We always thought they had th & res in the other place. —Fire and Brimstone — Memories While we are observing Mcmorial Day today it might be well to re- member that it rained last night, also a year ago Memorial Sunda It would seem that the weatherman always knows when Memorial Day is. Evidently he dcesn’t believe in holidays and taking the day off. —Nor Calling the Rain Off— Near-Beer Artists A certain local “artist” has paint- ed a sign for the brook trout aquar- fum at the Third Street Cafe and on this sign he has pictured two men in a rowboat propelled by an Evin- rude or similar moter attachment, castiing their lures to the breok trout. Can you fishermen imagine fishing for brook trout in ‘“nearby streams’” from a rowboat? And from that sign we should say that all art- ists are not fishermen. —Do You Believe In Signs?— “As Yeu Like It” The above picture may be said to ‘deseribe the kind of fire department this city would have if some of the “loyal” taxpayers could have their way. If they had their way, that's about all they would have after the first fire. —And Their Way Out— A Mark To Shoot At A Nellsville, Wis., barber a story which sets a mark for local fishermen to aim at.

West, (United Presg Staft Correspondent) London, May 28.—America has so lox![z been regarded as the home of quick and easy dviorce, that it has |eome as a distinct shock to staid |Britishers fo learn that the divorce jcourts in London are churning out 3decrces at the rate of one every seven and a-half minutes of working. time. Further, there is a waiting list of some 2,000 persons seeking divorces when the judges have time to spnre: The British divorce court is part of the high court of justice, headquarter- ted in London, and “The Probate, | Divorce and Admiralty Division,” as it is called, is run by Sir Henry Duke, pyesident of the division, and two high court:judges. One of these is |always required for admiralty or | probate (wills) cases, so that hither- |to there has hardly ever been more |than two courts working at the same time. British high courts sit from 110 to 4 p. m. week-days, except Sat- |urday, and the intervals between the ivarious law terms are lengthy. So ‘t;ernendous has become the conges- |tion. that strenuous measures have thad to be adopted. Wherever pos- machine refused to run any further.

Lord Birkenhead {was the first lord chancellor to tackle | divorce cases. | Lord Mersey, the retired octogen- arian law lord, and one of England’s igremc‘st divorce judges, also came out of his retirement and volunteered to lend a hand, disposing of cases with a;numshing spedd. Now as many as six or seven courts are grinding out divorces -at an unprecedented rate. tJustice Hill recently broke all records by “unmarrying” 138 couples in one minute. He . accomplished this by taking his ' entire list of “decree Inisis,” (the final divorce decree after \tbe statutory period of six months |from the trial, when the divorce is |pronounced “absolute” and pro- inouncing them “absolute” in one {bunch, after-the clerk had read the names. v The divorce courts = have never | worked very rapidly, and were usual- |ly in arrears in pre-war days but the | enormous ' increase of petitions for dis-solution of marriage is attributed to the fading of war romances, the huge proportion - of “undefended”’ cases, proving the failure of many hasty war weddings. The process- of “unmarrying” is. expensive ‘in Eng- Iand, the: cheapest ‘“‘undefended” suit costing over 50, pounds. - In the case of very poor people; a certificate may be obtained enabling them to plead “In forma pauperis” for about 15 pounds. The fact that there were over 2,- 000 cases in the last term list proved very disturbing to_the clergy and so- cial workers, and it has been alleged that such a system makes divorce too easy. On: the other hand; a very strong body of public opinion insists] that British divorce laws are too com- plicated and distinctly unfair on the wife. A divorce is far from being easy for a wife to obtain; ‘it~ being necessary to prove cruelty, and, or desertion, as - well -as misconduct, while misconduet -alone . is -sufficienf; ground for the male petitioner. After the “decree nisi”-has been pronounced,. there must_be.an inter- val of six months, during. which-pe- riod an official known-as “the king’s proctor,” is supposed ‘to: look into the case to see whether there is-any-evi- dence of ‘collusion, perjury, or crim- inal offenses. Usually - the king’s proctor ignores:‘the suit unless the judge calls his attention-to any' un- satisfactory features. ' HOME MISSION SOCIETY HOLDS ' FINE CONVENTION (Continued From Page 1) - | city.. Mrs: Charles Kerr of Long Prairie responded, assuring the ladies they were glad to come, and \‘.hanl_c- ing the .people of Bemidji for their hospitality.

Harnwell was their accom- panist. R Mrs. I. W. French, district presi- dent, then introduced the speaker o | the evening, Miss Rosetta Hendricks of Minneapolis, whose subject was “The Open Door.” She told how much | room there was for work, and what |the W. H. M. S. is doing; how it had | not fulfilled -the command of the gos- {pel “To go into all the world and | teach all nations,” but how the world was coming to it by the hundreds. of thousands . of immigrants - from all parts ‘of the world each year, apd these had to be educated and Chris- tianized ;- how the W. H. M. S. was sending trained workers among them for this purpose, and to teach them to be_good citizens; how they were al- so taking up the social settlement work, establishing industrial schools, children’s homes, hospitals, etc. ‘She made an appeal for more workers, more members of the society, and more funds to carry on the work. The meeting closed with song and benediction. The convention lasted throughout -Sunday. 'In the morning the. devotions were led by Mrs. Hoy of Minneapolis. There was special music by the choir and a contralto solo by Mrs. W. Z. Robinson, after which Dr. Zentz .delivered the mes-. sage. In the evening, devotions were led by Mrs. A. L.
