No Credit Sales Of State School Land.

no Credit sales OF state Schooi Land.
That the law passed by the last
legislature providing that state lands
may be sold on credit is invalid inso-
far as 1t relates to school lands, was
the ruling of Attorney General Ban
croft
The law provides that state lands
may be sold on credit upon an initial
payment of 10 per cent. Of the APP
praised value. the balance TO be paid
at any time within twenty years. 1t
further provides that when the pur-
chaser makes fnal payment he may
claim a discount OF from twenty-five
to Fifty Per cent Of the full value OF
the improvements placed upon the
land.
This latter provision of the law is
held clearly void so far as 1t relates
to school lands in that it diverts a
portion OF the purchase price from the
school fund. in violation of the con-
stitution.
Another aspect Of the law which
makes It void as to school land is that
which provides that whenever any sale
u lands is made the contract shah re-
serve 20 TIE state for public use one
chain on every side Of any stream.
pond or lake. This feature Of the law
is only passed upon in its relation to
the school lands In the present opin-
ion. There is. however. a nice ques-
ton as TO whether the law is not In
valid as to any other state lands.

She was the daughter of an old friend

Land Law Is sais to r,e defective.

Attorney General Bancroft handed
out his opinion to the commissioners
of public lands in which he held that
chapter 452 Of the laws OF 1911 is un-
constitutional in SO far as IT applies
to the sale of public school lands. The
law provides among other things,
that purchasers OF the lands shall be
accredited with the value OF any i'm
proyements that they may make, and
that same shall be deducted from the
purchase price. The opinion holds
that this constitutes n diversion of the

win be issued. the only condition be-

registered physicians in Wisconsin.
and that such physicians agree to

To prevent the spread Of typhoid II
is recommended that where one case

vaccine the authorities of the hygien-

with that end in view are requesting
that suggestions be made by practic-

begins on December l.
The decision OF the director OF the
hygienic laboratory to furnish anti

Rev. Hargreaves, pastor of the

20 books ordered by the Heights Book
club have been here for some time.
An earlier announcement was not
made, since it was hoped that all of
the books would soon be here. How
ever, on account of delay in shipment,
it is now desired that use be made of
those which have arrived at once, and
that the books be taken by those order
ing so that part of the bill may be
settled. The books will be available
at the reading room of the church on
Friday afternoons and evenings.

The initial social of the City Union
of the young people of the Baptist,
Christian, Congregational, Methodist
and United Brethren Churches, held in
the parlors of the Christian Church,
Monday evening, was an unqualified
success. The decorations were appro-
pirate and effective: the talks were
earnest and brie-f-f-f; the music and
readings were excellent; the festivity
continuous and the feed like you look
for in the fall. Miss Clapp was elected
president of the Union, Mrs. Earl
Bartmess first president, Miss
Howard second vice-president, Miss
Hazel Smith, secretary and Mrs.
Schruders treasurer. The next social
and busines meeting was announced at
the United Brethren Church round
about the time the Nation lays aside
its absent mindedness long enough to
be thankful.
