MAN TRYING TO

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 15.-When a
Chicago court grants divorce and ali
mony to wife, can the husband come
to Georgia and sue for divorce on
grounds attacking his wife, and there

The question has been raised in At,
lanta in the case Of L. A. Woodward
and Gra. Bianche Woodward, and
promises to go to the United States
supreme court for settlement.
The attorneys for Mrs Woodward

courts Of one state to give full force
and credit to the decisions of the court
in another state. Mrs. Woodard alb
tanned an alimony decree in Chocago
and the court held that she was with
out fault.
Suing her for divorce, Woodward
amended his petition to insert attacks
upon his wife, and the amendment was
allowed by the Fulton superior court,
to which ruling the woman's attorneys
have taken an appeal on the grounds

Raise Nore Hogs.

ATLANTA, Ga, Lee. 15.--"Hei3 win

The slogan sounded by the Georgia
state department Of agriculture has
been taken UP by newspapers through
outthe state, and Is receiving the In
dorsement and practical support of
business men, merchants, bankers,
farmers organizations and many 9th
er influential agencies.
Hog raising in Georgia has made
greater progress in the past ten years
than perhaps any other single industy,
and yet even now it is just beginning
The prairie lands of south Georgia,
with their boundless sweet potatoes,
peanuts, alfalfa and other feedstuffs,
make grazing ground for hogs that
cannot be surpassed anywhere in the
country, and the state can always
raise an abundant supply of corn to
give them final finishing course to
harden the flesh.
The more pork we eat, the more
beef we release to feed the armies
in France, and the farmers cannot
raise an over-supply.

His jolly cheeks glowing, his merry

A tool box, lantern, train and
