An auto is the one best bet, if you're en-

you're mortgaging your home, that you in

can earn, your auto is a Jonah cart, and
some day it will break your heart. An

O"VERSTEPPED BOUNDS
LEGISLATURE HAD NO RIGHT TO
APPROPRIATE MONEY TO
BOOST FAIR BUILDING.

Pierre, Dec. 22.-The attorney
general has ruled that the act passed
by the 1917 legislature appropriating
S2,033.66 for buttons which were
purchased to finance a South Dakota
building at the Panama exposition is
unconstitutional.
The situation is that a commission,
appointed by the governor in 1915 to
find ways and means of having a
South Dakota building at the fair.
purchased these buttons on their
own responsibility and expected that
the sale of them would finance the
building. Unfortunately, the but
tons did not sell very well-however
the commission last winter came tC
the legislature for an appropriation
to pay for the buttons, and the leg
islature passed the act providing

Now ii is held unconstitutional be.
cause the state can in no way be held
liable for a debt incurred by individ.
uals, even though acting in good
faith as in this case, when there is
no statute in existence authorizing
the expenditure OF such money. II
is likely, therefore, that the mem
bers OF the commission will have tc
be liable themselves for the pur.
chase price of the buttons.

The Moth" AS a girl she has the
most expensive and best, and after
she has married a nan who Is in love
with another woman, she finds that
happiness does not lie In that life.
Her children are not acquainted with

sery. Her husband, in an attempt to
compel her to divide her fortune with
him, involves her In a compromising
position with an Englishman. But
she brings a defensive action against

shot BY MILK CAN
WOMAN Is VICTIM OF UNUSUAL
ACCIDENT.

Hooker, Dec. 22.-Mrs. Claude
Lounsbery. wife of a farmer living
near Hooker, got shot by a cream
can, and the strange thing about 1T
is that she was badly hurt. The
woman had filled the can with water
at the home of a neighbor and car
ried 1t to her home through a tenn
perature much below zero. She
placed the can on the porch, after
lifting the cover slightly. The water
froze, causing the can to bulge, and
later, when Mrs. Lounsbery went to
get a drink and started to remove
the cover, the expansion of the froz-
en- water caused the cover to fly off
with a loud report and great force.
The cover struck Mrs. Lounsbery in
the face with such force that her low
er lip was gashed badly. one of her
upper front teeth was broken and an
other tooth was driven clear out of
sight in the gum. She is now under
the care of a physician.
