Porter was affirmed in the supreme court today. In its decision the su- preme court held that the lower court did not exceed its judicial dis-| setting aside the verdict} cretion in and ordering « new trial. Burgett was awarded a verdict for service when Porter failed to con- the case. Later Porter filed ap- ation for a re-hearing on the ground that he made a mistake as to the date of the action and also that he had lost the papers in the case. His application was granted and the plaintiff appealed to the supreme court on the ground that the court had abused its powers of discretion in re-opening the case. — I Weather Report | Temperature at 7 a. m.

D., Oct. Efforts to obtain more dignified pub- licity for the work that women’s clubs are doing was recommended to the state convention here of the North Dakota Federation of Women's Clubs by Mrs, F, H. Waldo, Minot, press chairman for the organization. Women's clubs are not ‘golden gossip societies” but organizatiors which do a really worthwhile work and aid in promoting their own com- munities,” Mrs. Waldo said. She urged that women’s clubs make more effort to inform the public of what they are doing for the follow- ing reasons: “1, Help in advancing community work by increasing our prest ige. “ “2. Inspire others. “3. Put North Dakota on the map intellectually.” 20,000,000 CATHOLICS Chicago—The 1925 edition of the Catholic Press Directory gives the number of Catholics in the United States as 20,788,447.
