dences; that there is an enormous
amout of building going on in Lake
county and the total amount of mon
ey involved is surprising.
The showing that is being made
would not be a sad one even in pros
porous times, but in a time of finan-
cial depression such as the country is
just recovering from it is remarkable
that there is so much building being
done.
The contractors and architects are all
busy and there is plenty of work for
every man engaged in the building
trades if he really cares to work

Complaints About One

MAKES WIFE SUPPORT HIM
Whiting Couple Also Find Their
Path Leading to the Di-
vorce Court.

There has certainly been trouble in
the family of John and Mary Scholtes,
if the complaint in which Mary c.

a divorce may be relied upon for inside
information about the case.
Mary c. Scholtes was a find for John
Scholtes. according to her statement Of
the case. Mary was iadustriou; ana
took care of the children. She sup
ported them by taking N washiugs and
doing other hard work
Her husband on the okher hand she
says, was lazy, drunken, abusive man.
At least that is what her complaint
alleges. He is 43 years old and not only
insists that his wife should support
him, but brought his father into the
family and insisted that his wife should
support him too.
Says He Swore at Her.
Mrs. Scholtes claims that her hus
band not only became intoxicated but
he was mentally responsible at the
time and used violent obscene and
blasphemous language in talking to her
She claims that all the thanks she got
for taking the burden of the respon-
sibility of supporting the six children
was his abuse and in addition he as
saulted her and threatened the chill
dren She alleges that things got SO
bad she finally locked the door against
him and would not let him in the house
but that he would break down the door
and come in anyway
Mrs. Schoites asks that her husband
be enjoined from entering the house
at any time in the future She claims
that as a result of her thrift and en-
ergy and what her father gave her, she
has a house and lot valued at s2,5OO
and personal property to the value of
$3.50
Wants $1,000 AIimony.
She asks that the bonds of matrimony
not only be severed, but that she be
given the custody of her children. all
of the property and that her husband
be compelled to pay her $1,000 alimory
and 500 year for the support of each
of her children.

suspects that Mr. Meader has spent a
