OPINION.

Pierre, May 20.--That county com
missioners have not the right to Sc.
lect one of their members to super.
wise. highways in this state at special
COMPENSATION for such service, Is the
holding OF the state legal department
on inquiry as to apparently conflict
ing provisions in different highway
acts of the last legislative session.
An amendment to the old law gives
to county commissioners the right to
employ n of their own members to
supervise county highway construc-
ton at not to exceed SIS a day and
expenses.
The new highway law, passed and
signed later, places the supervision OF
county highway work under a county
supervisor OF highways. to be selected
by the county commissioners. 1t Is
held that a divided supervision would
be against the best interests, and
that the provisions are so conflicting
as to nullify the intent Of the law,
and that the latest enactment gov
ems, and all the supervisory work IL
under the county supervisor Of high
ways, and not under that OF a mem
Der Of the board selected for that
purpose.
1t is also held that under the parti.
ton fence law the owner of land
which adjoins leased state land can.
not compel the lease holder to join
in the expense Of a partition fence

CONSTANCE TALMAGE
NO MORE ROMANCE FOR RO-
MANTIC ARABELLA.

Romance and Arabella," the new
Select picture, in which Lewis j.
Selznick presents Constance Tai
madge, will be seen tonight at the
Lyric theater.
Romance and Arabella marks the
seventh time that the winning COM
bination OF Constance Talmadge, Har-
rison Ford, her leading man, and
Walter Edwards, her director, has
worked together. The combination
dates back to the days Of Good
Night, PAUL" and ran through such
succeeding triumphs as "a Pair OF
Silk Stockings" Sauce for the
Goose" Mrs Leffingwell's Boots
"A Lady's Name" and Miss Tai
madge's more recent Select picture,
who Cares?"
Romance and Arabella," the lat
est Select Constance Talmadge COM
edy, which these three happy CO
workers have concocted, is from the
pen OF william Hurlbut, whose play
of the same name was a great sue
cess on Broadway.
This picture has five separate love
stories, although the heroine is the
same in each one. 1t is the tale OF
a young widow who decides that her
second husband must supply her with
thrills and romance. After a few
weeks of romantic men she decides
that after all her first and prosaic
sweetheart is the right man. No
more romance for romantic Arabella.

1t has been quite evident for some
years that Trinity Lutheran congre-
CATION needed a new and larger house
OF worship. Its membership has
doubled the last three years, and IL
now one of the largest congregations
in Madison. A new church has been
discussed for some time and over a
year ago 1t was decided to build as
soon as the war was over.
Shortly after the new pastor, Rev.
C. X. Solberg, had taken charge. a
well attended business meeting was
held and 1t was unanimously voted
to build as soon as possible. A most
encouraging enthusiasm and interest
was manifested on the part OF all
members, which was substantially
proven to be of the genuine brand,
when the building committee waited
on the members for subscriptions TO
the building fund. There was a
ready, cheerful and liberal response
all along the line. In a very short
time $4,000 were subscribed. The
committee at once secured an archi-
tect and discussed various plans sub
mitted and have now invited bids for
the general contract, according to
plans and specifications by Architect
p. o. Moe, of Minneapolis, MINI. The
bids will be opened May 2Sth and the
construction work will be begun as
soon as possible.
The church edifice will have n
