I bad not reached the ago of maturity. But I fMnk this law is a just law la one way end In another I think the law Is out o place. There Is a clause In the state constitution somewhere w^ich pro hibits separation, once a person' Is married, and In view of this faeT do not think that our legislators should make a law req airing con tracting parties to swear to anything unless they will also have some way for them to get out of their contract through the name channels..

One does cot have to 'eave home or to change his occupation to find opportunities: they are all about. The trouble Is that 80 many of us devote too much Time to look ing over the fence at the other fel low’s grass, and thinking that if we only had his chance we would do things worth wbfter-while h*. like the^ ones here, may be thinking tho same way about us.
