DIVORCE MILL IS ACTIVE

Judges Untangle Several Matrimonial Complications Daily.

Des Moines still bids fair to rival Reno in the divorce batting average. Judges of the District court are kept busy all day listening to marital difficulties.

Judge De Graff granted Florence Warford, a divorce from her husband, James E. Warford, on the grounds of cruelty, inhuman treatment and drunkenness.

Elizabeth Harris was granted a similar decree in the same court. She charged her husband, Ralph Harris, with cruelty.

Mary Davidson was allowed a legal separation by Judge Thomas Guthrie. C. W. Davidson, her husband, is a convicted felon.
