Married For
Eighteen Years

Dear Mr.. Antheil: I have
been married 10 years. I was
very happy until two years ago
when my husband Lold me he
was in love with a young girl. He
is twice her age. I have talked
with her and she is very nice
but will not give him up. He
has even ordered me to tele-
phone her when he has been
unable to do so. Neither of them
seem to care how it hurts me to
see them out together.
II have been a good wife. 1
have tried not to talk to him
about this and act as though it
has never been. He tells me he
will never leave me or let me
down, but that he will never
give up the girl.
els it possible for a man to
love two women at one time like
this? I have thought of divorce
because I don't believe 1 can
stand living this way much
longer. But the scandal would
be hard to bear. He will take a
lot more from her than he will
me. UNWANTED WIFE"
If you are afraid of scandal be
sure that is exactly what you are
headed for, ugly scandal.
How can you hope to cover up
this affair when your husband
openly and shamelessly has two
women in his life? You are a
convenience. the other woman
q thrill to his senses.
He LOOes
Only Himself
He loves himself, not either
OF you. A man protects when
he loves. Your husband is max
ing both you and the girl women
to be pitied for their folly in
letting him get away with such
an arrangement. For two years

Farm Bureau
Votes TO Oppose
Pension Plan
Also on Record Against
Single Tax Plan,
Urge Defeat

Arguments for the propos-
ed $50 week for life pen
sion plan failed to sway I'M
perial County Farm Bureau
directors in their first meet
ing since June as the group voted
unanimously to oppose the cham
and egg pension bill, and further
urged voters of Imperial county
to vote against the amendment
which will appear on the Novem-
ber ballot.
The directors, who met at the
court house Saturday afternoon, al
SO opposed the single tax amend
ment and urged voters of the coun-
ty to defeat the measure. The
bureau supported the .,abor initia-
tive amendment.
T. D. Mccall defended the pro-
posed plan, pointing out that the
program would be n success be-
cause the funds would not be
hoardable.
Earl V. C. Northrop, Jim Brock
and Scott Foulds submitted argu-
ments for the opposition. Northrop
branded the plan as fantastic.
Same Action
c. o. Hoober, state delegate, re-
ported on the state directors of the
farm bureau meeting and discussed
that body's reaction to amendments
on the ballot. The state directors
took the same action on single tax,
the pension plan and labor initi-
ative amedmentS.
Hoober also reported events of in
teleSt to valley members which
transpired at the joint regional
farm bureau meeting in August.
Earlier in the meeting the farm
bureau unanimously endorsed the
Imperial Irrigation district power
program and urged valley residents
to vote yes on the PWA grant bond
vote, Sept. 80.
Oppose Regulate
Argyle, McLachlan, of the flax
growers association and Roy Wood
Cf the hay growers, appeared be-
fore the board to ask that group to
aid in the abolition of truck trans
portation rate regulation.
The bureau, after a lengthy dis
Cussion, voted 10 oppose the rate
regulation and to forward factual
data to other farm bureaus of the
state. Action will be taken at the
state farm bureau meeting in Oct
ober.
Frank Ballou and Harry James

Sudden disclosure of the decision
by Britain and France that the

came like a thunderbolt to the
Czech public.
Astounded by the action of nations
they had believed would stand by
them, the man and woman in the
streets of Prague were SO embit-
tered and disillusioned that within
a few hours they were looking upon
both SIdetens and Germans with
greater favor than either French

In street cafes, in hotels and in

heard.

cZECHS MUST SPLIT NATION
England. France Agree to
Giving Hitler SudetenIond
CzechosIovakia to
Fight Alone. Says
Government

PRAGUE, Sept. 10. tUP)
The government spokes-
man repeated late today
t h a t Czechoslovakia will |
fight rather than cede an
inch of territory, but there were
indications that the government
would at least consider the British
French proposal.
Evidence of softening OF the
Czech attitude came after a long
cabinet session. Although President
Eduard Benes, Premier Milan Hodza
and Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta
in the last few days have gone on
record against ceding any territory
or holding a plebiscite, the cabinet
took no decision one way or another
today.
That seemed to indicate at least
that the British-F'rench plan of
partition, in principle, might not
be rejected Immediately and might
even be given consideration.
May Be Paving Way
The independent German Ian
gauge newspaper Abend Zeitung
carried a front page banner line
reading:
Territorial settlement recon-
mended."
In view OF the strict censorship,
many political observers interpret
ed publication of such details as
aimed at paving the way for Czech
public opinion to think in terms of
territorial sacrifices.
The government meanwhile is
sued an appeal for calm.
The government decreed that all
newspapers must be submitted to
the censor two hours before pub
lication.
The government gave no hint of
its decision. 1t promised to safe
guard the country's interests and
it said that it was in constant con-
tact with friendly nations
Ready to Fight
AS the British and French cabi-
nets met at London, and the cabinet
met here under President Eduard
Benes to consider a British French
appeal to submit to Adolf Hitler's
demands in the Sudeten minority
crisis, a government representative
said:
I'VE are prepared to fight single
handed for every inch of territory
even If it means national suicide.
I'VE have not changed out policy.
We can not cede any territory Or
accept a plebiscite, which would
mean the same thing. We would
fight first"

Partition Plan
To Avoid War

LONDON, Sept. 10. (UP)y
Great Britain and France
agreed today to surrender
to the demands of Adolf Hit
ler and let him have his way
in the Sudeten German area Of
Czechoslovakia.
The cabinets of both countries
accepted the partition plan, the
French unanimously and the Brit
ish, it was understood, "in princi-
pie"
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain told his cabinet what he told
the French ministers who flew to
London for the final decision
that Hitler would march to obtain
satisfaction, whatever the conse-
quences, and that the present pro-
posals constitute the only peaceful
way out.
The proposal is to have Czecho-
slovakia cede to Hitler the Sudeten
areas where Germans form a ma
jority of the population. A plebis-
cite would be held to determine
the status of other Sudeten areas
extensively populated by Germans.
The remainder of Czechoslovakia
would become an international
ward, the powers guaranteeing the
new frontiers.
The decision will be communicate
ed to Hitler as soon as another
meeting between him and Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain can
be arranged at Godesber, on the
Rhine.
The attitude of Czechoslovakia
was not taken into account. The
ministers of Britain and France
