+. ;. Berg, city superintendent Of
schools ut Dickinson, was the princi-
pal speaker Of the meeting which was

w. L. Nuessle. "Do the best that
you can," was the subject Of Mr..
Berg, who related numerous instances
of men who had risen to success by

Only the Best Is Good Enough
"A boy owes it to himself, to his
parents and to his community to use
one hundred per cent of his ability
and capacity" said Mr.. Berg. "Only
the best is good enugh. Too many
Of US are satisfied With doing aver
age work instead Of doing the best we
can.

and be square with yourself A fell
low who is not honest with himself
will not be honest with anyone else.
Everyone who wishes to make Il
success Of himself must have faith in
his fellow man, long for success and
be willing to pay the price. The
trouble with too many Of US today is
that we want to be, successful with
out paying the price. The only thing
which will do us any good is that
which comes from ourselves"

plea for better understanding Of

quiry.
Washington, Nov. 20 ,P) -Oppos-
ihg counsel in the Fall Hohcny oil
conspiracy trial went into their first
major combat today over the question
whether the evidence gathered in the
senate oil inquiry, showing that Ed
ward l.. Doheny advanced $lOO, ,OO0
10 Albert b. Fall, while Fall WAS in
the cabinet, can be used in the pres
ent trial by the government.
Manifestly, both sides regarded the
issue az one Of highest Importance
l,ohcny himself, on the stand before
the senate oil committee, disclosed
that he had made the 100000 pay
ment. Since then the payment has
been accepted as an undisputed fact
everywhere, even by the lawyers now
appearing in defense of the former
cabinet official and the oil magnate.
In their opening statement to the
jury early this week, the defense
counsel dealt at length with the $780,
900, in order to explain how they ex-
pected to prove the payment was
nothing but private loan passing
between two old friends.
Jury Excluded
But the opening statement Of an
attorney is not evidence, and if the
prosecution has any means of proving
the payment was made except on the
basis of the senate committee record
the government attorneys have not
disclosed it. An effort to put the
committee record into evidence just
before the trial recessed for Thanks
giving led to militant objection
from the defense. While the argu-
ments continue, the jury is excluded
from the courtroom by mutual agree
menk.
Owen ]. Roberts, speaking for the
prosecution, told the court today that
Doleny had made his statement be-
fore the senate committee voluntarily
and that it ought to go before tho
jury. The defense attorneys replied
that to produce tho senate testimony
in court would violate the legal i'm
munities of their clients.
While Roberts presented the prose
cution argument, the defense counsel
table was bee hive Of activity in
law books. Court attendants hurried
from the court room at intervals to
bring in new or musty volumes of
statutes and decisions.
The intense diligence of the de-
Tense counsel in searching the vol
umes suggested protracted argument,
extending perhaps through the day.
Senate Action Reviewed
Frank ]. Hogan began for the de-
Tense with q review Of the senate ac-
tion which eliminated in the Oil CON-
mittee investigation.
The defense attorney devoted halt
an hour to an amendment in 1862 OF
an act Of 1857. defining the admissi-
bility to court of testimony IN house
and senate proceedings. He said the
1862 amendment, on which Roberts
had rested his argument, had been
