Marriage Is, for a woman, the solution of the problem l'of getting passports to various European countries, tne an acuities or which became almost insuperable after the war, a Lucerne business woman has discovered. Before the war this woman, who is well educated and good-looking earned $10,000 a year by obtaining orders for millinery and furs from Royalty and aristocracy in the several capitals of Europe, as a representative of French and Viennese dealers. After the war while her former patrons had no money for luxuries a new class the war profiteers demanded her attention. The passport problem hampered her, however. She then formed the plan of marry-, ing men of different nationalities (every race can be found in Switzerland), and paying them to let her divorce them as soon as she had established a passport in her new citizenship. She at present has seven ex-husbands. . TRANSFER DENIED. NEW YORK. Dec. 28.

TheF
arm ana By William The Corwin farm in Jackson county, Ohio, recently was the scene of an old-fashioned barn dance, in a newfashioned barn. They didn't call it a dance party but a "wanning," but they bad the old-fashioned dances on a loft noor 6V Dyiiu reei, wnnoui upngnis or beams; had electric lights in Japanese lanterns, an orchestra, all the trimmings and a mighty good time. The tarn was designed by rural enginers from the Ohio U., and the community barn-warming gave all a chance to inspect the structure. Piinted invitations were mailed out, something undreamed of in our grandfathers' days. It may be remarked that rural engineers are planning a number of modern farm homes in Ohio by way of demonstration. Two Trumbell county farmers have agreed to invite all their neighbors to their house-warmings when their semi-bungalow homes are completed, to show the advantage of such new construction. Claims Meat Much Cheaper Chicago has a "meat council" and J. T. Russell, the president, claims that meat prices declined fully 25 per cent in the year ending Nov. 15. This relates to the entire country, of course, and is in line with government statistics. We quote Mr. Russell as follows: "A dollar spent at retail, which I eighteen months ago was worth only 52 cents on a pre war purchasing ! basis, Is today worth 74 cents when spent, ror meats, Dut oniy b cents when spent for other food. "Plate beef is within 6 per cent and lard within 5 per cent of the prices prevailing eight years ago." To Limit Cotton Production. It looks. as though the South is inclined to go the whole road in limiting cotton production in 1922. Cotton planters have suffered from overproduction at various times in the past 2o years and are favorable to a dras j tic limitation of acreages in order to j boost prices, thus making a short crop ' nrofitable. The cotton growers, merprofitable. The cotton growers, mer chants and bankers met at Memphis in mid-December, raised a fund for campaign expenses, and placed the governors of the cotton states on the permanent, committee to carry on the work. The commitee, a large one, is representative of practically all southern business interests. Never Got to Like It. An Illinois farmer who lives on the edge of the coal fields remarks: "We have grown used to having our stock shot and frequently carried off by the miners, but we have never got to like it." Then he goes on to tell of a township protective organization where the farmers contributed two cents an acre to a fund for a large poster which was distributed along the main roads and in front of farm homes, warning hunters against trespassing. The posters didn't do much good, at first, but the vigilance committee had a few arrests made and the hunters fined and that helped a whole lot. This farmer had an arch built fronting his lane and says a party of hunters drove right under that poster, parked their car and went to it. The bunch was arrested within an hour, was heavily fined the next day ,and at once proceeded to try to organize a union boycott against all the farmers in southern Illinois, but that didn't work. Mr. Casper relates that in the township just north of them five cows and a Shetland pony were shot on Sunday, Nov. 6. Wayne County Hunters Wayne county hunters are more considerate. A few cases where chickens have been shot and an odd sheep 01 two been laid low, comprise all reports of damage from hunters we have so far received. Now and then, how ever, fences have been broken down and gates left open. One Center township farmer scoured the country for three days rounding up a large flock of sheep which hunters had permitted to escape, after being frightened by gunfire. Our "No Hunting" signs arj painted on wood and hunters seem bent on destroying these signs in a wholesale way. Vermont Is In Line The Vermont farm bureau is to establish a state office at Burlington in January. Vermont has 14 counties and a population of over 400,000.

tne rarmer R. Sanborn ganized and the American farm bureau claims they have an average membership of 650, or a total of 7,800 for the state. The annual fee is $10. The drive in Vermont lasted for weeks and the state college of agriculture helped the work greatly. Charles E. Gunnels, head of the farm bureau organization work, canvassed and campaigned all over the state by making speeches to numerous farm gatherings and much credit is due him for the results. Fighting Over Wool Tariff. In their fight on the wool tariff before congress the manufacturers arc claiming that certain grades of wool "are becoming so scarce that a tariff will work a hardship upon them." The last quarterly report of the bureau of markets show to the contrary. It gives the amount of wool held at this time as being 650,000,000 pounds, oi about a year's supply, figured in the grease.
