Call the child my son" or my
daughter" when they take prizes at
school or behave like angels, but lay
them on her when they are bad and
mischievous.
Raise rows over the bills every
month. Blame her for rents having
gone up, butchers meat being
higher, the price of coal and Johnny
having broken his arm and having
to 60 to the hospital. Make her feel
that she has consumed all the food,
monopolized all the heat and light
and worn all the shoes in the FAM
lily. 1t is so discouraging to a wom-
an who has worked like slave and
pinched every penny to feel that her
husband does not appreciate her
efforts to help him.
Always criticize your wife's
clothes. Tell her that her hat is a
freak and that her worst enemy
must have picked out her dress.
Remind her that she is getting fat
and losing her complexion and de-
mand to know why she doesn't look
like some woman who buys her
frocks at speciality shops and spends
half of her time in the beauty
parlors.
Never show her any sympathy
when she feels badly. When she is
sick accuse her of being a COM
palmer and wilmer and spend
your evenings downtown. She will
do little of serious thinking about
whether marriage is a failure or
not while she is lying up there in
her lonely sick room.
Always talk about how much you
admire the get-up-and-go type of
woman who smokes and drinks, but
give her hail Columbia and threaten
to leave her if she even looks at a
cocktail. Act like a martyr every
time a member of her family comes
to see her. Treat her mother as if
she were an interloper and snub her
father. If that doesn't make her
hate you nothing will.
Always be philandering around
with some pretty young girl. It
will make her mad enough to wish
you of on her. OKLA.
Answer-From all of which we
gather that it is just as easy to lose
a wife as 1t is husband.

When Husband Becomes Slovenly
Wife's Love Flies Out Window

DEAR MISS DIX: May tell hus-
bands few things about how to
lose their wives? A good way to
begin Is by going slovenly and
slouchy around the house. Never
shave, except when it is absolutely
necessary. A three-days beard will
cure any wife of desire to kiss her
husband. Go around in your stock
ing feet. Don't waste a clean shirt
on mere wife. Wear your soiled
one with the collar open and no
necktie when you are home. Be a
scatterer. Never hang up coat or
hat. Throw them, hit or miss, at
the nearest chair and if they miss it
and fall on the floor, it is all the
better. Scatter cigarette ashes on
the floor and avoid the use of an ash
tray as if it would bite you. Leave
all your soiled clothes and used
towels on the bathroom floor Your
wife will be wondering as she scrubs
up after you whatever made her
think she wanted to marry you. The
minute you get home get behind a
newspaper and never reply to any
thing your wife says. Merely grunt
Be one of the husbands who never
open their mouths except to put
food into them. It is so pleasant
for woman who married for COM
panionship to find out that she has
to spend her life with clam on ice.
Never be on time for your meals
Stop by the poolroom for a few
games on your way home of an eve
ming or drop in at Benny's for q
drink and an argument with a crony
over the political situation, while
the good meal that you wife has
prepared for you dries up on the
back of the stove You can raise
ructions over it and demand to
know why she has never learned
how to cook, but you will never know
how you escaped having the coffee
/ pot heaved at your head.
Never remember birthdays
Mothers Day, anniversaries, and
when you wife reminds you that
Christmas comes on the 25th of
December this year, shove a check
at her and tell her to get what she
likes, you don't know what she
wants. Nothing kills the love light
in wife's eyes like neglect.
Always remind your wife that the
childrens bad faults come from her
inferior family. Nobody on your
side of the house had adenoids or

Census Reveals Blow,
Nebraska Suffered
In Dry Decade
One in Every Ten RuroI
Residents Forced to
Seek q New Home
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OMAHO, July 20.-Nebraska reck.
oned the toll today Of q dry and
dusty decade. One in every 10 III.
raj residents has been forced to seek
new home.
The State as . whole lost nearly
one-twentieth Of its population In
the last 10 years, but the grim hand
Of drought lay much heavier on the
farms and small towns. Those
rural areas lost 88,954.
In the hardest hit south central
part Of the State, some counties
saw as much as fifth of their pop.
ulation trickle away as crops failed
year after year. Several recorded
Is to 20 per cent losses.
Much Land Blown Away.
In five years, 11,657 farm units
disappeared Some of the land was
blown away but most of the change
was regarded by Prof. H. C. Filley,
agricultural college economist, as an
adjustment to larger farm units.
Small farms became improbable
because of drought, he explained,
and farms now average from $50
to 500 acres.
/ Statistically, the States total pop
ulatlon according to preliminary
census figures is 1,313.441, as against
1,377,963 in 1880. The number of
farms declined to 121 $50, compared
with 1856 in 1885, when a slight
back to the farm" trend was no.
ticeable, and 129,758 in 1880.
Many Went to Cities.
Some of the farmers and villagers
who left rural areas, Prof. Filley
pointed out, stopped on their migra-
tory trek in the States larger cities,
most OF which showed substantial
gains. Increases in cities over 1000
were taken into account in figuring
the 1884 rural loss.
One bright spot appeared on the
map Of population changes. In the
semi-arid Panhandle, SCOTS Bluff
County gained 18 per cent. The rea-
son, Prof. Filley said, was irrigation
and new industry attracted to the
towns by the stable agriculture it
provided.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 20.-A
spokesman for Louisiana's 0,000,-
600 sugar industry joined the States
national Democratic delegates and
its reform" Governor today in a
revolt against Secretary Wallace as
the Democratic vice presidential
candidate.
Charles A. Farwell, spokesman for
the American Sugar Cane League
and lifelong Democrat, pinned on
"Willkie-f for President" button,
protesting that Mr.. Wallace did "all
in his power to destroy" the sugar
industry He declared the "Repub-
licans are Louisiana sugars only
hope"
The States delegates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention de-
serted Mr.. Wallace because of the
Agriculture Secretary's sugar quota
restriction program and plowup
campaign. They cast their 20 votes
for Speaker Bankhead.
One of the delegates, John Caffrey
of st. Mary Parish, announced he
would vote for Mr.. Willkie. At the
same time Gov. Sam Jones declared
he was against Mr.. Wallace 1000
per cent"
Mr.. Farwell branded. the Demo-
cratic platform plank Ito expand
domestic markets for domestic
crops" as "nebulous" and said it was
"weasel-worded" because it did not
mention sugar by name.
He charged that the New Deal
agricultural program had failed to
carry out the 1886 Democratic plat
form, which contained a much
more specific and comprehensive
plank
