AD COLUMNS
ARE PUT To
BIG TESTS
Times Makes Good on Coal
Proposition Now to Find
a Lady Who Will Make
Good, Honest Man" a
Loving Wife.

The value of THE TINES as an ad-
vertising medium is being put to the
strongest tests these days. The other
day man came into the office and
said he wanted to sell 1000 tons of
coal in one day. THR TIMES undertook
the job and the pile of coal dwindled
like a snowbank would under a blaz-
ing July sun. The coal was sold in
twenty -four hours.
But today THE TIMES has been put
up against still harder proposition.
1t is faced with the necessity of finding
a wife for good honest man"

that matrimony is a lottery anyway.
decided to go over the great Calumet
district with fine tooth comb and see
if he could not find an affinity
The combing process cost him just
10 cents in THE TIMES and so he in
serted the following ad:
Wants Christian Lady.
"A good honest man wishes to cor
respond with Christian lady. unincum-
bered 3S to As. ". w. Honest, Gener-
al Delivery. Elgin, H."
OF course, it seems ridiculous that
a good honest man could find a
Christian wife for 10 cents. but that
is one of the possibilities of THE
TINES advertising columns.
Who can tell there may be large
number of Christian ladies in the cit
les of Hammond, Whiting. East Chica-
go. Indiana Harbor and Gary who are
just pining away for a good honest
man.
The honest man is wise. He realizes
that to some lonely widow or some
hopeless old maid he may be a long
felt want. He feels as though some
how he is destined to fill aching void.
So he appealed to THE TINES for as
sistance. It's wonderful circulation in
half a dozen cities, the diverse nature
Of the population it serves, the fact
that it is read in the farming districts
to the south and the manufacturing
districts in the north made it the ideal
medium.
Tonight thousands of people all over
Lake county win be discussing W. W.

are that when the rest of the family

LEGISLATIVE
GRIND OF BILLS
and Leases May be Limited Bond
Issues Into Millions

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 24.-Had sen.
ate bill No. 80 been up for final pas
sage in the senate today instead of
before committee of the whole, which
considered it, it would have been
passed, precluding any possibility of
the land board granting to G. w.
thompson of Lewiston a lease on
5000 acres of mineral land in Sho-
shone county for so years.
Amendments introduced by the ju-
dietary committee and accepted by
almost unanimous vote, in effect
provide that the land board shall at
no time lease mineral lands of the
state for a period longer than IL
years and lease can not be entered
into until after the mine inspector
shall have made full and complete
examination of the land leased and
report his findings to the board.
The discussion took up most of the
morning session. Senator Won Har-
ten said he knew of one instance
where the state land board was to
lease tract of 1000 acres of alleged
mineral lands in northern Idaho and
the mine inspector or selector made
formal inspection of the land inside
of ten days. Won Harten declared
a crow could not have flown over the
tract in the time in which it was in
spected.
Macbeth declared that by the pas
sage of the bill the state would be
prevented from bartering away its
birthright for a mess of pottage.
The constitutionality OF certain Sec
tons was raised and Sweeley claimed
that If there was any unconstitution-
atty 1t was the act of congress in its
grants of government lands to the
state
Thompson May be Thwarted.
The minority, in securing the COM
mittee's recommendation for the ad-
dition of an emergency clause. turned
neat trick, to the effect of which
the majority, the democrats believe,
were given little consideration.
With this provision added, if the
bill is passed, Governor Brady will
have to sign it within five days after
it passes both houses. The governor
has delayed action on the proposed
Thompson lease until March Is. If
the bill is passed within five days of
that date and if it carries an emer-
gency clause it would prevent the
granting of the Thompson lease.
Woman Argues Before Senate.
At the afternoon session the SEN
ate heard argument from Mrs. Green
of Mountain Home, attorney for the

on the community property and sep
arate maintenance bills.
