WOMAN WASHES FEET:
WANTS $4,000

Atlantic, Feb. 15.-Away back in
bible days feet washing used to be a
womanly accomplishment, but it has
remained for Cass county woman to
resurrect this ancient custom and turn
it into $4,000 profit in two years
time 1t was just a little over two
years ago that John Franks, a wealthy
retired farmer of Cass county, made
trip to Seattle, Wash. Being afflict-
ed with rheumatic ailments, Franks
went into an establishment to have his
feet magnetically washed. The woman
who did the job applied her magne-
tism not only to Franks feet but to
his heart, and the two were soon
drawn together in matrimony. They
lived together for two years, during
which time Mrs. Franks took excep-
tional care of Mr.. Franks feet.
In return for this almost daily SER
vice in the foot bath, Mrs. Franks
says, she did not receive her full
measure OF devotion and love. On
the contrary, she alleged in court that
she had been cruelty treated ana
while the evidence in court did not
show Franks to be such bad man,
the court found that he was worth
100000 and that Mrs. Franks was
entitled to divorce and $4,000
cash. Mr. Franks is quite we'll along
in life, but still young in spirit. He
has sufficient funds to hire foot
bather at the rate of $4,000 year
for the balance Of his natural life II
he should care to.

VIOLATE HUNTERS
LICENSE; REVOKED

Council Bluffs, Feb. 15.-Formal no
tice has been mailed from the office
of County Auditor Hannah to John
Stoeffels and Walter Delahoyde, the
two men convicted short time ago
of killing a deer near Avoca, that
their hunting licenses have been re-
voked This action was taken upon
the request of the state game ami
fish warden.
1t seems that when the two men
were charged in court at Avoca with
the illegal killing of the deer, they
were charged not only with illegal
hunting, but with hunting on en-
closed and cultivated lands without
the permission of the owner. 1t was
this latter phase of the charge against
them that permitted the revocation Of
their hunting licenses, as the law on
that subject reads like this:
ION complaint, the license Of any
person hunting on enclosed or Guilt
waited lands, without permission Of
the owner, may be revoked by the
county auditor"
