 to Minden for the sole purpose of ac- cepting service so as to confer juris- | diction on the court

 l The complaint, which contains 7.- | 900 words, contends that the subse- l quent marriage of Miss Pickford and | Fairbanks at Los Angeles is a cir cumstance which confirms the alIega-
 tions of conspiracy and fraud on their
 part.
 Robert Richards Deputy Attorney
 General, who prepared the complaint. announced that Frank P. Iangan. 1 district judge who granted the decree, l will be called as a witness by the state This will disqualify him from hearing the case, and as a result a judge from another district in the

WORKS FOR ROAD BOND ISSUE

Being strongly in favor of the sixty
million dollar road bond proposition
which it calls "a great opportunity"
the Monet Journal urges its adoption
in the following:
"The people of Missouri have the
best opportunity yet proposed to OBJ
tain the necessary help to build good
roads. A $60,000,000 bond issue is to
be submitted at the general election in
November and if carried will enable
the state to build roads on scale new
er before attempted on account of
lack of the necessary funds.
"The bonds to be issued are to be
paid out of the automobile license and
will not increase taxes one cent.
"ro get $60,000,000 to build better
roads and not have to be taxed to OBJ
tain the money is proposition that
should be approved by every intelli-
gent voter This will mean more than
half-million dollars for good roads
in every county in the state"

every follower of the cause of

right to feel proud of the splendid

LAST NIGHTS DREAMS
WHAT THEY MEAN
lid you dream of jugs7

Did you dream of jugs7
IL the jug is full it means you have
many true friends who will help you in
your affairs.
To dream Of taking a drink out OF a
jug denotes good health and strong
constitution.
Such a dream is also said TO indicate
you are Of a cheerful disposition and sc-
customed to look on the brighter side of
life.
II the jug appears to be empty 1t is an
omen that you will suffer losses through
and neglect Of your business
anu that you must apply yourself with
redoubled care and energy.
Some Of the oracles say the dream Of
an empty jug indicates you are in danger
OF losses through a lack Of judgment
either on your part or that shown by a
friend or relative.
If you are undecided whether the dream
jug is full OF empty the Specification is
that your success will come slowly and
have to be fought for, but perseverance
will bring you out all right.
To dream Of a jug with more than one
handle is accounted a very favOrab bic
omen for business men.-COpyright 1920
