CONTENTION ON
ABOUT DIVORCES
ATTORNEY RAISES POINT THAT
YEARS RESIDENCE IS NOT RE-.
CURED FOR DECREE.

Des Moines, March s.-"Divorces Sc
cured while you walt"
Attorneys In Des Moines and other
Iowa cities can hang out this sign nno
skin Reno to death In the divorce
business X Judge Hubert Utterback or
the district court sustains the conten-
ton of Attorney Vincent Starzinger In
the divorce case of John Dardis, walt
er, against Jean Dardis.
Dardis Is asking separation on stat
utory charges. The Iowa law as inter-
preted In the past requires all plaintiffs
in divorce cases to have resided In the
state for a year prior to the filing OF
the case.
1t developed in the Dardis case before
Judge Utterback tho other afternoon
that the plaintiff husband has resided
in Iowa only eleven months.
Attorney Starzinger commended that
If the defendant In divorce case IL a
resident Of the state and Is served per-
sonally with the notice of the divorce
action, 1t Is not necessary for the plain
tiff to have lived in the state year.
Eo contends that a man or woman
suing for divorce can get 1t even
though he or she is not resident OF
the state. under the above provisions.
Judge Utterback took the decision
under advisement.
The following method could be used
to secure q divorce If both parties
were agreed to 1t: "a
The wife, for instance, could come to
Iowa If her husband is living here. al.
though her residence may be New York
city, and get divorce without delay. !
The husband could come to Iowa anGs-
claim this state as his residence. Hies
wife would then be able to start dnu
vorce proceedings and get divoI.
just as soon as the courts could grSIoi
1t out AEeGs
The only requirement would bI
both the wife and the husband tfNRS
inside the borders Of Iowa and decide
which one was to bring the divorce ac-
ton, and let the courts do the rest.
This goes Reno one better. A resi-
dence of three months is required In
Reno. When Sioux Falls, S. d., was the
mecca of divorces. a residence Of six
months was required No specified
time would be needed in Iowa.

Corn rose with wheat and as result
of the lightness Of rural offerings. Inc

FIGHTING SPREAD
OF STOCK DISEASE
OTTUMWA YOUNG MAN WORK.
ING FOR GOVERNMENT IN saw.
ING FARMERS HERDS.

DR.. P. L. Gilbert of Ottumwa, who
has been devoting considerable time to
fighting the foot and mouth disease in
various parts Of the state, is the sub
ject of newspaper accounts in con-
nectiOn with the quarantine maintain
ed in Linn county where the farmers
have suffered the loss of herds. DR..
Gilbert was recently called to case
Of foot and mouth disease that was
discovered on farm two miles west of
Springville.
He Immediately placed the farm I'M
der strict quarantine, condemned the
herd to be killed and appraised the
stock, twenty-five head of cattle and
seventeen hogs at $1,64O of which
amount the federal government will
pay half and the state half The ap-
praisement it is understood, is entirely
satisfactory to Mr.. Daniels.
The animals were killed last week,
the carcasses we're placed in the trench
and covered with lime and the work
of filling In the trench was completed
last week. The farm will be thor
oughly disinfected at once, and when
this work is finished the quarantine
will be somewhat modified, allowing
the Daniels family to leave the place
at will, although no one will be allow
ed to drive on the place for time.
The quarantine will be maintained
for some time in order to prevent a
spread of the disease, and in order
that the dangers of carrying the in
lection may be minimized the people
are requested to congregate as little
as possible, and visiting from place
to place is to be discouraged while the
! quarantine is in effect. All dogs
and cats should be kept tied or shut
up, and any stray dogs, or hogs run
ming lose on the public highways will
be shot. Farmers will be protecting
themselves by killing any crows or
pigeons that come around their
places, and it would be to their in
terests to refuse admission to their
premises of any medicine men, tea
wagons or others who make bust
ness of going from place to place.
