The divorce complaint in the Neu-
nicipal court by Milwaukee attorney,
but the case has not yet been heard.
Judge Slater again called the at
torneys from Milwaukee to task when
they brought their cases into court
again this week, telling them it was a
shame to bring their innumerable di-
vorce actions into q court which is al
ready over burdened with work. The
out-of-town attorneys listened to the
lecture and then brought in their
clients as If it were a storm which
had simply blown over.
Three divorces we're granted by
Judge Slater, the persons at litigation
being all non-residents Of Kenosha.
Bertha Whitman Wilson was granted
divorce from Don Wallace Wilson,
They were married at Waukegan, June
6, 1921; they have no children. Mrs.
Wilson says that her husband was
formerly a railroad switchman but
that since prohibition he has become
bootlegger. She charged laziness and
finally desertion in 1922.
In the divorce case of August Kas-
ten VS.. Ella Miller Hasten, Kasten's
mother-in-law came to s. rescue and
testified for him. Mrs. Miller was be-
tween two stones, as the mother of
the daughter who was the defendant
in the case, she wept in chagrin and
suffering for the story she had to tell.
Hasten and Ella Miller were mar
ried at Milwaukee, Oct. %, 1914, and
have one child, Lorraine, now in the
custody of the grandmother, Mrs. Mil
Ter. hasten charged that his wife had
become enamored of another, man
named Carl Nelson. This charge was
confirmed by both the young woman's
mother and her sister, though the
mother burst into tears on the stand
while she admitted the truth of the
charge.
Eva Hanson was granted a divorce
from Kent Hansen. They were mar
ried at Milwaukee, Feb. 2, 1921, and
have one child, Violet. Mrs. Hansen
said that her husband never provided
a home and that all he bought for the
house was a bed, table and few
chairs. He did start to make pay
mencs on a Victrola, she said, but that
was taken away because he couldn't
keep up the payments. Desertion on
March IL, 1924, was charged.
A hearing was held before Judge |
Slater in the case Of Lille Fhntoff VS..
Fred Flintoff but the divorce was not
granted.

Carries Detailed Map.
When planning the trip Mr.. Jacobs
sent to Washington and procured from
the war department detailed map
of the route which he carries with
him. This shows every step of the
route with distances, indicates where
80 locks will be encountered in the
Drainage Canal, and marks the route
from the mouth of the Mississippi
river along the Gulf shore line east
to the west coast of Florida which it
is the purpose of The Sprays crew to
follow.
It is estimated the distance to be
sailed between Kenosha and the Mis-
sissippi river is 425 miles, from that
point to the Gulf about 500 miles, and
around the Gulf shore line to Sara
sofa about 1900 miles. Just when

Once in Florida, it is Mr.. Jacobs in
tention to spend the winter there, re-
turning to Kenosha in the spring. He
announced before departing that he
would return the same way he went,

predict he will dispose of his launch
in Florida and return by train.

This is not the first unusual trip
Mr.. Jacobs has undertaken, but it is

most of it was made alone. He chose

but he encountered more hardships
than on the downward voyage. In
travelling the Kentucky mountain roads
he broke five springs in one day. The
last lap of the journey, from Cincin-

In 1912 Mr.. Jacobs made q trip to

Better wear out than rust out.

Better wear out than rust out
This is the motto OF eter Jacobs,
lifelong Kenoshan, who yesterday, at
the age of III, set sail from Kenosha
with lone boy companion in 20
foot gasoline launch for Florida.
Down the lake to Chicago, via the
Chicago river and Illinois Drainage
Canal into the Illinois river, thence
into the Mississippi river, down into
the Gulf of Mexico, and around the
gulf coast to his destination, is the
route mapped out by this aged but
boyish man who loves the outdoors,
loves roughing it better than any coy
Preside ever offered.
Amply able to enjoy the comforts
and ease of a Pullman, or the most
modernly appointed automobile, he
prefers to travel by boat for the
novelty of it and the joy of being on
the water and out Of doors.
His craft is "The Spray" gasoline
launch purchased recently from Louis
Pfarr. 1t is but rs feet il length, and
is equipped with 2-cylinder Graham
motor, but it is fitted to provide all
the comforts of home during the sew
eral weeks it is expect ID to require
him to reach his destination, Sara

Can't Sell Socks
by Chain Letter

Madison, Wis - The sale OF
hosiery on a plan modelled on the old
chain letter idea is a violation of the
Wisconsin trading stamp law, Attorney
General Ekern today advised j. G..
Emery, state dairy and food commits
sioner.
Commissioner Emery submitted a
specimen of contract and coupon
used by an Illinois company in the
sale of hosiery in Wisconsin. The
plan was outlined thus:
The proposed purchaser pays 81,
receiving coupon, which is mailed to
the company with So. In return the
purchaser gets three coupons which
are sold to three others, the purchaser
retaining the So. The others are ex-
pected to repeat the process, and
when SO has been received from each
of the other three, the original pur-
chaser is notified and becomes en-
titled to so worth of hosiery.
In declaring the plan unlawful, j.
F. Messerschmidt, assistant attorney
general, stated that "by an appeal to
cupidity it lures to improvidence.
