In the nations present mobili'
cation effort, some of the most
essential production machinery is
on farms. To meet defense needs
for agricultural products, farm
ers will need to get the most out
of their farm machinery and
equipment. Thus, keeping farm
machinery in good repair, cut
ting down on wear in operation,
and sharing in it's use comprise
one of the farmers most import
ant mobilization jobs.

TO: ORETHA V. SMITH, De
PENDANT and nonresident of the
State of Maryland
The object of this suit is that the
complainant may be divorced A
VINCULO MATRIMONII from the
said Defendant, and for other relief.
The Bill states that the parties were
married on the 18th day of October,
1887, by a Minister of the Gospel in

they took up their residence in Hunt
ington, West Virginia, until 1943,
when your Orator secured a position
in Washington, D. c., finally coming
to Hagerstown on July l, 1850. That
the said Defendant, deserted the
Complainant on or about September
of 1913, and refused to live with him,
and the Defendants last known adj
dress was Huntington, West Vir-
ginia, and your Complainant is
resident of Washington County,
Maryland, at the present time and
has been since July LIST, 1850. That
your Complainant has always been
kind, true and affectionate husband
towards the said Defendant, and has
given her no just cause for said de-
sertion, and the said separation and
desertion has been continuous since
September of 1943, and is deliberate
and final and beyond any hopes of
reconciliation. That there were no
children born unto your Complain
ant and Defendant as a result of said
marriage; And the Bill prays for an
Order of Publication.
It is thereupon this 9Th day of No
vember, A. D., 1851, by the Circuit

ting as a Court of Equity, ordered

leach of four successive weeks prior
to the 9th day of December, 1851,
give notice to the said nonresident
defendant of the object and sub
stance of this suit and warning her
to be and appear in this Court in
person or by Solicitor on or before
the 22nd day of December, 1851, to
answer the premises and show cause,
if any there be, why Decree ought
not to be passed as prayed.
