AND THEY GO BACK TO IOWA That some divorced people are quite anxious to get married at once to another soul mate, has been twice demonstrated within twenty-four hours at the marriage license bureau at the court house. Clerk Stubbendorf, better known as "Cupid," refused to Issue licenses for two couples to wed, because the previously divorced woman of each pair would not swear or prove that she had been divorced over six months. One woman appeared with her intended new hubby late 'Wednesday afternoon. After close questioning Stubbendorf dis covered that she had been divorced quite recently, the woman saying that ahe "couldn't remember Just when.- "Cupid" had to refuse to Issue a license. Early Thursday morning another young couple appeared for a license. The young man admitted that his intended had been dtvoroed. but he "didn't knew Just how long ago." The girl was equally ignorant of that little Item of fact, and her mother, accompanying them, also failed to offer the information. "Well. I can't Issue a license for you to wed until I know when the divorce was granted," Btubbendorf explained. 'How long do you have to be divorced before you can get married again V the youth asked. But "Cupid" periled the query and said be must know the date of the decree. "Well, I'll swear It was long enough ago to make another wedding lawful," the prospective groom volunteered anx iously. Not being satisfied with such a sllp shod method of satisfying the law Stub bendorf' told them ha must have proof. The three went away dejected and were overheard to remark aa they went out that they would have to go back to Iowa and wait a while.
