EVEN PUPPY MUST
HAVE DOG LICENSE
Sheriff Mosholder States The
Law Is Being Violated In
City And County

Sheriff Mosholder stated Friday
that number of persons in the city
do not have proper conception of the
law relative to license tags for dogs.
The sheriff states that many persons
believe that dog must be one year
old before it is necessary to obtain q
license. This is not correct, accord
ing to the sheriff. A dog three months
old must have a license tag and, ac
cording to Sheriff Mosholder, many
persons in Mt. Vernon and Knox
county are violating the law, in that
they have dogs running at large with
out the proper license tags.

SEES ERADICATION OF
new WHEAT DISEASES
Department Of Agriculture Believes
Flag Smut and Take-An Are
Now Under Control.

shington.-Indication are that
the two dreaded foreign foes of wheat,
flag smut and take-all, will not be-
come widespread in the United States.
The United States Department of Agri-
culture announces that the two States
where these diseases appeared, In
diana and Illinois, have taken steps
that will prevent the spread of the dis
eases from the infected fields and that
should wipe out in few years the in
lection in fields where 1t exists.
Indiana officials came to the recent
hearing in Washington with adequate
safeguards already placed. Shortly
after the hearing, Illinois established
similar safeguards. All the infected
wheat in both States is under control
and will be disinfected before any use
whatever IL made of it. All straw and
stubble are to be burned, thrashing
machines are to be thoroughly disin-
fected, and no wheat is to be grown in
infected areas for several years.
Under these conditions full conf
dence is felt that neither of the dis
eases will spread from the diseased
areas in Illinois and Indiana That
does not mean, however, that the fight
against flag smut and take-all is over.
1t is possible that one or both of the
diseases exists this year In place
where they have not been recognized
There is, however, no great probable
ity that this Is true. The Department
OF Agriculture and its cooperating
agencies have been diligently on the
lookout for these two diseases all
summer and have found no evidences
IF them except In the two areas. Both
kag smut and take-all occur in I'LL
nois and only take-all In Indiana. The
experts. however, realize the POSSIBLE
ity that some contested spots may have
escaped observation, and II would not
be surprising II diseased fields are
found elsewhere next spring.
In the meantime. there will be no
let-up In the work Of preventing either
Of the diseases from getting a real
foothold anywhere In the United
States. The Federal Department Ii

BLAMES WAR, NOT
ThEWAR WEDDINGS,
FOR MANY DIVORCES
Chicago Domestic Relations Expert
Gives His Reason For Wave OF
Divorce Sweeping Nation.

The troubles in the war--not war
marriages. It's not the little pride
who faced the altar alongside nlfty
uniform who caused the courts of the
nation to establish a record with SO
many decreases last year, as some Cir
cult court judges believe Take that
from Judge Sheridan E. Fry, who pre-
sides in the Court of Domestic Rela-
lions of Chicago, and, accordingly Is
familiar with matrimonial difticulties
of every sort
The martial causes for martial rum
are three in number, according to this
domestic expert.
In the first place, there is restless
ness. After a doughboy has chummed
around for a series of months with
shrapnel, coolies, and sudden death he
finds the missus rather slow and tire
some. He Graves excitement. Finally
when he can stand it. no longer he
heayes a piece of china with the hope
of having a little fun. A decree fol-
} lows.
No. in Judge Fry's category OF
causes is suspicion.
Paris has always had such wild
name, you know, and the women are
reputed to be-well, naughty. The war
brides honeymoon days had just be-
gun when her hero beat it trench
ward, and she doubts him not at all.
But with your spouse who has served
several yeaW of time in matrimonial
bonds It is different. She greets her
hubbl with a tentative hug on his re-
turn from France and then proceeds
to cast an eagle optic over his o. d
blouse for traces of feminine tresses
That's Just the beginning. The di-
