A. Thiessen is quite creditable as a "first attempt" However the honorable judge overlooked a few things which are important parts in his scenario. Even so, it is really a much better literary effort than we had expected. We pass over his introduction without criticism, it being a fairly good imitation of hot air, and, going to Part One of the 1 story proper, we will say that the first is true as far as the author went but, as we said before, he left out two-thirds of the impor tant facts. As this will be up for the decision of the court next week wo will say no more about it until that decision is made when it will be thoroughly explained.. We will 6ay here, however, that the judge knows no more about the ' cost of pro during printed material than we do about the most difficult bit of surgery, hence his inability to pass upon printing bills with any degree of fairness. He next erred in saying that the case now up had been once thrown, out of court. It was not It was with drawn on account of improper service. The next sentence in dited by the budding literary genius, referring to "blow that killed father," is where the hu man, interest element, so neces sary to a successful story, is brought into play. In referring tothe appointment of the official paper the first of this year, the judge says that "the Globe refused to swear that its list was genuine and that the Times had a sworn statement in accordance with the require ments of law." This is one of the deepest parts of the author's plot The law does not ; re quire the publisher of , a news paper, asking the appointment as official paper to file a sworn statement of circulation .when application is made. Rather the law says that in case of a contest Memorial Services Sunday Services will be held in the Congregational church next Sun day . morning and evening. Come,- Sunday School at 10 a m, preaching at 11 a m and 8.00 pm. Special music in evening. Pastor R. M, Jones will occupy the pulpit morning and evening. Topics Memorial Sermon.and Creat growth from small begin WHEAT CITYl leach day. It is probab'e that the Knights of Columbus ball team will be here ' from Portland to play the local team. There will be the usual- minor sports and a big dance each night Mayer Burns is in charge and this goes far toward insur ing a successful celebration. for the appointment the court shall notify the applicants and set a day, on or before which Sworn statements shall be filed. This the court failed to do but appointed the Times without fur ther notification to the Globe. One could hardly expectanything else, however, after the Globe had, by reviewing the couit assailed the dignity of the judge. Thiessen then rambles on to the effect that the Times agreed to publish the tax lists for ten cents per square while the Globe had charged fity cents. The Times ha3 published the lists at 10c per square but it doas not follow that it is a fair rate by any means. A farmer may plow another's field for 10c per acre but that does not mean that other farmers must be as foolish. : ' In Part Two, regarding the lining of the jail, the judge gets behind the grand jury. It makes no difference to the Globe how many times this was recom mended, it still remains in our view a needless expenditure qf the taxpayers' money. ' Now while the judge, who has chosen to style himself as a bur glar alarm, is still in the literary mood we would ask him where the burglar alarm wa3 when the Interior WarihouseCo., of wh'c'.i he is local manager, . received a county warrant for $830 for posts? Where has this sime alarm been during the last six months when $30,000 of the taxpayer's money have been expended on. roads? Where was this same alarm when the contract was given - to. one man to erect a county bridge across the John Dsiy without ask ing for compatitive bids? Where was the alarm when a county warrant was' drawn several weeks ago to pay for this bridge when there hn't a slick of tim ber on the ground as yet? There have been false alarms. Even vaunted burglar alarms, adver tised as effective, have been known to fail miserably at cer tain time. 1. - At the Memoral Service there will be" special music, Star Spangled Banner, Mrs. J.F.
