By KATHLEEN NORRIS

f1EN a WOIIldll WHITES
w me that after 50 many
w years of marriage -
three or ten or fifteen, she and
her husband have made the dis
NAL discovery that they have
absolutely nothing in common,
that they are beginning to jar
terribly on each others nerves,
that without wishing each other
any i'll, they can no longer live
together in anything but con-
tinual repression, discomfort
and utter futility, then / know
that sheer he, or both of them
are exhibiting a lack of char
acter and common sense.
It is quite different when
serious matters are infiuenc-
ing either one. Intemperance,
cruelty, infidelity may be valid
grounds for the breaking up Of
homes and the separation of chill
dren, although in the aforementioned
case I have always thought divorce
too high price to pay for tempo
rary weakness and vanity.
But when it is just general less
ening of affection, glamour, COM
panionability, mutual satisfaction in
being together, it means that one
or the other has let 60. Has stopped
the pleasantness that is friendship
in marriage, the eagerness to dis
cuss plans, the readiness to for
give trif1ing mistakes, the old honey
moon anxiety to be generous and
considerate and loving.
Once these are lost, they are hard
to recapture. It can be done. But
the wiser way is never to lose them.
Husbands Position Parallels Child's.
That a husband is in much the
child's position is a simple truth
that many wives fail to grasp. Cold
ness, sharpness of voice, scolding,
Indifference, putting the feelings or
the comfort of other persons first
her family, her old friends, herself
begins the trouble. Then when his
affections wander, and when she
suddenly senses that she no longer
comes first with him, it avails her
very little to reproach him, to ask
pathetically how she has failed him.
She has kept his house and borne
his child and never been unfaithful
and given him the best years Of her
life, she protests. What more did
he expect?
But if he is thoroughly alienated
by years of being just bill-paying
boarder in his own house, with a
wife whose interests run entirely to
her own beauty, bridge lunches,
matinees with the girls, friends he
does not know or does not like, she
finds-as thousands of women find
every year, that the neat selfish little
scheme she has built up is house of
cards and that she is being forced
to join the ranks of the divorced.
Dislike Divorce.
Most women hate the idea of
divorce. They suffer bitterly with
loneliness, once marriage is dis
solved, and they suffer more when
they realize that second mar
rage means life with another man
just as faulty as the first, and the
fearful problem Of the children's 10y
alties and their happiness thrown in.

Crop Estimate
Differences Told

Differences in Imperial Valley
crop acreage totals released by Coun-
ty Assessor-Qollector Dan West
and by the irrigation district were
due to the different methods and
checking seasons used by the two
agencies, West said Saturday.
The county totals include the
crops on the land when the county
assessment period begins on the
first Monday in March. County to-
tails do not show the new crops put
on the land after the crop there
soon after March l is removed,
West explained. The irrigation dis
trict totals are larger because they
include every crop grown in year
on each piece of land. -

Reclamationists are pleased with the
fact that the current budget recon-

for $50 100000 for reclamation pur-

his last previous budget message, the
president had asked for only s44. Off,

was recommended and so reclamation
projects actually received $78,614, 900

is some $15,O00,O00 less

INSURANCE BOARD REPORTS
THAT RATIO OF LOSS is OVER
10 PERCENT

Hal losses t0taling S95,4s5.09
paid in Montana during 1910 by
the state board of hai1 insurance
were the fourth highest In ~ years.
f. X. Bowman, chairman Of the
hail insurance board, reported. The
loss ratio was 1e.4 percent of the
total $S19, 894.61 In risks covered.
Collections OF 1910 hail insurance
premiums were more than IS per-
cent, one Of the best collection
records in recent years.
All approved 1910 losses were paid
promptly, although losses exceeded
premiums. Cash carried over from 1888
was partly used to pay the difference
and more than $4,000 remains to help
take care of 1941 losses.
OF the 1,040 farmers insured, S41
filed claims for losses during the year
Good yields during 1910 coupled with
the wheat loan program enabled many
farmers to pay delinquent accounts.
Collection Of almost 10000 In de-
linquent accounts reduced the delin-
1uency total to approximately SITE, 900,
he lowest in several years.
Largest payment went to Pondera
