Five years later she filed suit for
divorce on statutory grounds. 1t was
heard by ex-Justice William n. Cohen
as referee. and on his recommendation
Justice Bischoff granted Mrs. Stokes an
absolute divorce. with permission TO re-
sumo her maiden name. Further. Mr.
Stokes was by that decree forbidden 10
marry again during the lifetime OF Mrs.
Stokes. She had the custody Of their
only child, w. E. D. Stokes, jr., until she
remarked. The papers in that case were
sealed. and the grounds for the action
never became public. Mrs. Stokes later
raarried Philip NJ. Lydig. and her son re-
vorted TO his fathers care.
Five years after that Mr.. Stokes was
again in court as defendant in a suit
brought by a woman. although it was
another year before the matter was aired
in open court This time he was sued
for the maintenance Of child, then two

Mrs. Randolph also sued Stokes for
the return Of horse and carriage which,
she declared he gave her and then took
from her. During the hearing or the
cases it appeared that Stokes had taken
Mrs. Randolph to his Kentucky farm
for extensive visits on several occasions.
In the early part of February OF this
wear the friends of Mr.. Stokes were sur
prised to learn that he had been married
by the Rev. John y. Scudder. at Jersey

Financial Frenzy Here.

You have no idea" Mr.. Gary said. of
the financial frenzy which possessed
New York in that panic. 1t would have
been very easy for that panic TO have
gone beyond all bounds and affected the
entire country. Every night during that
time forty or Atty leading bankers OF
New York were gathered In Mr.. J. Pier
pont Morgan's library discussing the
grievous situation. striving as best they
could to give support TO the weaker
banks and prevent spread Of the panic.
From day to day these men did not know
what bank would next he attacked by 4
run Of depositors.
ANY man interested IN the banks of
New York at that time would no more
think Of doing anything TO injure any
other bank than one of us would think
Of throwing n lighted match into a pow
der magazine near us. He could not
injure another bank without injuring
himself. and any decent man, with sense
enough TO protect his own interests.
would not Intentionally do anything to
injure another"

SEED CORN

We want every farmer in Scot
land territory to bring us five
average ears of his seed corn. We
have procured one of Prof. Hold
ems Ideal Corn Testers and will
make this test for you. Thous-
ands of dollars lost to the farmers
every year through using poor seed
corn is a matter of vital interest to
all of US. A test of five ears is not
enough, every ear should be tested,
but this test will give you some
idea of the value of your seed.
This will mean considerable work
for US, but we are willing to do the
work and it is now up to you to
bring US the samples. Bring in
the seed at once 80 that we can
test as fast and as much as
possible.
