The object of this suit is to procure
decree divorcing the plaintiff, vim
culo matrimonii, from the defendant.
The bill states that the plaintiff and
the defendant were married on the
third day of February 1919, and re-
sided together in Worcester County
and State of Maryland and in the
city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
until the 28th day of May in the year
1923; that although the conduct OF the
plaintiff towards the defendant has
always been kind, affectionate and a.
bove reproach, the said defendant,
without any just cause or reason, a.
bandoned and deserted the plaintiff,
and has declared his intention to live
with her no longer, and that such g.
abandonment has continual uninterrupt-
eddy for more than three years, and is
deliberate and final, and the separa-
ton of the parties beyond any reason
able expectation of reconciliation;
that the plaintiff and defendant have
had no children born to them from
said marriage; that the plaintiff de-
sires permission to resume her maiden
name, Lillian K. johnson, that the
plaintiff has resided continuously in
said Worcester County, for more than
two years; and that the defendant is q
nonresident of the State of Maryland,
and when last heard from was resid-
ing in the state of Pennsylvania.
It is thereupon this 18th day of
June 1926, ordered by the Circuit
Court for Worcester County, in equi-
ty, that the plaintiff by causing copy
OF this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in said Worces-
ter County, once in each of four sue
cessive weeks before the 26th day Of
July, 1926, give notice to the said
nonresident defendant, Harry A.
Dreyer of the object and substance of
this bill, warning him to be and appear
in this Court in person or by solicitor,

The Old Job

For fifteen years / herded geese,
and often heaved q sob, and wished
that | might find release from such
a beastly job. 1t was q dull and
weary round / followed every day,
pursuing geese, with horse and
hound, upon their foolish way.
envied all who passed along. upon
their erTands bent; the soulful poet
with his song, the tinker with his
tent, the yeoman with his span of
mares, the schoolgirl with her doll,
the man who peddled Belgian hares,
I envied one and all. To high adven-
ture l aspired, and so my life seemed
stale; the he-man's doings l desired
far more than sordid kale. And then
twas weary years ago-I hired out
TO a man to sell the works of +. p.
Roe upon commission plan. / daily
saw my woes increase and oft, as eve
ming fell, wished might be herding
geese in some star spangled dell.
None wished the works of Z. p. Roe,
and when I'd sell my wares, men
greeted me with oath and blow and
kicked me down the stairs. And when
they saw me thump and roll along
from step to step, they pelted me with
chunks of coal, and showed exceeding
pep. There was no sympathy for one
who peddled wholesome books; and
cops upon my trail would run, ignor-
fng knaves and crooks. And how l
longed to be again the herdsman of
the geese, and drive my charges
through the glen in blissful calm and
peace. I'd never know that jobs de-
light in all my earthly quest; twas
held down by another wight who
knew when he was blest. I've worked
at forty jobs since then, acquired
some store of jack, but evermore,
again. again, wish the old job back.
So every old and wintry gent looks
back, with yearning frown, to work
that gave him discomfort when once
he held it down. There is no job
like herding geese" he says, with
longing tense, to Beryl Mae, his lovely
niece, who wishes he'd talk sense.

NEW YORK, December 27.--The
New York World says today that COM
munistic activities in the past year
have cost the needle trades union APP
parently $4,000, 900; have practically
wrecked the FurrierS' Union. and par-
TALLY wrecked the Internationa
Ladies Garment Workers Union
through strikes that could have been
avoided.
A meeting called for tonight at
Cooper Union by the Cloak Cutters
Union. ostensibly TO install officers.
the World declares, was actually call
ed TO discuss the situation and to re-
ceive assurances of support from the
American Federation of Labor in COM
batting communism.
Union officials are quoted as esti-
mating that leaders in a cloak and
suit strike caused a loss of 1000 OOO
in wages to get results that could
have been obtained without a strike.
The World says that actually the
figure should be about So, 500. .000,
since many of the strikers worked
under non.union conditions during
the strike.
The furrierS are estimated to have
lost S5, 760 600 in wages, but the World
thinks So, 2,O00. 900 should be deducted
from this because of workers labor
ing elsewhere in 1.-The first strike in
New York needle trades history in
which it was necessary to picket
shops at night to keep strikers from
scabbing on themselves"
In addition, it is estimated that
there was expenditure of $2,500,O00 to
SO, 500 900, or nine times as much as
in the steel strike of 1919. The Fur
riers' Union is estimated to have a
$500. 900 deficit

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
IN AGAIN our AGAIN

Whenever popular Greek
Is favored by frolicsome fate,
And holds for the term of week
His place as the head of the state;
When the populace drives him away,
He observes with the ghost of
smile,
AS his vessel steams out of the bay:
well, I stayed on the job quite
whilet
When the people have nothing to do
But look at stale cinema plays,
When nothing seems zestful or new
In the march of the wearisome days,
Some lad in the midst of the throng
Bursts out with an echoing shout:
"The governments all in the wrong
Let's go throw the premier out"
So up to the palace they go,
With clamor and tumult and roar,
And the inmate looks out and says,
"Oh!
You don't want me round any more"
So he quietly lights a cigar
With never a sign of a shock,
And clambering into his ear
He hurries away to the dock.
Most rulers soon wear themselves out
In running nations affairs
They have plenty to worry about
They are heavily burdened with
cares.
But in Greece he gets all the renown
With none of the wearisome stuff
He never can break himself down.
For he never is there long enough!
