They are of fine materials and en-

designed for other than young women.
The hat of black lace is made with
brim of fine chantilly edged with

FARM LOAN LAW INVALID.

Caaea,

ooPreme Court Knocks Out Measure
giving State Aid In Individual
Cases.
Denver.-The State Supreme Court
declared invalid all parts of the farm.
ers' loan law which provide for
loaning system. The decision was an.
uounced in the case brought by At.
torney General Farrar In the name of
the people against M. A. Leddy, former
treasurer, 70 compel him to apportion
uninvested school funds for loans to
farmers on unincumbered property as
provided by the law.
The case, which was test one, was
advanced by the Supreme Court upon
Its docket in order that an early de-
cision might be had while the Legis-
lature was in session.
Bills to remedy the constitutional
defects of the loan law are now pend.
ing in both the House and Senate.
The court found that section 46 of
the loan law was in violation of Sec
ton 1, article 9 of the constitution,
which prohibits the state or any coun-
ty or municipality from lending it's
credit to any person, company or
corporation or from becoming respon-
sible for any debt of any person or
corporation.
By the provision of the law in ques-
tion, the county commissioners were
to assess tax upon all assessable
property in their county to meet any
default in payment by farmers of
money loaned them by the state
The court held that the law made
the counties liable for the debts Of
the farmers and was therefore invalid
and that 1t was unconstitutional for
a second reason that the counties had
no right to make up loans of the
school fund because section 3, article
9 of the constitution provides that "the
state shall supply all losses of the
school fund that occur in any manner"
The bills which have been intro
duced in the Legislature are designed
to meet these two defects. The SEN
ate measure is by Senator Barela and
the House measure by Representative
Fincher and Nelson.

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE
Proof That Little Dorothy Had I'm.
bibed the Policies Advocated
by Her Mother.

Dorothy's mother is suffragette of
advanced type. Dorothy is a dear
little girl in primary grade, but
somewhat inclined to copy her elders.
One day her teacher received note
from the secretary of the school
board, but waited until after class to
read 1t. Dorothy returned for some
books and caught tears in the teach
er's eyes (the latter had been denied
an increase in salary upon which she
had based large hopes), and said:
"Why are you crying?"
The teacher, laughed and said. "The
naughty old school board isn't nice
to mel"
Dorothy took hold of the teachers
hand with both hers and said very
seriously. Don't you cry any more.
When we get the vote we women will
correct such things!"-The Sunday
