Where Are the Husbands of
YeSteryear?

Where Are the Husbands Of
YeSteryear?
Alas, for that lost Yesterday!
That sweet day of the Marry
ing Man"-before the coming
of the automobile, the golf
craze, the jazz mania, the flap
per, the bachelor flat, the night
club, the Sheik and the gigolo!
Somebody should write a
book about the Vanishing Amer
ican Husband. Like the buffalo
and the Indian, the species is
fast becoming extinct.
The only way to be sure of
getting married, these days, is
to jazz a man to the altar
before he is old enough to
know where he's going-or af-
ter he's too old to care. And
even when you've got him there,
he probably won't stay PUT!
The old-fashioned husband,
like the old-fashioned buggy,
used to last a lifetime, with
care and good treatment. But
the modern husband. like a mo-
tor car, begins to get unreh-
able, skiddy and wobbly after
two or three years.

Gould You Do Better?

If you had your life to live
over again do you think you
could better it.
If you could start with your
present knowledge, possibly you
might.
AS you have passed from one
period ito another you have
realized that you have missed
or passed up opportunities for
greater accomplishment.
In many cases you might
have created opportunities but
you did not make the effort.
It would take hard work,
close application and attention
to make them fruitful and you
were not willing to sacrifice
at that time.
You were reluctant to change
your mode of living, indifferent
toward fitting yourself for
something better and if you

Education for them is only begin ming, he said. From now on they must develop their own responsi- bilities.
 Life is one great school, Mir. Dunn continued, and each person must learn to achieve success for him self. Success is measured by what man is, not by what he has. The secret of success lies in hard work, coupled with vision and courage. The building of character is the most important objective, with de- sire to serve, MT. Dunn impressed upon the members of the class.

an absent family scedule which is to
be filled out by some responsible mem

ROUNDUP, Feb. 17.-(U.P)-
Roundup's 83-year-old hermit slayer
who claims he struck and killed in
self defense, will go on trial the lat
ter part of February or the forepart
of March, authorities have announced.
He is William Dunn, who is charged
with numbering his son-in-law John
Harrison at the Harrison ranch, 20
miles south of Roundup.
Dunn, an ex-policeman and detec-
tive of Chicago and other eastern
cities, is one of the strangest char
aeters ever to reside in this section.
He is reputed to be insanely jealous
Of his daughters and, at one time, is
alleged to have locked them in a
wire cage when he went to Roundup
ON shopping trip. He lived the life
of recluse in dugout on Bull noun
tain Visitors were discouraged by
display of gun.
According to the hermit's version
of the killing, he was forced to pro-
tect himself.
John picked UP gun and started
to go out" Dunn said. 81 said going

a knife and came for me saying, by
