Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Oct. 21.-Is 1t illegal
under the laws OF the state for a
group of professional men to mcor-
porate and to prActice under trade
name?
This Is the question which will be
considered before Judge d. D. Fuller,
probably next Saturday when repre-
sentatives of the New York Dental
company branch here have been
summoned to answer charges brought
against them.
A warrant has been issued for the
tarrest Of William Joseph Frost, one
of the dentists. The. Ad Club Ehas
been instrumental. in bringing the
charges. The state will be represen-
ted by William Butler and the AID
Club by George Marty. A lawyer
from Minneapolis will be sent here
by the dental association to fight it's
case.
It Is impossible to bring the action
In this test case against the dental
company, so Frost was charged IN
the warrant with "practicing dentis-
try under q name other than his
own"
The theory of the law is, as ex-
planned by prosecuting attorneys,
that an association Of dentists acts as
bar toward prosecution OF individ-
ual members in cases of malpractice.

Upon issuing q marriage license to

1okingly that she did so to keep him
from backing out" for she main
tanned that so years is long time.

Grinnell. Oct. 21.--As an appropri-
ate and very interesting prelude to
the work Of the inspirational insti-
tute Of today and tomorrow In this
city Dean w. r. Russell, Of the state
university. held an audience for an
hour last evening in the high school
assembly room with his address on
"Bolshevism and American Educa-
ton" Mr.. Russell spent sufficient
time in eastern Russia meeting the
educators Of that country. from the
most elementary schools to the SUP
ervisors. to become fairly well ac-
quainted with an element OF the
population that was not 80 closely IN
contact with Red Cross and 7. NJ. G..
A. workers. Ho was fortunate IN
having an American. and old univer-
sity mate, al his interpreter. He gave
personal observation Of the condition
of schools and children in parts OF
Siberia after bolshevik rule had been
forced westward. He gave the prin-
cipfes Of the doctrine and practice OF
bolshevfsm al he saw and heard IN
the land Of its most extensive prac-
t,ce. He read parallel statements OF
Lenine and Lincoln for comparison
and choice. He showed the appalling
ignorance Of the common Russian
people as he saw It. He believes that
the best way to fight the pernicious
doctrines in this country Is to give
freedom 81 speech to the extent OF a
full explanation and advocacy OF the
plan and depend upon the intelli-
gence that our schools and the pub
lie press win give to show the falsi-
ty of an claims. Suppression Of free
discussion Is far more likely to do
harm than good. The address was an
educational and not q controversial
one and was heartily enjoyed and
approved by tho goodly audience Of
all ages present.
Miss Stella Bartlett returned to her
home in Grinnell on Tuesday even
Ing after several months spent in
search Of health in southern Cali
fornia and In New Mexico. She shows
great Improvement In this respect.
