Whi n is « divorce not b divorce? is a
conundrum t !i<- people of the United
Stales nre beginning to risk themselves.
The Supreme Court of the United
States, in three recent decisions, holds
that a child’s right to a name is at the
mercy of State lines.
New York, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania decline to recognize divorce de
crees in other States, where the de
fendant is still a legal resident of the
State and does not appear in court at
the time the suit is heard.
In other words, in the eyes of the
law, the man or woman who leaves
New York State, goes to Washington
or Nevada, and becomes a resident for
'.tO days, in order to obtain a divorce,
has no legal right to remarry in New
York, and in the event that the divorced
party does marry again in another State
in the Union the marriage will not be
recognized.
One of the decisions t-ustained shows
to what an alarming condition the
country is drifting because of a lack of
a uniform divorce law. A woman in
New York, prominent in social circles,
became dissatisfied with her husband.
Shu secured a divorce in Reno,
Ncv. She returned to New York, and
after a period of yenrs remarried. She
was arrested on a charge of bigamy,
and the charge was sustained by the
.Supreme Court of tiie State.
In ari ably written article in a recent
monthly publication I!. Gerald Chapin,
of the New York bar, gives facts which
will convince the most doubtful. He
proves from court records that have
been sustained by the highest tribunal
ill the country that a mail may have a
divorced wife in one State and a legal
wife in another, but that in the event
he returns to the first State v.ife num
ber one is Ins recognized wife, and wife
number two is legally his mistress.
The children of the first wife nre heirs-
at-law, while children of the second
wife, being illegitimate, are entitled to
no share of the estate left in the event
of the husband's death.
Here are facts that cannot be denied.
The record of over 20 years speaks for
itself.
Men and women who contemplate
Reno, the city of broken hearts, as a
fitting place to secure divorces had bet
ter be careful of their future ventures
in matrimony. They had better first
become familiar with the marriage and
divorce laws of the country.
For instance, tlio wife of a Mr. Sc-
mon of New York, whelm she married
in 1885, after live years went to South
Dakota and obtained a divorce on the
gro nds of desertion. She returned to
New York in 1891 and married a man
of wealth named Kimball. It is not
recorded that Semon entered any ob
jection. In 1898 Kimball died, leaving
no will. The rendition of the North
Dakota decree marie her a divorced
woman in that State, with the right to
marry again.. In New York she was
still the legal wife of Semon. Her
relations with Kimball, in the eyes of
the law, were adulterous. She had not
a scintilla of claim on his great estate.
The collateral relatives of iKimball
alone could inherit. This decision was
upheld bv the New York Court of Ap
peals and a few years later by the
United States Supreme Court.
In other words, every State in the
Union, with the exception of South
t’arolina, is to-day granting divorces
against non-residents on mere publica
tion. Not many of these States re
fuse directly to recognize the decrees
grunted in other Stales.
Numerous other cases could be sub
mitted to show how impossible the
present divorce system is and what it
is destined to result in in the future.
Society will no doubt recognize such
divorces and remarriages, but the State
laws will not, and it is the children that
come from such marriages who sutler.
This is the strongest argument that
cun be made for a uniform divorce law.
It is high time the country awoke to
the seriousness of the situation.
February, 18(58, had no full moon.
This was the first time such a phenom
enon had occurred since the creation of
the world, and it will not occur again,
according to the computation of astron
omers, for 2,600,000 years.
Two Children Had Croup.
The two children of J. W. Nix. mer
chant. Cleveland, Ga., bad croup last
winter. One was a boy of (5. the other
a girlof 8 years. Mr. Nix writes: “Roth
got so cooked up they could hardly
breathe and couldn’t talk. 1 gave them
Foley's Honey and Tar and nothing else
and it entirely cured them." This re-
liable medicine should be in every home,
for it gives immediate relief from colds,
coughs and croup, heals raw. inflamed
throats and loosens phlegm. J. F. Lee

Amorim Prr*l
Mail-order houses have been a thorn
in the side of local merchants the'
country over for many yciirj They |
hive been denounced by business men !
and attacked in editorials time and
again, but each annual statement eh . vs
more business done and better profits
than the year before.
People may be exhorted to trade at
home—to support home industry—until
doomsday, but unloss the local stor*»o
in the smaller cities throughout the
country adopt the same methods that
have marie the mail-order business so
profitable, these pleadings will be in
vain.
Advertise! Advertising is the basis of
the success of these Lig concerns, am!
the manner in which the Houghton
(Mich.) Mining Gazette points out the
failings to those merchants who com
plain most against mail order competi
tion, will be interesting to many pub
lishers. After referring to the period
ical denunciation which mail-order
houses rectdve, the article says:
"Hut the mail-order houses go right
along doing more and more business,
just the same and notwithstanding.
They are now planning a nation-wide
campaign to follow up their catalogue
business. Rusiness men cuss them and
try various and divers means of at
tacking them. Hut abusing the mail
order houses never is an argument.
Saying mean tilings about them is
making them friends. Talking about
supporting home industry doesn’t get
very far, because the average business
man who talks about patronizing home
business usually buys moreor less of his
own personal necessities somewhere
else. There is only one way to com
pete with the mail-order houses and
that it is to do business the way hecloes
it. Don’t ask for sympathy because
you carry a lot of bad accounts on your
books. Glean ’em up. Don’t complain
about his prices when you can meet
them. Meet them nnd let your public-
know that you are meeting them. Do
your advertising and do it more effi
ciently than he does. His once a year
catalogue isn't in it with weekly an
nouncements of prices. Wo are not
suggesting that you run one big adver
tisement for a week or anything like
that. But make your advertising val
uable by its very attractiveness, its
continuity, and the plain statements of
goods and prices. We can show dozens
that are doing it every day in the Ga
zette. They are not sitting in the rear
end of the store kicking about the
mail-order houses and thh ungrateful
public. They are putting in some time
each day getting a good, straight from
the shoulder advertisement ready to
print in the morning. They are dis
counting their tills. Their business is
good. They look pros porous and they
show it, too. They are making money
and thinking about what sort of an au
tomobile they will buy next. They are
getting the mail-order people, because
they run their business right, keep
their collections up to the minute, beat
the mail-order prices, and toll the peo
ple about it all of the time. That
last item is the most important of all.”
Quit Pouring Your Money Through a
Sieve.
The ProRreBBive Farmer.
That’s exactly what we are doing
when we purchase every year $100,000,-
000 worth of commercial fertilizers and
then pay little or no attention to soil
conservation, letting the cream of our
land wash away, never to return. The
curse of the agricultural South is soil
erosion barren, gullied hi'.ISides that
never knew the blessings of a carpet of
green in winter; overflowing streams,
yellow and red with the very heart's
blood of our fields and farms.
There has never been and never will
be a rich farmer on poor land, there
has never been and never will be a suc
cessful farmer who does not make soil
conservation and soil building his pri
mary business. On the cultivated fields
there are two essentials to this end:
(11 a growing crop on the land every
month in the year, nnd (2) broad, cul
tivated terraces on the rolling acres.
Whatever his crops, the farmer who,
carefully and consistently, looks to
these primary requirements will have
laid an enduring foundation on which
to build a permanently prosperous ag
riculture.
Women may train their daughters in
all the ways they imagine to be picas
ing to men; they may teach them to
wiggle and squirm and reef in their
eyes and lisp out insipid nothings be
tween carmine-stained lips, and yet the
men will desert them to dock about the
girl who is fully and completely inde
pendent of them, and who cares very
little whether they fall in love with her
or not. It is natural for men to want
what they cannot get too easily, and
women cheapen themselves who thus
"stoop to conquer.”

$30,000 Tree is Insured.
Springfield Republican.
An alligator pear tree has been in
sured by Lloyds for $80,000 This makes
an American tree, situated in Los An
geles county, Cal , the most valuable
tree in the world, even o tstripping the
centuries old date palm of Arabia. It
is insured against ravage by wind or
rain.
This avacado tree grows on a fruit
ranch in Whittier, Cal. Last year it
produced 8,000 pears, which brought
the owner an average of 60 cents apiece.
Besides the pears, which are used exten
sively for salads, the owner received
$1,500 for the bud wood. The total
amount brought by the tree last year
was $8,000, which is equivalent to the
interest (at 5 per cent, j on a $00,( 00 in
vestment.
Not only is the tree valuable in its
production of fruit and bud wood, but
valuable products can be taken from
the fruit, allowing no waste in the
event of over-ripeness or spoiling. The
seed is used for the making of black
dye, and any fruit unfit for market
purposes can be s'queezed and the oil
expressed.
Recommends Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
"Last winter I used a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a
had bronchial cough. 1 felt, its bene
ficial effect immediately and before I
had finished the bottle 1 was cured. I
never tire of recommending this remedy
to my friends.” writes Mrs. William
Bri ht. Ft. Wayne, Ind. Obtainable

There is no more unfortunate thing
than a loveless marriage. The sacred
relationship is only hallowed by affec
tion, and without love it is worse than
mockery. But let the unloving and the
unloved be very sure that a worse fate
does not await them before taking rad
ical steps to change their condition.
There arc few wives who will not re
spond to attentions prompted by a self-
sacrificing spirit, and it is an easy mat
ter to repay devotion in kind. Few
husbands but are susceptible to sweet
and gentle influences, when the guiding
spirit is the one whom they promised
to “love, honor and protect’’—the moth
er of their children.
Money is a good thing, especially in
these times, but there is something
much more valuable. It is character,
the consciousness of a pure and honor
able life. This should be a young
man’s first aim to preserve at any cost.
