TUESDAY, JANUARY 6 THE MATRIMONIAL BALANCE SHEET One of the big cities, casting accounts on New Year's day, was much pleased with-its matrimonial showing until it observed the bedifside of the sheet. The credit side show ed 10.035 marriage licenses for the year, a clean gain of 25 per cent over the previous year. But against these figures had to be set 3,389 divorce petitions. It is surely something to think about when for every three couples who went to be married there is one couple wanting a divorce. More disquieting than this three-to-one ratio is the fact that the divorce applications showed a gain of 40 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, in a few vears. there mieht be as many divorces as marriages. The year 1919 was probably exceptional with regard to divorce, as in many other aspects. Large numbers of these divorce petitions were based on accusations of unfaithful ness on the part of "war brides' 'to the bonds they had assum ed impulsively, under the stress of abnormal emotion. More over, a great deal of the marital trouble represented in those petitions was doubtless a .phase ot the general unrest ana discontent that has prevailed during the past year. When government, business and industry are upset, it would be surprising if the currents of domestic life flowed as smooth ly as usual. Still, after making all due allowances, it is hard to nnd any ground for satistatcion in the matrimonial recora of that city or any other city. One source of hope suggests itself. Since 1920 is a leap year, and since feminine self-confidence is strengthened by the war experience and is 'about to be strengthened still mor by full suffrage rights, perhaps the women will proceed to take the leading part in forming matrimonial partnerships instead of leaving it to the men. Then the partnerships may work better. HTPPOLOGY Harvard College is giving a course in "hippology," which has to do with the anatomy of the horse, his points, types, diseases, etc. Along with this theoretical course there is a course in "equation," " teaching the- practical handling and care of horses. Thus class-room and stable are combined, and equine science is associated with ability to ride horseback without falling off, or harness a horse without getting the collar on the wrong end of the animal or being kicked to death in the process. Many a farmer with a son in college will rise up and re joice (hat the colleges are "getting around at last to some thing sensible." Many other people will .wonder that such instruction as this should be undertaken at a time when the usefulness of the horse seems almost at an end, and some will suggest that a course in gas engines would be more practical. . The college authorities, however, maintain that the horse is still a big economic factor, and also a big military factor. It is the latter fact that provides the chief reason for this academic innovation. Horses are used, and will long be used, say army men, for the traction of artillery in the field, and instruction in handling them is "quite as essen tial as a knowledge of guns." The Harvard teaching is therefore made a feature of the Department of Military Science. It is also connected with the new Harvard policy of compulsory physical training for freshmen, and certainly has its advantages for that purpose. If college boys are like other boys, they would rather exercise with horses than with lifeless dumb-bells.

"No Occupation The census bureau so It seems, has classified married women with per fecUy good husbands and large flocks of children to watch over and care for, as persons having no occupation.

Maria, seta! county agent leader. Mr. Maris discussed the situation at the Pacific International Livestock exhi bition recently, and ia hopeful of Im provement along these line. "W believe there i great op portunity for Increasing the educa tional value of the county fair and small stock show In support of which the counties and state spend thous ands of dollar each year," said Mr. Maria. "Special feature ahows such as the Union Stock show, Dufur Colt show, Deschutes County Potato show, and numerous corn show prove con cusively that carnivals, wild west fea tures, horse and automobile racing are not necessary to draw crowd These events are, however, overshad owing the educational feature of the county fair. Proper Labeling Vital W should get the fair .out af some of their hsd hablta, or rely mora exclusively on the special feature how. Truper labeling of livestock and product on exhibit, and making more of feature of the judge' ra on for award are needed reform. Th casual observer who look at th yearling shorthorn heifer now often think that he I looking at matur cow. If th ahow are to mean some. thing to those who are not already somewhat prufesalonal in livestock breeding, greater consideration must be given to those who go to the fair to learn."
