Alumna Says Women
Are Sold for Cattle
Normal School Budget)

Miss Edith Conn, member of the
class of 1905 at the State Normal
school, who for several years has
been an instructor in the Adams Mis-
sion station in Natal, South Africa,
and whose letter to Miss Perrine,
written zone day out of Singapore,
mentioned some time ago, was arriv-
ed safely in this country and at pres
ent is the guest Of friends in Fargo.
Early this week Miss Conn was the
speaker at the chapel exercises at
Fargo college, where she furthered
her education after leaving the Nor
NAL school here. The following re-
port of her address was given in the
Fargo Courier News:
"The women in South Africa are
most unhappy" said Miss Edith Conn.
''They are unhappy before marriage
because Of fear and distaste for be-
ing sold to become the third, fourth
or fifth wife of some very old man,
and they are unhappy later because
Of the brutal treatment they receive.
"Catt,e are the most valuable of
any of the possessions of the native
South African. Girls are readily
sold by their fathers in exchange for
cattle, one girl sometimes bringing
as many as ten head of cattle.
"The schools which have been estab-
lished are absolutely the only chance
given a girl to escape from the mar
row and unusually evil surroundings
of her life.
"And in our school at Adams Mis-
sion we have every year to turn away
from 20 to 100 girls"
Miss Conn explained that the peo-
pie really desire an education and
are greatly disappointed at being re-
fused admittance into the school. AS
the girl or man completes the course
in the school they are sent out to
teach the people of the country.
''In Africa we measure distance by
the time it takes to arrive at any Civ
en- destination. So I say we often
send teachers weeks journey by
rail and from five to eight days jour-
ney after that by pack. l don't know
the exact distances but they go so
far inland that they are usually un-
able to return for four or five years.
When they do come back they are
always enthusiastic and anxious to
take back with them other teachers
to help them in the work.
"We are greatly in need of preach
ers, teachers and doctors in Africa"
said Miss Conn in closing her talk.

Supreme Court Judges
to Get $500 Expenses

Bismarck, jan 24.-Demands of the
members Of the supreme court for the
payment of $500 expense money an
nually, made on State Auditor Carl
Il. Kositzky in mandamus proceedings
instituted by Attorney General Will
liam LANCER. were allowed in an op;n-
ion handed down this morning by the
special court which heard the argu-
ments in the case late in November.
The opinion is written, by Judge Chas.
NJ. Cooley of Grand Forks and is sign
cd by Judges A. T. Cole of Fargo, J.
a. Coffey of Jamestown and W. E.
Nuessle of Bismarck.
The decision of the court establishes
the constitutionality OF the act of leg
islature in appropriating a lump sum
for expenses for state official or de.
partment without requiring the filling
of an itemiZed expense statement. 1t
further holds that the mere presence
OF, and participation by, member Of
the supreme court, where his pres
ence is not necessary to constitute a
quorum. in a case in which he may be
qualified on account of his interest in
the result, does not render the pro
ceedings and judgement of tns court
in that case void.
"Tne section of the statute prcvjd
ing for $500 salary for :he supreme
court judges for expenses to he pa:G
in quarterly payments" The opinion
reads, without the filing of au item.
lied statement is not, if interpreted
as providing an additional compensa
ton for the services of the judges o.
such court, so far as the judges nov
| IN office are concerned. unconstitu
ticnal, as being in violation Of Sector
SO OF the state constitution providing
that the compensation for the service
Of judge of the supreme court cal
not be increased or diminished dur
ing the term for which he shall have
been elected"
The court further holds that if in
terpreted as providing for the paymen
of expenses rather than for "serv
ices,' the section providing for the ex
pense money is not in violation of tn
section of the constitution which pro
vides that the compensation for tn,
services of judge of the supreme
court shall not be increased or dimin
lshed during his term of Office; nor o
Section 1856 of the constitution whicl
provides that no bills. claims, &C
counts, or demands against the stat
shall be audited, allowed or paid I'm
till a full itemized statement shall
hive been filed with the officer or off
GERS whose duty it may be to audi
the claim.

PRIMARY
ELECTION
TOMORROW

You may not have noticed the ex'
citement that generally accompanies
such events. In fact there seems to
be mighty little excitement going on.
Coming right down to brass tacks,
there is not great deal to be excit-
ed about. However. it is a fact that
Chickasha is going to hold a primary
election tomorrow. At said primary
four candidates for alderman will be
named, one from each ward Of the
city.
The campaign that they have been
making is not of the usual cigar do.
mating variety, nor yet of the conf
Dental conversation or button hole
species. Grip nuts. Or in other
words. there's a reason To-wit:
these four candidates have no oppo-
sitions They are 7. S. Hendrick,
ward l;gJ. c. Neal, ward 2; Jake Lo'
rentsen, ward 81; Y. w. Darnell, ward
4.
The only contest of the election is
as TO whether or not the city fathers
win be permitted to- sell the city
property at the corner of Fifth street
and Choctaw avenue. AS explained
by Mayor Coffman the city officials
desire to sell this property and buy
more commodious tract that will
be better suited to the needs of the
city street department equipment,

LIONS CLUB
MEET WITH
FAIR HEAD
Grady County Free Fair Discussed at
Session; Smith Offers 10 Resign;
Wait Ten Days

The directors Of the Free Fair as
sociation met on Saturday afternoon
at the office of the Retail Merchants
association, with three members of
the Lions club, Orin Ashton, e. c.
Burton and j. w. Conner, present.
The purpose of the meeting was to
finally decide whether a fair would
be held this year
The idea Of eliminating the free
fair was discussed, and it was pro-
posed to form a company to erect
buildings, race-track. etc, and to
charge admission to the fair. 1t was
shown however, that such action
would render illegal the securing Of
funds from the county by taxation.
This proposition was voted down.
w. E. Smith rendered his resigna.
tion as president of the Free Fair
association, giving as his reason that
no definite arrangements had been
made by the people of Chickasha in
regard to fair grounds. However,
he agreed to wait another ten days
for a final report. He recommended
o Coffman for president and W. w.
Clark for secretary.
The plan as 1t stands at this time
IS that a company will be organized
to buy grounds and erect the neces-
sary buildings. This company Is to
have full charge OF CONCESSIONS and
amusements. The Free Fair associa-
tion to be furnished exhibition build.
ings free, and the Fair association
and all its officers to work entirely
independent of the company. This
is the plan practically all of the
county fairs in the state are using;
and this plan is satisfactory to all
concerned as exprdsska at the meet
ing. This will add something like
$1,000 to the premiums at the fair.
The question of keeping o. G. Cooper
as county agent until after the fairs
was also brought up, and unless ar
range are mads Mr. Smith will not
serve as president, he stated.
The following members of the Fair
association attended the meeting:
w. E. Smith, president; ]. r. Burle-
son, Rush Springs; Linus Ferguson,
Minco; Kit Farwell, Ninnekah; J. w.
Kayser, Chickasha; Arthur Ersland,
secretary; Geo. Hurley, Guy Buser
and Homer Naudain, department su-
perintendents, and ]. R. Cast, Rush
Springs.
