6 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 5, 1918 THE DIVORCE ...MILL.. Emery S. Mayes was yesterday granted a divorce from P. A. Mayes, the decree also allowing the plaiutiff the resumption of her maiden name of Emley S. Black. Meta M. Decker is another plaintiff in a divorce action, she starting pro ceedings against Herman C. Decker. Cruel and inhuman trreatment and disregard of the nuptial vows are listed as cause for the suit. On the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment, Maud Taitmeyer was yes terday divorced from Otto Taitmeyer, and allowed the custody of their minor child, Helen. The Taitmeyers were married in Portland in February, 1910, and the wife charged her spouse with a number of connubial digressions. In the suit of Florence V. Sykes against Beryl E. Sykes, the court granted an order directing the defend ant to pay the sum of $75 attorney's tees and $25 suit money, to prosecute tne action. Sykes is the manager oi the Sandy creamery, and is charged by his wife with cruel and inhuman treatment. Ed DeYoung of Portland is another unhappy married, man seeking free dom from a wayward wife, if his com plaint for legal separation from Jean De Young, filed with the circuit court yesterday, be true. They were married In Seattle in 1915, and the wife is charged with a series of cruel and. In human acts, which tended to disrupt the happy home life of the plaintiff. Ida MaMy Bybee was granted a di vorce Tuesday from Guy Carl Hybee, by decree of Judge Campbell. She was also allowed the resumption of her maiden name of Ida Walte. Jennie A. Fulton also secured a decree of di vorce yesterday, she being legally separated from William Fulton. Her former name of Jennie A. Stephens was restored her. What happier or more romatlc spot than that little place, back in New York state, could a couple find to start their wedded life than Bliss, in Wyom ing county? With such a start it seems impossible for domestic grief to follow, but in the divorce suit of Leon F. Rugg against Inez M. Rugg filed here yester day, it shows that a name really does toot have much in it anyway. The hus band charges hiB wife with desertion In Buffalo, New York, in 1912, Just two years after their blissful beginning. There are no children or property in terests Involved in the proceedings. A unique complaint for divorce was filed here in the circuit court Satur day, when Emma Cupp commenced action for seperation from Archie Cupp. The wife claims that at the time of their wedding, in Vancouver, February 16, 1918, her husband was below the legal age. Desertion is the ground fqr divorce, in the suit of Charles Ljecht, who has filed his complaint here against Mary Leicht. They were married in 1915, and in June a year ago the' alleged desertion took place. Upon her de parture, avers the plaintiff, his wife took with her the sum of $500 and her husband's gold watch. Lorette E. Warner is suing C. M. Warner for divorce, after a second attempt to make a go of their mat rimonial ventures. The couple were married last July, after having been divorced previously. They are the parents of four children, the custody of whom the mother asks the court to grant her, along with the sum of $30 monthly for their care and education. Cruel and inhuman treatment is the basis of the complaint. Within one month after the mar riage, at Vancouver, in May 1916, Beryl E. Sykes commenced with a course of cruel and inhuman treat ment against his wife, Florence V. Sykes, according .to her complaint for divorce filed here Saturday. She charges that he hurled a cup of hot chocolate in her face, slapped and cursed her, and knocked her down. They have one child, whom the mother wishes to have awarded in her cus tody. She also asks the sum of $75 diatelv with which to prosecute the case, and $40 a month permanent alimony. She says her husband is $150 monthly as the man ager of the creamery at Sandy, this county. came west, and they lived In Portland and this city, before going to Spokane. The return to Oregon City was made in the interests of Mrs. Spiger's health. Besides her husband, she is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Jessie. Bishop, of Spokane, and Miss Grace Spiger and Miss Rose Spiger, of this city. Miss Grace Spiger is employed in the public schools at Marcus, Washington, and had left for there on last Saturday morning.

Somebody, feeling that the American soldier In France needed a nickname dubbed him "Sammie." Then someone else referred to him by that name and still another adopted It and the use of It became general. The nickname prob ably was selected because the United States is referred to as Uncle Sam. It Is probable that It is referred to as Uncle Sam because the abbreviation of the name of the country was" U. S., and somebody built the name Uncle Sam out of the Initials as representing the incarnation of the country In one man. No mattep what the origin of the name is tne soldiers do not like It. The Stars and Stripes, the official publica tion of the expeditionary forces.says the American soldier did not invent It, does not like It, and never uses it and will not recognize it. It says when he sees it in papers from home It makes him sick. . Seeming to think that a name for the American soldier should be found, the Stars .and Stripes says: "When, in the fullness of time, the American army has been welded by shock and suffering into a single fighting force, with one mind, one heart and one spirit, the American sol dier will find his name. It will be the Inspiration of some ambulance driver, perhaps, or the outburst of some eloquent cook. It will strike the fancy of a passing guard and be for warded through military channels like a sentry's call. Wounded boys will carry It back to base hospitals and ammunition train drivers will spread it to the base ports. Some reporter will hear It at some distant bar and put it into the story he has to write that night. It will be printed In Amer ica. Paragraphers and cartoonists and vaudeville comedians will use it. It will be caught up at home and in the training camps. The name will be fastened on. The American sol dier will have been christened. He does not know now what that name will be. -He simply knows it won't be 'Sammie. " But what is the need of a nickname for the American soldier? Isn't Amer icon good enough? There would be no thought of a nickname but for the fact that the British soldier is re ferred to as Tommy Atkins, and then, losing his surname is referred to as Tommy. But we do not know that the French soldier has a nickname. The Italian, the Belgian, the Serb, the Montenegrin Is also referred to with out a nickname. Why bother about calling the American anything but Americans? Florida Times Union. Drugs, Toilet Articles, Stationery, Sundries ore all on the price-cut list at Jones9 Removal Sal e !

"Delmas remarks," says Annales de Medicine, "that as soon as the soldier enters the hospital he steps out of mil itary discipline, and yet the hospital authorities have no Jurisdiction over him. He can accept or refuse opera' tlons, injections of drugs, etc., at his own will. But almost Invariably the wounded or sick soldier absolutely trusts his surgeon or physician as long as no foreign element modifies his grateful confidence." He further goes ob to say that two elements may interfere, one the fear of puln or anesthetic! and the other j unwillingness to be cured and return to military duty, and calls the latter cases desertion. In either case pres sure Is brought to bear in the way of j pension considerations or the return I lug of the refractory patient to his reg iment for disciplinary measures. The Mentally Defective Soldier. "For the first time in the history of warfare," says the New York Medi cal Journal, "mental hygiene as prac ticed among the soldiers Is given the prominence it deserves, and, profiting by the experience of England and j France in the present war, the surgeon general was Impelled to Inaugurate nn elaborate organization both in num ber and plan,- to take care of nny men tal disturbances detected In the camps or among the soldiers during the war. This is a distinct innovatlon'ln the medical army work, for the subjects of mental hygiene and of mental and nervouB diseases In general as occur Ing among soldiers In war time were for many reasons either slightly treat ed or neglected altogether." 1 Power and Mite The full series of high boiling points in "Red Crown" makes power and mileage sure.

They shook, and when Trlvate Jones, still wondering, reached his home in the far north, a sergeant seeing him pass, took him to the colonel, who shook hands, nnd said: "The army Is very proud of you." He did not learn the reason for all this friend liness until he reached home.

OREGON CITY, ORE. 3 Details of the new plan are set forth by Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, and H. P. McCain, adjutant general in communications received at O. A. C. where a military unit will be estab lished next fall. The plan, according to details re ceived from the adjutant general calls for approximately 650 hours of military work each yearon he basis of 33 weeks for the academic year and a six week's camp. "It is expected," he said, "that this will qualify a considerable per centage of the students to enter officers' train- ; camps on being called to the colors, and a large percentage of the remain der to serve as non-commissioned offi cers. The number to be certified for training as officers from any institution will not be based on an arbitrary per centage. It will depend on the quality of the men developed at that institu tion and the necessities of the service at the time." , Not only will there be at least three army officers in charge of the training of the members of the military unit at the Oregon Agricultural college, but the rIx or seven officers of the detach ment of soldiers receiving ' Bpeclal training In mechanics and military tactics will be available for this work. Members of the unit drill while the de tachment soldiers are receiving me chanical instruction, and thus the mili tary officers will be released for addi tional duties. There will probably be a number of Clackamas county boys attend the col lege at Corvallis for the course.

MAN TELLS HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN The best way to get good seedi corn Is to grow it at home, says B. F. Shee han, of the Oregon Agricultural College Experiment station. The best time to select It is before danger of killing frost, and the best way by going through the field with a sack selecting the choicest and best matured ears. It is within the power of the grower to select corn that will mature year after year before frost. The two great est causes of immature corn are too large varieties and varieties not adapt ed, to the climate and soli. Every well formed, well matured ear is considered valuable for seed pur poses when grown upon a strong stalk. It is well to note whether the stalks about it are strong. Ears that grow very high or low upon the stalk shoufd be discarded for their undesirable po sition. Those about hip-high with. a tendency to hang tip downward are preferred. Well selected ears are nearly cylin drical and. of medium size. . Rows are straight and close., together, well car ried out over tip and butt. Kernels are uniform in size and shape slightly wedged or key-stone have good depth and medium rough indentation, fitting close together. A large, clear germ in dicates strong vitality. About twice as many ears should be selected in the field as will be needed to plant next season's crop. Men Feel Tired, Too While much is said about tired wo men.it must be remembered that men also pay the penalty of over-work. When the kidneys are weak, inactive or sluggish, when one feels tired out and miserable, lacks energy and am bition. Foley Kidney Pills are tonic and strengthening. Wm. H. Clark, Springfield, Ohio, writes: "I found no relief from kidney trouble until I discovered Foley Kidney Pills. Now I am in A 1 shape." They act quick. Icy and surely.

Young Butler with two other lads, Malcom and Ira Rose, was charged Sturday night and driving said auto into foreign parts. The other boys were held for trial on their own recognizance but when time for trial came they failed to appear. When they were hunted they could not be found and it was discovered that they had taken French leave for parts unknown.
