FINDS ST. PAUL IN FAIR SHAPE ' INDUSTRIALLY (Continued From Pago One.) of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana. Statements vary somewhat as to conditions In these farm districts. Representatives of the Equity Cooperative Exchange, a farmers’ organization with headauarters here and which In conjunction with the American Grain Growers will handle 30,000,000 bushels of grain for the agriculturists this year, speak gloomily. There are more than 21,000 farmers In the equity. It once was associated somewhat with the Non Partisan I,eague, but not now. Its officers say the league is withering. The equity controls eighty-twp grain elevators, about fifty of which are in North Dakota, in addition to financing some others. It has paid dividends, but not for the last two years. The organization was created because of abuses said to prevail tinder the old system of weighing and grading by the elevator combine. The -.-tu.iy people say the great advantages they have brought about are. to a degree, In factors somewhat Intangible. In many instances, they say, they clean the grain aud thereby improve the grade. What that amounts to is not easy to compute. Before their advent there wasn't yt.track scale. Now the grain la weighed. They broke the back of the elevator combine and revolutionized grain handling. That, too, is hard to figure In dollars and cents. One thing certain is that the equity has become a potent factor in the grain trade. The St. Paul people speak of It with respect. Its officers have well defined ideas for broadening Its activities and spreading cooperative selling throughout the farm districts, but they say agriculturists are so hard pressed for ready money now they cannot pool their grain and command higher prices but arc compelled to sacrifice much of it CROPS GENERALLY REPORTED POOR. Except in one strip in northern Dakota, the Equity people declare crops are poor in the territory they serve. They say the winter wheat States have dona better and conditions are good in Kansas and Nebraska. On the other hand an unusually well Informed man of dispassionate judgment makes the situation appear somewhat better. Here is his summary: “Wheat—Good in quality in Minnesota and eastern half of North Dakota. Country elevator price $1 a bushel. Yield Is below normal and there is little profit to the farmer. “Corn —Biggest in history of this section of Minnesota and in the Dakotas. “Flaxseed—Fair crop on small acreage. Country elevator price $1.70. This compares with $5 during war. "Oats—Very poor yield and light in quality. .. “Barley—Yield small but better than ” oats. “South Dakota—Small grain conditions no better than Minnesota. “Western North Dakota—More grain than in any year in the last five. Bigger yield than In eastern Dakota. This will permit some substantial liquidation of farmers’ debts. "Montana—Conditions much the same

as western North Dakota. Better crop than in recent years. Previous five years were mostly failnres. Montana report applites to dry farming. Irrigated crops are good, as usual. “Oats sell at from 18 to 21 cents per bushel at elevator; high freight rates affect Montana and western North Dakota adversely. The livestock situation is serious, cattle and sheep selling at the lowest prices since 1915. Not only this but cramped credit conditions prevent farmers who ordinarily are buying cattle and feed them for market from obtaining livestock. “Sheep are selling at $1.25 a head. of most agricultural products so low as to discourage the agriculturist “If policy of not making loatis of less than $5,000 under the agricultural credits act Is carried out, the legislation is going to do less good than it should.” TOUCHES BRIGHTER SIDE OF FARMING. Next this expert touched a brighter side of agriculture. The dairy industry, he declared, was a great sustaining inflence and Minnesota and Wiseom'u had no end of first-class dairies In able . snds. The farmer having fairly good cream checks coming In monthly not only was able to buy all his necessities but some luxuries. These farmers were building up a co-operative organization that promised much good. In fact, the growth of the cooperative movement was manifest throughout every branch of agrioul lure. This gentleman estimated that farmer's elevators had added 3 cents a bushel to the return the grower got for bis grain. In connection with foregoing news here is the opinion of a farmer-tanker, who has just returned from a tour of the grain belt of the Dakotas and Montana: “Conditions are mixed. Crops are good in some districts and poor in others. Some farmers are riding easy and some need help, yes, need it and deserve It more than the man in Russia. "The increase in freight rates togetlnr

with decreased valne of his crops, has, to a degree, operated aa If to take his market away from the farmer. But, as I say, conditions are mixed. I have been a farmer all my life, together with being a financier part of my life, and while all of mj sympathies are with the farmer, | I want to tell you that if you go to one of the community picnics, you’re likely to | find that somehow in good years and ] poor, he is well-dressed aud has money to spend. ! “Good farmers succeed and poor ones ;do not. I, as a banker, examine the 1 farmer’s teeth and backbone when he wants a loan. If he grits his teeth and bis backbone Is stiff, all right. He must have good teeth and a good backbone to stick to the farm and make the success of it that Is possible lu this norwestern country of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana. He must have the courage to prepare his land faithfully and well after crop failure and fertilize It properly. He must rotate crops, despite his disposition |to take a chance, otherwise. He must play the game “uithfully uni courageously. He must know the chances for and against him. lie will know failure. But when he knows success and success is sure to come to him, he gets a reward in thirty or sometimes thirty-eight or forty I bushels to the acre, a reward that comj persates him for the period of disap pointment.

"They’re high in savings banks, but are decreasing In commercial oanks. How do I explain the high totals? Simple as anything in the world. The young people who made large earnings saved comparatively little in the perlor of Inflation. They were carried away by the spending spirit. But the bulk of the staid people, the plain common-sense people, and there are lots of them In this country of ours, they saved their money and they didn't Increase their expenditures unnecessarily and they added to their savings and those savings are a great safeguard for them toduy and a great sustalnii g force in the porlod of strain through which we have been passing.”—CopyI right, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

ATTITUDE SHOWS MARRIAGE VOWS HELD LIGHTLY (Continued From Page One.) “second wife” claimed she was to be a mother. The man in these cases generally put up the plea that they "will never do It again” If given another chance. A study of the divorce records show thut divorces are increasing among those who marry very young. Not a day passes, that Miss Margaret Mahoney, marriage lieenso olork, is not forced to ask the mother of the protective bride to sign an affidavit showing that she gives her consent to the marriage because her daughter is not of age. Many of these early marriage experiences unfortunately are striking snags In the mnrital seas which hurls them upon the divorce rocks. DIVORCES INCREASE AMONG YOUNG COUPLES. “The records show that divorce Is Increasing among young people," A. C. Sogemeier, chief deputy county clerk, stated while discussing the divorce problem. “It seems that young people who marry between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two do not realize the seriousness of marriage and Its obligations. If they cau weather conditions satisfactorily for the first seven or eight years, they rarely appeal to the divorce courts. “The trouble seems to be that In youthful marriages, the principals do not seem to know if they are really In iove. That's the reason It Is not uncommon for h young girl to state while making ap plication for a license that she has been married before and that the separation was caused by divorce. "Cruel and Inhuman treatment is al loged in nearly every divorce application. Adultery is not alleged so often because it is difficult to prove the suspicious of the plr.intifT, “The reason that more children are not concerned in divorce proceedings In this county Is because of the divorce of youthful couples or divorce at a very late period in life. Sixty per cent of the

Girl, a Blonde You May Guess , Would Sell Self for $3,000 CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Miss Catherine Peterson yearns for pretty clothes and an education and has decided she needs $3,000 to consummate her desires. To any one who will provide the $3,000 she will give herself In marriage, she declared today. "I will marry at once, if necessary," she said, “but I would prefer to wait until I have finished school.” Miss Peterson Is 20, a blonde and welgls 130 pounds.

divorces actually granted In this county are awarded on proof of cruelty. About 10 per cent allege abandonment and non-support. The divorce applications even this yonr, show that some wives at well as husbands allege drunkenness. “The records show that In divorce proceedings of young people, the wife expresses dissatisfaction evar the money making ability of her husband. Sho can't have the clothes and the like which she desires.” LAWYERS CAN HELP IN AVOIDING DIVORCE SUITS. Lawyers can play a big part In aiding the courts In solving the early divorce problem. There are some lawyers In the city who are known to be happy over the fact that consultations In their offices have resulted In young people Ironing out their petty differences. These lawyers are n great aid to the local ujdges. In some cases of young people, the evidence shows that the wife is not a “cook’' and does not intend to make a “cook” ot herself. The husbands In such cases generally are living only on a salary and when debts pile up, neither the wife nor the husband are capable or trilling to retrench to that degree of actually "getting to work” to save money. HOMES KEEP COUTLES FROM DIVORCE COURTS. Where the young husband provides an actual home for his wife and the wife becomes an active partner In creating and maintaining the home, such couples rarely land In the divorce courts. The judges emphasize this point—that where there Is mutual devotion to the cause of creating and obtaining a home of there own .there is not much danger of divorce developing In such families. Os course there are exceptions to the rule, as the records show, but they are very rare. In some divorce complaints, the wife alleges that her husband ‘'deceived" her during courtship by claiming that he could provide a home and other comforts for her. In some rare instances, the wife alleges that her future buatiuad did not state the truth as to the amount of his salary. MORAL QUESTION AND DIVORCES. The moral question, which include* indiscretions on the part of the husband und the wife. Is another problem which Is giving the local courts much concern. it is evident that many men as v ell as women do not realize the dangers ahead when moral laws are violated. The evidence in soma cases of this nature are so revolting that It is unprintable. In some cases, the wives, corroborated by the family physician, have testified to facts of a most re-

volting nature. In such cases, the local courts do not hesitate in granting a divorce and often the courts denounce in a firm manner the moral violations which hove resulted In such conditions. A. H.

Thompson, 65, 1.010 West New York street, who died Tuesday morning following an operation, will be taken to Mooresville for funeral services in the Mooresville M. E.
