Will Give Hog for Wife

Mountain Home, Ark.-George Boden-
hainer, wldower, and one of the largest
hog buyers, raisers and shippers in Bax-
ter county. made an advertising contract
with local newspaper in which he agreed
to give the editor prime fat, 200-pound
hog next fall, if. through the advertising
columns OF the paper the editor secured
fo- him wife by that time. The editor,
believing in the pulling powers of his adj
vertising columns, accepted the offer on
the spot.
Mr.. Bodenhamer's specifications are very
liberal The requirements are that the
wife must be under 40, healthy, a good
cook and housekeeper with sentiment
tai and lovable disposition. He will not
object to little temper, but does not and
will not have a spitfire, or one who has
a nagging disposition. What he wants
is a good woman who will make pleas
ant and congenial home. If she has
a little money to put into the hog bust
ness it will be acceptable. but it is not
necessary.
Mr.. Bodenhamer owns a good 160-acre
farm near this place that Is well stocked
with hogs. He also has cows, horses,
etc. He has seven children the Oldest
II years and the youngest years.
On his side he agrees to keep plenty
of rump steak and other provisions in the
pantry and to maintain the home He
is not prejudiced against widows He 10
not bad looking, is 40 ycdrs old, healthy,
sober and a man of good morals and
repute ton. He gives as his reason for
advertising for wife that he is too busy
to run around the country looking one
UP and going through prolonged court
ship. He is using advertising space az
a short cut.

All things considered, that part of the
opinion written by Justice Scott as
serts, the fact remains that Thaw Is
now in this state and there is valid
commitment against him for his re-
straint as person of unsound mind
The opinion concluded as follows:
ut may be that the state would be
well rid of so troublesome a guest. and
that In view of his acquittal it Is to be
regretted that having once left it he was
brought back, but that is not matter
for judicial consideration. All that we
have to consider is his right to be dis
charged from the lawful, outstanding
commitment to Matteawan, and it seems
to me clear that he had no such right.
Certainly, If we were to release him
from the restraining effect of the com
mltment, we have no power to compel
his deportation, but must release him
Internationally, leaving it to him to
determine whether he will go or stay
