LINEVILLE SHCOOLS FINISH YEAR
The Lineville schools closed one of the most successful years in
the history of the school last week. Both parents and Board of
Education were well satisfied with the years' work. No strife or
dissatisfaction marred during the year. The largest class in the
history of the school consisting of twenty-six members, finished
the work and were graduated with all honors. The instructors are
very proud of this class, also of the large class of twenty-six
eighth graders who graduated into the high school.
The 8th grade gave a most entertaining program in the auditorium
on Friday afternoon while the Senior class play was given to full
houses Fri. and Sat. evenings in the auditorium. The play
entitled "Kicked out of College" was well acted out by
different members of the class. The play was well supplied with
laughable parts, especially Rolla Henry as a negro servant and
Miss Hazel Wilson as a negro maid, and Clair Lovett made up as a
---- blonde bride kept the audience con---lsed with laughter. The
lead was well carried out by Ivan Petty and Kid Bryan altho' a
heavyweight for police duties, acted the part of Jerry the cop.
Much credit for the success of this play as well as the 8th grade
program is due Miss Townsend of Chicago, IL who was employed to
train the students.
The different instructors in the school for the past year were
John Rutherford Ross, IA. Supt.; Mrs. Lillian Duden of Lineville,
principle; Ross Cram-tt of Selma, Ia, James Helm of Mystic, Ia.
Mrs. Mildred Kalem of Greenfield, Ia, Mary Ham---- pf Clinton, Ia
and Lila Frey-mouth of Muscatine, -------for the high school
----- The Members of the board at this time are; Jno. Rockey,
President; Lem Belvel, E. E. Calbreath and Tate May, I, M,
Lovett, members; and Mr. H. I. Harris, Treasurer; and A. N.
Harr-ing,Secretary.
F. and M. Bank Liquidates - Local Bank Placed in the
Hands of a Receiver
The Farmers and Merchants Bank of this place was placed in the
hands of a receiver Monday. E. E. Calbreath , well known
Lineville man was appointed by Judge Carter, at Corydon following
a meeting of the officers and directors of the bank. The officers
of the bank which is a private institution state that the
depositors will be paid in full. Reasons given for the action
taken are that following a poor crop year and the failure of many
other banks in this section, placed the condition of the bank
where that for the good of all invested the plan was deemed the
best and most economical. The appointment of Mr. Calbreath as
receiver is a good step as Mr. Calbreath is well acquainted with
the conditions of this section and is well known as a careful,
conservative business man. Otherwise, had the state appointed a
receiver they would have sent a manager here and -at-an added and
- unecessary expenses. The feeling of those most affected is one
of utmost confidence that the affairs of the bank will be handled
in a most satisfactory manner. Little or no excitement attended
the closing.
Called to Rochester, Minn
G. W. Molleston left Sunday morning for Rochester, Minn., where
word was received that his uncle, Glen Wright, former Lineville

Last Friday was called "Accident Day" by Dr. C. E.
Lovett. Local physician. On answering a call from the Ed
Marsengale home west of town, he found Mr. Marsengale's 13
year-old son badly cut about the head when a corn planter broke
down. Next a call from the George Rollins home near Ravanna where
Mr. Rollins' 19 year old son had received a bad cut on the leg
from an ax that he was using to trim hedge with. While there he
was called to a neighbor's house where the lady had mistaken a
bottle of Lysol for syrup of cascara. The lady and her family
were pretty badly scared. After relieving her Doc came back to
town and found that Hugh Vinzant had received a bad cut on his
forehead where the heavy spring scales used on his ice truck had
struck him. After getting Hugh fixed up Doc remarked that this
ought to be good territory for some live wire accident insurance
agent.
Free Show Draws Well - First Open Air Concert and Picture
Show Well Attended
A crowd running into thousands were in town Saturday night and
attended the free movie show and band concert in the city park.
Logan's Concert Band of fifteen pieces furnished some excellent
music which was kept going throughout a greater part of the show.
The pictures were excellent but were somewhat marred by many
delays and stops from time to time. Whether this was the fault of
the operators or machine, could not be learned, but the amusement
committee should find out and correct the trouble as it will be
hard to hold a crowd even at a free show with such delays. Alltho
the weather was cool, many people were in town until a late hour
and all business houses report a nice trade, especially the
Lineville Creamery, the total receipts of cream for the day
running over 400 gallons. This is indeed encouraged to Mr.
Brorby, manager of the Creamery. We believe that within a few
months this creamery will be running full time as almost to a man
the dairymen and business are behind it.

$400 for Two Dozen Hens
A record price was paid for two dozen hens one night last week we
are reliably informed. Some chicken thief while engaged in
pilfering a hen house a few miles north of town, lost a wallet
containing over $400. As only two dozen common Rhode Island hens
were taken, we believe that this is a record price. At any rate
the man who lost the chickens and found the money is not
complaining.

Mr. W. L. Avery, Lineville Iowa.
Cousin Bill:--
Don't suppose you will happen to be in Des Moines on the 15th of
June, do you? Dan and I will be with the Shrine Band of San
Antonio, returning from our 6000 mile trip, and our train will
stop in Des Moines two hours on that date, in the forenoon. I
think. From there we will come on down to Kansas City on the R.
I. But don't suppose the train will stop at Lineville, though one
can't tell always. Will be on the lookout for some of you folks,
anyway.
We leave San Antonio on the 28th of this month for Los Angeles,
then up the coast to Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver, then east
through Canada then down to St. Paul and from there to Des
Moines.
Would like to hear from you some time. Mother is here with us and
has very good general health. Runs all around over the country
with we boys. She takes in most everything going on, and has a
good time. We have been in the newspaper business here since Nov.
9, 1912 and have no cause to complain of business. Some averages
up pretty well and we have no kick coming.
How are Alice and Kate getting along? Would like to hear from all
the folks.
Tell us all the news. Your cousin, Walt G. Martin.

relatives here and in the surrounding country.-Editor.

former Lineville boy, now of Portland, Ore., came Sat. in
response to a message advising him of the serious illness of his
mother, Mrs. Still is somewhat improved at this time and hopes of
her continued improvement are given by her attending physicians.
This is Cleve's second visit home during 20 years and to say that
he is enjoying a visit with old friends, is putting it mildly.
Cleve is connected with a large auto supply house in Portland and
is doing well. As the writer and Mr. Still were formerly class
mates in the old brick school house some twenty five years ago,
we are having a great time reliving the good old days.
