WEEDS FIRST LOVE
Everett Phoenix Ketchum, Man
With a Marathon Kiss.
Married Miss Jennie Maude
Kelly in New Jersey.

New York, Aug. 15.-The man with
the marathon kiss, Everett Phoenix
Ketchurn. wealthy lawyer and Ameri-
can of old lineage, has, according TO
announcements in the advertising col
umns of New York newspapers re-
married.
The bride. the advertisements say,
is Miss Jennie Maude Kelly. VINO ne
protested with tears in his eyes ana
voice. when his first wife was SUING
him for separation in this city, had
been really his first love- They were
married in New Jersey August II ana
are now at Ketchum's bungalow at
Tampa, Fla. His first wife was Miss
Ada D. Brown of Asbury Park, N. j:
He and his first wife were married
after five days courtship and parted
definitely fifty-two days atterWard.
He confessed to having had mistress
for eight years whom he represented
as his wife, even to the pastor OF MS
church. He described moment IN
the courtship of his first wife when
they had INDUCED in a kiss he said
tha- lasted two hours. But for all
that he continued: 81 really loved
MISS Kelly 1 wanted to marry her
and I hope to do so. Perhaps Miss
Kelly believes l will yet. If ever I'm
given the opportunity I will do SO I'M

TO BURN HARVEST
Germany Scents New Plot on
Part of Allies.
Bombs Dropped on Grain
Fields and Forests.

Berlin. Aug 15.-A1lied military
chieftains have attempted to aid the
''starve Germany out" campaign by
setting fire to German harvest fields,
according to reports received here.
The recent raids by Anglo-French
aviators over the. Black Forest and
farmIands near Karlsruhe are said to
have been experimental trips. 1ncen-
diary bombs were dropped in several
fields with the evident object of start
ing great fires, but did only slight
damage.
Adolph Won Batocki. German food
Dictator said today there is little
chance that the plan will succeed.
I'm the first place, the fields have
not been dry enough to enable them
to start a great fire. he said. Tn
the second place, many of the crops
are already in. In the third place, We
have no large farms like you have in
America and if small farms lost their
crops in this manner it would not af-
feet the total. Don't forget, too, that
our aeroplanes are guarding our farms
as well as the trenches. Further
more, our biggest harvest-potatoes
cannot be burned because they are
buried
Oats supply from the new harvest is
so good that horses rations will be
increased, Batocki said. The grain
crop is so good that bread rations will
be increased and the fodder prospects
are so excellent that. Germany expects
to raise as large a stock of pigs this
fall as in peace times. By a special
arrangement between the government
and the cattle raisers, the latter must
deliver to the government so many fat
pigs in return for fodder, which the
government has monopolized. This
insures a certain supply of pork and
makes unnecessary the. Strengthening of
milk cows unless they are dry.
n these there
will be no shortage in milk" said
