CHAPLIN DESERTED WIFE.
Mildred Harris 70 Sue Screen Star
For Divorce. ~

Mildred harris 70 Sue Screen star
For Divorce. "
Los Angeles. March 20.-Charles
Chaplin, comedian king Of the NOV
ing pictures. will be sued for divorce
by his bride, Mildred Harris Chap
lin, within few days. Mrs. Chaplin
admitted that she would file a bill
charging desertion.
Without cause. Mrs. Chaplin as
serts. her husband has neglected her
and made her life unbearable, and
she says he finally left home alto
gether and went to live at the Los
Angeles Athletic>Club.
1t is said the comedian tired of his
bride nearly six months ago and has
demanded she divorce him on numer-
Gus occasions. He threatened, she
saws to start divorce proceedings
himself unless his wife would do so
on the agreement that he was to give
her $4,000 as consideration when
the decree was granted.
Efforts to hush up this domestic
trouble in one Of hlmdom's leading
families were made, but the story
finally became knowns after Mrs.
Chaplin had instructed her attorney
to start court action. 1t is said she
delayed asking for a divorce for
months because she feared the pub
licity.
Mrs. Chaplin said her husband had
refused to support her OF even buy
her a birthday present ever since
their runaway marriage. about two
years ago. Besides herself, the movie
actress said, she was obliged to
support her mother. an aunt and two
OF her aunt's children.
Il have not seen Mr.. Chaplin in
two weeks, and he has not been liv-
ing with me for several months"
Mrs. Chaplin said. II am forced to
conclude that he does not want to-
liye with me any more. do not
want a~divorce and I do not want
Mr.. Chaplin's money. but must
have support. will ask for a d.
vorce."
Mrs. Chaplin's attorney will file the
bill in Nevada shortly.
So close has>been the connection
between Charles Chaplin, Mary Pick
ford and Douglas Fairbanks, the big
three Of the movies. that residents
OF the picture colony near here see
close connection between the Chap
lin family difficulties, Miss Pick
ford's divorce and the separation OF
Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks year ago.
When the Fairbanks family broke
up it was said Mr.. Fairbanks would
marry Miss Pickford. This talk was
revived again when the Pickford di-
vcrce was handed down.
Now az a result of this new row 10
moviedom the gossips think they
may have been wrong all along and
that Chaplin may wed Miss Pick
ford.

WHEAT DAMAGE
ONLY NOMINAL
Weather Bureau Says Injury
Thought to Be Slight.

Summary of weather and crop 'condl-
tlons in Indiana for the week ending
Tuesday, Feb. 10, as issued yesterday by
j. II. Arlington, meteorological in charge
of the local Office of the United States
weather bureau. says that damage from
ice TO wheat is not thought to have been
serious. The report says.
Moderate weather continued through
the period, marking the second warm
week since the first of December. Mean
temperature for the state was about 4
degrees above the normal for the season.
There was comparatively little precipita-
ton. but the sky was almost continuously
clouded over, and there was much fog
and damp air.
"The snow cover disappeared from
most central and some northern local.
ties, but there Is considerable ice yet
over many fields in the northern half of
the state.
Where now exposed it is fair, except in
fields previously covered with ice: and
although the damage from ice is thought
not to be serious, tops of the plants gen
orally are very brown.
There was some .heaving during the
week In bare fields, but this was not
great, as the daily oscillation OF tenn
perature was not extreme. Reports on
other winter grains, clover and grass
lands are about the same as for wheat
Roads in the southern half of the
state are In the main very muddy, and
dirt roads, especially those in the ex-
treme south. are practically impossible
rs they are thawed through in places,
end are characterized as the worst in
years
Some snowdrifts remain on the high
ways in northeastern sections. interior
ing with travel, and cross roads in those
parts are still very bad but in most
other parts Of the northern half Of the
state highways are reported in fair
shape, although somewhat slippery where
ice remains"

WEALTH Is

BY producing less and charging our
people two or three times the normal
