WILLING 10 WAIT BUT
 DOESN'T LIKE FERRIS

stamford Man wants Five Days No.
 ttcc for Wedding to Apply Be-
 forc Divorce ts Granted.
 HartfordI Jan. 2e.-AeThe story of a man who was willing enough to wait the prescribed five days for his marriage license bat couldn't quite see why he should have to wait to begin those five days until he re- ceived his final divorce decrse- from previous wife-came to light here today. He will have to wait.
 Recently Town Clerk George R. Close, of Stamford, wrote to Dr.. Stanley H. Osborn. state health com- missioner. asking If . prospective bridegroom who expects to receive his final divorce decree can file his application for a marriage license so that he can be married on the very day he receives his final decree. Dr. Osborn referred the problem to At- torney General Benjamin W. Alling. whose opinion. given out today says in part: ''The law of this state re- quires the applicants for marriage licenses to be single persons. As the under existing law is to be made at least five days before the granting of the license, it would seem to me that the parties must be single at the time when the appli- cation is made"

THE WOMAN VOTER AS A PROBLEM
Chicago Daily News).

Owing 10 the widespread interest in the prohibition
question, persons addicted 70 political speculation nat
urally are trying 20 gauge the influence OF woman
voters on the national campaign. "What will she dol"
il d question put by some newspapers especially IN
southern cities. The answers are not very definite.
American women who voted in 1920 and in 1924 did
not greatly influence the results Of the national elec-
lions OF those years. Only about 40 per cent Of the
women who were legally entitled to vote went 20 the
poIis-phenomenon not at all strange, considering the
remarkable ease with which equal suffrage had been
obtained in the States and the difficulty OF getting out
the full vote Of the ruder sex. Most OF the women
divided politically, exactly as did their husbands.
fathers and brothers and cousins. That they would do
20 might have been foreseen.
Tn some circles, however, the idea persists that 40
called moral and welfare issues unite women to q much
greater extent than they do men, Since prohibition is
regarded BY them a. a moral issue, it is claimed by
some 81 the drys that ~fcur-fifths Of the women will
cast their ballots for the republican ticket this year IL
Mr.. Hoover explicitly commits himself to the status quo
and opposes repeal or amendment Of the VOlstead law.
II is true that the great national organizations of
women stand for law enforcement and for a longer and
more effective trial Of prohibition. Whether in this
view they represent the mass Of the unorganized wom-
en- Of the urban centers is a question yet to be deter
mined.
Psychologists and sociolOgists formerly contendsd
that women we're too conservative, too emotional. too
disposed to put their trust in law and authority 10 Be
given the ballot Equal suffrage, 1t was asserted,
would lead to paternalisn and overlegislation, and
hence to the destruction Of civil and personal liberty.
This view has not been entirely abandoned, but expo
ricnce thus far has not lent il much support. The No
vember election may shed light on the interesting
question.
Meantime, it may be noted that in Germany, where
women's votes are tabulated separately, an analysis
in seven leading cities has shown that the women, at
the recent general election, voted mainly for the GEN.
ter parties, particularly for the Nationalists. Few Of
them indicated By their votes that they were either
radicals or reactionaries.

The World and All
JUDGES AND CONTEMPT

The most difficult job / can think Of Is that Of a
judge. The higher the bench, the more difficult the
job.
One Of the circumstances that makes me proud 81
America is the generally high average Of character and
performance among our judges. Quite generally the
judges feel the responsibility Of their jobs so keenly
that they carry off the role beautifully.
The exceptions are extremely painful for an Amer
lean to look upon. They arc the cases in which small
calibre men have been mistakenly elevated to impor-
tant positions.
And a judges bench is no place for a smalI-souled
man. A judge, under our system Of procedure. is q
dictator. n he doesn't like you. he can send you to
Jail for contempt or court. Your contempt may be a
contempt Or }. Fl. Bongbong. the Judge. and II may be
j~ustifiable contempt. But Judge Bongbong has the
power to send you to Jail or to take a great deal or
money away from YOU, merely because you happen to
indicate in the courtroom that YOU don't like his honor.
IL takes quite a man TO sit year after year on "a
judicial bench and never abuse his power. But. 70 the
everlasting credit Of America be il said. most Of our
judges make just such a record.
In Brooklyn recently a federal judge abused a rep
utable lawyer with language that one man doesn't use
70 another unless the other man IS in the language
users power. When the lawyer protested that he mad
never been talked to in that manner BY a judge before.
the man on the bench said, Would you like 10 20 70
Jail with your %clientg"
Well, there's no answer to that that n civilized man
can make. The reputable lawyer walked right out Of
the courtroom. What he in contempt Of that court?
II he wasn't he was no natural man.
This lawyer sat him down and wrote a letter to the
chief justice Of the supreme court OF the United Statea.

ing language. denouncfng that judge. The papers
printed the letter. and thus the lawyer. who had To

touch Of spring in the air had brought

Advertising Valley Products

AZ the annual meeting Of the Rio Crande Potato
Growers Association, the secretary. Paul Dye of
Brownsville. offered a recommendation that the asso-
citation create an advertising and publicity fund to be
expended in establishing markets for Valley potatoes
throughout Texas. and especially in the Valley and the
southern section OF the state.
in support Of TIE Recommendation he pointed OF.
that IN the Valley and throughout South Texas. which
should be a market for large quantities or the Valley
product. potatoes from California and other sections
we're sold in competition with the Valley product dur.
ing the period OF heavy marketing.
The recommendation offered By Mr.. Dive should re-
given careful consideration. There should he a market
"a Texas for practically the entire crop of early pota-
toes produced in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and
that market can only be created and maintained By
proper publicity.
The great majority Of Texas consumers are proba-
bly, not aware that the Valley has potatoes on the mar
Wet. Texans are probably as loyal 10 their state -
are the residents Of California or Florida 70 their r.
speetive states. But in those states the cooperative
include advertising and publicity in their annul bud
gets, and as a result the consumers know when ana
where they can buy local products. Growers are n,t
compelled to appeal to state loyalty-that LOYALTY i ex-
tended Voluntarily when the California or Florida resi-
cent y apprised that ne can buy his local products on
the local markets.
It is interesting to note that during the perod -
heavy shipment Of potatoes from the Valley. MANY ears
or Florida potatoes were received in Central and south
Texas markets, and later the Florida potatoes were
succeeded by the California product. In the meantime
the Valley growers were seeking markets in the North
East and West IL is only logical to presume that II !
demand had been created in the Texas markets. m.
saving in freight charges would have been far in cx-
cess of the cost Of the necessary publicity.
California and Florida have created their markets
by jndicious expenditures for advertising and publicity
and then providing the markets with products which
in quality and pack supported their advertising CAM
paigns. They did not expect consumers to hunt them
up in order to buy their products. Instead. they We, I
direct to the consumers, sold" then, on their products
and thereby created markets Of immense value 70 the
vegetable and fruit industries.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is not in position "a

Florida and California have launched, but the expe-
tIsnee Of recent years should be sufficient to convince
