A New Cause for Divorce:

Hopkins —–There have been eight causes for divorce in the State of Minnesota for some years, so the lawyers informed the reporters of the Review. Most of them are well known, desertion, drunkenness over a long period, insanity for ten years, adultery, cruel and inhuman treatment, etc. Now apparently comes another one. In Hennepin County District court a young lady asked a divorce from her soldier husband, away on the fighting fronts. The soldier-husband waived his legal right to hold up the proceedings pending his return. Her reason divorcing him she stated, “He told me he would take me to the Hopkins Raspberry Festival as a wedding present, or a trip but he reneged.

That Dog Again:

The Journal family dog has been in the animal hospital for two weeks, and it was as though a member of the family circle was missing. We missed her agonized yelps when she tried to climb an oak tree after a squirrel, her wholehearted attempts to catch mice when sent her on the trail, and even missed having to let her in and out of the house just as we’d get comfortably settled with the evening paper. She is back from the hospital now but with none of the old zip.

Needed More Than Ever:

With gasoline rationed, the telephone becomes more necessary than ever. It saves countless steps and valuable time. The possessor of a telephone is now doubly fortunate. John Grimm, Manager/ Mazeppa Telephone Co.
