CHAPLIN FULL OF
SOCIALISM, SAYS
WIFE HOW III II. Y.
Insisted two Dresses and Coat
Enough for Her and They
iv. Should Last Two
Years
New York. Aug. 5. "I don't
really blame Charlie for anything,
He' an artist, and artists, I sup
pose, must have their, tempera
tnents." ' : '
Thus Mildred Harris Chaplin,
wife of the film famous Charli
C.'haolin of the custard Die. excused
her husband for the "unspeakable
mental suffering ana anguisn sne
says he caused her, which hare led
her to sue. for divorce in Los
Antreles. She is in New York
preparing to go on the .legitimate
stage, after completing one more
motion picture called for in her
contract.
Mrs. Chaplin laughed. In a way,
however, it was a wistful laugb,
Promised Her a Limousine.
"You should hear about- my
limousine." she said. "It was the
brightest tfhing 1 had to look for
ward to during the long days in
the hosnital. where I Was recuoer
ating after my baby Was born. I
was to go home in it Charlie had
promised I should have a limousine
and I had visions of nothing less
than a Rolls Royce. When I got
to the door there, instead, was an
old second-hand rtand-me-down
that Charlie had swapped in a
studio car for. I went home in the
thing and he wasn't even interested
enough to come tor me or to De
at the house when I arrived.
iYou know, though, Charlie had
socialistic tendencies and -insisted
upon thrusting them on ; me." she
confided. "He told mc two dresses
and a top coat were enough for .me
and should last tfto years. One auto
mobile in a family was enough, he
said, and he always managed that
cne for himself. The result was
that I used taxis and then he was
furious about the bills.
Was Always Gloomy. s
"He always hurt my feelings ter
ribly. Any time he thought I was
looking forward to any occasion
with happiness he'd promptly douse
my gsry spirits.
"I've always had a Christmas tree.
I fixed one Christmas. Christmas
morning when I took down the
presents, I was breathlessly expect
ant There was nothing to me from
Charlie. When I cried, he said he
knew I'd be expecting something
and he didn't think he should givl
it to me.
"I was just 17 when we were mar
ried, October 22, 1918. -He was 31.
I guess I had been spoiled. I was
my mother's only child and she al
ways dressed my hair and did every
thing for me.
Socks Were Full of Holes.
"Charlie wasn't only stingy with
me- He would have been in rags
himself if I hadn't looked after him
and bought things for him with my
" own money. I don't think he had a
decent pair of socks when w were
married, and his shirts and under
things and pajamas were frightful,
all full of holes and tears and rips.
Mother looked after all that and
when she had kirn fixed up he was
delighted. N
"I'll be in New York indefinitely
and I'm sorry I'm-just 19. I think,
perhaps, I'dsbe better off if I, too,
were 31."

Silk Shirt Craze Is

here yesterday with a load of fleece
to sell.
"Market busted, buying nothinsr."
said the dealer, and the raiser had to
haul his product back to the ranch.
What the farmer cannot get through
his head is why high prices and
shoddy . goods should travel with a
collapsed market for wool. ' '

No Labor Scarcity.
Through this redon there is no
farm, labor scarcity. Around Aber
deen the farmers have by a sort of
common consent fixed on 50 rents
an hour for labor, as agamst 70
and 80 cents in Kansas. A daily
wage of $5 seems to be the usual
mark, $2 or $3 below the pay in
some other places. In some cities,
such as Brookings, employment of
fices had to be opened to get jobs
for men instead of men for jobs.
The farmer here seems ro be reach
ing the ooint through the use of
more and better machinery, where
he is Jess and less dependent upon
migratory labor during the harvest
rush.
As to the crops, the section of
which Aberdeen is both ; gateway
and outlook, looks for the fattest
yield in years, harvesting is' start
ing up in earnest, and in some
places they are threshing.
Some experts say the possible
damage from black rust has been
exaggerated. The corn is coming
along strong, rather short yt stat
ure, but with ears like a Missouri
jackass. To the west-the hay crop
is reported to be bearcat, which
will help a lot in cattle raising.

: Advance in Farm

Lincoln, Aug. 5. (Special.) At a
special hearing held by the board of
equalization, objections of Lincoln
county citizens tcthe action of the
state body in raising farm land as
sessments 50 per cPnt over the fig
ures returned trora that county were
presented.
The principal argument in oddosi
tion to the 50 per cent raise was made
by J. G. Beeler, of Nbrth Platte. He
criticised the state authorities for in
sisting upon a big assessment raise
when property already is burdened
heavily with taxes and there is no
need for additional revenue. Mr.
Beeler especially attacked the policy
ot t akin it sales values of high priced
land as the criterion for determining
assessed values of all land. This, he
said, was not the proper way to get
at the actual value. v
. None of the Lincoln county offi
cials were present at the hearing but
several of them are expected ior the
general hearing of protests from 35
counties that are slated to be raised
on their farm land assessments.
The North Platte delegation was
composed of J. G. Beeler, W. W.
