/. After a decree of divorce and an
der for the payment of alimony in monthly
installments the defendant fought to OBJ
tain from plaintiffs counsel release of
that counsel did not intend to release the
judgment and had no authority so TO do
but intended only to receipt for an attor-
ney's fee. The entry on the Judgment dock
leased" Held. that no lawful release of
the order for the payment of alimony was
shown.
? The order for the payment of all
mony in monthly installments did not of
itself constitute a lien upon any land of
the defendant within the county. Whether
not any part of such order became dor
mant for failure for twenty FEARS to take
any steps towards its enforcement, it can
not be held that all the monthly payments
required thereby were barrel by the stat
ute of limitations.
), The general rule is that a divorced
wife's remarriage to another does not of
itself operate as release Of the former
though it may well furnish a ground for
discharging him from further payments.
T. From the record it does not appear
that the plaintiff by laches has lost her
to be made to Ler by the defendant, mere
delay not necessarily constituting iaches
5. 1t is held that the plaintiff made
out prima facie case and it was error to
to show cause why he should not be
held in contempt for failure to obey the
order to pay alimony.

1. In the absence of any regulation for
bidding persons to enter trains to assist a
passenger one who goes upon a train for
that purpose has an implied permission
or license to do, and the carrier owes
him the duty of ordinary care for his
protection where it. has notice of his pur-
pose and intention in entering the train.
.. Notwithstanding a finding that "A
passenger train stopped at station for
period of five minutes, it is held that
it was for the jury to determine under all
the facts and circumstances whether one
who entered the train to assist a passenger
was given a reasonable time to leave the
train before it started.
3. The special findings examined and
held to show that after discovering the
negligence of the defendant, the plaintiff
was negligent in attempting in the dark
ness to alight from the train while it was
running at eight miles hour. and there
fore the defendant was entitled to judg-
ment on the findings.

Ready Tor Wheat.

Every possible acre should be
sown to wheat or rye except that
which is needed for a summer
crop next year.
Cut and shock the corn and be-
gin soil preparation between the
shock rows at once. On level
clean land the seed bed may be
prepared by thoroughly double
disking one or more times. On
rolling land that is likelv to wash
the subsoiler should be run once
under each row and once in the
middle before disking.
If the turn plow is necessary
to turn under weeds and grass,
use the disk before and after
turning. In the absence of
rains. use the roller Immediately
before sowing. The corrugated
roller is preferred.
Every farmer in Jackson coun-
ty should sow some wheat this
fall. The soil in Jackson county
will produce as good wheat as
any. and s2.2O per bushel should
be some inducement for sowing
wheat.

A True Story.

A man who was afraid of thun-
der crawled into a hollow log as
a place of safety during q thun-
der storm. The thunder rolled
and the rain poured down in tor
rents, and the old log began to
swell up till the poor fellow was
wedged in so tight that he could
not get out. All his past sins
began passing before him. Sud-
denly he remembered he hadn't
paid his newspaper subscription.
and he felt so small that he was
able to back right out.

OKLAHOMA TO HAVE
 J. RABBIT SAUSAGE

Oklahoma City, Okla. July 30-- Jack rabbit sausage will be new delcacy in Oklahoma as a result of the war. In fact few farmers in the western part of the state last winter found the substitute as palat- able as the real article.
 At a meeting of farmers wives in Kiowa county, County Woman Agent Mrs. Ida Gregory discussed the ef- ficacy of canning sov beans. One woman suggested that the beans were hard to raise owing to the raids of rabbits This objection was quickly discounted by another woman who exclaimed:
 Keep the rabbits away until your beans are foot high; then get a shot gun and let 'em come. Last year we had jackrabbit sausage the year through. By mixing lit of porh the sausage really is better than that made entirely from pork
