THE LAW SERVES YOU HAPPILY ^ LAWS CHANGE^ AS THE YEARS ROLL BY ; You can be glad you live in Illinois, a.d. 1968. v The Illinois State Bar asso-* ciation, which was doing some< research in connection with the state's Sesquicentennial celebration, has come up with some interesting sidelights on what the laws were like a century ago or more. One law, which was part of the Illinois Revised Statutes in 1868 made it unlawful to bring playing cards into the state, as these were regarded as the work only of the Devil and gamblers. . Also, as the law saw it 100 years ago, there were few legi-\ timate activities on Sunday other than devotional ones. Any "labor or amusement" that would "disturb the good order of Society" on the Sabbath was; forbidden unless it was work "of necessity or charity"* Offenders could be fined up to $5. . The Sunday law recognized, however, that people and cargoes might have to get to the other side of the river. "Watermen" and "ferrymen" were allowed to ply their trades. They could "ladandunlad" merchandise and "carry over the water travelers or persons; moving with their families on the first day of the week". While the Sabbath and anti - * playing cafd laws have been repealed, other, statutes have survived, though in cl form. For example, there" are eleven grounds for divorce today and these include the seven which wer e on the books in 1868. Back then, however, it was more difficult to get a " quiet" divor ce since the law required a jury trial of a divorce case if one spouse objected to the charges being made by the other. Marriage laws also show relatively little change, except the earliest ages at which young people pan marry, with consent of parents, is now 18 for boys and 16 for girls, compared with 17 and 14, respectively, years ago. Also, a marriage license has not always been required. At one time it was enough to announce wedding plans two weeks in advance to the "church or congregation" to which one or both of the parties belonged;« Voting laws are much the same as they were in the horse- , . and-carriage days. It was then, and still is, against the law to vote twice in an election. milk prices * , £>V| Reaching an all-time highfor the Chicago market, a minimum order blend price of $5.12 per hundredweight will be paid dairy farmers for Grade A milk delivered -during October to plants within Zone 1 of the Chicago regional federal milk market order, Pure Milk association has announced. The $5.12 is four cents higher than the September blend price. Zone 1 includes the Illinois and Wisconsin territory within 85 miles of Chicago city hall, plus Milwaukee . county, Wis., and Winnebago County, Illinois. The higher October blend price is due mainly to an increase in utilization of Class I (bottling) milk and a five - cent increase in the Class II (manufacturing) milk price. • \ 19&8 - Ploiridedler - S«s. 2,'ffc 5 " " ^ .
