Valley City Boy
Victim of Accident
SON OF DOCTOR MACDONALD HAS
FOOT ALMOST AMPUTATED
BY MOVING MACHINE.
(From FRIDAYS Daily,)

(From FRIDAYS Dailv.)
Moving on bis fathers farm near
Oriska, yesterday afternoon, James
Macdonald, son of DR.. Macdonald of
this city, had his foot almost ampu'
tated by the sickle of the machine.
The accident occurred when Melon
aid stopped the team to adjust the har-
ness on one Of the horses.
In order to reach the horse he was
compelled to stop directly in front of
the sickle, and behind the horse. In
some manner, not yet explained, the
horses started, and before he could
get clear of the machine the sickle
struck him, severing the tendon at the
back of the foot, and entering the
joint between the bones of the foot
and the leg almost severing it.
The young man was "ushed to Val
ley City, and at first it was thought 1t
might be necessary to amputate, but 1t
is now thought that possibly the foot
may be saved. He is being cared for
at the Platou hospital.

AMERICANS LEAVING
ON PRESIDENTS WARNING.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Americans in
Mexico are needing President Wilson's
warning to get out and State Depart
ment officials believe two weeks hence
there will hardly be 1000 left. AL.
though many had refused to consider
leaving before word came of the Pres.
ident's urgent advice, hundreds have
been starting for home or abroad
daily during the last three weeks and
it is estimated that nearly 10000, or
about as many as are still in Mexico
have gotten away.
OF those now preparing to leave
1000 need help from the government
so the 100000 appropriation asked

been in separate bill. 1t attempts
to appropriate money for expenses
other than legislative, executive and
judicial, or for interest on the public

such items are included as tranpOrt-
ing convicts to the reform school and
penitentiary, insane persons to the
hospitals, maintenance of the capitol
building, fuel, etc. All such matters
should have been in a separate bill.
This provision of the constitution was
enacted to prevent miscellaneous rid

Section 81 of the constitution pro-
vides that no bill shall be revised or
amended nor its provisions extended
or incorporated in any other bill by
reference to its title only, but must be
re.enacted and published at length.
This law violates this section as it
attempts to amend laws by referring
to their title only. For instance, the
bill attempts to revise the entire law
governing salaries of state officials by
generally to the title of the law at

The bill also attempts to repeal
many laws of long standing such as
those pertaining to the adjutant gen.

These subjects appear to be tackled
on as riders to the general appropria.

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 29.-Atty
Gen. Andrew Miller has given an opin
ion that chapter 81 of the session laws
of 1918, otherwise known as the state
budget law, is unconstitutional. The
opinion is lengthy one and is an
elaborate discussion of this measure
He finds that it is loosely drawn, con.
trary in several particulars to the
plain provisions of the constitution
and that all of it is unconstitutional
In the first place, section 81 of the
constitution provides that a general
appropriation bill shall provide for
the expenses of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial departments, interest
ON the public debt and for schools.
The present budget bill does not pro-
vide for all of these departments of
state, leaving out such appointive off,
ces as the board of control, tax com.
mission, fire marshal, hail insurance
and the bonding department.
Section 81 of the constitution pro-
vides that no bill shall embrace more
than one subject which must be ex-
pressed in its title. The budget law
violates this provision. Its p incipal
object is to make appropriations but
it also includes repeats of laws having
nothing to do with appropriations.
Section 81 of the constitution pro-
vides the general appropriation bill
shall embrace nothing but appropria-
lions for the expense of the legislative,
executive and judicial departments, in
terest on the public debt, and for
schools. All other appropriations
shall be made by separate bills each
but one subject.
This section is violated by the bud

United States would soon arrive at a

Administration officials expressed
themselves pleased with the days de.
velopments. The president regarded
as hopeful the note sent by Fredico

suggestions by John Lind before leav.
ing Mexico City for Vera Cruz last
Monday.
The full text Of the communications
was received, and while neither side
according to official Interpretation,
yields to any essential points in its
contentious, the methods of approach
ing the difficulties are admittedly
more friendly and framed with more
regard for practical solution. The
officials found encouragement In
Linds decision to return to Mexico
City.
Much interest is manifest in the
suggestion by Lind that all proposals
be laid aside for the present except
that asking Huerta not to be candi-
date in the coming election. It was
learned that while President Wilson
knew the gist Of Lind's second pro-
posals, he was not acquainted until
today with the text of the communica-
ton in which he promised that, II his
last suggestions were accepted, assur.

fore is unnecessary, was scrutinized
closely and some officials pointed out
that no guarantee existed that Huerta
would not resign some time prior to
the election and thereby make himself
eligible.
It was suggested that acceptance of
the citation Of the Mexican constitu-

Flowing as An Exercise

Oregonian: Flowing is suggested
as substitute for football at our
colleges. Why not? Football is up-
held as developing the physique. but
so does plowing. What more calcu-
lated to harm the muscles of back.
arms and legs than to follow the
plow, pressing down on the handles,
guiding the team and stepping over
the heavy clods? Football is good
outdoor exercise, but so is blowing
Football develops certain mental fac
ulties, but so does plowing. Skill is
required to run a deep, straight fur
row, just as skill is required to make
an end-run, to block interference and
to kick goal
Flowing has the further recon-
mendation that it is useful, produc-
tive OF exercise. One husky member
OF an athletic club could probably
pIow, harrow and plant with potatoes
whole acre with half the expendi-
ture of energy that goes into a prac-
tice game. Were each of the hun-
dreds of members of the club to cul-
tivate and harvest an equal area of
land, he would be equally rich in
health and strength, he would be
richer in pocket and the whole COM
munity would be benefited by the in
crease in farm production.
The lesson taught by the great
Nasby in Eastern Fruit on Western
Dishes" is worthy of study. One of
his characters, Koab, inherits a for
tune, and, deaf to advice. souanders
1t in riotous living. He is found bv
one OF his relatives rolling barrels in
front OF a grocery. The relative

replies that, money being gone and
health gone, he might have consulted
a physician, who would have recon-
mended exercise and plain food. Had
ne taken the exercise at a gymnas-
ium' he would have been obliged to
pay. He was now being paid for
taking equally healthy exercise, and
the smallness of his wages forbade
indulgence in any but plain food.
We do not recommend the entire
abandonment of football in favor of
plowing, but we do recommend that
those who feel the need of physical
exercise and cannot afford to pay for
1t as sport should adopt it as a
means Of earning livelihood. They
VIII then strengthen both body and
mind and fatten their pocketbooks at
the same time.
