IMTAItiSON, WIS. —Women, married and unmarried, now the equals of men before the law in Wisconsin, must bear the responsibilities of their hew privileges granted by the women's rights bill enacted in I',r_’l, the Wisconsin Supreme court has decided. It b*!d a woman Hable in her separate I property and business when she indorses a note of her husband, incurring financial liability for him. The court in its decision affirmed the ruling of Judge Fritz of the Milwaukee Circuit court that Amalie Jahu of Milwaukee is liable for the debt of her" husband incurred by an note on the First National bank ai that city, which was countersigned j by Mrs. Jahn. ' Justice Rosenberry, writing the Apitiicrt. held, however, that recent leg- 1 btlafion giving equality of right and privilege to both sexes before the law, "does not, and should not, strike down sex as a basis of classification in the enactr,;. <it of law reflating to the fiefclth, nlbrals and general welfare of the popple."’ | decided fhtrf the disability (fc'i-wcMhpi'aT ccfejrionTdv* to make if "d»3t- <" ■’'fth 1 b?' ts# Wisconsin/: *as set- a;snacitl protection' or: privilege which she «-i joyed for the general welfare.

| Field Coals | Has your team lost yet* || We don't know how you feel about I It, but we think the tournament here I la mighty good. I . Lancaster was the first to upset our dope. Too much Meyer spelled defeat for Bluffton. The big center on the Lancaster, outfit sank nine field goals during the thirty minutes of play. That Monroe-Decatur game was * worth the price of a season ticket. The two teams were very evenly matched and it was anybody's game ! all the way through. Lammiman, center, was the star in the Monroe lineup. There were no outstanding stars in the Decatur lineup, each one putting up a good game. There's a fine kit of centers iu the tournament this year. Landis, of Liberty Center; Lammiman. of Monroe; Meyer, of Lancaster; and Walk er, of Union Center, all played exceptionally good games yesterday. Mey- , er and Walker each scored nine field goals in their games. Thoma, of Union Center, showed up about as good as any forward on the floor yesterday. The little fellow •is fast, handles the hail nicely,* and is an accurate shooter. Several hundred hearts beat as one when Dorwin stepped to the foul line to toss those two free throws at, the close of th? Decatur Monroe game yesterday afternoon. Dean sure delivered in fine style. No dotibt. Kessler, floor guard for Monroe who committed the personal foul at the close of the Decatur Monroe game, which resulted in Deeai.t: s v ctory, felt mighty I bte after the game. Kessler was playing the and say, he's -t pretty good sort of a game, though, and it was due to his over-anxiety to prevent a field goal in the last few seconds, that caused him to commit the foul, it happen? to th? best of guards. Well, fans, we had the pleasure of meeting Out of Bounds yes|erday, sport He conmlimentod; u» on tne fine game the D. H. S. boys played yesterday. For his sake, we kmda hated to see his Red and Black warriors defeated last nignt. "Dizzy" Steele came over from Kokomo -yesterday to see the boys beat Monroe. The f inner Mar back guard on the D. H. S. five stood on the st h lines and he was just as happy ? ; anyone in the big gym when Dorv n tossed in those two free throws and sewed up the game for the locals Dizzy's home town team. Kokomo, lost its first game in the sectional t .urnament y?t “relay to Greeutown, 2i to 16. Clowser and Early, of Bluffton, played a nice game against Lancaster last night. We are told that net one of tbc players on the Lancaster quintet use profane language or indulge in the use of tobacco in any form, even when not ’training for basketball. Clean habits go a long way in making a good athlete. Its a tough life, ain't it Outta. Anyhow. «e enjoyed the tournament longer than you did. — • 1 YES or NO?* A T««t of Your IntolllgonM I J The correct answer to one.of these questions is YES. to the other NO. STOP TO THINK!

"Snakes” is congressional idiom for doubtful legislation Party leaders are arranging today for the final hours. They found it would be necessary to kill some time. Two or three bills that have somewhat a chance of passage will be thrown into the breach to fill up the gaps and keep out some of the importunate ones whose bills have not found favor. After spending all of today and a good part of tonight in gathering up the legislative loose ends, both houses will recess until 11 a. m. Sunday.

MONROE NEWS 1 C. W. Hocker of Elkhart, was calling on friends here Thursday. Ed Fugate is suffering with an attack of tosilitls. Monroe was well represented at Decatur Friday, attending basketball tournament. t Mrs. O. O. Hocker, who has heed quite ill during the past week, is able to be about again. J. I’. Johnson and W. W. Hendrick's, on last Wednesday, butchered ten. hogs on tile Johnson farm. After they had nine of tho squeelers hung up. and one in the tub taking his hot water bath, they noticed that the nine hung up were “coming down." Johnson and Hendricks at once adjusted the trouble by doing the hanging act over I again, and Joo was busy for some-1 time afterward in giving them a cold ; water shower bath. Joe had but little! i to say. however. Monroe has now a real up-to-date j 'millinery emporium. Mrs. Mary; (diver, who recently started a millinery store here found that the quarters were too small at her home to display her goods, has rented and moved into the M. S. Llechty office j building where she has added a large stock of ladies' and Misses’ hats, and is sliowing the lastest creations in Easter bonnets. March started in like a lamb, and will probably go out like a lion. • DRAG YOUR OWN — Scottsburg, Ind., Feb. 28—" Every man drags the road along his own farm,” reads the slogan adopted by several township farm bureaus of the Scott County Farmers association.
