MARRIAGES SHOW FASTER INCREASE THAN DIVORCES Washington, institution of marriage its position con: He Finds Recreation in Tilling Soil, at Same Time Aiding Wife in Stocking Family Larder With Fruits'and Vegetables Flower Garden Features Huge Dahlias.

Folks, meet Farmer JU Kussell McKee, mayor of the city of Joplin, his agrarian surroundings less than 10 minutes from the city hall. He's not just a gentleman farmer, either, but a leal dirt farmer who loves the soil because he loves to "see things grow." In old clothes, which he dons early mornings and late evenings during the growing season, he tills his own good earth with his tractor-plow, does his own planting, tending, harvesting; and if you have any doubts as to his crop success, a glance at his larder and "grainery" will be convincing. He "Loves" the Work. He has, in large measures, beaten the high cost of living, in these days when a few pounds of dried beans wilf kill a dollar, although he says that is not the basic reason for his taking up small fanning. He loves it, much better than he used to love to play golf, and it is a lot more profitable.

On two acres of his 15-acre "Lone Pine ranch" inside the city limits at Twenty-second street and Connecticut avenue, he produced in substantial quantities this year the following: Onions, radishes, lettuce, green beans, small hmas, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, peas, squash, rhubarb, horseradish, spinach, asparagus, cantaloupes, watermelons, pumpkins, sweet corn, popcorn, Dernes, sweet grapes, potatoes; straw- red and black raspberries, young berries, boysen- bernes and peanuts. And, as if that were not enough, he harvested and stored several tons of hay, set out a young orchard of peaches, apples, plums and apricots; and found time to produce one of the most beautiful gardens in the city, with dahlia plants almost as high as the major is tall. He also had a large and productive garden of ladioli and grubbed out hundreds of bulbs. McKee, who is proud of the fact that be was a Kansas farm boy until he was 25, started his present "town farming" enterprise only two years ago test April, and really "started from scratch" A Lot of Grubbing. That is, he had to do a lot of scratching and digging, because the 15-acre tract he.

bought was largely in scrub trees, underbrush and sod. He grubbed out the trees and underbrush and worked off some 30 pounds while clearing the place. He was rewarded, however, by finding an abundance of deep, rich black soil which be readily recognized would grow good garden crops. The erstwhile insurance man built a modest cottage for himself and Mrs. McKee under a large, old pine tree, the only one on the place, and named it "Lone Pine ranch." He built a modern chicken house and last year produced 750 chicks for market At the start, he also had a couple of milk cows.

After he was elected mayor a year ago last April, he gave up "livestock raising" and devoted full spare time to his gardening 1 diversified farming.
