WOOD BROKE THE
HEART OF A WELLS MAN

James Mulcare, slightly known
around Wells, and who has been
living at the ranch of R. L. Wood
few miles north of Wells was
found dead early Monday MORN
ing by Mrs. Wood at point in
the hills about five miles east of
their ranch, says the Wells Herald.
Mr.. Mulcare had left for the hills
Sunday morning with the idea of
getting load of wood. He failed
to return that night, and Mrs.
Wood stated that she was worried
and knew that something had hap
pened to him, but she was unable
to make hunt for him until the
next morning as there were only
herself and daughter on the ranch
She Immediately notified Coroner
j. G. Schmid and he selected a
jury composed of r. E. Mcmillan,
Paul E. Nelson and Henry w. Will
son to go to the scene and hold
an inquest over the deceased. Null
care was found dead, lying on his
back a couple of feet from the
wagon which he was loading wood
onto. There were no marks or
bruises about his body or head
that would indicate an accident,
and after listening to the testimony
of r. L. Wood that the deceased
had been complaining of a weak
heart, the cornorer's jury brought
in the verdict of death through
heart, the coroner's jury brought
exertion. 1t is certain that death
overlook the man before Sunday
as the lunch he had brought with
him was untouched and only a
few sticks of wood had been placed
in the wagon.

QUINN RIVER WATER
CONTEMPT CASE is UP

District court, with Judge Hart
presiding as a special judge in the
case, is engaged today in hear

filed by the Pacific Live Stock COM
pany against a number of Quinn
River valley farmers who are al
legged to have violated a court in
junction issued restricting the de-
PENDANTS to the use of certain wa
ters in that section of the country.
A large part of the forenoon was
spent by the court listening to argu-
ments of the counsel, pro and con,
relative to the rights of jury trial,
and it was finally determined that
the case is of a nature that comes
solely within the province of the
judge to determine the merits of the
issue, and the attorneys, this after
noon, are busy making plain to
Judge Hart just what his decision
shall be, If he desires to render

MERIT
YOUR ATTENTION
American Education Weew is With
You With the Spotlight Turned
Full Upon the Objects That
Are To Be Improved

Starting this last Sunday, with
the theme "For God and Country"
throughout the nation there will
be general observance this entire
week of a program of education
and by proclamation it has been de-
clared american Education Week"
set apart by the Joint Committee
of the National Education Associa-
tion and the American Legion as
american Education Week." Presi-
dent Harding, the governors of the
states and the mayors of cities have
issued proclamations calling for the
observance of the week and urging
that special attention be then given
to education.
The American Legion and the Ma
tional Education Association have
issued a program suggesting a gen.
eral theme for each day of the week
beginning with Sunday, December
8, as follows:
Sunday, December 3-For God
and Country.
Monday, December American
Citizenship Day.
Tuesday, December 5-Patriotism
Day.
Wednesday, December 6-School
and Teacher Day.
Thursday, December 7-Illiteracy
Day.
Friday, December Equality of
Opportunity.
Saturday, December 9-Physical
Education Day.
While the initiative has been taken
by the American Legion and the
Association with the cooperation of
the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation, the week is in reality a col
lective enterprise in which hundreds
of organizations, national, state and
local, join in an effort to emphasize
anew the basic Importance of edu-
cation in every phase of our life.
While each organization will realize
the broader purpose involved in
the celebration of the week, each
will especially emphasize the par
ticular features which its field of
activities qualities it to stress most
effectively.
