Expense Money Returned.

F. Morton, C. M. Buford and Lee
WEIGH, chairmen of four investigating
committees appointed by the senate at
the last session of the legislature,
have held a meeting and decided to
turn back into the state treasury the
$17,5O0 which had been appropriated
for the use of the committees.
In a letter to State Treasurer Deal
the senator's said they returned the
money because complications as to
the school fund and possible deicien-
cy in other funds Of the state made it
apparent that the money might be
used to better advantage for other
and more immediate needs, rather
than for committee investigation pur-
poses.
The committees were appointed to
investigate as to the feasibility of
the state going into the fire insurance
business, to supervise the furnishing
Of the new capitol, to revise and pre-
pare laws for conserving the health
of school children, and to investigate
the wages of women and children.
In returning the money to the treas
ury, the committee chairmen say they
will use their own in car
rying out the work assigned to them.
Whatever money the committee
men may spend out of their own peck
cts can be restored to them through
relief bills at the next session Of the
legislature.

plan. 1t is said that it is planned to
remove DR.. R. G. Thompson as super

Sioux Falls. March 15.-Among
the latest equipment Installed at the
building of the South Dakota Chill
dren's Home society is a diet kitchen,
according TO reports of the work
there made by Supt. A. ID. Stucke-
man in the last number of the Chill
dren's Friend. the official publication
of the society. The report says in
part:
Every year the special needs OF
the home receive more than passing
attention OF the Orowoc club of Sioux
Falls. This time we needed a diet
kitchen for our nursery and some
equipments. We were loathe to take
from our general fund all this ex-
penditure would call for. The Oro-
woe club of ladies were ready to fur
nish such equipment as a ~pasteurizer,
special scale and refrigerator.
I'VE have passed the 1900 mark.
Our register now shows 2,013 chill

but one answer to the question as TO
why this is true, and that is that the
country still has the hogs"
Dealers view the situation in this
light and say that where the run OF
top grade stock continues throughout
the spring it means that there is
plenty of both hogs and feed.
Dealers in Sioux City say there is
practically an unlimited number of
hogs in this section of Iowa, South
Dakota and Nebraska that are ready
for marketing.
Pneumonia in hogs throughout the
northwest is becoming a danger that
must be reckoned with by farmers
and veterinarians in this section, ac-
cording to DR.. G.. A. Johnson. for ten
years at the head of the bureau OF
animal industry at the Sioux City
stock yards.
The cause for the disease is said
by DR.. johnson to be chiefly the
weather conditions, the heavy snow
fall not allowing pigs to roam about
out OF doors as they should. When
they get out they are obliged to re-
turn very often to pens which are not
properly fitted for them, with a Sc
we're cold as the result, he asserted.

Smith Automobile Company

All automobile advertising today is a striking testimonial
that Henry Ford was right years ago when he built the first
light car. Automobile manufacturers see what Henry Ford
saw long since-that the light car is the car best adapted to
meet all conditions.
You can hardly read an ad today that doesn't make you
smile and say: There's another proof that Henry Ford has
been right all along"
You pick up a current magazine you thumb its pages.
You glance through the automobile advertising. Manufacture
ers that formerly advertised the advantages of heavy cars
have bout faced and are now singing the song of the merit
of ightness.
And it all proves that it has taken other manufacturers
ten years or more to see what Henry Ford saw during the
infancy of the automobile industry.
The Ford today is recognized as the standard light car the
world over. And it is the standard light car because Henry
Ford had the correct vision years before the others.
Call at our garage and let us show and demonstrate the
Ford to you.

after MANY YEARS
MOTHER OF NINE CHILDREN is
MARRIED ON HER DEATH
BED.

Salisbury, N. c., March ia
most extraordinary deathbed mar
riage was solemnized-that is the
word-at WoodIeaf, N. c.. Usually
such marriages take place when m
or other of a young and loving pair,
who have plighted their troth. is
about TO pass into the unknown.
After such a marriage the one left
feels a firmer, IL invisible, bond to
the one who has departed.
Just before she breathed her last
Miss Lucy Litiker was married to A.
C.. Gibbons. Yet in the eyes of the
world they had been man and wife
for twenty years. Dwelling together
happily. nine children had blessed
them.
But knowing she had only a short
time to live, Mrs. Gibbons yearned to
free her soul of its stain, to clear her
conscience and, at least. to legitima-
tie her children. Gibbons, weeping
and remorseful, instantly complied
with her request.
Gibbons and Miss Litiker were
sweethearts twenty years ago; he
was 25 then, she a pretty girl OF 10.
They "eloped" to South Carolina.
where in those day, it was not neces-
sary to take out a marriage license.
Returning, Gibbons and his wife"
told their relatives and friends they
had peer married in strict accordance
with South Carolina law. Everybody
believed them, everybody received
them, for the girl was regarded as a
model of propriety, the young man
was industrious and self contained.
They lived well, and as the years
passed educated their children and
brought them up to be religious.
Nevertheless Mrs. Gibbons-to call
her by the name she longed to bear
rightfully-had been in falling health
for some months. 1t became plain
that she had tuberculosis of the lungs
and soon that she was doomed. AS
the disease progressed the thought oil
her false marriage preyed upon her
mind more and more. gnawed her
conscience.
Finally she could conceal the Sc
cret no longer, and, calling her
closest friend, whispered TO her:
