A. Showen defendant in the divorce
suit recently filed IN the common
pleas court by Mora b. Showen,
filed an answer and cross petition
through Attorney Charles III. Conley
Saturday.
The defendant sets up a general
denial Of the allegations mentioned
in the plaintiffs petition. In his
cross petition he ciaSms THAT the
plaintiff left home -four different times
and each time abrlpped the house of
everything THAT she Desired. He
says furthermore that the plaintiff
was qiIarrelsome and often remarked
that she wished he were dead. The
defendant says THAT the plaintiff was
careless and lazy and made his
home compare faworably with the
regions described by Dante.
The answering defendant says that
he as 60 years old, and ON account
of his detective eyesight and other
afflictions, is unable to perform
manual labor. He states that he is
indebted to the Marion banks and
iOan associations TO the extent of
500 and alleges that the obligations
were contracted because of the ex-
travagance of the plainuff.
The defendant prays that the
plaintiffs petition be dismissed, that
he he granted divorce and that the
plaintiff be barued from alimpny.

Red Cross Christmas Stamps.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp
crusade against tuberculosis promises
this year to be broader in extent than
ever before. While last year less than
20,000,000 stamps were sold, the pres
ent indications point to a sale of near
ly 50,00O,0O0 for this year.
The Red Cross stamps are issued by
the American National Red Cross, and
are sold for one cent each. They are
designed to be placed upon letters and
mail matter during the holiday sea
son. The money derived from the sale
of these stamps will be devoted to tn.
berculosis work in the localities in
which the stamps are sold. In this
manner it is expected that about $780,
600 will be realized for the campaign
against tuberculosis in all parts of the
United States.

er ought to be over the baby. He
suggested that possibly she might
want more expensive dress.
But the mother did not seem to
"enthuse" a bit over the clerks gusb.
How many children have your

"Oh, this is the eleventh." she re.
piled, carefully scanning the price
tags.
