Burt Sehoel District Sued toPsovi6l
Tfanspoetat3ea
A suit that promises unusual II.
terest was begun Tuesday Of thil
week, when Moody o. Eide and John
C. Lowe, attorneys, brought man.
damus proceedings against the school
board Of Burt township, southwest OF
Minot. The purpose 10 to force the
board to provide transportation 1os
tAs children Of Z. s. Davis to and
from school, which is four and half
miles from the Davis home.
The suit is based on the state laws
which require that all children shall
attend school; that in special school
districts children living more than q
mile and half from school shall have
transportation provided, and in all
other cases shall have transportation
if living more than two and q half
miles from school.
Mr.. Davis moved his family a
month ago to land he had leased in the
township. The property had been
occupied by Mr.. Coffey before Mr..
Davis moved to it. Transportation, it
is alleged, had been provided for the
Cotfey children. In Mr.. Davis case
it is the contention Of the board that
he moved into the school district for
the purpose of obtaining transporta-
ton for his children.

SLEEP ON, BRAVE HEARTS
IN FLANDERS
By Edith Meehan Melton

Gan answer to Lieut.-Co Johi,
McCrae's poem, "In Flanders
Fields"
Brave hearts in Flanders Fields,
sleep on!
The faith was kept, the victory's won.
Sing softly and sweetly, brave larks
of the air;
Blow on, fair poppies, and keep watch
near
Our dear brave soldiers in Flanders.
Tho we are dead, to us you live
In glorious beauty in our memory
still.
Dear little crosses, that mark the
places
Where our dear loved heroes lay
May you stand firm though the
winds may blow,
Forever the crosses between the rows.
