• What about Corn Pickers? Every day. by mail, by telegraph, by telephone, > we are receiving urgent appeal* from farmers for McCormick-Deering corn picker* to harvest thte year’s crop. With farm labor shortage* ever more acute than in DM3, the demand for picker* has skyrocketed. It is many times greater than ever before, greater than our capacity, or the capacity of the whole induntry, to produce. We have done everything we can to help in this situation. (1) We have completed production of our 1945 corn picker program, and have done it weeta earlier than ever before. (2) We have actually built 50', more corn pickers than in any other year of thb* Company’s history. (3) We have allocated these machines to the corn-growing reguins, with government approval, in the fairest way we know. Corn pickers are still under rationing, and every com peker we built has been allotted to a farmer with a rationing certificate for ft. They were al! sold before they ever left the factory . There is no surplus, no reserve of machines. There simply are not enough corn pickers to go around in this year of unprecedented demand. Cnder the circumstances, what can be done? We can only make one suggestion and that to for our farmer friends to follow the old helpfulneighbor tradition of American farming, a tradition that eomes down from the day* of ham-rateing and log-rolling. If farmers will bhare their machine* and share their labor, much can he done to harvest this vital wartime crop of corn. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY

The complications Ix-gan five years after the marriage ceremony. when Virginia Arruza found that her husband was "secretly trying to get a divorce" from a woman whom he had married previously. . Joe maintained that he had thought hla wife was dead when h« remarried. Virginia Arruza immediately packed up and left. However, after consulting with attorneys, who advised her that because or the first woman she was not married, she considered herself not married. Then, for the sake of the children, she went back with Joe Arruzo and lived with him as a common law wife. In the meantime, on March 3b, H4S. the first woman got a di-

She tiled a divorce complaint, charging that her "husband" deserted her. Her busband filed a cross complain? She then filed an amended coinplaint charging her husband with failure to sup port her. and causing her to work when she was physically unfit. She further claimed he had threatened her with a deadly weapon and falsely accused her of associating with other men. After some bickering in which charges of idgamy and infidelity were hurled back and fourth, the pair came to an agreement by which she would be given a "divorce" upon her amended complaint and he would withdraw his cross complaint. He agreed .to pay 17 a month for the care of the children and she agreed to give him custody of them every Sunday from 9 o'clock In the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This still left the question aa to whether or not they were married at all to be solved by Judge Fruchte. He ruled that the couple were not married when the marriage ceremony was held, because of the first wife. He also ruled that they were married when they lived together in common law marriage after the divorce by the first wife and therefore she could get a divorce which he granted her. o RED CROSS MEETING (Continued From Page D public and Catholic schools, in filling Christmas Itoxes to be sent to war refugees in liberated countries overseas and Christmas decorations for army campa.

as a whole cait 27.243,460 votes for Mr. Roosevelt and 22.304, <55 for Willkle. Discounting the solid south where Republicans get bard)y more than token support th* president had a 1940 election day margin over bls Republican opponent of around 4,0«0.00o votes. Os that nation-wide edge, the 1! pivotal states listed in the foregoing accounted for Just more than 2.U00.000 votes of the margin by which the president was rettraed to office. A slight shift percentagewise In some of these states would move them from the Democratic column to the Republican column. And a factor to be remembered is that whereas nearly 50.000.0<mi votes were cast in the 1940 presidential election, estimates of the probable total thio year range from 40.000.000 up. A reduced vote would be attributed to apathy, failure of servicemea to vote In large numbers and —the bugaboo that keeps Democratic managers working hard in the daytlmp and perhaps awake at night -failure of hundreds of thousands of war workers to register and to vote In their new election districts. o Been are classified legally as livestock In Wyoming.
