took the toss Of coin this afternoon

kosltZky, winning the toss, elected
to speak last. He will subject Lig-
gett to tie necessity of firing his
best ammunition first, without any
advance knowledge of the line Of at
tack which kositzky is to pursue. The
general opinion locally seems to be
that in any event kositzky is fully
qualified to more than hold his own

fRACHOMA RULING
UPHELD BY NORTH
DAKOTA TRIBUNAL
Supreme Court Declares La
MOure County School Board
Was Within Rights

The right of the Roscoe school dis
trict in LaMOure county to refuse adj
mittance to trachOma suspect was
upheld by the supreme court yester-
day when it affirmed a decision OF
Judge Coffey in the LaMoure county
district court in an action brought by
c. T. Martin against Hattie Craig,
principal. and Chris Waldie. J. A.
Youngman, and Knut Larson, directors
of the Roscoe school district.
Evidence showed that survey made
for the federal government by Majol
Oakley disclosed that at the time the
school board took this action there
were 100 positive and $50 suspected
cases of trachoma in LaMoure coun-
ty. It was shown that number Of
cases diagnosed by the county board
of health as trachoma and held by
the public health laboratory at Grand
Forks to be something else had been
confirmed upon submission to the gov
ernment hospital al Pikesville, Ky
and that as result of conditions in
LaMoure county the government
found It necessary to establish a
trachOnla hospital there The su-
case of trachOma mad developed in
the Martin home and that the second
child. over whose exclusion the suit
originated was suspected. 1t holds,
therefore, that the school board was
entirely within its rights in excluding
this pupil from school.
