SO High School Students

This week our High school
opened with an enrolment of SO,
which is an increase of some l8
over last year. If we had some
good homes to place students
where they could earn part of
their board, we could make our
school total 125 or even $50. Our
aim is to organize the parents,
teachers and students into COM
mittees for the increase of at
tendance, and for places to board
and room students at a figure
which is not beyond their means.
We have had several students
who would gladly have entered
could they have afforded to pay
the price of room and board, OF
Guild we have located them where
they could have earned a part
of their keep.
The enrolment now is:

Mrs. Lady Swearengn OF RAJ
doIph county has sued Jas. Welch
who formerly lived near Mussel-
fork for $25OOO damage for his
failure to do and perform at a
wedding ceremony as it is alleg-
ed he solemuly promised.
Uncle Jim was announced in
the Moberly papers as being one
of the contracting parties to a
nuptial event, Mrs. Lady Swear
engin party of the first part, but
for some reason which will
doubtless appear to the satisfac
ton of a court and jury one way
or the other. The arranged fol-
event was ceremoniousless the
the bride, minister and banquet
were present and agreeable. The
alleged groom-to-be was missing
and it is now desired that III
cough up permanent reasons fol
his absence or, in lieu thereof
a small sum in cash, namely
twenty five thousand in good ant
lawful coin. The suit is file'
and the case will come up at tn
next term of our circuit court
perhaps.

One of the twin boys of John
@. Perkins was run over north
of Marceline last Friday by an
auto and quite seriously injured.
John @ and family had been to
Sullivan county to look after a
farm which was the property of
his wife and were returning in
their covered wagon. They
stopped to get fuel for cooking
supper. The boys were gather
ing sticks in the road. A line
of hay wagons was passing.
Arley, one of the twins and the
Democrat, ran between two of
the hay wagons. A fast moving
auto passed as Arley got in the
road beyond the hay wagons,
knocking the 8 year old boy
down and running over him
about midway. The road had
been worked and the rain made
it soft. The boy was mashed
down in the soft dirt to which
he owes his life, tho badly in
iured as it was. He was taker
to the hospital at Marcelint
where after four days he wa.
sufficiently recovered to be bro
home and is now ready for al
boyish sports. One vote saved
for the party which, however
may escape before his votini
time, the way politics is heade'
at present.

Church Bodies Want
Temporary Injunction
Against Language Law

Church, organizations seeking to
stop the operation of the Simon law,
passed by the last legislature, filed
an amended petition in district court
yesterday, asking a temporary re-
straining order to keep Governor Nc
Kelvie. Attorney General Davis and
County Attorney Shotwell from en-
forcing the law which prohibits the
use of any language except English
in the schoolss The first petition,
filed week ago, asked a permanent
injunction and, as this would not
come up for hearing until four
weeks had elapsed the amended petit
ton was filed to secure ,the tenn
pofary order until the hearing on
application for the permanent order.
The plaintiffs in the case are the
Nebraska district of the Evangelical
Lutheran Synod OF Missouri, Ohio
and other states; and St. Francis
Catholic church Of Omaha.
They declare that it is impossible
to instruct children in the lower
grades of their parochial schools in
English because they don't under
stand that language when they start
to school.
