morse of Mrs. Anna NJ Burney's hus-
bands. First Anna married William
Burney, last June. She was 10 and
he was %. He BACKED her eyes once
or twice. and she being blonde by
nature, up and walked away from him.
Last month, she married Oscar S. Lee,
%, whose added years she thought
would make him less controversial
husband. But as is SO apt to happen
some peevish person told Oscar about
William. He went to see him and
the two had Anna arrested for bfgamy.
But when the Judge held her in $500
bail and put her in jail, they suddenly
realized that they had got Anna into
an uncomfortable position. So they
seized both their hats and rushed out
together arm in arm to find the $500
How they will arrange matters later
has not as yet been determined.

for the county pay one. half and
the people half. This is what

We have had State aid and its
flood of law suits, and Federal
aid talk too, but in our judgment
ment the county and people co.
operating is the only way for
Powell to get the roads that 1t
wants. No one objects to all the
road aid the county can get from

think it is time to try out Com

Monday for an indefinite time.
The closing of this plant throws
quite number of men out Of
employment, but the closing is
at time of the year when all la
borers can get out and farm for
a living. The labor and farming
situation is very bad here. Farm
products off 80 per cent, and all
the la Dor thrown on the farm un.
der such conditions, is anything
but encouraging. But the best
that can be done is to raise as
much of what we have to eat as
possible.
