MANY IN ARREARS
ON PERSONAL TAX
Campaign Against Delin-
quents Will Be Renewed.

Charles C.. Rogers, District tax collec-
tor, announced yesterday that the CAM
paign for the collection of personal taxes
from delinquents will be renewed with
great vigor beginning November l. 1t is
likely that a number. of seizures will be
made.
While the collectors have been at work
constantly since the campaign was first
started about two months ago, no con-
fiscations have been made recently. Most
of the bills have been so small that they
would not pay for the advertisement of
the personal property, If 1t were dis
trained. In accordance with law, when
seizures are made, the public sale OF
the property must be advertised. If the
property is not redeemed within a speci-
fed time, it is sold at public auction to
the highest bidder.
Most of the remaining unsettled &C
counts are very small, averaging about
s. each. Notwithstanding the small
amounts, an average of about s4O0 a day
is now being collected by the employees
of the office. When the campaign was
first started more than $1,000 a day was
collected.

MRS. WENGER CALLS SPOUSE
sport AND WILLIE BOY"
Wife, in Reply to Suit for Divorce Says He Has Tried
to eliminate" Her and Children

In answer to her husbands allegations
in a suit for absolute divorce, Ella Z.
Wenger yesterday said she never dis
played a violent temper to her husband,
Charles L. Wenger, at any time or in
any manner influenced the miserable
course of his life
Mrs. Wenger denies ever having as
saulted him. and says the only contact
she had with his shirt, which he said
she had yanked of his back, was when
he attempted to choke her with 1t, and
she was impolite enough to resist to the
extent Of tearing it." She swears she
never attacked him with any instrument
of any kiud-revolver, knife, of fat
iron.
Mrs. Wenger says her husband married
her when his circumstances were quite
humble, and that by her assistance they
became a family OF comfortable circum-
stances; that the dawn of prosperity
was the index of a joyous life for him,
while the existence OF his wife and chill
oren- were an obstacle which he has
earnestly sought to eliminate
The Washington herald., 1911-10-28

with fortune my husband became a
sport" said Mrs. Wenger land began to
consort with that class of gentlemen and
ladies' who, for want of a more descrip-
tive identity, are known as sports and
that he became in turn, what is common
ly known as a Willie boy consorting
with common women and sporty boys,
and despising the restraints imposed upon
him by his domestic situation"
1t Is further alleged by Mrs. wenger
that her husband became particularly
obsessed about women, that he left home
on Saturday, October II last and did not
return until he found that his then coun-
sc! could not accomplish his desire to de-
sert his wife and children without cause,
which did not exist
Mrs. Wenger further AYERS that his
chagrin is due to a letter he was pre-
pairing in his own handwriting, which fell
into her hands, the contents OF which
were something like this: Dear Ruth:
! certainly was surprised not to get
letter from you this morning, as sure
needed one to raise my spirits. for they
are at lowest point to-day"

gate from windmills and have for
ten years. Goohland Is in nor'h-
west Kansas. We will report later
just what they are DONG.
The third way to ilriglie IS e1-
derground thing. Pourus thing is
used and it is mighty good way
but it comes high, however it will
pay YOU big. You put the thing in
the ground from a foot to . foot
and half, at distance of Is feet
or less. While you are supposed to
put the thing continuous it may be
possible in sloping ground to not
put them close together The ex-
pense would be less if it will work
that way. If you do not want to
dig bitches by hand there are ditch
machines that will do the work
nicely.
This thing of land to irrigate the
most talked of system in use. There
have been agents here selling rights
to use a certain kind of thing but
they do not plant five or ten acres
to show how it would work. That
is too slow for them. They would
have to wait a year or two to demon
strate by a crop what success 1t
would be. We will have to do it
ourselves. They only sell the right
so it is up to us to try five acres
more or less. | believe man could
use his own thing and not infringe
on some of those ON the market.
One man here has already signifled
his intention to put in one acre Of
thing. That means he will have the
best garden in town. The satlsfac-
ton of raising the stuff is equal to
the dollars he will get out of it. In
these days of sand and cement make
your own tilingif they can't be had
of local manufacture.
The fourth way to irrigate is to
have a good supply of water and
run it in small bitches along the
side and close to any plants you
want to grow. Be there with your
hoe to direct the water, also have
several small sand bags to help di-
rect it.
Now is a good time to test the
thing irrigation. This very spring.
See what it will do for you. 1t is
wonderful what irrigation will do.
Try it.
