SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

School opens at nine o'clock in
the morning, and at a quarter
past one at noon. Some parents
and even pupils seem to have
forgotten the hour. Two tardi'
nesses in one day by the same
parties are inexcusable. One
case a month is even too often.
A public literary program has
been planned by the high school
for Friday evening, March 9th,
to be given at the town hall.
Considerable preparation has
been made and we are promised
something pretty good. The
program is to consist of decla-
nations, original papers, songs,
and debates.
The basket ball boys are plan
ming to go to the district turna-
ment at Valley |City on Friday
and Saturday of this week. We
hope for a good showing this
year. Thus far this season they
have lost only one game and that
by a close margin. Good luck
to you, boys. Remember you

Careful investigation in one of

junior class so per cent we're
smokers; and in the senior class
81 per cent we're smokers. With
one exception, all the boys
dropped for failure were smok-
ers. We cannot help but won
der to how great an extent this
is the cause of some of the low
marks received by our boys, in
the grades as we'll as in the high
school. Tobacco and good
grades never were nor ever will
be close companions. Would
that some of our parents might
have their eyes opened to this
fact. The writer has never

Intervention in Mexico, not

Who owns The Falkland IsIands2

Few people are aware to this day
that the Falkland islands are marked
in all Argentine maps and Biographies
as "unlawfully retained by Great Brit
ain" The origin Of the dispute was
that England after abandoning the
islands in 1774 resumed possession in
1920. The Argentine government pre-
tested and, as A. Stuart Pennington
points out in his book OH the country.
is even today careful to do nothing
which could even apparently recognize
the rights of the present possessors.' y
1t was for that reason that 1t declined
proposal few years ago to run a
line of Argentine ships to the Islands.

INDICATED THE MULE.
A Legal Case Where the Honor Of the
Animal Was Involved.

A Legal Case Where the Honor Of the
Animal Was Involved.
One of the most famous cases re-
ported in the Missouri Law Reports is
that Of Lyman versus Dale. known as
the celebrated mule case"
1t seems that Dale's hired hand,
Parker after days work supplying
water TO clover huller, was passing
through the city of Springfield, riding
one mule and leading another. lie
met Lyman just opposite pile of
bricks in the street, capped by red
lantern. The mule being led became
frightened at the bricks and lantern
and, jumping aside. broke wheel out
of Lyman's buggy.
This laid the foundation Of the case.
Lyman sued Dale for a damage Of S..
charging him with negligence in han
ding q wild and unruly mule"
The case was first tried In a justice
of the peace court at Springfield, Mo-,
and was appealed to the circuit court.
From there it was taken to the court
of appeals, which court. failing to
agree. sent 1t to the supreme court Of
the state.
This court held that Lyman could
not recover damages unless be proved
that the mule was wild and unruly."
Judge Henry Lamm said that, while
the amount involved In the case was
small. the value of the case was great
for the sake Of the doctrine and also
because 1t involved the "honor Of the
Missouri mule Exchange.

Whitman Determined
To End All Boxing;
Praise for Darcy

repeal the boxing law will be reported
favorably from the Senate judiciary

Of the fifteen members would vote for
the bill.
The measure had been pigeonholed

ING for action by the Assembly on the
identical G. 7. Davis bill. The lower
house having twice beaten the Davis
bill, the Senate will have TO act on the
Slater bill. IL is almost certain TO pass
the Senate, but, like the Davis bill, is
due for fight in the Assembly.
Governor Whitman will use all the
powers of his office to force the anti
boxing legislation through both houses.
He has conferred with Speaker Sweet,
and it is understood that he has not
only served notice on him that ne
wants the Slater bill sent TO him TO be
signed, but Unsurpassed his displeas-
ure in no uncertain terms over the
fate of the Davis bill.
While pressure from the Executive
chamber and the Speaker will undoubt-
edly have its effect on many recalci-
trant Assemblymen. not a few of them
have declared that if another anti-bOx-
ing measure is brought up in the
House it will be beaten worse than
ever.

Metropolitan Golf
Situation Mixed
AT Present Time
Majority of Those in Control
Opposed to Play
For Titles
Bv GRANTLAND RICE

Competitive golf around the New
York district is now in badly complex
state. With the national champion
sh.ps called off, there rs very little
chance that either the metropolitan or
the New Jersey titles will be played for
although no official decision in this re-
gard has yet been given out.
There arc conflicting opinions con-
corning the advisability Of holding the
metropolitan and the New Jersey cham
pionships. but the majority Of those m
control at present seem to be opposed
TO putting any titles up for competitive
play. II is argued by these that regula-
lions and reasons which apply 10 the
national championships should also ap-
ply 20 any leading local affairs.
Tho hos. suggestion i'm sight is that
one or two Of the we'll known courses
hold tournaments for purely patriotic
purposes. by charging an entrance zee
of s. and giving no prizes. at least SOU
or $500 per tournament could be col
lccted for Red Cross purposes. whle al
the same time sufficient interest IN play
could be maintained.
Certain clubs might hold one-day
medal play tournaments OF this charac-
ter over thirty-si& holes, where n could
be understood that the entrants were
contributing their money and their
skill 20 help the cause along. The ten
mis- association is planning certain tour
namcnts Of this type, and the golfers
could very we'll help IN the same way.
il is 20 be hoped that some such ar
rangement will soon be made. Three
opc-dav tournaments Of this type would
easily net 81 800. and al the same time
keep public interest in the game from
fading out
Oswald Kirkby is well fixed to defend
his two titles in case Che metropolitan
and the Jersey championships should
be PLAYED The double title holder had

Saturday, proof that his game $

His two rounds were IS 80 and 31-36.
