NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
by Helm Rowland

AlimOniacs- and AlimOnagamy
THE Great National Industry of
i America appears to be "col-
Letting alimony."
No chiyalrous man should
marry trusting little woman,
these days, unless he has suf-
ficient money to pay her the
alimony to which she is looking
forward.
The greatest shock of many a
sweet young girls life, is to dis
cover that the man who promised
at the altar to '1ove and cherish"
her forever, is a week late or a
hundred dollars short with the
alirnony.
It Is notwithstanding disappoint-
nent to marry a man for his
money, and then find that the
only way you can GET it, is to
take it from him in the form of
alimony. Every economist agrees
that "a woman should receive q
mans wages'-but it takes q
divorce lawyer to tell her how to
separate him from them.
If anybody NEEDS money It is

where she rooms. She left the

she is employed at about two o'clock
and when she reached her rooms, de-

She lighted the alcohol lamp to
generate the gas pressure stove in
the Black kitchen and shortly after
noticed that the lamp was not plac-
ed right to do the work and when in
the act of removing the lamp, the top
came off, scattering the alcohol on
the front of her dress and igniting it.
The unfortunate young lady wound a
dish towel, hanging nearby, around
her head and smothered the flame on
her dress with rug.
Although suffering intensely from
the burns, Miss Hellickson was ablt
to call for help and was rendered first

LAMBERTON WILL
CELEBRATE LABOR DAY

At meeting of the Commercial
Club last Thursday evening, plans
were laid to hold big celebration on
Labor Day. 1t was first planned to
hold harvest festival, but this idea
was discarded, as it would be neces-
sary to have two-day celebration,
which was not deemed advisable. A
committee was appointed to solicit
funds to put this day over big, and
they met with favorable response ev-
erywhere. Committee chairmen were
also appointed, they constituting the
committee of the whole, and each
chairman was instructed to select two
other men to complete his committee.
Tuesday afternoon these chairmen
met, and worked out the following
tentative plan: To properly adver-
tise the coming event by getting out
the required number of posters and
handbills and make a tour of the sur
rounding towns with our band and an
announcer, also to carry an advertise
ment in the papers of the neighboring
towns. E. w. O'Neil was appointed
to see the business men in regard to
floats in the parade, and the response
was almost unanimous, SO a big in
dustrial parade is assured. This will
be held in the morning, followed by
one free act. The Lamberton Concert
Band, which by the way is the best
musical organization in this part of
the state, will dispense sweet strains
both afternoon and evening. A base
ball game for purse of $3.50 is be-
ing arranged, but the details are not
as yet ready to be announced. Eight
free acts have been secured, namely
the LaMourses, recent Minnesota
State Fair attraction, just returned
from tour of the west, where they
played on the Orpheum circuit and
on which they are going east in Sept
ember, in a hand to hand and head
balancing act. The Ruomals, in a
knock-about clown comedy act; Kent
and Leon in a highly sensational ring
act and the Smith Brothers in COM
edy trick house act, featuring "Chin-
csc Laundry" Another 3-act feature
is being secured, but nothing definite
can be given on this at the time of go
ing to press. There will also be the
customary street sports, doll buggy
parade, and Elmer Bellig, the chair
man of the sports committee, will see
to it that there is good and COM
plete variety of items to interest ev-
eryone. There will be concessions, of
course, and S. C. Getting will take
care of the desires of those wishing to
secure places for stands. A horse
shoe tournament is also being plan
ned, and details of the entire program
will be announced from time to time,
