"You couldn't buy out wallingford

COOPER HOME NEAR
MONTROSE is BURNED

Montrose March 1.-THE fire de.
partment was summoned Monday to
the residence of w. A. Cooper where
flames were seen by neighbors to be
shooting through the roof. Mrs. Coop
er was in the kitchen preparing break
fast for the family. The children were
still asleep. A neighbor, Ed Moore,
turned in the alarm and the fire de-
partment was soon on the scene. The
blaze started in the second story from
some cause that is at present un-
known. Everything in the second
story was destroyed, clothing. bedding
and furniture. The children were
aroused and taken to place of safety
before the flames reached them as they
slept.
The lower part Of the house was
saved by the heroic work of the fire
men. 1t was fortunate that the fire
did not start during the night as it is
very probable that all of the family
would not have escaped had this hap
pened. Mr.. Cooper is in the employ
of J. P. Kennedy. The house is the
property of the pickle company here.
There was no insurance.

NEW PLEAD|NCs
IN DIVORCE CASE
MUSCATiNE FIRM FOLLOWS RE.
CENT ALLEGATION IN BRING.
ING SUIT IN COURT.

Muscatine, March 17.--"That the
plaintiff and the defendant are resi-
dents of the state of Iowa."
With this simple statement as pre-
amble divorce proceedings were insti-
tuted In the district court by Debbie
Herget against Walter Herget. The
suit was filed through the law firm of
ID. V. & R. s. Jackson, marking the
first to be started here since the Iowa
divorce law was found to be defective
in recent decision by Judge Utter
back in Des Moines.
In practically all previous instances
where divorce suits were started in
Muscatine, the allegation was made
that the plaintiff had been resident
OF this state for at least one year and
mot for the purpose of obtaining a
divorce only In the suit filed by
the. Jackson firm the bare statement
is made that both the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT are Iowa residents. 1t makes
no assertion as to the. period Of such
residence.
The Des Moines decision is expected
to result in a revision Of the old fami-
liar style OF divorce suits here. This
IS indicated by the departure from the
custom in vogue here for years in the
Herget case.
Mrs. Herget alleges non-support and
cruelties.

TWO SENATORS TALK
TO GRINNELL PEOPLE

Grinnell, March 17.-Senators Ken
yon of Iowa and Burton of Ohio, visit
ed Grinnell college and addressed
the students and the high school
men and women who were here for
GrinnelTs annual joint basketball
tournament and oratorical contest.
Senator Burton, who was student
here in the SOS, told of early days in
Grinnell college, and gave tribute
Of his gratitude to the men and wom-
en- Of the faculty of his time. He said
that his three and half years at
Grinnell were an oasis of idealism in
a liftime of struggle against the
forces Of materialism. He urged the
students to give their attention very
actively to matters of public interest,
and said that without this attention
on the part of the mass of the voters,
all measures of reform were bound to
fail
Following Senator Burton's address,
Senator Kenyon spoke briefly, en-
phasizing his colleagues remarks. 1t
will be remembered that following
their fight against the pork barrel
bill last fall the two senators dis
covered that they were fellow alumni
of Grinnell, and the visit was some
what in the nature of celebration of
that discovery.
