Cut Rates In Divorces

rion county who considers divorce an
easy matter and is evidently laboring
under the impression that couples can

hitched by the county judge. A resident
Of Gates addressed letter TO "Jug"
Bushey today in which it was stated
that the couple had agreed to migrate
from the state Of matrimony and asked
the Judge TO forward the "papers" no
the matter would be legal.
The letter follows and is self explain

CLAIM THAT
WESTERN DRIVE is CHECKED

London, Oct. 8.-Champagne, the
country over which the French
made their big gains late in Sep
TENDER, is still the main district of
contention in the west. The reports
are SO contradictory, however. that
1t is difficult to ascertain what is
actually happening. The Germans
admit that the French have made
slight progress, but, on the whole,
claim to have repulsed the allied
general offensive. On the other
hand, the French declare that it is
a German offensive which has been
repulsed.
On the Eastern front the German
offensive against Dvinsk is at last
making some Roadway. The German
official Communication says Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has pene-
trated the Russian lines over a front
of about three miles. Throughout
the center the Russians are still on
the offensive.

These Revenue Measures Urged by
Administration
PRODUCE ANNUALLY 800. 900. 900
Sugar Duty Would Bring $50, OOO,-
900 Annually into the United
States Treasury-Other
Plans DisapprOved

Washington. Oct. Retention
of the present duty on sugar until
conditions become normal and ex-
tension of the emergency tax law
until the European war is over are
two revenue measures which the
administration has decided to ask
from congress at the coming SEES
sion. Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo announced he would recon-
mend the necessary legislation and
IL is understood President Wilson is
in accord with the plan.
No other revenue measures have
been approved by the administra-
ton, so far, although many sugges-
tons have been offered which may
be considered before congress COM
pletes its work. Retention of the
duty on sugar-which goes on the
free list May /, 1916, unless con-
gress acts-would give the treasury
about s5O,0OO.OO0 q year. The
emergency tax il counted upon to
produce about s1OO.0OO.ooO a year.
