lone HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Electioneering for the president of
the student body is in order this
week. The absence of Lee Howell,
the president, from school this year
makes 1t necessary that another be
elected as soon as possible to take his
place. Two or three candidates are
running for the nomination.
Two boys of I. H. S., Earl Blake
and Ernest Howell, will probably
take advantage Of the generous offer
of the government-thato of attending
Harvard and taking four-year
course in mechanical or electrical
engineering with all expenses paid
by the government. Another student,
Elisha Sperry, is trying to enter also,
but If he cannot make suitable ar
rangements he will enter the navy.
This is splendid opportunity and
we are certainly proud Of the boys
and feel assured they will make good.
The new moving picture machine
has been ordered and will be here
and installed in the rink soon. This
will cause a decided improvement in
the shows for the old machine was
practically worn out. The machine is
a Powers, one of the finest makes on
the market and the student body eX
poets to realize more profit now than
it has before. Not only will the pa
irons be guaranteed better shown pic
lures, but the pictures themselves
will be better as the student body has
secured the plays If the Greater Vita
graph.
The many friends of Miss Marguer-
ite Cook are sorry to learn that she
will soon move to Washougal with
her parents. Miss Cook is fresh
man and was active in all high school
affairs.
If wool can be procured the girls
in the Domestic Art class will begin
doing their bit" for the soldiers.
They will help the Red Cross by
knitting woolen articles such as
mufIllers, etc.
The football game with Heppner,
scheduled for the 10th Of November,
has been called off on account of
some of the players having to 60 to
Portland to make arrangements
about entering Harvard. On account
of the boys leaving there will proba-
bly, be no more games as the gaps
left in the team cannot be filled.

Bushels of Bad Checks
Return to Business Men

Checks that would fill bushel bas-
ket come back TO the business firms
in Omaha every few weeks because
the person who gave the check has
no funds or because he Glanced to
draw check on the wrong bank.
Three months ago the Associated
Retailers OF Omaha decided to keep
a list of all the checks returned by the
bank for one reason or another. This
was not done with any intention Of
bringing any harm to the persons who
gave the checks, but for the purpose
of making survey of the situation
to see what was the matter. The list
is now remarkably large and it is
found that the trouble SINNERS down
to two situations, largely. One, is the
case in which a person makes pur-
chase in store and then asks for
blank check to fill out. He. forgets
to change the heading OF the check,
and thus issues check on one bank
when his account is really in another.
The other chief difficulty is that per-
sens do not keep close enough rec
ord Of their check stubs, as compared
to their monthly bank balance, and
thus write checks alter their balance
has been consumed. Though the law
now is rather strict against this kind
Of thing, cases are not, as a rule,
pushed unless it is quite plain there
Is an attempt to- defraud.

PLESTINA TO MEET
I BELL JANUARY IS
Date Is Agreed Upon for Clash
Between the Coming" and
Come Back Grapplers.
BELL SAYS HE is FIT

: January Is is the date set for the
wrestling match between Marin Pies
tina, the big Omaha Austrian, who
has been making such loud noise
in wrestling circles the last six
months by hurting challenges at
every grappler in sight, and Freddie
Beell, the dimunitive scamp who
once captured the worlds champion
ship from Frank Gotch on >Auke
and is trying to stage a comeback.
The event will be held at the Boyd
theater in Omaha.
A few months ago Plestina, in his
broadside oftpromiscuous challenges,
included the, name OF Freddie Beell,
but at that time Freddie had visions
of becoming sheriff or a marshal or
constable or some other such Of
ficer which permits the occupant to
wear a glittering and impressive star,
and he ignored the def. But the
election didn't go the way Beelps am
billions lay so Freddie decided to, re-
turn to the wrestling game as a
means of earning three squares per
diem.
After two months of constant and
conscientious training Freddie de-
cided he was fit, so he challenged
Plestina. The shock almost killed
Marin, who has been evaded by most
all .the other wrestlers, but after he
recovered he lost no time accepting.
January Is was suggested as the date.
Marin said any old date suited him

Fails to Arrive at Verdict After
Eight Hours Of Deiberation
and Is Dismissed.

After eight hours of deliberation
the jury hearing the $4,000 damage
suit of George William Rinker
against Ringing Bros. circus in the
United States district court, failed to
agree and was dismissed by Federal
Judge Woodrough, without reaching
a verdict.
: Rinker in his suit alleged that on
August 10, 1914, while standing at
Sixteenth and Dodge streets, watch
ing the circus parade, a four horse
cage team became unmanageable,
broke away from the driver and ran
him down in the course of it's flight
north on Sixteenth street. He alleged
the injury ultimately resulted in total
paralysis of the voluntary organs and
almost complete paralysis of the or
gans of speech.

Suit Against Ringing Bros.

jury was alleged to have occurred
the circus was attached at Nebraska
City for $4,000. A transfer to the
federal court was obtained by coun-
sci for the circus people.
Taking of testimony and arguments
of counsel in the case took the entire
week in federal court John M. Kel-
ley, general solicitor : for Ringing.
Bros, came out from Baraboo, Wis,
to make the plea for the defense.
His defense was that the accident
never happened and that if it did
happen it was the result of an indie
pendent agency, because Officer Le-
roy Wade had, in trying to stop the
runaway horses, DETECTED their course
to one side before Rinker was
struck.
The case was given to the jury at
7 o'clock Friday evening. The jury
deliberated until 10 o'clock, when It
was released until 9 o'clock Saturday
morning. At 4 o'clock, Saturday after
noon the jury made it plain to Judge
Woodrough that it could not agree
and the judge dismissed it.

Kansas Supreme Court Defines
BootIeqqer and the J0intiSt

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 1.-The su-
preme court of Kansas was called
upon today to determine the differ
eice between bootlegger and joint
list, in unfolding decision granted
Carl S. Scriven Of Lebanon that the
council of that city in placing a tax
of $3.50 on his sweet cider business
should not refer to it as bootlegging.
The definition of a bootlegger
worked out by supreme court judges,
is person who sells Intoxicating
liquors on the sly, not from any par,
ticular business location, but carry
ing his wares in his bootleg, his
pocket, or in some fitting hole-in-the-
wall.
"But when a person establishes
himself in a definite place Of business,
where, by skillful legerdenfain he
can sell or pretend to sell the inno-
cent juice of the apple as we'll as
beer-both near and far-and other
the niceties of the Kansas
language designate him as jointist
and no longer in the plebeian class Of
bootleggers."

million Dollar Dolls" Get
Good Start at the Gayetv

The Million Do;far Dolls" with
Lew Hilton as chief fun promoter,
opened last night at the Gayety be-
fore an appreciative audience. 1t is
good show which starts to enliven
rather slowly, but once under way, it
rollicks ahead with wealth of amuse-
ment. -
Lew Hilton is the dynamo of the
whole works. From the rise OF the
curtain till its final drop, he's on the
stage dancing, singing, playing good
tunes on an old cigar box with a
string attachment, or making puppy
love to the ladies. Stem Kellan takes
it easy, but what little stuff he offers
is good. Bob Ferns, black-faced
mirth-maker, has unique speciality
with some new stories with a tang
to them. He would get by even
without his song hit, When the Black
Sheep Returns to The Fold" He sings
that to encores.
There's little man with kanga-
roo curve in his spine who does a
juggling act which wins prolonged
handclapping. He balances everything
from feather to a horse (p1aster
cast), on his protruding chin. He also
contributes a Charlie Chaplin act,
which is away above the average as
far as limitations of the movie star 60.
Among the ladies. the votes of the
audience probably went to Alice
Lazar, whose mold no artist would
scott at, She can sing, too, and con.
tributes Eff" "Ragtime Land" and
the Dangerous Girl" to the delight
Of the audience. Then there's Miss
Seymore, a lively, athletic girl, whose
singing of "He May Be Old, but He
Has Young Ideas" and other ditties
wins approval. Patricia Baker sings
several songs that get deserved ap-
plause. .-..
