SCALES STERN
AS TO DIVORCE
BUT PURPOSE FUTILE in
FACE OF STATUTE-LECT-
URE TO ATTORNEYS

Il beg the courts pardon; |
didn't observe that your honor
was occupied" said Attorney
Miles S. Johnson in the district
court at Lewiston, at a period
when Judge Scales was engaged
in signing an order for Attorney
Reece Hattabaugh of Grange
vile.
Go right ahead Mr.. Johnson"
responded the court. 81 can at
tend to this matter, hear you
and still have time to give atten-
tion to granting another divorce
if one is handy"
This attitude of the court
brought smiles from attorneys
and spectators, for Judge Scales
had but a minute or so before
concluded a kind of lecture to the
attorneys present in court-and
there were a number of them
relative to the divorce question.
Il do not know what | am 60
ing to do about this divorce stu
ation," said Judge Scales. "It is
getting to be a serious matter.
Just the other day the press an
nounced that Judge Scales had
granted nine divorces and then
seven, while as a matter of fact
two seemed to have been over
looked. Since court opened
Monday % or 80 divorce cases
have come before me and in
every instance no appearance on
the part of the defendant. There
is nothing for me to do, under
the statute, but to grant the div
orce. Sometimes feel like send
ing all such cases up to the su-
preme court, but there wouldn't
be any sense in that. The de-
crees are granted under the stat
ut with the view that it is to the
interest of society to grant a
separation to these people. But,
gentlemen, the situation is seri-
Gus. If the defendants would
answer and it would be possible
to get the facts, the court would
be able to hold to strict proof,
but no such opportunity is af-
forded-there is to much agree
ment, nothing is disputed or put
at issue. Most of this deser-
tion business is camouflage, but
what can the court do about it in
the face of the record and the
statute
The judge hesitated for a mo-
ment and then an attorney re-
marked: II wish to assure your
honor there was no collusion in
the case ] submitted"
81 realize that" replied the
court. 81 am not directing critici-
cism against individuals but the
general policy; there is no more
collusion in your case than in the
ordinary one."
And all the attorneys had to
smile again.
Just at that time another at
torney slipped up to the bench to
engage the judges attention just
for a signature to a document
applying to a divorce granted
Thursday.
'Is she married again" asked
the Judge.
Il think not" replied the at
/ torney hesitatingly.
81 didn't know" rejoined the
Judge. 81 saw her on the street
yesterday afternoon with a
roughneck looking fellow and
she didn't look my way. IL you

POISON IS
WONDERFUL
SO SAYS FARMERS WHO
HAVE BEEN GIVING
1T A TRIAL.

Lie recipe given Dy COunLy
Farm Agent Pavey on his visit
here in Cottonwood last Wednes-
day for the poisoning of the Col
umbian ground squirrel is doing
wonderful work according to the
farmers who have had the OPP
portunity to try it and during
the past week at least 80 farm
ers have made application for
poison at the Chronicle office.
John Funke and John Schnid-
er were the first farmers in this
section to put out this poison and
both report having killed large
numbers of the squirrels. Mr..
Funke placed out poison one
evening this week and the next
morning 81 dead squirrels were
found dead out of their holes be-
sides those that died in the hole.
Mr.. Schnider experienced similar
results.
The formula which has been
doing such good work is as fol-
lows:
Poison For Hoppers
A poison our county agent
highly recommends for grass
hoppers and which should be put
out as soon as the grasshoppers
hatch is as follows:
25 pounds of coarse flaky
brand, l pound of white arsenic
or paris green, 6 lemons or or
anges, 2 quarts of low grade mo-
lasses mixed with about 2 to a
gallons of water. To be distri-
buted at the rate of 10 pounds to
the acre where they are hatch
ing.
IMPORTANT-Don't fail to
Doison as soon as the hoppers
hatch. the sooner the poison is
placed out after Matching the
easier they will be controlled.
Both of these poisons may be
obtained from the county agent
at cost.
Mr.. Pavey will be in Cotton
wood every Thursday for the
distribution of these poisons as
well as to confer with farmers
on any other subject relating to
the farm.
DIRECTIONS FOR POISON
ING COLUMBIA GROUND
SQUIRRELS-Mix together dry
1 ounce of powdered strychnine
(alkaloid),1 ounce of baking
soda or 2 tablespoonfuls QeveD,
1 teaspoonful of saccharine, and
3 tablespoonfuls of flour. Add
a little cold water and stir thor
oughly to a smooth, creamy
paste. Apply to 10 quarts of
clean oats and mix thoroughly to
distribute the poison evenly.
Each quart of poisoned grain
is sufficient for 40 to 60 bats.
This quantity, scattered Il tea
spoonful to a place) along squir-
rel trails, OF on clean, hard sur
faces near the holes, will not en-
danger stock.
N. B. Strychnine in any form
other than the commercial pow
derer alkaloid is not effective in
the above formula.
CAUTION-All poison con-
tainers and all utensils used in
tn e preparation Of poisons
should be kept PLAINLY label
ed and out of reach of children,
stock.
