MAN  IS  PUSHED  THROUGH  WINDOW
----------
          Men usually grin or laugh aloud when rats and mice are mentioned by women.  Here is what happened to three Shelbyville, Ind. men -- Stanley Jones,  Fred Sorden  and  Troy Arnold.   The three were standing in front of the Johnson and O'Connor drug store talking.   One of them glanced at the sidewalk and saw a large rat crawling out of a hole.  He jumped and told the others.  All three made a scramble to get away from Mr. Rat.  Arnold was pushed through a large plate-glass window in the store.  He cut his hands slightly.  The rat disappeared.

SAYS   HIS   WIFE   HAD
ROAMING  DISPOSITION
----------
(From Tuesday’s Daily)
          Ernest Arnold, of Fairland, charges that his wife,  Mrs. Florence Arnold, possessed a roaming disposition and stayed away from home for two or three months at a time, in a complaint filed in the Shelby circuit court, for a divorce.  Mr. Arnold is a railway conductor and asserts that the last word of his wife was that she was living in El Paso, Texas.  Cheney & Tolen are attorneys for Mr. Arnold.
          The couple was married February 15, 1912, and separated January 8, 1922, the complaint alleges.  Mr. Arnold states that on two or three occasions while he was absent from home, the defendant sold all the household goods and left home.  When she returned she told him it was none of his business where she had been, he states, and informed him she did not care for him and wished he would leave her and never return.  He asserts that she cursed him, said she despised him and frequently kept company with other men.

Kansas Letter

Lock Arnold, formerly of Marion,
tells what he has seen in Kansas
----------
Augusta, Kan, May 31, 1882
----------
          We have had a very backward spring, too cold for corn to grow.  The wind Seems to blow off a huge snow bank.   At this time there has been a change and we have it warm enough now.  I like the country very well, but will be able to tell better after I have raised a crop.  We have 80 acres in corn and are going over it the third time.  Wheat is good, but there is a small crop sown.
          I have not seen one drop of whisky nor an open saloon since I came to Kansas.   I suppose there is whisky sold in Augusta, but it has to be done on the sly.  There are no open doors to gilded saloons into which to entice boy and young men to drink to destruction.  A prominent business man of Augusta told me that he knew men in this county who before prohibition came into force, spent a large part of their time in loafing around town, and their money for whisky, while their families were at home almost starving.  Now these same men are at home at work taking care of their families.  Tell  Bell Sutton  that he is mistaken about prohibition being a failure.  It fails in this manner:  It puts clothes on the backs of women and children, where rags and tatters were before; it puts food in their mouths and brings happiness to their hearts.
