t,on t,f love. Mrs. Yaabel Kersten.
wife of Ur. Henry C. Kersten, govern
ment veterinarian of Dodge county
lias instituted action for complete di
vorce.
Mrs. Kersten is (,f Spanish origin,
having met and married Dr. Kersten
in Porto Rico in J9nr. At that time
Kersten was a member of the United

romance culminated while the for
mer lieutenant was on duty in Porto
Rico. <
l he Kerstens came to Fremont

was appointed veterinary for Dodge
county. Two daughters and one son,
ranging in ages from 15 to 20, re
sulted of the marriage. The family is
prominently known in this v < indy.
Mrs. Kersten claims that dissension
first appeared in the family some time
ago upon her husband's return from
a visit to Ills sister in Michigan.
Since that time, she claims, he has
repeatedly advised her to sue for a
divorce as he cared nothing about her
and did not wish to continue as her
husband. She asserts that lie has
practiced cruelty upon her in various
forms, at times abusing her and re- 1
fusing to communicate with her for i
regular periods.
Dr. Kersten was formerly com
mander of tjie Fremont Veterans of
Foreign Wars post and is known i
throughout this section in agricultural
circles.
The wife asks for complete divorce
and custody of the children. The two
girls, she states, are dependent upon
her and asks the court to exact suffi
cient alimony for their support.

"Something must be done to lower
expenses of the farmer. Prices of
farm products should be higher and
should lie stabilized. 1 know of a
farmer in North Jlakota who shipped
a carload of potatoes last fall and
was out $U0 on the transaction after
he paid the freight and furnished the
sacks. Of course, he had the exer

ho received the top price of $9.90 a

Center. Ia.

are In better condition in every way
now than they were at this time last
year. He said corn selling now at
60 to 70 cents a bushel was high
enough for all farmers to make money
and nqt too high to be used for live
stock feeding.

crop of pigs raised by K. H. I’reston

Parents’ Problems
Should children eat between meals?
Children are full of life, and natur
ally become hungry sooner than grown
people, so that it in advisable that they
should have two slices of bread and a
glass of milk in the middle of the
morning, and again in the afternoon,
to make up for the amount of energy
they use in their play. For younger
children orange Juice is considered
very good.
"Oil, the Billboards,’ --Walpole
Creative Side of America Appeals to English Nov
• elist in Omaha for Lecture; Admires Willa
Gather, Hergesheimer, Sinclair Lewis.
"It is the art, the creative side of
America, which interests me the most
as I travel about through your coun
try," said Hugh Walpole yesterday
morning in Omaha. Mr. Walpole
spoke yesterday afternoon before the
Kino Arts society at Hotel Fontenelle,.
The English author arrived Friday
morning on a train several hours
late, brealtfastless and wretched, ac
cording to the' traditional custom of
bis countrymen, at having had no
time for a bath and change. He is a
tall, ruddy faced man, appaVently In
his late thirties.
"Warring against these creative Im
pulses there is the strong materialistic
tendency, big business, money get
ting,” the novelist continued. "They
are exactly opposed to each other,'anti
I wonder often which will win. The
money, probably.
Finds Many Changes.
"But I find many changes In
America since I was here three years
ago, an increasing interest in things
artistic. There are many more of the
attractive, red brick houses in the
Coloulal style, which is so suitable to
America, and so much better archi
tecturally than the old frame type of
house. And I find homes that are
eflarntingly furnished and really well
decoiated. But, oh, the b^ll boards
which you allow to be placed in all
the most beautiful spots!
Mr. Walpole does not intend to
write a book about America. His im
pressions of it he considers to<j su
perficial.
"It does not stir the creative im
pulse for some reason. 1 suppose it is
Europe’s historic past which is in
spiring. I think a man writes best
always about his own country, It Is
where his roots are,” lie went on.
Mr. Walpole’s own favorites among
his novels are "The Green Mirror”
and his latest hook, “The Cathedral." i
He ranks Joseph Hergesheimer and i
Sinclair Lewis as the leading novel
ists of the t'nited States, with Willa
Cather ids choice among women writ
j ers,
"I have not been back to Russia
since tho armistice, but friends tell
: me that hundreds of shops are open
ing in Moscow and Petrograd and
business is getting on the old basis
again,” Mr. Walpole said. He is the
author of the “Dark Forest,” a novel
with Russia in the first year of
the war.
"As capital goes into Russia the
country will become more stabilized. It
is the only solution in sight for their
problems. Russia has the resources
to ho a tremendous economic power,
i and I thipk she will bo in the near
future.” lie concluded.
Students Out on Strike
Havana, Jan. 12. — Higher educa
tion throughout Cuba virtually was
suspended as a result of the general
student strike, called by the students'
federation of Havana university to
enforce two demands for administra
tive and pedagogic reforms. No dis
orders were reported.
