Reno and Pyramid Lake. He con- -inued to write of western life. He accepted several invitations to ad- drtss c]ubB.
 His divorce con rplaint was brief, IT. charged mental cruelty, alleging his wife offered no encouragement In his publishing enterprises and that this caused him to become un- happy and discontented. He said she insisted be abandon his chosen career for a line of endeavor per hitting moro attention to social af- fairs
 Mrs vanderbilt's cross complaint alleged he deserted her more than two years ago.

Opinions of Others
LEST WE FORGET


Ever since that new method of road
engineering started dragging the fl
ling out to the edge of the road MAX
ing a ridge so that all the water
that comes on the road by rain, snow
or overflow must stay there, making
a ditch in the center of the road in
place of having it along the side
where it belongs, have said: this
may be alright as long as we have
no rain or snow, but oh! when we do
get wet seasons. And now we have
it.
The Elwell road has never been in
such bad shape as it is now and was
last fall, since the first year or two
after it was graded.
l understand we are to have the
road graded up next summer. Would
it not then be good idea to adopt
the old style of keeping the road in
shape so the water can drain off?
BY all means do not make ridge
along the ditch so the water can't
drain off. 1t is also impossible to
cut the weeds along the roadside
when that ridge is there.

IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE

In discussing the relation of in
surance to finance and industry, Harry
C. Wilbur, a nationally known ana
lyst of economics, says:
"All business is inter-knit, pros
perity of each is best promoted by
the prosperity of all, and that business
is most worthy which serves most.
Fire insurance touches each and every
activity of life, and more than any
other one business, it knits them all
into one concrete whole. s.
"a remarkable thing about the SER
vice of fire insurance is that it ; is
not limited to the great concerns of
America. Fire insurance is perhaps
the one thing that makes it possible
for little business, so-called, to remain
in business. The gigantic business
enterprises could carry their own in
surance if they had to. Little bus
mess could not do it. If it wished
to have reserve fund sufficient to
guarantee it's borrowing power at the
bank it would practically have to
double it's capital, and mighty few of
them could do that. Fire insurance
steps into this breach and covers the
hazard which makes bank borrowing
possible" -
Mr.. Wilbur then shows by chart
how insurance is the credit founda-
ton stone underlying our whole ffnan-
cial, banking, industrial, utility, rail-
road, home owning, and farming
structure. Any influence which in
jures or undermines insurance, in
stantly weakens the credit standing
and financial security of every bust
ness man, banker, home owner, and
farmer. .-....

CONGRESS ACTION
ON FARM BILLS
(By Farm Bureau News Service,


chester H. Gray, Washington rep
resentatlve OF the American Farm
Bureau Federation, has issued a sum-
mary OF the work of Congress pertain
ing to bills which had the annroval,
of the Farm Bureau Federation
Aside from the McNary Haugen bill.
which passed both houses only to meet
with the veto of President Coolidge.
Is bills pertaining to or affecting
agricultural interests, were enacted
into laws, while something like 20
others were either killed or final ac-
ton deferred through reference to
committees for further investigation,
or because of the filibuster in the
Senate during the closing days of the
session
Among the major bills adopted
were: A bill appropriating 100000
900 for eradication of the corn borer:
appropriation for expansion of barge
service on the Mississippi river be-
tween the head of navigation and st.
Louis; providing sanitary require
ments to be observed in the importa-
ton of milk; 100000 appropriated
for the development of domestic pot
ash deposits; providing for certain
reductions in federal taxes; continu-
ing federal aid to highways; appro-
priation for control of T. B. in cattle;
$S,600,000 appropriation for seed and
fertilizer loans to farmers in stricken
districts of the country.
While many of the measures de-
feated or deferred were of great i'm
portance to the agricultural interests
of the nation, the large proportion
of the bills which successfully passed
through both houses of Congress-, and
the very large majority given the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill on the final vote
supplies ample evidence that the voice
of united agriculture is respected by
the lawmakers of the country, and
should stimulate the interest of far
mers generally in the Farm Bureau
Federation, which mainly is respon-
sible for the solid front presented at
Washington. In union there is
strength.

BE CONSISTENT

Compulsory automobile liability
insurance has had many argu-
ments both for and against it.
The Industrial News Bureau of
Salem, Oregon, it appears, takes
broad view on the problem in
the following:
While everybody will concede that
all possible steps should be taken
to reduce automobile accidents and
protect the public from injury and
death, there is a vast difference of
opinion as to whether compulsory in
surance will improve the situation.
Insurance is social scheme, not a
police auxiliary.
Our laws already make a man Ii
able for injury which he carelessly
inflicts upon another's person or pro-
perty. Simply because these laws are
not enforced, is no good reason for
passing more laws to further reduce
individual responsibility.
There is just as good an argument
for compulsory fire and life insurance
as there is for compulsory automobile
insurance. "A man may die and leave
family destitute, for relatives or the
state to care form fact this happens
much oftener than cases where a per-
son or family is left destitute because
of an accident caused by an ire
sponsible automobile driver. The
same situation applies in fire careless
ness. At present our enforcement of
laws is so lax that a man can care
lessly burn down your house and burn
up your family and he goes scot-free
the city even spending large sums
to put out carelessly started fires,
without any attempt to collect for the
cost of it's work from the guilty party.
If we have compulsory automobile
liability insurance, why not compul-
sorry life and fire insurance, as the
interests at stake are many times
greater than in the case of automo-
biles?

THE REASON AMERICA PROsPERs

Mass production, inventive genius,
elimination of class hatred, and re-
cognition by labor and capital that
only prosperous industry can pay
high wages, are among the principal
factors contributing to the high level
of industrial development and pros
perity among all classes in our coun-
try, declares Secretary Mellon. In a
recent radio address, he said:
"Our wealth has. come from two
sources. 1t is due, in part, to our
great natural resources and in larger
measure to the efficiency of our in
dustrial organization. That organi-
cation, by utilizing labor-saving de-
vices and other inventions and dis
coveries, has succeeded in keeping
wages and profits at a high level, and
diffusing prosperity among larger
number of people than has ever known
it before.
GAS a result, America is now the
richest nation in the world. We
have a greater income per capita than
any other nation. Our standard of
living is higher, and we are now the
leading industrial nation and the
worlds greatest creditor.
'It is organized industry that has
brought about the present unprece-
denied development in this country.
1t has made possible a uniform, and,
therefore, cheaper production of COM
modities with distribution and con-
sumption of goods over wide area,
so that in America we now consider
as necessities many things which were
luxuries to the preceding generation.
Both labor and capital are begin
ming to realize that they have a COM
mon interest in building up the great
industries which are sources of wealth
for all, and that in America, with the
opportunities which it offers and the
constant transition from poverty to
wealth, there is no place for class
antagonisms or class warfare.
1--WE have found in this country,
that by investing heavily in labor
saving machinery, we can increase
the productive capacity per capita
of labor, and also eliminate waste,
which is such an important factor,
in the attainment of national pros
perity. In this way, we can pay high
wages and still reduce costs, so that
the finished products are within reach
of the average man."
