Des Moines January 4 Judge J C Hume newly appointed to the Polk county district bench in the equity division told attorneys in divorce actions to lay all cards on the table in court.

Skating Rink Plan Delayed by Thaw in City Rivers
Mayor N W Frisbie cannot advance plans for a municipal ice skating rink while warm weather thaws the river. He will seek council approval to establish free rinks once freezing resumes and include Pat's pond for supervised skating. Ice harvest prospects remain uncertain as surface contamination and openings appear. River men estimate ten days of hard freezing needed to regain harvest thickness.
