Rowena Florence Ryan began proceedings today In the circuit court for Marlon county against her. husband, Martin Lawrence Ryan, alleging as cause for the decree that Martin Lawrence, as a member of the Tongues of Fire" sect, committed her to the care of the Lord and neglected to provide for her and her five child ren, with the necessaries of life. She was commanded by her husband, she - alleges, to "Obey the Lord and he would provide a home for her and her child ren," and since he had committed her to the eare of the Lord as aforesaid, he, himself, had considered himself relieved of ail responsibility In the matter. Mrs. Ryan intimates in her complaint that either she failed to obey the Lord as commanded, or that the Lord overlooked her. Anyhow, she has been compelled to seek employment as a telephone girl to support herself and five young ones. DAYTON BOOSTERS TO WORK FOR THEIR TOWN .

For the protection of this great wealth the forestry board says the people , of the state through their legislative body have done prac tically .nothing. . : Alt industry that brings to the state $20,000,000 annually, says the report, and is the source of much future Wealth if properly conserved, should demand more J3d and This great sale commenced last week and rum through the whole of January month.
