SAYS STATE LOANS ILLEGAL
Special Elections Required Before
Counties May Borrow Funds,
Rules Attorney General.

Madison. - Notwithstanding the
fact that the state has loaned to
counties some 100000 upon appli-
cations by county boards, authorized
by a three-fourths vote of such
boards, the attorney general now
holds, in an opinion by Asst Atty.
Gen. w. w. Gilman, that the making
of such loans from the trust funds is
not legal, inasmuch as in no instance
was the question of making applica-
ton by the county board submitted
to vote of the people of the county.
The question arose out of the APP
plication of Jefferson county for a
loan of $4,000. The opinion, hold
ing that the matter must first be
submitted to a vote of the people of
that county, practically precludes
the making of the loan, for with the
calling of a special election on the
question nothing would be gained
from the low rate of interest exacted
by the state.

CLOCKS AFFECTED BY COLD
Change i'm Weather Causes Oil IN
Bearings to Get Dummy and
Hard.

Two or three times in the course
of a month this mans clock had
stopped with no apparent reason, for
when he swung the pendulum it
would start off again and run all
right But it also now began to dis
play another eccentricity; occasional
ly it would strike once about Is min
utes before the hour and then strike
the rest of the strokes for that hour
at the regular time. So he thought
he had better take it to the clock
maker.
There on a shelf behind the counter
he saw ranged along dozen or more
clocks of almost as many styles.
''All PATIENTS" said the clockmaker,
stand most of them with slight all
ments like yours. We always have
many clocks brought in with colds.
They run along all right, but when
nasty weather comes the oil on the
bearings gets hard and gummy and
then the clock is liable to stop. It
needs cleaning and reoiling.
1T is always so; we have more
clocks brought in to US when the
Gather is bad than at any other sea.
