ORDER OF PUBLICATION
MARY E. GREEN
CHARLES L. GREEN

CHARLES L. GREEN
No. 1928 Equity In The Circuit
Court For Washington County
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure divorce A VINCULO MATRI-
MONII from the Respondent, Charles
L. Green, for the Complainant, Mary
E. Green.
The Bill of Complaint states that
the Parties to this cause were mar
ried on May 30th, 1887, by Reverend
William M. Norment, Minister of the
First Christian Church at Hagers-
town, Maryland; that three children
were born as a result of said mar
rlage union: Joann E. Green, twelve,
Charles L. Green, Jr., nine, and
Gary W. Green, four years of age,
and that said children are presently
in the custody of the Complainant;
that ever since said marriage, the
Complainant has conducted herself
as chaste, faithful and affectionate
wife toward the Respondent; that
Notwithstanding, said Respondent
abandoned and deserted the Com
plalnant at Washington County,
Maryland, on or about March 5th,
1948, said abandonment and deser-
ton having been continuous and UNI
interrupted since said date, and that
there is no reason to hope for a re-
Cancellation of the parties hereto, the
separation being deliberate and final
on the part of the Respondent; that
the Complainant has been resident
of Washington County, Maryland,
for more than one year last passed,
and the Respondent, when last heard
from by your Complainant, was liv-
ing in Chicago, Illinois.
The Bill of Complaint then prays
that the Complainant may be divorc-
ed A VINCULO MATRIMONII from
the Respondent; that she may be
awarded the care and custody of the
aforementioned three minor chill
dren; and that she may have such
other and further relief as her cause
may require.
1t is thereupon this 5th day of Sep
TENDER, A. p, 1850, by the Circuit
Court for Washington County, Mary
land, sitting in equity, ordered that
the Complainant, by causing a copy
of this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Washington
County, Maryland, once in each of
four successive weeks prior to the
5th day of October, 1850, giving no.
tice to the said Charles L. Green,
nonresident Respondent, of the OBJ
ject and substance of this suit and
warning him to be and appear in this
Court, either in person or by solicit
or, on or before the Goth day of
October, 1850, to answer the pre-
misses herein and show cause, if any
he may have, why decree ought not
pass as prayed

Decreased Crop Yield
In Virginia Eases
Shortage Of Labor
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Sept. "a de-
creased yield of principal crops
temporarily has eased labor short
ages on the Eastern Shore and ir
the West Point area, the Vir-
ginia State Employment Service
said today.
The service said plans for re.
cruiting of needed workers for the
fall harvest on the Eastern Shore
"are progressing satisfactorily" II
added there currently is a surplus
of local labor in fruit growing
areas afters the close of the peach
season. These workers are ex-
pected to be absorbed as the apple
harvest gets under way IN Vir-
ginia's Western counties.
Ample labor seems assured for
harvesting the crop, which is less
than normal volume in most
areas" VSES said. 1.-THE fruit.
however, is reported to be of ex-
cellent quality"
A summary of the farm labor
supply in the State included re-
ports on these areas:
