Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— i.ct Me See Your Census. Gaffburg is terribly hurt because the census showed that her popula tion decreased .01 per cent during the past 10 yearsv That's right though: I remember when old man Smith died in the summer of 19 and 25. It has been pretty hard for a great many towns to show any gains with jake paralysis, birth control, parrot fever, Fords and Chevrolets having so much to do with life and death since the last count. Most places seem to be inter ested only in the quantity rather than the quality of their citizen ship. What will worry some of our towns will not be so much the de crease In population as the Increase of jobless men. It looks like it would be much nicer to have a vil lage with 1,400 working men and women rather than 500 folks with positions and 500 loafers. We could have had several thou sand mot;e people for Uncle Sam to county if we had taken in more ter ritory. Where you find that certain cities practically doubled In popula tion within the past 10 years, just look about and see how much of the country they have absorbed with the corporate limit line. Some Florida towns did not even get a chance to be numbered among those present. Villa Hits had a pop ulation of Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their 7 children in 19 and 20, but in 19 and 26, according to the real es tate advertisements, she had 1,899 souls within her environment, but the census man knocked on several hundred doors in that town the other day, and nary a guy did he have the pleasure of writing down. It is fine for the government to tabulate us every now and then. But if Mr. Hoover had thought to ask the census taker to find out what the financial status of each individual was, these Would be the answers: ‘Own your home? No. Own a cart Yes. Is it mortgaged? Yes. Bank account? No. Working ; regularly? Occasionally. Radio? . Yes. Do you want a home? No. Why? Taxes. . There are 14 other reasons why our town did not show a greater in crease, viz: Mr. Botts and his fam ily moved away. But yre certainly counted everybody that stood still long enough to be counted. We did not want another burg to beat us and we rejoiced exceedingly when Billville fell off 653. But Blllville , claims that she got rid of all of her undesirables and dead beats, and that’s something to crow about if you didn't but know it. In look ing over my books, I can pick out some of Billville's ex-population. A Correction Demanded. flat rock. s.

Nurse TeHs How CARDUI Holpod Htr Mm. W. A. Cox, a well-known professional nurse, of Born aide, Ky^ writes: "I was in very rad health, and only weighed 110 pounds. I read in tne papers about Cardui, and thought I would give it a try-out. After I had taken one bottle, I could see that 1 was improving. After I had taken it a month or two, I began to gain, and I weigh at present 168, and have weighed that for some time. I am how 65 years old, and can do aa much work as the aver age middle-aged woman can. "I would advise any woman, who is weakly and in a run-down condition, to try Cardui, but not to ex pect one bottle to make her well.

Husband Entitled To Divorce When His Wife Runs Him Off Abandonment Applies To Wife As Well As Husband, Court Says. Raleigh.—If a wife runs her hus band out of their home, he is en titled to a divorce in North Caro lina Just the same as a wife is en titled to one if a husband chases her away. The North Carolina statute pro viding divorce for “abandonment, being maliciously turned out of doors; cruel and barbaVous treat ment endangering life; and indigni ties, such as to make life intoler able" applies to the husband as well as the wife. A supreme court opinion written by Associate Justice Clarkson, of the state supreme court, was on record as upholding a divorce granted Ira Brewer from Dora Brewer in Cabarus county superior court, on this statute. The defense in the appeal had doubted if "it was ever Intended by the legislature that this statute should operate In favor of the hus band.” Justice Clarkson's opinion said the jury had substantiated evid ence that Brewer had been struck with an ice pick, been on the re ceiving side of thrown scalding wat er and that his trunk and all of his apparel had been deposited in his backyard. The opinion read that “accord ing to the verdict of the Jury, what, the wife did t.o the husband In every day parlance was ‘a plenty.’ 'Die language of the statute Is clear and gives the man an equal right."
