ALLEGES BRIDE LEFT
HIM IN TWO WEEKS
HI SBAND, IN DIVORCE COM
PLANT. SAYS WIFE REFUSES
TO RETURN.

The blissful honeymoon of Joe and
Billie Baxter of Chehalis was sudden
~ terminated by shopping tour
which the young bride decided to
take and the matrimonial bark is now
rushing toward the rocks known as
the divorce courts" according to a
complaint which Joe Baxter filed in
the local superior court the other day
against his wife. Billie Baxter.
The husband claims that on July
p, 1919, two weeks after their mar
riage, his wife asked him for some
money and said she was going shop
ping in Chehalis and that instead of
that she went to Seattle, met another
man. and has not returned to live
with him since.
The plaintiff further alleges that
his wife wrote and told him that she
had destroyed their marriage certifi-
cate and that recently when he met
her on the street in Seattle she told
him that she did not intend to come
back and live with him and that what
she did was none of his business.

PARENTS VOTE IN FAVOR

Announces.

Parents of the students of the
local high school approve of super
vised dances which are to be held in
the gymnasium of the high school
building. The opinion OF the parents
was recorded by ballots which were
sent out by City superintendent of
Schools c. f. Beach. The parents
were asked to vote yes or no on the
dance proposition. The return vote
shows that the parents are in favor
of the dances, the majority being
8 to /.
The dance program is being fos-
tered by the Parent-Teacher Circle
of the high school. The plan is to
have the dances held in the gymna-
SUM of the high school under the
supervision of members of the fac
ulty. Instructors on the high school
staff and parents of the high school
students are to be allowed at the
dances. All alumni will be excluded.
Superintendent Beach suggested
that before they hold the dances in
the high school that ballots be sent
to all parents and that they be
allowed to voice their opinions on
the matter. This was done. The
ballots will now be canvassed by the
city school board and they will vote
on the matter. Rumors are that the
school board is in favor of the dances
and that the matter will receive a
! favorable vote.

Thousands Of them would never

for the use of tobacco. and thou
sands would soon get we'll II they
would only stop the use OF tobacco.
The chief habit-forming principle
Of tobacco Is nicotine. a deadly
poison which. when absorbed by
the system. slowly affects the
nerves. membranes. tissues and
vital organs of the body. The
harmful effect OF tobacco varies
and depends on circumstances.

County Auditor Issues 344 Marriage
Iicenses-DivOrce Suits
Exceed 100.

Though competition was pretty
strong Dan Cupid was right ON the
job in this county during the year of
1919 and came out victor in the
matrimonial race. Whether the lit
tie God of Marriage was a bit capri
cious and jumbled his cards slightly
is a matter of some conjecture. The
marriage records kept in the county
ship of County Auditor Harry L..
Lewis show that 344 marriage
licenses were issued in the olnty
during 1919.
Dan Cupid started out rather
weak in the year 1919 but finished
up in fine style. The records show
that the following number of licenses
were issued each month: January,
Z; February, II; March, 30; April,
Is; May, 80; June, 80; July. 25;
August, 80; September, 81; October.
80; November, 81, and December,

Upon visiting the county clerks Of
fee and viewing the records handled
by County Clcrk Milroy the story of
honeymoon and bliss fast fades into
one of a choppy and rough matrimo-
NAL sea. County Clerk Milroy re-
ports that there were 375 cases filed
in the superior court during the year
and that of this number more than
100 were divorce suits. This does
not include the DEGREES that were
granted in the court during 1919 for
cases started in 1918.
