DIVISION OF MARKETS
APPROPRIATION IS SAFE
Mtorncy-Gcncrai Rules That $1,000
Per Annum May BE Paid Out
of General Treasury.
CARRIES our INTENT OF LAW
Answers Question of Auditor Moore
as to Proper Construction of Act
aud Fund to Which Expenses OF
bureau Are To Bc Charged.

S.tting at rest a fear among officials
OF the state Department of Ayriculture
that the Division OF Markets. just
getting down to work. would 70 out
OF existence for lack of funds. Attor-
ncy-Gencral John Garland Pollard yes
terdav held that The Representation of
$1,000 Il year. provided hy statute. for
the maintenance of the division. is pay
able out of tho general fund in the
state treasury, and not out ot money
collected by tho state Department OF
Agriculture" and Immigration.
rh" question was raised by Auditor
G. Lee Moore. who called Mr.. pollards
attention To the fact that paragraph !
of the act creating tn. division and
making the appropriation is not Spc-
cic as to which fund shall be drawn
upon in dcfraying the expenses Of the
newly created division. Mr.. Moore
showed. further. that the title Of the
preparation. which the Auditor thought
might bc in contravcntou OF the con
stitutional requirement.
PROVIDES $1,000 EOI
EACH FISCAL. YEAR
Mr.. Pollard held that the first SEN
tcnce Of the paragraph in question
clearly and specifically apprentices for
tn" use OF the division the sum of s.. 900
, Tor each fiscal year. aud that the Leg
iSlature plainly intended that this
money should be paid out OF the gem
"rnl fund in tho treasury. The second
sentence. though not equally as clear
as the first. simply provided the method
10y which the money must be paid
AS 10 tn" absence" OF a reference To
tn" appropriation in the title. Mr. Pol
lard quotes from Il decision by thu,
Supreme Court Of appeals to show that
IA" title To an act authorizing many
things Of u diverse nature must be
h"ld sufficient If those things may b.
iairlN regarded as in furthcrarcc of
tn" one object embraced in TIA. title
tn" question raised 10y tn" Auditor
caused no little unrest in tn" minds %,
department officials. Had the Atior-
ncN General held that warrants for do
!rayinE the expenses OF the division
were payable exclusively out Of the
Z special fund 10 the credit nf tho De
pattmeht OF Horticulture. it would have
meant the discSta blishmcut OF the nj.

BY JANE whitaker

Inc possession OF a DaQh ACCOUNT
is frequently the cause of such do
nestle strife between husband and
wife that they grow to dislike each
other in their squabbling over the
money.
1.-The law does not require that
man shall give his wife money; many
men who are excellent husbands do
not give their wives money; the law
requires only that a husband shall
support his wife.
Men and women marry without
any idea of federation. A woman
owes as much to the marriage con-
tract as man does; she should feel
an equal responsibility. The man
who supports his wife has a right to
expert that she will fulfill her Obliga-
lions to him.
mo woman should continue to live,
with an abusive man, nor with man
who has become repugnant to her.
Upon that we all agree. But the
question upon which many Of us dis
agree is whether a man should have
" 6upDOlI d WIG "uC4 O44C OCNANCo
he is repugnant to her and leaves
him.
1.-TWO families, wife and mother
in-law, cannot live cOntentedly under
one roof except in rare cases. A
wife's place, however, is in the home
her husband provides for her and it
is her duty to try to make that home
a happy one.
''The court of domestic relations is
not an adjuster of marital differ
ences; it is a criminal court where
under the law a man found guilty
of abandonment of his wife or Of
non-support may be sentenced to the
BTidewel."
That is a little of the philosophy
of Judge Hosea Wells, who now pre-
sides over the court Of domestic rela-
lions, and whether you entirely agree

his conclusions.
Already can predict for you that
Judge Wells will not be popular with
the ladies who patronize the court of
domestic revelations" as it has
been called, and, already, by the
grapevine route of dissatisfied do
mesticity, the news has travelled that
the new judge of the court isn't so
easy with women" One wife who
had expected to have a motion come
before the court to have her allow
ance increased because her husband
is earning more money decided she
would not take a chance after she
had spent a morning listening to the
decisions of the judge. Another girl
wife, seeking pointers with the idea
that she wouldn't put up with Frank
much longer" decided she would
wait while before she started any
action.
Those who have watched the
court closely have been a little
afraid that it might become a Wea-
pom of harm in that women would
not feel is necessary to use any toll
erance nor attempt to keep up the
~contentment of home life in their
knowledge that it is easy to make a
man support wife by taking him
into court. The law is a splendid
one to punish worthless husbands
and compel them to discharge the
obligations they assumed when they
married; it is dangerous if it becomes
merely a support wedge to render
easy the breaking up of a home.
The homely philosophy of the pres
ent presiding judge found its express
sion yesterday in two of the typical
cases that come into the court.

.KOLB AND DILL WILL
 ENTERTAIN IN SHOW
Comedians of High Casts to Appear in "A Million For
 Mary" at the Orpheum.

Written around Louie and Mike, the celebrated comedy characters created
 by the well known stage stars, Kolb and Dill, "A Million for Mary" which , appears today and Sunday at the Or pheum theater, is a fascinating combi-
 nation of beautiful pathos and hila- rious comedy made possible by the
 wide versatility of these two clever comedians. The plot of the story is founded upon the love of Louie and Mike Tor a sweet little child who grows up to beautiful girlhood under their watchful eyes and unconsciously causes them to bend every effort to- ward accommodating a million dollars so that she will be provided for in propor- tion to the value which they have placed upon her.
 As partners in the drug business they see wonderful money making pos abilities in patent medicines and their activities in the promotion of a mar vicious pill of their own invention is the basis for a series of comedy situa- tions giving the clever comedians, Kolb and bills, numerous opportuni- ties to call forth the side-splitting laughs for which they are justly fla nous. Elaborate staging and unusual ly numerous scenes are made possible throughout this exceptional production by trip to the realms above made by Louie and Mike in a dream. in which they are provided with wings and have experiences offering them a wide range for the creation of the spontaneous and brilliant comedy which makes "A Million for Mary" one of the seasons most successful fea- lures.
