Maltbie in the superior court yester- day. Of the seven cases tried, four were from this city, the fourth one being postponed because a number of letters introduced were illegible and the court ordgred them typewritten and postponed action until this is done, Live dWith Mother. Elmer Elton of this city was grant- ed a divorce because his wife left his homé and went to lve with her mother. He salid that they were liv ing in Kensington and his wife mad a trip to visit her mother in New Liritain almost every night and re- quested him to accompany her. When he protested one night and refused te go, his wife packed np the next day and told him that she was going to live with her mother. Desertion Charged.

Roger W. Buhson has explained this by showing that the present de presslon started in the east in De- cember, 1919, reached Ohio in the later part of 1020 and 1s now cen- tered in the mountain states, With the exception of the northwest the depression area has not heen felt to uny great extent on the Pacif'e const. Phis he says is the primary reason why California is still prosperous. e, however, gives another reason which he 1llustrates as follows: “A real es- tate man from Los Angeles was trav- of the southern states. e happened to be in a small town In which a funeral was being held for one of the leading cltizens. Out of respect to one of his friends who was going to the funcral, he went along also. After the local preacher had read the service and made some laudatory remarks regarding the de- ceased he followed an old custom of asking any one present to add such words as they felt moved to say. No one seemed to he “moved” to add anything to the eulogy. Alter some moments of embarrassing silence, the stranger from Californin. ross and spoke as follows: “I did not know the deceased and hence cannot say anything for or against him, but I do know California and I want to tuke this opportunity of telling you all what a fine . state it is'" 1Me thereupon spent 156 minutes in tabu- lating the assets of his state. Advertising Responsible “This simple story foreibly illus- trates a great factor in the prosperity of the south Pacific states. 'The peo- ple of California believe in advertis- ing. They have organized associa- tlons to sell this state and its prod- ucts, We have been taught to eat California oranges instead of 1%lorida oranges. We eat Californla raisins instead of Louislana rice. We look toward California for the perfect cli- mate, when several other localities doubtless have climates just as good. “In spite of the 409 loss in their fruit crop due to a freeze last Web- ruary, and 506, loss in tourist crop, due to the depression in the east, Californja has kept on advertising. Instead of going into a serious de- Conditions in fllnstrated once more the fundumental soyth and west, “"Washington and Oregon have not fared so well during the past year. these two states have law that depressions start in the north and eust and continue to work Lumbering, the chief Indwstry of these states has for somo- time been in a depression, It has leen operating as low us 609, of its normal capacity, Building Situation “The ebb in this particular indus. try has been caused hy unfavorable bullding conditions and the fact that the freight rates are not cquitable, The lumber industry in this section I8 over 2,000 to 3,60 miles from its largest markets. The rail rate in- creases of 1920 gave tremendous ad- vantages to the southern lumhermen In markets long shared with the western interests, Some adjustments has been made to be sure and of course the situation will be eventual ly righted. “Agriculturally the Paclfic west has been going very well. Like California, associations have heen formed to market its products, Wash- ington apples are sold in every city in the country, and are the only ap- ples that I know of which are sold under the brand name, which the public has been advertising and has been taught to ask for. The strong point in favor of the coast farmer is that he practices a wide diversifica- tion of crops and is not crippled by a sharp price decline in any one line. Small herds of cattle are seen every- where. Dairying has developed along substantial lines. In scientific power farming Is almost universal. Just at present general business in Washing- ton and Oregon is about 909 of nor- mal compared with California which is running 9504. Fundamental con- ditions favor the two northern states Lecause they have been through the worst of their depression and should see a gradual and steady improve- ment later on this spring. Califor- nia, while relativgly in a better po- sition™ust now must meet the worst of the depression and at best can but maintain a sidewise movement at present levels. “If California manages as well as she has started in steming the decline she will stand as a unique example of the tremendous power of advertis- north- pression it has managed to execute a sidewise movement.

She has two children and the youngest was only seven months old. She has had to work in a New Britain factory to sup- port herself and children. Didn't Want Her The third case in which a divorce was granted was that Josephine Kloz against Francis Kloz, alias Francis Pickavz. Mrs. Kloz claimed that her husband had deserted her. They were married in New York city in 1005 and moved to Jersey Cit J. where their first child was born. Later they came to New Britain and while here, he sent her to Poland telling her that he would follow. He foiled to do this and his letters were few and far be- tween, She returned to this country and was unable at first to find any trace of him but she finally heard that he was in Westfield, Mass. She went there and found him, but he re- fused to have anything to do with Postpones Case. Judge Maltbie postponed the case of Albert E. Cameron of this city against Martha A. Cameron of Sherman, bes cause some letters which Mrs. Com- cron wrote to her husband in which she is alleged to have confessed mis- conduct, were illegible, and an order was issued to have them typewritten. They have two children, a daughter who lives in Sherman with her mother, and a son who makes his home in Norwalk. The father said that he would take care of the boy and the judge thought that the mother should take care of the girl. Cameron moved to New DBritain rec- ently from Sherman where he had re- sided for a long time, THEATER TI{A\\I hRRl'J) A deal was made yesterday where- by Mrs. Ida Horwitz and Mrs. Nettie Rotstein of this city have exchanged property at the corner of Church and Stanjey streets, valued at over $50,- 000, for the Princess theater and property, owned by Frank Wisnieski. 1t is understood that there was no cash involved in the deal Judge B. .
