Farmers. liverymen, automobiles

A trip over the same will readily con-

the trip
AS this road is the only means Of
outlet for traffic across the river, etc.
since the bridge over the Calumet river

HENS ARE NOW DIVORCED
Special Judge John Gavit
Grants the Separation
Which Was Sought.

The divorce case of Helm VS.. Helm, in
which Mr. Jacob Helm sued Mrs. Gather
inc Helm for divorce on the grounds
that she attempted to convert him to
her belief by nagging him continually
about the matter, came up in the Lake
superior court yesterday.
Jacob Helm was granted a divorce on
his complaint, but Mrs. Helm, who filed
a cross-complaint alleging cruel and
inhuman treatment and incompatability
of temperament was also granted a
divorce.
The case came up before Special
Judge John Gavit who is sitting in
the Grand Army room in the court
house. and has tried a number of di
vorce cases this week
The case attracted a great deal of
attention for the reason that the com
plant gave Christian Science as the
reason for the breaking up of the fam
ily.

them are out in the world now, they are
still loyal to him and their school.

the occasion, and presented an invit-

about 9 o'clock and devoted an hour

The Indiana law now fixes the rate

rules are that a motor vehicle be

law also stipulates the numbering of

Of the contract, the lifelong desire Of
William and Ruth Chopson Of Warren
came one step nearer consummation.
These two aged people have already
given the sum of $4,000 toward the
founding of the home, and on the com
pletton of the first building have agreed
to give $40, 900 more in bonds and real
estate. Their gifts were made on two
conditions. the north Indiana confer
ence was 70 give 1000, and the home
was to be located in the town of War
rem, where Mr.. and Mrs. Chopson had
accumulated their fortune.
Conference to Raise $4,000.
The idea of founding such an insti-
tuition has been shaping itself in the
minds of the Chopsons for many years.
and both being aged they grew anxious
to live to see the fruition of their de-
sire. When the north Indiana con-
ference met al Logansport in 1907 they
proposed to that body that the confer
ence should take charge of the enter
prise and raise $25,O00 to endow the
institution which they were ready to
found. Many members of the confer
ence felt that the undertaking was too
big for the means at the disposal Of
that body, and it was not until after an
earnest debate that a favorable vote
was taken in regard to the matter.
