MARRIAGE AND MOVIES
The Kansas City Star suggests
that possibly "marriage needs mole
spunk." It observes that divorce
runs rampant ery ofter because it
is obviously fashionable and cleverly
excusable.
Even so; but the announcement that
the most famous cowboy in the
movies observes n western wag has
been sued for divorce impresses one
with n lnck of considetation shown
by movie stars for press agents.
The pages of these many-pictuied
publications aie devoted largely to
the stories of the beautiful home life
of famous actors and famous actress-
es and their husbands.
Anil then when this idea has been
f i inly planted when the public has
hem convinced that the husband is a
sou of Douglas tinder and true and
the wife a di voted helpmeet one of

RAISING THE I.USITANIA
That's a thrilling tale of the -.a
that comes over the cable from ten-
don relative to the attempt of Count
Landi to raise the Lusitnniii the most
noted of Germany's submarine vic-
tims dring the exciting days of the
world war.
Count Landi who has -ecuted a
three-year contract with insurance in-
terest to salvage the vessel is con-
fident of success. The Lusitnnin is
sunk in 285 feet of water ten miles
voff Kinsale Head Ireland.
It is planned to close all the water-
tight compartments in the big ship
patch the rents made by the torpedo
and raise her by expelling the water
ivith compressed uir.
There is said to be a laige amount
of bullion jewelry and other indes-
tructible valuables impnsoned in the
ship that will afford millions of profit
to the workers if they succeed.
The Lusitunia was sunk with a loss
of 1500 lives including many pinnu-
nent Americans in 1015. Her ton
nage was 12000. Landi expects her
to be in a fair state of pieservation.
"There seems to be no leason why
we shouldn't find her just as she-
sank for she was the sttongest -hip
in the world" Landi said. "She is
lying off n gi.ivel bed and prabably
the only d.image we shall find will
lie the hole blown 111 her side hj the
torpedo."

SOME OLD J-KELEIONS
Miss Ida T.'.tlnll the niagaini
Tvritei ha- bun in Pennsylvania late-
ly we learn seeking "lot.il lolm" at
the aiui-tr.il home of Abraham Liu
coin. Not fm fiom wheie the Lm-
colns lived in Iteiks lountv at that
tune resided another famous but
Pennsylvania-bud Kentuekian Dan-
iel Hoone.
It is to be hoped that Miss Tar-
licll's -eareli at the fountain head of
the Lincoln family will enable bei to
banish from a section of the south
the tradition that John C. Calhoun
was Lincoln'.- fnthei. The -toiy has
been circulated for geiieiations and
is actually believed by many Intel-j.
. . t
Jigent people.
This tale is akin to otheis that have
scandalized the eminent fur ages.
The scholaily 1'ioude took gieat pains
to di voice that Julius Ceasar was
the father of his own ns-a in Bru-
tus. The latest and be-t biogtaphy of
Thaddeus Stevens devotes space to
decluie that the famous Pennsylvan-
ian was not tlir -on of an obscure New
England fnimer but of the great
French stntesman Talleyrand who
was visiting Ameiiia the year before
Stevens was bom. The fact that
Stevens had a club foot was the basis
of the story which Stevens hod heard.
Biographers of Alexander Hamil-
ton have ever groped around the
identity of his father. Born in the
West Indies he came to this coun-
try when a youth and entered college.
Recently the legend has gone foith
that Hamilton's father was none
other than Washington n fabrication
as far-fetched as it is grotesque
Washington did visit the West Indies
when a boy and he had smallpox
while he was there but his admira
tion for Hamilton in future years
was not due to blood relationship

LAWLESSNESS HIGHER UP

We hear muih complaint from men
of his station about the turbulence
and lawlessness of the people but we
cannot see that they are any stricter
in obeying the laws them-elves.
The people look to their leaders
for ethical standaids; it is they who

th. ir evamplc i bad they should be
the last to complain if others offend.

COWS LIKE MUSIC.
Not long ago the employees of a
big Cnlifotni.1 dany oiganizetl a brass
band. They have discovered that thi-
ef fed of an afternoon concert on
the cows is miraculous. Milk pro-
duction is ineieased especially if the
band plajs jazz music.
The boys now seieiude the cows
every tiny according to the report
and the cows give mote and better
milk and arc some easily milked.
This seems to be something new
Of couise every farmer cannot af-
ford a brass band but there is usual
ly some sort of musical instrument
around every home from a jevv.shorp
up to a victroln or a piano.
Try music on your cow but don't
cut down on her feed bill. And don't
play "The Tune the Old Cow Died
