Marriage Made Easy
In Iowa there has been started
marriage assoefation with the
avowed purpose of promoting
matrimony Its specific nietli
ods aie not stated but the con
cern proposes to found with
money contributed a fuud to
dower homes so that vounv
couples shall not begin house

u capital stork of $ 10000" 2
Iowa is free from many of the
economic conditions that teud
to erect an army of bachelors
and set over oguinst ifc-ou army
ol maids that at oue day now
gone would have ' been termed
spiuisters There nre no large
cities in which representatives of
the two sexes enter into tierce
competition for the privilege of
ol running a typewriter or call
ing '‘Here boys!” The great
resource of - the state is in its
farms The citizen who has ac-
quired a clear $23000 is rich
and independent The employe
who is certain of $ So a month
s better off than he would tie in
any of the crowded centers at
three times as much The finan-
cial stress of supportiuga family
in Iowa is reduced to a mini
mum This fact brings the mar-
riage association under a sus-
picion perhaps uujust A mar-
riage dower fuud would with
difficulty be expanded to pro-
portions making it equal to the
inevitable draft upon it The
Iowa man who wanted to get
married would hardly defer the
happy duy so ms to get u ’ useful
slice of the fund for a swifter
wooer would get to the fund
first Probably a wiser idea
would be one impelling young
folk coutemplutiug matrimony
to place in the bureau drawer
or un old toapot or u savings
bank the mm s they otherwise
would cover into the associa-
tion’s treasury for tbeu they
would be certain of some mone-
tary basis to begin oil If they
were to pay these sums into a
common fund the way they
could get them out again is by
no means clear J If thev were
allowed to draw out more- than
they put in plainly somebody
else must receive less or noth-
ing The association ' bus -the
aspect of an insurance scheme
wherein oue must marry to
“beat the game” as in life in-
surance' one accomplishes the
same end by dying Eveu for
the sake of winuiug compara
tively few consent to die alieud
of nature's stipulated time but
plenty would rush into- wedlock
without hesitancy for the Bake
of a dividend sufficient to pur-
chase an oil stove rendering the
asoociat ion’s treasury liable to

Where the- Adamsea Lived
Frequently some fellow with a
'grievance charges that modern
Kansas editors- are the greatest
liars on earth But' the fact is
that they can not hold-a candle
to the Kansas editora ol old As
evidence of this we print this
from tlie Kanopolis Journal of
July 21 1887: “It has recently
been discovered that the region
around Kanopolis-is tho Eden
from which -Uraud-fAther Adam
und Urand-mother Eve wens
driven for fooling with tho good
man’s wineenpav The stump of
the- identical ' tree under which
Mrs Adam was beguiled is just
south ol the' riyer im Hamilton
county The flaming sword
that gdakded the tree of life lias
-been stolen by the Indians but
the fig tree is ‘there from which
Mi's 'Adam manufactured her
fustilormble but' somewhat
scanty wearing apparel It is
dead now— probably winter
killed— but Jike onr flag it Is
still there and furnishes evi-
dence which the oldest inhab-
itant dare not dispute The soil
is just ns fruitful as in ye olden
time und produces prodig-
iously Kuuflawers can lin seen
that' will make a dozen' fenco
rails nnd a whole lot of curd

that they can only be roasted
