SCHOOL CLERK WRITES
ON FiDUClARY AFFAIRS

Hot Springs, s. D., April 13.-Suit
has been ordered brought against the
members OF a school board near Smith
wick for their failure to comply with
the state school law in regard to pay
ment of a claim for carrying children
to and from school. One Of the exhib-
Its in the court case will be the classic
letter from clerk of the school district,
giving his advice in simplifed spelling
style.
Mrs. Sarah Thompson, a patron Of
the school had four children in this
school and drove back n forth with
them morning and evening, a distance
of four miles each way. The state
law provides that a school must be
maintained within three n one-half
miles Of each pupil or that rs cents per
day must be allowed for the Transport
tation of pupils outside this radius.
Mrs. T~hompson's total bill reached sos
for the term. She was paid only S23.75
by the board. The clerk Of the board
then wrote her a typewriter letter on
his business letterhead which was Of
ficially signed in pencil. The letter
said:
Dear Madam: Yours at hand
this is all the board can do to help
you If wee paved any moore wee
WOOD not nave n mOny TO pay
the teacher and then the children
could not go to school then you
should try and help some to do the
best and
get along some way do not feed the
horse to much grain or he will run
a way and you will want us to pay
fore The kids. resp"
State Superintendent Lawrence has
informed Mrs. Thompson that her claim
is valid and states that this is not
optional with the school board, and
that IL they have not the funds on
hand they must issue warrants which
will e interest. He advises her thai
If the board refuses to obey the law
in this matter they may be compelled
to do so by mandamus proceedings
brought in the circuit court.

There never will be and never can

moved. The house of representa-

BATTLE TOMORROW

Tomorrow will usher in the baseball
series which local fans have been an
ticipating these many days. The
Boise Irrigators will arrive tomorrow
morning to cross bats with the Pen
dleton Buckarooes for six games and
interest in this succession of battles is
at a fever heat. The Boise bunch is
the one team which has not yet been
seen in action here and for this rea.
son as well as for the fact that DaG
Gimlin has an aggregation of real,
live ball players who are out for the
pennant local fandon is aroused.
The local boys have met the Irri-
gators only once before and split
even on the series. Several of the
games were the most sensational of
the season, going extra innings. Since
them Gimlin has secured some ad-
ditional players and the team demon
strated its strength last week by cop
ing four of the series with Walla Wal
la, thus enabling Pendleton to
take a seat with the Bears on the per-
centage summit. Garrett is pretty
we'll satisfied with the bunch he now
has and, by keeping almost the same
personnel since the opening of the
season, he has been able to develope
in it a machine-like movement which
is more valuable than the playing of
a GALAXY of stars. He is negotiating
for another twirler and is in hopes
that he will arrive during the series.
Phil Knell will remain here this
week to referee the games which in
sures the fact that they will be UNI
pired from the umpires box and not

house was examined and the neigh

the efforts to find the missing child
were vain and the mother was almost
