Fuller's earth, so named from its
earliest use in fulling wool, is
rather rare. soft. friable rock whose
value depends altogether on its tex
ture and It's filtering and absorbent
properties. 1t has no definite compo-
sition, internationally, its physical
properties rather than a chemical an
alysis determining its commercial
value. Fuller's earth was first pro-
duced in the United States in the

FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
Governor Adjusts Case.

jefferson City.-Gov. Major has ad-
justed a case of wife and child aban-
donment in an unusual way.
A warrant was issued in Usage
county, Kansas, for the arrest and
return to that state of J. b. Stanley
of Sedalia, on the charge of having
abandoned his wife Edna and their
two young children about four years
ago. Requisition papers were OBJ
tanned for Stanley's return and he APP
peared here to resist being sent back
to Kansas.
According to the statements STAT
ley made to the governor, he and his
wife could not get along together and
they agreed to separate, she, with the
two children, going to the home Of
her father, at Lyndon, Kan, where
she is at the present time, and he to
Kansas City and later to Sedalia,
where he is employed as selling
agent for a Kansas CITY mercantile
house.
Stanley says that for two years he
sent his wife from $40 to Sl5 a month,
but that she never acknowledged re-
ceipt of the money. For a time he
was sick with typhoid fever and had
no money to send. Later. when he
recovered and found employment, he
resumed the monthly remittances, he
declared.
The governor said that even If
Stanley were guilty no good could be
accomplished from putting him in
prison, in view of the fact that his
wife needs all the money he can send
her The governor then said he would
withhold honoring the requisition ii
Stanley would give bond to pay his
wife not less than $40 month until
their children are of age.
Stanley's father, John w. Stanley,
a furniture dealer and undertaken at
Blue Springs, Mo, signed the bond.
