But whatever government action
may be taken, the dairy nerds that
have required so much time, effort

been sent to the slaughter, estimated
carefully as high as Is to 20 per cent.
This naturally increases the demand
for Kansas dairy products, which
should eventually work to the benefit

cows, feed, labor and everything else
necessary to the operation of a dairy

Surely the public is willing to pay a
fair price for dairy products now
rather than have many of these valu-

the time to save the milk cows, not

MRS. THORA SMITH
GIVEN DIVORCE and
ALSO DIAMOND RING
Defendant Martin {. Smith
Held to Have TrOdden
Primrose Path

The rather famous Silverton divorce
case, in which Thora E. Smith is plain
tiff and Martin E. Smith defendant,
was decided today, she being granted
decree and also declared to be the
i-owner of the diamond ring valued at
$500 which cut quite figure in the
trial of the case.
Judge Bingham in the findings Of
fact on which he based the decree
among other things found: that the
parties were married in San Francisco
as alleged in the complaint. That de-
fendant Martin e. Smith before mar
riage represented to plaintiff that he
was part owner of jewelry store in.
Silverton conducted in the name of
James G. Smith, but that such repre-
sentations were false and that Martin
E. Smith was only an employe in said
store and had no interest therein. That
James G. Smith never held, out to
plaintiff, or to anyone that Martin E.
Smith had an interest in said jewelry
store and that he did not encourage
Martin E. Smith in his treatment Of
plaintiff.
That plaintiff and defendant Martin
r. Smith entered into an agreement set
Ting all property rights as between
them; and plaintiff absoived said Mar.
tin E. Smith from all obligations for
support and care.
That certain diamond ring given
by defendant Martin E. Smith to plain
tiff was his property at the time of the
gift, and that he obtained possession Of
1T from plaintiff by false representa-
tions and that it should be returned to
her. The court also holds that it is
not true that plaintiff accused said
Martin E. Smith without cause Of i'm
proper relations with Beryl Harmon.
A decree of divorce was granted and
it was ordered The diamond ring be re-
turned ito plaintiff or if this was not
done that she have judgment for $500
the value of the same.

CAPTAIN ToozE rxpEoTs ORDERS.

Captain Walter L. Tooze, who was Wis
ting his friends in Dallas the last Of
the week, expects to receive orders most
any day now to proceed with his men
to some eastern cantonment, in prepara-
tion for sailing for Europe. In fact,
Captain Tooze barely missed being as
signed to a contingent which went east
a few DAYS ago, presumably bound for
France. This would have been a dis
appointment TO the captain, because it
would have separated him from the men
whom he has trained and been assoeiat-
ed with all through, and in whose vel
fare he naturally feels deep interest.
He says they can't send him TO France
too soon TO suit him, but he wants to
go with his own men when he goes, if
possible.-Dallas Observer.
