MARION Wins IN
SUPREME COURT
COUNTY ATTORNEY ARGUES
FOR STATE IN MIKE
LARSON CASE

Mike Larson of Bainville, con.
victed of burglary, lost his appeal
to the supreme court by deci-
sion handed down the 29th. The
action was started when L. A.
Brown was county attorney and
Eric Noun his deputy. County
Attorney H. N. Marion argued the
case before the court at Helena
recently. A news item dated at
Helena says:
Sin affirming the judgment of
the district court of Roosevelt
county in the matter of the con-
viction of Mike Larson, for the
burglarizing of building used by
Thorvald Johnson as garage, the
supreme court sets at naught the
claim Of the defendant that the
information filed against Larson
was not legal in that it was signed
by the deputy county attorney in
stead of the county attorney.
Answering this the supreme
court states that while the depu-
ty's action might be subject to
criticism from standpoint of
the ethics of the profession, his
authority so to act is hardly open
to attack from a legal standpoint,
basing this upon Section 418, of
Me revised codes, which provides
"In all cases not otherwise pro-
vided for, each deputy possesses
the powers and may perform the
duties attached by law to the Of
flee Of his principal"
In answer to the specifications
that the evidence does not sustain
the verdict, the supreme court,
while admitting there is not any
direct evidence of defendant's s I
guilt of the theft of automobile !
parts stolen from johnson and I
most of which were afterwards
found on defendants premises,
holds it to be idle to argue that
the circumstances disclosed by
the evidence do not warrant a
finding that defendant entered the
building with the intention to
commit larceny.

sideration in selecting the little square
OF linen or silk.
If you want to see for yourself just
how popular handkerchiefs are as
Christmas presents, just visit q hand
kerchief counter a week or few days
before Christmas. But don't plan to
buy any handkerchiefs at that time,
unless you are prepared to devote an
hour or more to the task. You will
have no trouble now in making these
little purchases and you will find a
fuller assortment to select from.
The handkerchiefs you buy may be
of the practical sort of linen or crepe
de chine or the larger, purely orna'
mental sort that women use to thrust
into an outside pocket with the ends
peeping out. or to tie around their
necks.
Some of the shops are showing large
silk handkerchiefs in the college col
ors. These have been carried conspic-
uously at some of the foot ball games
this Autumn and would make extreme
ly appropriate gifts for young folks
you know who like to boost their fav-
orite varsity.
There are some women who value
most handkerchiefs Of the finest,
purest linen. For them the medley
of colorful georgette and crepe de
chine handkerchiefs shown on the
counters has no attraction. Remem.
ber this when you make your selec.
tions for Christmas. Other women
have rather loud taste in handker.
chiefs. They would be delighted with
one or two of the new batiked crepe
de chine handkerchiefs showing vivid
reds, purples, greens or yellows.
A gift that shows a gratifying bit
Of forethought consists of handker-
chiefs bearing the initials of the one
to whom they are sent. If you wait
until the last minute there will not be
time to have this done, but II you
order now you can be sure Of having
the little squares ready in time to send
for Christmas. You may even con-
trive to take these fine stitches your.
self and thereby show an even greater
amount of forethought.

lences as it pays it's pastor? He re-
ceives $1,000 a year and has a wife

AnSwer--A complete financial state

however, reveals a suStentatlOn OF
outside enterprises which might we'll
be diverted in part to the pastor and
his family.
Not that 1 suspect he is posing as
a martyr to the cause. Far from 1t.
Many similar unlisted heroes and
heroines of the manse known to me
are unaware Of their heroism. Their

rewards of joy and gratitude.
What is more, | would rather un-
derwrite the future of your minister's
three children than that of the three
children of your Wealthlest church
member. I could name a hundred or
more sons and daughters of rural par
sonages in and around New York who
have risen to positions of trust and
responsibility solely through merit.
They gladly endured a youthful disci-
pline which, as rule. surpassed that
of the average home, and the parental
example they received was beyond
any material standards of value.
Yet the policy of starving out the
country preacher or his poor city
brother is suicidal for the church at
large. Nor can it be excused because
some local churches are loudly gen
erous toward missions when they
should be plainly just toward their
minister Had he been duly consid-
cred in lowly places, the high places
would not be so barren of pulpit
power.
Get your business men together,
particularly those whose piety takes
practical forms. While in nowise
cooling off in their desire to help
worthy outside enterprises, let these
brethren act on the Pauline principle
that he who will not provide for his
own household is worse than an in
