the article which appeared in the

the papers at Vivian and MIDLAND
we did not know that Kadoka wa
being sighted, but became awar'
of the fact when we received co
py of Volume l, No. 2 of "The Sch
ool Chronicle" and Judging from
the wrapper we came to the con
clusion that Nellor & Fowler were
on our trail. Nevertheless, The
Chronicle" is paper well wortl
circulating and the publishers
who by the way are the emmber'
of the faculty of the Kadoka sch
ools, and the printers. who arc
Nellor and Fowler of the Kadoks
Press, need not hesitate in push
ing it right along. This shoult
also apply to the business interes
Is of Kadoka because there is I;
source of advertising for their co
immunity that should not be over
looked. The paper is dandy
five columns, four pages and wei
filled with good reading material

B. Willis Beede, educational secre-
tary of the American Friends Board
of Foreign Missions may take charge
of the boards activities, as general
secretary
Since the resignation OF Ross A
Hadley, received at the annual board
meeting held in May, the executive
committee of the board has been con-
sidering who to appoint for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Hadley has been granted a
years leave, beginning not later than
Sept. /, 1921. He has been general
secretary for four years and assistant
secretary for two years preceding.
Mr.. Beede returned about a month
ago from a year spent visiting African
mission stations belonging to the
Friends. While his services as educa-
tional secretary are important. it is
also realized that he understands the
missionary work so thoroughly as to
prove Of great value to the board as
general secretary. 1t is understood
that he was favorably considered by
the executive committee at its last
meeting. Definite steps have not been
taken, however.

school masters considered themselves
Thursday evening.

ing a good time, John Moore. marshal

scene. Professor Maddy was the one
sought by the officer Of the law. He

After celebrating four and cnehalf
hours a jury in Wayne circuit court
agreed to disagree in the case of Hor-
ace Miller. a farmer of near Dublin,
charged with assault and battery with
intent to murder Charles Hiatt, a
neighboring farmer. The decision Of
the jury was returned at 1890 Thurs
day night. The case was given them
at o'clock. The vote stood seven for
acquittal and five for conviction on the
last ballot, jurors stated.
The trial was the outgrowth of a
farmers feud between the two men
who have been estranged for the past
three years. HATS land was drained
through a ditch which ran through
Mlller's land. Hiatt charged that he
was fred upon with a shot gun by
Miller while he was on Miller's land
cleaning out the ditch. Miller stated
that he did not fire at Hiatt, but shot
with the intention of soaring him and
preventing his cleaning the ditch on
his (Millers) farm

ALL TAX COMPLAINTS
TO BE INVESTIGATED
BY BOARD OF review

:, Investigation OF all complaints to
the board of review will be made this
year, according to an announcement
made by County Assessor Mathews
Friday. A man will be selected to
view all personal property on which
objections are made. and he will fix
the value according to his estimation
He will have the power to either raise
or lower the value.
Assessor Mathews states that no re
auctions will be made until after in
vestigations have been made. 1t Is
thought this new plan will prevent
many people appearing before the
board with the idea Of forcing lower
ing of their taxables.
The board of review will meet In
opening session next Monday. Little
will be done the first day besides or

not begin work in earnest until Wed

penn STATE COLLEGE
DROPS HONOR SYSTEM

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, June g.
After months of consideration in
which there has been steadily in
creasing sentiment against retention
of the honor system as it has been in
effect at Pennsylvania state college
for six years. the faculty last night
voted unanimously in favor of its tenn
porary suspension. A recent student
vote failed to amend the system so as
to place it on a more efficient basis
to satisfy those students and faculty
members opposed to it, and the fac
ulty action has been accepted as the
most logical step.
More cases of violation have been
dealt with by the student honor court
since the war period than in the four
years preceding, and the after war
unrest is largely blamed for its not
functioning properly.
