High School
In compliance with the proclamation
of Mayor Woolverton our local schools
have made an effort to raise some
funds for the Near East Relief work.
At this writing we cannot say how
much our schools have contributed
^toward this cause, as the drive was
continued during the first part of the
Week.
Linton has beer, allotted $50 worth
of Christmas Seals. These are being
sold through the efforts of our local
schools. .Each of the grades has been
asked to buy $2 worth of these stamps
and the High School$5 worth. The
remainder will be offered for sale by
Thoihas Barger, who was assigned the
territory East of Main street Joseph
Bosch, of the Eighth Grade, for the
territory lying west of Main street
and north of the court house Kenneth
Green, for the territory lying west of
Main street and south Of the court
house and Frank Chesrown, who will
call at all places of business. The
amount is comparatively small for a
place the size of Linton, Jand we
trust that there will, be a prompt and
.hearty response
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving vaca
tion last Thursday and -.Friday, and
Monday found our teachers iand pupils
with smiling faces -ready for work.
Julia Heisler handed in the greatest
number of perfect copies last week.
Ruth Irvine'' was ^a close second.
Nyla Atha, in a sentence that covered
the entire keyboard," wrote 602 words
in ten minutes, making ten mistakes,
thus leaving her a net rate of 50.2.
This is the highest rate attained in
tiie speed tests by any of our pupils
this year. Aurelia, Alma and Nyla
are now practicing on the Interna
tional typewriting tests.
Helen Meier, one of our Freshmen,
spent Thanksgiving, in Hague with
her

Plaintiff Objects to Continuance.1
The jury which was in attendance
at the recent term of court will be
called back to Linton on Wednesday,
December 27th, at 9 o'clock in the
forenoon to try the personal injury
case of W. If. Frank vs. the Em
mons County Light and Power Com
pany, which was scheduled to be
*t the recent term
of court, and which was not
heard because F- J. Pietz, for the de
fendants, filed an affidavit of prejudice
against Judge Allen. The Supreme
Court designated Judge Berry, judge
of the Sixth Judicial District, of Man
dan, to try the ease, but Judge Allen
dismissed the jury when his other jury
cases were taken care of. The plain
tiffs attorney then secured ah order
from Judge Berry directing Clerk of
Court Wagher to reconvene court on
the date mentioned above, and to re
call the jurymen in attendance at
that term. This order was backed
up by an order of the Supreme Court
sustaining Judge Berry's action.
Attorney J. \K. Murray, of Mott,
is attorney for the plaintiff, W. H.
Frank, who is suing for injuries sus
tained when he came in contact
with a live wire while working for
the defendant company on their wires

HAVE YOU PAID THE PRINTER?
During the past week we have sent
statements of subscription account to
those of our readers who are more
than a year behind. While our list
is very well paid, up, we still have a
number who asked last year for more
time to pay. The subscription price
is a comparatively small amount, but
hundreds of them mean a goodly sum
to the printer. We have tried to be
as-easy on collections as possible.
However, the first of the year we will
drop the names of those who are more
than a year .behind and who have
neither paid nor made arrangementa
to pay. Such names will then be
turned oVer to a collection agency. It
is the onJy way we can tell where we
are atL' The large dailies cut their
subscribers off the list the very day
their paid-in-advance. subscription
expires. We do not attempt to main
