GREETINGS: You are com-
manded to appear and answer the
First Amended Original Petition
of the plaintiff in the here-in-after
described and numbered suit, at
or before 10:00 A. M. of the first
Monday after the expiration of
forty-two (42) days from the date
of the issuance of this citation,
the same being Monday, the 27th
day of March, A. D. 1944, at or
before 10:00 A. M. before the
Honorable District Court
of Refugio County, Texas, at the
Court House in the Town of Re-
fugio, Texas, in cause No. 2716,
styled R. E. Perkins vs. Pearly
Maye Perkins, pending in the Dis-
trict Court of Refugio County,
Texas, where R. E. Perkins is
plaintiff and Pearly Maye Perkins
is defendant. The plaintiff’s First
Amended Original Petition was
filed on the 9th day of February,
A. D. 1944. The nature of the suit
is as follows:
That plaintiff has been a bona
fide inhabitant of the State of
Texas for a period of twelve
(12) months, and has resided in
Refugio County, Texas, for a per-
iod of Six (6) months next pro-
ceeding the filing of this petition
herein.
The plaintiff and defendant were
lawfully married at Sinton, Texas,
on or about the 20th day of No-
vember, 1926, and lived together
as husband and wife until on or
about the 28th day of July; 1943.
At all times while married to
defendant, the plaintiff conducted
himself with propriety, doing his
duties as a husband, and has at
all times treated the defendant
with kindness and respect and has
been guilty of no act bringing
about or causing the here-in-aftei
described omissions and conditions
on defendant’s part. On divers
occasions while plaintiff and de-
fendant lived together, the defen-
dant was guilty of excesses, cruel
treatment and outrages toward the
plaintiff of such a nature as to
render their living together insup-
portable.
WHEREFORE, premises consid-
ered, plaintiff prays that defendant
be cited by publication to appear

In dependable United Gas Service,
your purse has a good friend—it costs
less now than ever before, and natural
gas remains at the same high standard
of quality as before the war. United
Gas Service has NOT contributed to the
increased cost of living.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics in Wash-
ington reports that living costs as of
November 15, 1943, are up more than
24 per cent as compared with the aver-
age of the period 1935-39. The cost of
United Gas Service over the same period
has been substantially reduced.

WANT ADS GET RESULTS
Signs of fcnrmg
/T'HE days are still short; half the nation shivers under a blanket
■JL of snow—but there are signs of spr.ng evcrj where if you know
where to look for them.
They are little things—such as new seed catalogs, ads clioped
from magazines, reminders, scribbled on backs of envelopes, of
things to be done.
Thousands of men, all over the country, are making such notes,
looking, ahead—farmers, manufacturers, storekeepers, bankers.
They represent what is called “management,” and they know that
to make the most of any season requires pretty careful figuring.
There’s a skill in this management. It’s a skill that men who run
things have in common—that men who run things successfully
have got to have. Management’s problems are a good deal alike,
no matter what the business—getting help, meeting payrolls and
tax payments, making ends meet and having a little left over fori
new projects, planning for the future without letting the planning
’nterfere with the job in hand.
And when you talk with these men, you find they have the
same objectives, too. Right now they want to get the war won
at the lowest possible cost in lives and suffering. After that’s done,
they’ll be back on their never-ending job of turning out the ma-
terial things needed to make a better peacetime world. General
