Judge J. C. Ouinn, of California, has gained j a national reputation as an authority on di | vorces. Hundreds of such cases have been j aired in his court - and he thinks he knows the remedy for such a condition, j . In fact Judge Quinn has mapped out ten j questions for wives and where the wife will ; tarry them out, he says, there will be complete l happiness in the home in which she lives. The j Gastonia Gazette carries the ten questions as | laid down by Judge Quinn and expresses the opinion that couples in North Carolina get ; along all right where the wives can truthful ■ ly answer in the affirmative the questions which follow: 1. Do you take into regard your husband’s income before you spend money? 2. Do you comb your hair and dress neatly for breakfast. 3. Do you put thought into your cooking?] 4. Are you willing to stay home at night “with your husband when he is tired from a day’s work? -o. Do you allow him the comfort of smok i ing in the house? j 6. Do you control your impulse to nag? ?. Do you take an interest in his business? B.‘ Do you bother him with all your petty I household worries, or do you try to make yourself as agreeable a companion as you did I before your marriage? I- .9- Do you make your home pleasant for his friends? 10- Have you gotten over the tendency to ward jealousy? The wife who fulfills the perfect mate out lined in the questions of course, would make anyone happier, but how about the husband? Does he help his wife in her determination to do just the things that please him and are best for him? It would be just as easy to find ten ques tions for men and they would be just as itrl portant to the happiness of married people as the qnes outlined by Judge Quinn-. - The nagging, thriftless, indulgent, careless wife is a handicap, of coursfe, but all the blame can t be put on the wompn. The men have duties and they are just as important to the happiness of the home as the duties of the wife. BANKS LIBERAL TO THOSE WHO AD VERTISE. F{ank L. Blanchard, of Henry L. Doherty & Company, of New York, told the Public Utilities Advertising Assosciation at its recent annual convention that companies which ad vertise regularly get more favorable attention from bankers than those companies which do not advertise. Why? Because the banks fed that “a company that hjs, advertising, won the good will of the public, is more likely to retain its position in the community as an, imp '• pose financial obligations that would be un justly burdensome. 6. to promote public good will by encour aging thrift, 'promoting safety, building up commercial enterprises and helping to make the city a better place in which to live. 7. To give reasons why it has applied to the State utility commission for permission to raise its rates. 8. To present arguments for the renewal of its franchise. The attitude of Jhe New York banks as! shown by Mr. Blanchard is characteristic of > business enterprises everywhere. The com pany which advertises has all of the advant age and the bankers know it. DRINKING AT LEGION CONVENTION. i. i Members of the American Legion in North Carolina added nothing to their prestige by their conduct at the Hickory convention. We are willing to give the Legionnaires the benefit ’ of the doubt and agree that conditions were ; not as bad as pictured, but at the best condi tions were worse than they should have been, j In commenting on reports from Hickory, R. < R. Clark, writing in The Greensboro News, j says conditions in Hickory during the conven- j tion must have been similar to those enacted!' at all conventions prior to prohibition. Then, j j it will be remembered, many people just went | [ on conventions so they could imbibe as freely I s as they wanted to of liquor and beer. It was , not unusual to see drunken men and then as v now they always made disgusting scenes of » themselves. I Mr. Clark also is of the opinion that the generous supply of liquor on hand for the ■ convention substantiates the charges of Pro hibition Administrator Ben Sharpe that liquor is plentiful in North Carolina. It must have l been plentiful in Hickory, at least, and as many of the delegates undoubtedly carried their i private stock with them, it must not be so : scarce in North Carolina. North Carolinians love the American Leg ion, its members and its work and the organi- j zation should take greater care of its conduct j lest it lose out in the esteem of the people. The ] fact that Legionnaires fought gallantly for j their nation does not give them the privilege ! of making drunken asses of themselves. The I real hero is he who obeys his country’s law as | well as fights for his country’s safety. MANY PUBLIC UTILITY STOCKS. More than 236,000 customers of electric; light and power companies purchased the se curities of those companies during 1925, and j it is estimated that customer-owners of the i industry now number 1,183,410. The capital invested by this group of secur- j ity buyers is put at about one billion dollars, I or a little less than one thousand dollars apiece, j The customer-ownership plan, or the sale of j securities direct to the consumers of the com- \ pany’s service, was initiated in 1914, and has | since been adopted by 226 electric utility com-! panies serving communities having an aggre-j gate population of more than seventy-five mil-j liions. Eighteen companies undertook their! first customer-ownership sales in 1925. = I WISECRACKS. All things come too late to the fellow who waits.— I Ledger, Lakeland, Fla.

Eighty-nine cases are less than one to a county, but they are several times as numerous as they should be in a state thoroughly alert to the danger of typhoid and pre ventative means. The anti-vaccinationist raises his voice from time to time, against any sort of bacterial inoculation to im munise the subject of treatment, but the anti-typhoid vaccine has proved its merit so positively that there should be no great hes'tation at using it on the part of those who fear the disease with special reason to fear it. Many North Carolinians coiiie within this classification. Self-protection is almost impossible under living con ditions which cannot be avoided by thousands in this state. Inoculation with the antibodies relieved the army of its dread of typhoid and it has saved many civilian communities from epidemics of the disease. It .is an ex cellent weapon to use m the light against the dangerous ! ailment. HEAD WHEAT WITH 88 GRAINS. Stanly News-Herald. , J. F. Cole, of Route 4, was in Albemarle Thursday |] morning. He tells the News-Herald that he produced 11 a head of wheat this year containing 88 grains. Th- J wheat was of a different variety from that sown on the 11 field from which the large head man take*. The other Ij wheat was a bearded variety while the hx head with the : 88 grains was of the beardless kind. Hr. Ole says he I still has the head of wheat far any ‘doubting Thomas" to see and examine for himself. He wffl keep it until sowing tune this fall, when he expects to row the KS grains in his gardelt. He believes he will reap a peck ! of wheat next year from this one bead. j When,#/s swid .that the-average wheat head, that is. j the average good wheat head w?t over 40 45 grains, it will be realised produced some wheat head this year.

X, ■ -vL . j tL Vt'fca THE COtJCORb tour TRIBUNE Struggle Betweenthe Mexican Government and Catholic Church City, Aug. 27.—hW— The struggle between the Mexican govern tueiit and the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico is the most recent climax of 11 more or less active controversy that has been smouldering for seventy years. Rarely before iias it taken such a 1 dramatic turn as dring the past weeks ) since July 31st. when the govern ment’s'' new religious regulations, on 1 forcing the 130th clause of the Con stitution of 1917. went into effect. The church has battled with one of its most powerful weapons, which has been described as virtually a “partial interdict’’ By the withdrawal of all priests from participation in their of fices. The government has answered by placing lay committees in charge : of the structures and permitting unin terrupted entrance to their congrega tions. The church’s supporters, principally the League for the Defense of Re ligious Liberty, has called ui>on Mex ico's 10.000.000 or more Catholics to 1 carry on an “economic boycott” and to reduce to a minimum their pur chases and pleasure seeking activities. The government has denied that this boycott has had any appreciable af fect on Mexico’s economic life, Mex ico City, apparently is not much as- j fected, but reports from other districts ' indicate that it has been effective, and I business men have been watching the 1 situation anxiously. The church has stated, through its leaders, without qualification, that it will not countenance revolution, but ! the government is holding soldiers 1 ready for any eventuality, j Iu general the country has ap [ peared calm, although the closing of j the churches on the night of July | 31st, when the priests left them,And the subsequent inventories taken by | the civil authorities, have resulted I ill some fighting and bloodshed. The attitude of the government as j expressed by President Calies and his I | supporters is that the church qnd I | State must be separated, and that the ! 1 Catholic heirarehy must cease inter-! ! ferring- in politics. The church. 111 l rough Archbishop Moray del Riol and other leading prelates, has denied ; that it has meddled in politics, and j assorts that its life and freedom are ! being threatened by a hostile govern- 1 | ment. j The pope, himself, has been deeply j affected by the struggle and has of fered his personal prayers for allevia j tion of the "persecution” under which liis Mexican flock is felt to have suf ] fared. AVhcn the regulations went j''ito effect, lie called upon the faithful jof tile world to offer their prayers j for their Mexican brethren. The government regulations, in j brief, are as follows: No foreign ministers of any re i ligioti may function in Mexico; church - ' ownership of property is forbidden and" | all such property reverts to the State; - i religious instruction in schools is for bidden; religious orders, sprfl as con* ! vents and monasteries are forbidden: \ priests and ministers are forbidden to | participate in politics or to hold po litical meetings, to criticize the gov j eminent or criticize and oppose the Constitution, laws or acts of the gov ernment or to incite others to do so: ) outdoor religious ceremonies are for ! bidden as well as the wearing by | priests of their religious robes out | side of their eh arches or residences; | periodicals of a religious nature are | forbidden to comment on the govern -1 ment's acts or to print news coneern | ing the actions of the government, i Punishments may rapgc from a fine I of .>OO pesos, or fifteen days' imprison- I ment or both up to six years' im | lwisonmcnt or “additional” punish j ment as pile court may care to impose. ! Trial by jury in these cases is not provided. j j Before enforcement of these regula- i ! lions went into effect on midnight, . Jfl. v 81st, Archbishop Moray del Rio j »“<*
