Praise is due "June" Marshall and
those members of his "Little Band"
who turned out and played gratis for
the dance following last night's so
cial meeting of the Legion and Auxil

whether he sees a "pay" job ahead
or not, and the pursuit of such a
policy cannot help but pay big div

Our llarve?t Festival opens a week
from tonight. Intensive preparations
will be required during the coming
week to get everything in readiness
and among the important things is
a good turnout for the booster trip
on Wednesday night. There will be
plenty of tars to provide transpor
tation for everyone who wants to go,
so just because you don't have a car
of your own, don't feel backward
about asking to be assigned a place
in the car of someone else.

The Legion has featured some
of the best orchestras in the state at
its mid-week dances orchestras that
could not have been brought here
except with a building and floor like
ours available. And with them, we
have attracted dancers from as far
away as G5 miles not one or two,
but lots of them. In fact at any
mid-week dance you will find fully
as many strangers here as home

wholesome amusement at these mid

you to again include dancing in your
amusement program. "One never
gets too old to dance" you know.
Our next mid-week dance comes
on Wednesday, Dec. 14, with Put

in publication personnel is about to
be made, however, and we are in

who will look after maintaining the
circulation. The Legionnaire has
been run in a prettv slip-shod man

the retirement of Adjutant O'Con

School Dispute
m Higher Courl
Question of Whether Electors May
Banish High School Teacher
from District in Suit.
, 11 you nave not secured your,
! Thanksgiving cards, do so now at the
Bates Book and Gift shop where a '
, wide range of designs are awaiting
your inspection.
Following the advice of the coun
ty and state superintendent, Joseph
Mills, Herbert Fuller and Herman
Trauernicht. members of the school
board in District No. 10, Frontier
county, disregarded the vote at the
annual meeting in favor of dispens
ing with high school instruction,
and now they are in supreme court
asking that tribunal to overturn an
order of the district court that they
follow the instructions of the annual
meeting and hold no suc h school.
The question does not involve the
validity of the law providing for the
giving of high school instruction in
rural schools, it was expressly stated
by the lower court, in its opinion,
but is whether the offering of such
instruction is so mandatory in char
acter that the board must do so or
whether the vote at the annual meet
ing controls.
Little dispute exists as to the facts.
The district is a small one, with but
eleven pupils, and George Volkrr.an
and the others who brought the ac
tion in mandamus insist that there
are no children this year of high
school age, and hence no necessity
exists for the instruction being given.
They said that the giving of this!
work means an expense of at least
$110 a month for a teacher compe
tent to give it, and the motion to dis
pense with it, if that could be legal
ly done, was carried by a vote of
fourteen to seven. j
In spite of the vote, the directors;
said they would have to give it, and '
hence the action to mandamus them j
before any expense had been incur-'
red. They say that they believe;
enough pupils .are available to pay ;
the expenses, coming from other dis-
tricts that pay tuition, and that as ;
the schoolhouse was added to for '
this purpose, it will be convenient to
parents, because the ether nearest
schools are ten and fifteen miles
a way.
BOX SOCIAL AND PROGRAM
There will be a box social and
program held at the Oxford school
Dist. 91 on Friday November 25th.
The public cordially invited. Ladies
