by his wife. Mrs. Carrie Hart Cox, 543 Fleming street. Non-payment of 158.50, including a 655 monthly payment ordered in superior court two recently when Mrs. Cox obtained a limited divorce, is charged against Cox. Mrs. Cox has custody of the four children, ranging in age from 13 to 5, she told the court, and depends upon the support money for their maintenance. She exhibited to the court a summons served last Wednesday notifying her that Cox had filed for divorce in Juarez. The notice was dated Aug. 4. and she was given three dayr. to answer. The summons was not received until nineteen days after filing, however. Although Mrs. Cox told the court she never knew her husband had been in Mexico or owned property there, Cox testified he made a flying visit Aug. 17, staying one day in Juarez. The complaint gives his

address as 106 Sixteenth of September avenue, Juarez. He told the court he understood the divorce was to cost him S4O, out he never had paid the sum, and didn't know whether he had a divorce. “Well, I don’t know about that, but I do know I won't recognize such a divorce unless the Indiana supreme court rules it legal.” Geckler replied. “I will withhold judgment, but you must pay for the support of your children.” Cox promised to pay. and left the room, cramming the Mexican documents, seals, flourishes and all, into his pocket. Allied Youth Elect Chairman Leaders of Indianapolis Allied Youth Council elected M. R. Tibbs chairman at a meeting in the English Monday night. Invitation was extended to twenty-three groups in Indiana to hold the first Indiana convention of Allied Youth in Indianapolis Nov. 4 and 5.

816 4-H ENTRY IS ANTICIPATED AT STATE FAIR Concession Booths Rising Like Mushrooms as Activities Boom. Grunts of thirty-one Poland China pigs, neighing of scores of light harness horses, heavy hoofbeats of eight big drafters as they pranced to their stalls, accompanied by the noise of hammer and saw as concession booths sprung up like mushrooms, were some of the early indications of activity on the Indiana state fair ground today.

The eightieth annual fair will open Saturday morning. Along with this activity a glimpse into Purdue and Indiana university exhibit buildings revealed instructors and extension men, with sleeves rolled up. putting into place their educational display. Another group was busy on the west end of the grounds erecting cages for the zoo to be brought down from Pokagon state park by the department of conservation. These general activities represent in a small w’ay the tangible preparations for the fair, w’hile a dozen extra clerks are tabulating the entries in the Boys and Girls 4-H Club classes, which are unusually ; large. E. J. Barker, secretary-treasurer, 1 expects the list to be the largest in ! the history of the fair, although final information will not be available for another day or two. One feature of the fair, the Girls ! school, which began last Friday is 1 in full swing with a program cov-

ering every phase of home economics. The first porkers to arrive several days ahead of the usual time were from Wonderland Farms at Wolcott, Ind.. and Columbia Stock Farm at Columbia, Mo. The horses were eight Percherons from the Dr, E. T* Hines farm at Hume. 111., all the livestock coming from the Illinois state fair which was held last week. Indications are for the largest livestock show in the history of the fair, with an unusual number of entries by 4-H Club members.
