MORE COUPLES
SEEK DIVORCES
Two More Suits for Di-
vOrce Filed in Circuit
Court Today.
OF SHORT DURATION

Two more 1924 marriages found their
way into the divorce court this morn
ing when summons and complaints
were filed in the circuit court.
Margaret Gugerty, through her
mother, Mrs. Mary Clean, as guard
ian, is seeking divorce from Thomas
Gugerty on variety of charges. She
alleges cruel and inhuman treatment,
also claims that her husband was adj
dicted to the use of liquor and had
failed to provide for her. She main
tains that she was forced to go to
work and in addition to receiving lit
tie money from her husband, barber,
had given him money to buy shoes.
They were married in Waukegan,
July 2, 1924. The wife asks for an
absolute divorce and also for the re-
turn of her maiden name, Margaret
Clean.
Husband Files Other Suit.
The other suit filed was that of
Avery Sommerfeldt against Bertha
Sommerfeldt. The husband in this
case alleges that he was forced into
the marriage by fear of Jail sent
ence and that he was not properly ad-
vised of his rights. They were mar
ried in Kerosha during the month of
June, 1924.
The wife has filed an answer asking
that the husband be directed to pay
for her support and for the support
of their child.
Late this afternoon suit for di-
vorce brought by Joseph Scherer of
Milwaukee, against Norma Scherer was
fled in the municipal court, alleging
cruel and inhuman treatment without
personal violence. The couple are
widely known among the younger
social life in Milwaukee Mrs. Scherer
has filed a Cross complaint alleging
failure to provide and non-support.
A hearing on the case will probably
be held on Thursday afternoon.

"THE HOUR GLASS;

Ceaselessly the scroll of time I'M
rolls, bringing to every mortal the
changes to which are attached
whatever of interest life may hold.
The hour glass, which symbolizes
the passing of time, supplies the
title for a photoplay as told in
motion pictures, which will help to
bring to every man who is, or
hopes to become head of a family
a fuller realization of his respon-
sibilities.
First presentation of ''The Hour
Glass" in Eagle River, will be given
at the Eagle Theatre, Wednesday,
February 4th at 7:30 o'clock. 1t
will be under the auspices of Eagle
Waters Camp, Modern Woodmen
of America, by special arrange
ment with the national headquar-
tiers at Rock Island, Ill. This is a
brand new four-reel film with un-
usual spectacular features a n d
true-to-life action. Part of the
story was filmed at the Society S
free Sanatorium near Colorado
Springs where the bright sun and
vivid color contrasts make the
camera so effective. Here, in large
part, was enacted an interesting
little drama which might have
ended in tragedy, but didn't. Mod
ern Woodmen who know the signs
of the forest may guess why.
Others will be afforded the oppor-
tunity to find out for themselves
when they witness the showing of
this interesting photoplay.

AN ALFALFA CAMPAIGN
Marathon County AgricuItur-
lists Working to Bring AL
falfa to State as Major
Crop.

M. }. Rogan, Marathon county
agricultural agent is working on
an extensive campaign for the
growing of alfalfa in Marathon
county. He plans on distributing.
at least $4,000 pounds of certified
seed. The seed is ordered in large
quantities and distributed through
the regular retail establishments.
Mr.. Rogan says that alfalfa can be
grown successfully in Marathon
county, providing care is taken in
lining the soil, inoculating the
seed and planting it on well
drained soil.
In our New Years edition, The
Journal published an article by
the county agent of Shawano
county, who told of the successful
cultivation of alfalfa in that coun-
ty If it can be done in those two
counties it can be done here. Mr..
Hogan, IN letter to The Journal.
says that by consistent effort he
expects IN the course of a few
years to be able to cut the feed
bill In Marathon county for con-
centrate feeds, which the farmers
have to purchase, at least to the
amount, if not more, than the
taxes that are now being paid on
the farms in that county. If Mr..
Hogan is successful, and there
seems to be no good reason why
he should not, he will have accom-
pished a wonderful thing for the
farmers of Marathon county.
But what he can do there can
be done in Langlade county for
our farmers. But we must have
someone to direct the work. We
must have county agent working
as does Mr.. Rogan, and it will
mean big dividends to the farmers.
The county board will meet again
this month. We hope that it will
give serious consideration to the
county agent matter. When it is
known what is being done by these
representative in other counties
it seems most unfortunate that
our farmers are lacking that di-
rection and not only losing thous-
ands of dollars now, but the pos
sibility of greater profts.-Antigo
Journal.

Embargo on Poultry.

Embargos in Minnesota and
Iowa preventing the shipment of
live poultry into these states from
Wisconsin have been declared to
prevent the spread of the disease
recently discovered in the East
known as European Fowl Plague.
These embargoes are similar in
form to the one declared in Wis
consin preventing the shipment of
live fowls into this state except up
on permit from the Commissioner
Of Agriculture. These various orders
and embargoes have virtually tied
Iup the movement of live poultry
from the farm to the central mar
kets according to H. M. Lackie of
the Wisconsin Department of Mar
kets. Before attempting to ship
live fowls either for market of for
breeding purpos es poultrymen
should inquire Of their express
agent and determine if an embar-
go is in effect on shipments into
that particular territory.
These various embargoes have
been declared in an effort to pre-
vent the spread of the Fowl Fla
que. which is perhaps the most
deadly disease known to affect
adult poultry. 1t may be spread
by coops, cars, infected droppings
or by contact with chickens, tur-
keys or wild birds which have been
exposed. According to Mr.. Lackie
WiscOnsin's 100000 dollar poul-
try industry is too important to
risk destruction and all poultry
men and poultry dealers are urged
to give the best cooperation pos
sible in the disinfection of cars
and coops. IF a suspected out
break of the disease occurs it
should be Immediately reported to
the state veterinarian.
Wisconsin as yet is supposed to
be Tree from infection as no cases
have been reported to date. In
spectors Of the Department of
Markets have visited over one
thousand farm focks in the last
two months and report that they
have been found to be in excel
lent health. Farmers and poultry
men who depend upon the pur-
chase of baby chicks from outside
the state must secure them from
Wisconsin hatcheries this year if
the embargo is not lifted. Hatch
cries report already an increase in
the bookings for baby chicks for
delivery next spring.-Wausau Pr

Here's To You, Dad!

We happened in a home the
other night and over the parlor
door saw the legend worked in let
tiers of red. What is home with
out a mother?" Across the room
was another brief. God bless our
home"
Now what's the ma6ter with
God bless our Dad?' He gets up
early, lights the fire, boils an egg,
grabs his dinner pail and makes
his getaway while his wife takes
a beauty sleep. He makes the
weekly hand-out for the butcher,
the grocer the milkman, and baker,
and his little pile is badly worn
before he has been home an hour
He stands off the bailiff and keeps
the rent paid up.
If there is a noise during the
night, Dad is kicked in the back
and made to go downstairs to find
the burglar and kill him. Mother
darns the socks, but Dad bought
the socks in the first place and the
needles and yarn afterward. Mother
does up the fruit; well, dad bought
| it all, and jars and sugar cost like
the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself
and draws the neck and the ruin:

What is home without mother?'
Yes, that is all right; but what
is home without a father? Ten
chances to one it is boarding
house father is under a slab and
the landlady is a widow. Dad,
here's to you. You've got your
faults-you may have lots of EN-
but you're all right, and we will
miss you when you're gone.-Ex-
