RENO RETAINS THE TITLE— Reno remains the capital of the di- , vorce colony of America, following the refusal of Nevada voters to ’ ' change the state's laws. A proposal, I submitted by referendum, that the i residence requirement of plaintiffs be lengthened from six months to one year was defeated by 3,700 votes. An- i other proposal, which in effect rati-); lies the present statutes, and prohib-1 1 its their alteration under constitution-, . al amendment for a period of at least 1 three years, was carried by about 3.- 1 200. votes. i Reno lufW been very convenient for ' those who wished hasty divorces. In 1 other states the residence require- < rnehts were from one to two years. After six p*HHh s in Reno a decree cad be obtaieid. Census figures show , that from 1898 to 1902 the Nevada di- < vorce rate for each 100,000 population i was 124, ami Indian territory had the < same rate. Arkansas was higher, with ' a rate of 129. Indiana's rate was 105. In 1900, the Nevada divorce rate for each 100,000 of population was 111. but several states had higher rates';

MMMWiaWMMM—MI—IuII I 1 11 tr~Ttr r_~L:".~ , < I « The Evidence of a Better Understanding THE last four ye;-, rs have marked the grow/h of a better understanding between the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the public it serves. Th s better understanding is evidenced by the fact that four years ago there were but 4623 stockholders on the books, whereas today the number has increased to 26,560. Misunderstanding necessarily disappears when people are frank. In the last four years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has published in a frank and open manner a vast amount of important news concerning its methods of refining and distributing petroleum products. It has explained the factors upon which prices are based; it has given figures which explain why the demand for its products, and especially for gasoline, is continually increasing; and bv its frankness the Company has prospered. The efficient and economical refining and distribution of petroleum products is a highly specialized Business requiring to develop. The very permanency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a dominant factor in the high quality of its service. Because of this permanency the management of the Company has been able to mature and carry out plans for service which required long periods or time and great sums of money to accomplish. In its efforts to provide a perfect service, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has developed a constructive and comprehensive Industrial Relations Plan to promote harmonious relations between the management and employe. This program includes adequate retirement annuities, modern safety devices, continually improved working conditions, and a practical plan whereby employes are enabled to accumulate savings and invest them. ° 1 This program tends to make all employes better citizens and better workers, vitally interested in Serving the public. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believe? hi fair dealing toward all, the public, its customers, its competitors, and its employes. Standard Oil Company • (Indiana) 910 So.

Indiana's rate then was 142. When the census bureau, always late with Its statistics, published in 1919 the divorce ftgures for 1916, Nevada had Jumped into the lead, with 6o? divorces for each 100,000 of population. Montana was next with a rate of 323. Indiana’s rate at that time was 201. Reno, as a divorce colony, lias been advertised by the vaudeville p<«rformers, the comic opera stage, the imragra pliers und others. The result has been the expenditure of large i unis in Nevada by wealthy persons who went there solely to establish residence qualifications for divorce. Evidently this custom is appreciated by the Nevada voters. —Indianapolis News, The recount of votes in Massachuetts to deteminen whether Henry Cabot Lodge was really re-elected by a meager plurality is now being made, but whatever the result, the fact remains that a very remarkable majority of the people of bis state favored his n padiation and so voted. For the first time in his long career, he returns to the senate, it he returns at i n i '""ll ’ all. with th« humiliating knowledge 'hat even in rockfibbe,! republican Massachusetts he is a, minority senator against whose re-election a great majority'of his people voted. On the representations of his own managers he received about h.tmo more votes than his democratic opponent. This uoes not take into consideration the 50,000 and more votes that were cast for the prohiibition nominee. In other words the best that his own manag- • rs can claim is that fully 42,000 more . people voted to send him back to his cloistered seclusion at Nahant, than voted 'to return him to the senate. That is not a very complimentary vote ' for an old man who will never again j 4 appear as a candidate before the peo-j I jie.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. |,

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1922

Th« republicans have a majority in , the Indiana house and senate, slight but sufficient to control. It is quite likely they will not see far enough ahead to change the tax law so that i the people will have something left alter paying taxes and it will take another two years to convince the voters that the new tax law is all wrong. It is predicted, however, that will be enough for everybody and there will be no doubt about it the next time the people vote. Forty-seven farmers were elocted to the lower house of the Indiana legislature, a sufficient number to about control any measure they agree upon. There is no doubt that the farmers need legislation and if they don't get It in the lower house in this state next year it will be largely their own fault. Less politics and more legislation for the people will help everybody and its a good time to start. It is said the new senate will stand forty-one for Newberry and fifty-nine in favor of ejecting him. If the Michigan spendthrift has the intelligence given to geese he will get out of the way long before a resolution is offered —but some officials are slow in taking hints and he may go on to his sorry finish, which seems certain now. 11 ■ l 1 . 'IL™ Just a year ago the arms conference ordered disarmament and the destruction of many ships, issuing a statement as to just how much this would save each man. woman and child in the United States. It might be well not to ask what you did with yours. There is evidently no doubt when we read the comments that the wine and beer issue won everywhere and lost everywhere. It seems to depend a great deal on what you want. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ <• AMERICAN HISTORY + * DAY BY DAY + * BY T. P.

Nov. 14.—Benjamin Baxa ter, who escaped front the county jail • the latter part of October, was repinee "d in jail Monday noon by Sheriff Frauhiger and deputies, to whom his 3 return to the city yvas reported by 1 ids mother. Papers granting his admission to s Kasthaven hospital. Richmond, for treatment, have been received by County Clerk Sawyer, and he will be taken away this week, likely on Tuesday. it was learned that Baxter in his . absence visited with relatives at I Frankfort, and then went to the home of a sister at Decatur. His mother i notified he Mas at Decatur, and went 1 there Sunday and had him return with her. He M-as inclined to balk when ofiici <ts went to his home and took him to , jail, but showed no serious resistance, i! ° Democrats Interested In Wilson’s Latest Moves By LAWRENCE MARTIN United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Nov. 14. —Woodrow ' Wilson's momentary return to poll'i tics, in his Armistice day speech and his lettfer to Senator Caraway, of Ar- , Kansas, has stirred the democratic ranks almost as deeply as the victory l in Tuesday's election. When Wilson proved strong enough physically to make his Armistice day speech and at the same time showed himself keenly interested in the future course and fortunes of the party, . by his letter to Caraway, many demo- , erats saw a solution of the party’s greatest problem—lack of leadership. With Wilson as the leader, other j pretentions to leadership would vanish, most democrats believe, and while | there would be disgruntled ones, the great bulk of the party would undoubt- , edly follow the former chief. But those who expect Mr. Wilson to be able to resume leadership or who , read into his speech or his letter in- , tention to try, have misled themselves, I the former president's closest friends ' warned today. , Mr. Wilson is still an invalid and , always will be, his friends fear. The , utmost he can do M’ithout a dangerous , strain upon his weakened body is what he did Armistice day—make a brief speech now and then and write letters, they say. x • Daring Mai! Robbery On Illinois Centra! Ry. f Marion, 111., Nov. 14 — Police t throughout southern Illinois were coI operating today to capture two bandj its. one colored and the other white who attempted a dramatic payroll robbery' from an Illinois Central train here this morning. The robbers, apparently unarmed, ' made a fast get-away with one mail pouch but missed in their haste a ■ bag containing approximately $50,060 ■ the payroll of the Bush Coal Mine I- No. 9. 1 Postal authorities were making an effort to determine the amount and character of the mail which was stols en by the bandits. p The robbery was accomplished by li one man. «ho appeared from behind “ a passenger coach just as the mail was being thrown from the train.

5 Exponent Os Law And Order Goes To Trial f . (Vailed Press service.* Topeka. Kansas. Nov. 14.—(Special • io Daily Democrat)—William Alien White, exponent of law and order, will 1 go to trial here a week from today - on a charge of disobeying ills brain - child, the Kansas indualrial court, he 1 declared today. ~ Governor Allen, who personally or- - dered the arrest of White, his poll- . tical pal, for posting a sympathy pla . card in the recent shopmen's strike. “is too good a sport to quit this case - now," the author of “Henry und Me" i declared today. 1 "I don't mind an cat." the emporia ■ sage declared. ”1 don't mind convic- ■ tion. I don't mind even going to jail to prove to the people of Kansas what . kind of a law they are carrying on s their books, but I would not like to I rest for life under the suspicion of > faking up a case “that means nothing and gets nothing.” “I will insist that the case come to trial,” White declared when advised , that Attorney General Hopkins had written Roland Boyonton. county attorney, advising if anything was done I in the ease it would be at the insistence of Governor Allen. j “No one who knows anything of , Governor Allen's fighting spirit can , believe for a minute that he will quit this case until it has been tried nnd , appealed to high courts. Any other . course Mould look like a shameless , frame-up for publicity that would , damn us out of public life.” - : BERKELEY TO MAKE COMMUNITY LIFE MORE ARTISTIC Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 14.—Music, . painting, sculpture, literature and drama will in tbe near future be of as much civic concern in the city of Berkeley as the maintenance of streets, the police force, or the equipment of the fire department. The Berkeley chamber of commerce recently decided that the artistic side of community life was being neglected. Hence a committee was appointed to organize and suggest the means of support of arts and crafts. The committee is composed of Berkeley citizens who are recognized authorities in artistic lines. Berkeley is declared to be the first city in the country to adopt the timehonored European idea of patronizing the arts. The plan outlined by the chamber of commerce envisages municipal support, and this has been readily promised by city authorities. Artists residents in Berkeley will be recognized, encouraged and assisted by the municipality perhaps in collaboration with a semi-official body. Creative artists in every line will be I sought out. The final aim is to have an “Arts Center," maintained by the city, where Berkeley's talented men and women may be seen, heard and appreciated, and it is believed that such an “Arts Center” will eventually be self supporting. Special committees dealing with music, art, sculpture and literature are already at work under the direction of Charles Keeler, poet, dramatist and author, and Mrs. Roger Nobel Burnham. well known for her direction and production of plays.

BRYANT Governmental Agricultural Statistician Written for the United Press Few Indiana farmers have lead a profitable year, but nearly all of them have full larders. That part of their crops consumed on the farm produced to a good advantage and they will not go hungry. The harvest is over, with the exception of some corn husking yet to lie doae. Fall grains are all seeded and the stand and condition generally is good. Soil conditions were not the best for plowing for spring sowing, but much of !t has been done. Other outdoor farm work has made splendid progress. Pastures are of little feed value, but there is plenty of roughage and the movement of feeder stock to farms is quite pronounced. Corn is the principal crop in this state and the price will average about ten cents above last year. Much of it has been contracted at above fifty cents a bushel. With an increase in price and an increase of approximately 6,500,060 bushels in production over last year, farm incomes M'ill show gross gains of around $20,000,060 on the cfop. The wheat crop for 1922 was somewhat larger than last year's but the total value was about the same. Oats were less than half the average crop, in many places not yielding enough to pay the taxes on the land. The loss from this source would probably be estimated around from $8,000,000 to $10,000,060. The hay crop was excessively large. Although the price was con siderably lower than last yea-, the total value was somewhat greater. Corn. Mheat, oats and hay constitute about 97 percent _of the cultivated acreage of the state, but in some of the counties other crops are looked upon as the real money crops Tobacco is quite important in seme counties along the southern border ami in many places tomatoes of which more than one fourth of the total prod • -e in the country is in Indiana, const!1 tute a very important crop. Both ' these crops yielded well this se is >u. High prices paid by the fanner for the things they are required to buy compared with the prices of the ’ things they have to sell is the cause ' of a of dissatisfaction—an J ' justly—for the unit value of farm ' products will hot buy nearly as much ’ now as during the pre-war period.
