The law as passed provides: 1. All persons operating unincorporated busi- ness or professions under any name but their own zroper or known called namés, must register this “fictitious” trade name with the cerk of the circuit court in the county where the principal place of busi- ness is located. 2.-Afee of $1.00 is charged fer this registra- WHO LIVES ON THE PLANET, MARS?

Furthermore, the names of all persons in- terested, and the extent te which they are interested mist be registeréd as well. 4. Penaity fer non-compliance denies any un- registered business and those interested in doing such business the right to defend or maintain suit in any court in this state, either as plaintiff er defendant, and it further provides that any violating this law regarding registretion is liable to having an in- formation charging a misdemeanor filed against him by any person aggrieved by the fictitious name. and on conviction of such charge shall be liable to a fine of $25.00 or 60 days in jail, or both. 5. Before registration can be matic, such im- tention to register must be advertised at least once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks in a newspaper as defined by law in the county where the registra- tion is made. This law applies to Apattmetis, Hotels, Filling Stations, Cabin Courts, or business of any kind ex- cept such as are operated under the name of the owner.

At this stage of man’s knowledge, we know very little about the universe. We should-not concern ourselves over-much with the possible existence of human be- ings on the planets.
