Since she was able to leave the hospital, she had been staying at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C A. Mathis. For a time the amputated member did not heal readily, but she had been getting along nicely of late and seem ed on the road to recovery, the cause of her death, which occurred last week, being heart failure. The funeral was held from the Methodist church, with interment in the Greenwood cemetery. The relatives and friends of this good woman have the sympathy of their many friends here.

The game between the first teams was a lop sided affair, with Greenwood scoring 48 points to their opponents' 3. The second teams were more evenly pit ted, however, and the score was 16 to 7 in favor of the home boys. Go to it. boys play the game square at all times, and win or lose you will have no regrets.

The club, with the help of other re lief organizations of the town, plans to see that the toys are repaired and distributed to the children of the community who would not otherwise receive toys this Christmas. The benefit card party given re cently by the club was fairly well at tended and enjoyed by those present. However, the cold weather and pre vailing sickness hindered many from taking part who had planned to do so. It is hoped that another such party may strike a more favorable time. The funds from this party and other activities of the club will be used in bringing Christmas cheer to the needy of our community. Mrs. Mathews and her committee wish to thank all who assisted in making the party a success. Funeral of Mrs. Atkinson Lillie Atkinson was born at Ponca City, Nebraska, December 15, 1865.

State Consti tution Bars All ''Intoxicants' Chautemps Fails, So Paul-Bancour Seeks a Cabinet Satisfactory Debt Formula Proves a Snag in Negotiations Wait United States Word. Attorney General C. A. Sorensen Rules That Amendment Is Necessary. Lincoln, Dec. 14. An opinion that the Nebraska legislature cannot au thorize manufacture of intoxicating liquor without an amendment of the state constitution was prepared today by Attorney General C. A. Sorensen. Answering an inquiry from State Representative Rudolph Tesar of Omaha he said, however, there had been some misconception, however, about the constitution's forbidding "malt, spirituous, vinous or other in-i toxicating lijuors." He said there j had been an attempt to interpret this as barring any malt, spirituous orj vinous liquors but that he believed ' the intent of the constitution was to bar only the liquors of those kinds which are intoxicating. Tesar asked if the Volstead act were changed and beer legalized by congress if the state legislature could change its interpretation of intoxi-J eating liquor to permit beer in Ne braska. Tho attorney general said the Nebraska courts had consistently held the state constitutional provi sion barred liquor which drunk in a quantity which a man could consume practically would be intoxicating.' Sorensen said it would be a matter of I fact for the courts to determine what percentage of alcohol could be per mitted in a beverage without violat- j ing the constitutional limitation against intoxicants. The opinion recognized tho right of the legislature to submit a con stitutional amendment to the people. World-Herald. Paris, Dec. 16. Joseph Paul-Bon-cour tonight undertook the task in which Camille Chautemps failed to give France a government likely to find the best solution to the war debt problem. Late tonight he accompanied re tiring Premier Herriot to Elysee pal ace, where the latest information on Washington's attitude toward the debts, cabled by Ambassador Caudel, was shown by President Lebrun. It was said in official circles that the ambassador's cablegram indicated that Washington, to which was sub mitted the chamber of deputies reso lution against making the December tinue negotiations on the subject of 15 debt payment, was willing to con the payment although the due date is passed. So far as was made known, no mention was made of the Ameri can attitude toward a general debt conference. An official indication of the American stand is still awaited. After an hour's talk with Lebrun, Paul-Boncour left for home, announc ing that he would talk with his friends, notably Chautemps. in the morning and then give the president his decision. He added that he would only begin the customary calls and consultations if he definitely decided to form a cabinet. Chautemps, the young radical lead er, gave up the task of construct ing a cabinet because he could not find a compromise on the debt prob lem. Having failed to find this com promise, which would be acceptable to parliament and presumably agree able to Washington and would assure belated payment to America, Chau temps definitely lost the collaboration of Edouard Herriot, the retiring premier.

SOLON KEPT FROM CAPITOL Schroeder Rites Last Monday Funeral services for Henry Schroe der, of Lincoln, who died the Friday previous while visiting a daughter, Mrs. Lillie Walradt, at Clay Center, were held at the home there on Mon day, followed by a second service at Washington. Armed with a hand ful of campaign cards bearing his signature, Otha D. WWarin. the twen ty-eight year old representative elect from Iowa, almost had to storm the capitol to gain admission. Wear ing a scarlet tie, a pale tan shirt and . a dark brown suit, the gentleman from the tall corn state ran afoul of guards wherever he sought to enter. Doorkeepers of both houses, un usually cautious because Tuesday a youth held the house membership at the point of a gun. shook their heads vigorously upon his arguments that he was entitled to the floor. Even when he produced his campaign cards, he had to stand by patiently while guards looked up the records. "I served two terms in the Iowa state legislature," he said, "but even out there I've never been suspected so much in one day as I was here." CLAIMS RIGHT TO ESTATE Ainsworth, Neb. County Judge F. R. Galbraith Thursday refused to re open a case involving the will of Ida May Alton of Long Pine to permit a contest against its being probated. After he ordered probate of the will which left an estimated $13, 3G0 estate to friends in Norfolk and Long Pine and excluded a nephew, Ralph Alton Crissler supposed to be her only heir, another claimant ap peared. Mrs. Minnie Mitten of Sloan, la., alleged that sho was a cousin of Miss Alton and the only legal heir and asked that the case be reopened and probate of the will denied on the ground that undue influence had been fnfluenced on Miss Alton. Attorneys for Mrs. Mitten Thurs day indicated after the hearing be fore Judge Galbraith that they would carry the contest to the district court.
