NEW COURT is o. X.
Supreme Court UphoIds the Crawfort
County Tribunal.

The supreme court in a decision
handed down today held that the act Of
the legislature creating a judicial dis
trict in Crawford county thus dividing
the old Sixth district was valid
The case was brought to the court on
an original mandamus proceeding by
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railway
company against Walter L. Simons,
judge In the old Sixth district, to COM
pei him to take Jurisdiction of a case
In Crawford county which had beer
made the Thirty-eighth judicial district.
The railroad company charged that the
act creating the new district was In
valid because the legislature did not
fully comply with the constitutional re-
quirements in its passage. The act was
challenged because of an entry in the
journal of the house of representa- tfves
tended to show that a constitutional ma
jority OF the members of that house did
not vote for the act. A later entry
showed that a constitutional majority
did vote for the act and that 1t pass
ed. The opinion was written bv Chief
Justice Johnston.
Judge Arthur Fuller was appointed
judge of the new district and has since
acted In that capacity. disposing of a
large volume of business and rendering
judgments in a great many cases both
civil and criminal. This suit of the M
X. g. T. practically proposed to GUST
him from office but the supreme court
holds that his court was regularly crea-
ted and that his tenure OF office is Sc
cure.

Whom Wages We're Low.

Columbus" said an antiquary OF
Chicago, got a salary of 1920 a year
less than a dollar a day. His captains
got $3.50 a year apiece. His crew got
$2.25 a month. To equip the expedition
that discovered America cost 81. 800. The
total cost of discovering America was
81, 200.
Lawyers nowadays, especially cor
poration lawyers. think nothing Of
earning million a year. In the reign
of Edward " a baronet entered In his
diurnal or diary; Paid to Roger F'yi-
pott, learned In the law, for his counsel,
8 shillings, with pence for his dinner
ministers often make today $40, 900
or $4,000 a year. The late DR.. Talmage
made $50, 900. Yet John Knox got only
1920 a year, or "a a week. and that was
a dollar more a week than Scottish
judges got =
Small salaries. those" concluded the
antiquary; but we must remember
that in that epoch there were no trusts
to initiate prices, and a dollar went a
long way. In fact, a Christmas dinner
for a family of six would have cost. in
John Knox's time-for the turkey, 10
cents; cranberry sauce, cents; pota-
toes, 1 cent; turnips. 1 cent: celery, 1
cent; plum pudding, cents-totaI. II

looking at her whether it is summer or

pompadour, she covers with a heavy
fur hat or cap, a pound or so OF feath-
ers and flowers and a lot of little false
curls. over all these she sometimes
ties a long, thick automobile veil
What for?
Her poor little ankles, however, are
left completely out in the cold. she
wears her skirts quite as short as she
dares, her shoes as low as her dancing
pumps, and between these two points
there is a stretch of bare skin showing
through very openwork stockings.
About her neck she wraps several
wards of lined and wadded fur; but
her arms from her wrists to her ell
bows are bare save for a thin covering
of suede kid gloves. From her waist
line up she is usually incased IN the
highest and warmest of fur jackets,

weight, much -pleated skirt, which APP

muff, large enough for Gulliver's
hands, but the soles of her shoes are of

The burning question is, When she IS
comfortable about the feet and skirts,
how does she feel with all that blank

There seemed no realm of literature she

that her brain could never relax its act

LETTER TO A. A. FLETCHER.
MIDDLEBCRY, VT.

Dear Sir: No man it in a position to
influence men with regard to their pro-
perty more than you in that little room
where they tell you their troubles. Pity,
if you don't know how to keep house
dry and sound, any sort of structure,
house store factory warehouse shop barn
fence-any sort of fence, except rail;
with paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money, and
putting it on costs twice as much as the
paint.
That is short; but that's all; it includes
the rest. One paint wears long, another
wears short: Tut the one that wears long
is the least-gallons paint; least gallons
means pure and strong. ard most gallons
means adulterated and weak. besides
small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests in
the United States; not the business of
making it, no, the business of paint
taking care of property. Paint is worth
great deal more than it costs and the
best costs least Devoe.
Yours truly
