A decision will not be handed down
until next Fall, Chief Justice Grafton
Green said, because the court will

peal came to a close with an impas-
stoned plea from Clarence Darrow
that intellectual freedom be protect

There was no William Jennings
Bryan to contrast Darrow, but there
was K. T. McConnicO, a "silver-

defended the law.

their operation.
To direct teaching in a specific,
fashion was not interfering with an.

merely warned off attacks upon al

Scobey was defeated by Plenty

returned from Regina, where they
had trimmed that Canadian team.
The Scobey fans believe that Plenty

two games and feel that the next
games will give them the break and
with a strong pitcher in the box and
other changes in the lineup that tney
will again prove their superiority
over Plentywood. -,
Money is no object to Scobey with
Plentywood holding the champion
ship of Northeastern Montana at the

PLAYERS are going to be paid fancy
prices to come here to bring back the
high honors to the Daniels county
