Now Ask Divorce
Hollldayshurg. Pa., Oct. 2.—-"One
wife is enough for me," said John
J. Closin, while telling his matri
monial troubles to Judge Baldridge
In court at Hollidaysburg. Clossin,
a Cross Keys lumberman, was
brought before the court on a charge
preferred by his wife, who claims he
has not been supporting her prop
erly.
The case is a remarkable one in
that the pair have resided together
more or less happily for 52 years.
Both are past the allotted three
score years und ten.
When the court expressed the
opinion that it was rather late in
life for such a matrimonial alterca
tion. the defendant earnestly con-
Med thai it was only a move on
the part of his wife to get rid of
him. "I'll go." explained Clossin,
energetically, "but I don't want any
more wives; one is enough for me."
By the court's decree he will be
obliged to pay his wife $l2 monthly
toward her support.

Correct Fashions
and Real Economy
In Men's Clothes
The one big import
flL ant point which you
J can always remember 1
about Schleisner
jßOki. clothes for men is the
JffiK correctness of the
style without sacrific
in p5 i n the least, the
many times that so
j \ long as a man gets the
y J J correct style in his
/] clothes, so long as his
jSpF suit or overcoat looks
BB g" ooc h he is satisfied.
Mm A few men might
yjBJ he like that, but we
believe the majority
men want their
clothes well tailored, 5
the best quality pos- |
| sible to get, and both combined with the cor
al rect style.
Schleisner suits and overcoats are authentic in
fashion, tailored the best that men's clothing can |
| be tailored, and the quality of material is assured.
Yet Schleisner Clothes cost you no more than |
the ordinary kind, therefore, it is real economy §
