Many cases of intoxication were re-
ported in the state last week. In
most cases the drunken men gave the
names of those who sold liquor to
them and arrests were made. One
man, driver of truck, in a drunken
stupor ran down and killed a woman.
He gave the dealers name who sold
the liquor to him and he will be pros
ecuted.

Marriages Of Wisconsin residents
outside of the state are legal, accord
ing to an opinion filed by Attorney
General John j. Blaine, in. circuit
court in Milwaukee last week. Mil
waukee judges had disagreed as to the
validity of such marriages The at
torney general stated that "the gen.
eral rule OF law unQuestionably is that
marriage where it is celebrated is
valid anywhere" He adds that ''to
this rule, there are two general ex-
cepuons which are well recognized
marriages which are deemed contrary
to the law of nature as generally rec
ognlzed by Christian civilized states

power of the forum has declared shall
not be allowed validity on grounds of
public policy"
The weekly weather report declares
that cool nights checked the growth of
corn somewhat, but that the crop is
still well ahead of the average at this
season. Temperatures were slightly
below the seasonal average" it con-
tinued. Late potatoes, tobacco. cram
berries, truck crops. pastures and
ranges, made satisfactory growth. the
recent rains having been of great
help in many localities However, in
the land where the drought was most
severe, upland crops were too far
gone to be benefited by the rains.
Most tobacco fields are in the bloom
ing stage and being topped. Har-
vesting. stacking. and thrashing were
interrupted to some extent BY the
rains and in some places by scarcity
OF labor. The yields of wheat and
oats are below expectations generally
but the reports are more encourag-
ing in the case OF barley and rye"
