CHANGES IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS FORBIDDEN BY COURT DECISION c - EATON, O., July 2. Court of appeals has" reversed Judge Barnes, of Sidney, in. the J. E. Flora-I. M. Biddinger and Freddie Locke-J. W. Shively Injunction cases against the board of education of Preble county and the plaintiffs are decreed all relief sought. The decision, which was received here Friday at the office of Clerk of Courts V. O. Rookstool, was rendered by Judge J. I. Allraed and was concurred in by Judges Ferneding and Kunkle. ' The decision is regarded as one of importance to county boards of education operating under the centralized school plan. -: . The sojts against the board of education grew out of the board's iproposed creation of new school districts or territory, ene involving the Lanier township echool district and Casper township school district and the Lewisburg village 6Chool district and Harrison township-- district. Flora and Biddinger opposed the LanierCasper proposal and Locke and Shively the Lewisburg-Harrison township proposal. Temporary Injunction were issued by Judge A. C. Risinger in each instance. Wanted New District. The board sought to create, a new district from Lanier township, a permanent centralized dfstrict, and from two sub-districts from Casper township, the latter township & operating under the old sub-district school plan. The Lewisburg village district, centralized, was to be created a new district by reaching out and taking in sub-districts in, . Harrison township, operated under the old sub-district plan. ' "- - . : It was alleged- the board proceeded under two sections of the general code to accomplish tne -purpose, -one section

dealing with creation of new school territory and the other dealing with the transfer of school territory. , The appellate court opinion cites the two sections and opines that the legislature intended that they occupy separate fields. The referendum to the original act of 1914 is held by the court to be important. Both cases passed upon are declared by the cord to be similar. " - In the affected territory in Gasper township every "eligible signed a remonstrance against- the board's proposed action, while in Lanier school district there were no signers. Upon this ground the board held all the signers in Gasper township did not constitute a majority of the "affected territory." Flora and Biddinger alleged the Lanier school district is insolvent, with a high rate of school tax. and that the board proposed to make Gasper township help shoulder the burden, against its wishes. The plaintiff in the two suits against the board were, represented by Attorneys E. P. Vaughan and Harry L.

Risinger, while Attorney Hugh Gilmore represented the board.

VANDERER IS SANE, SAYS JURY VERDICT

(By Associated Pressl CHICAGO. July 2. Carl Wanderer, convicted of killing his wife, his unborn child, and a "ragged stranger," is sane, a jury in Judge David's court decided today.

Mail is delayed very often at the local postoffice by insufficient addresses on the envelopes according to

a statement issued by Postmaster Beck of the local office. This difficulty is experienced In every office in the states and could be avoided if the senders of the mail would be a little more careful about the addresses. ; The local office has two men who work daily on the directory mail at a Cost of $3,600 a year. Much of the delay in mail is caused by the negligency of the stenographers of various concerns in addressing the letters. The postoffice ' department has been working on this defect for years but very little improvement has been shown by the people in sending the mail. ', Not only do these insufficiently addressed letters mean added expense, which eventually finds its way to the taxpayer's pocketbook, but they cause 4elay in delivery. According to Postmaster Beck, letters which must be given directory service are delayed in delivery from two to twenty-four hours. . Postmaster General Will H. Hays in a communication addressed to all postmasters, has just requested them to emphasize the importance of addressing all mail to street and number. As one means to obtain thl3 end U is urged that all firm letterheads should bear the street address. '. It is also recommended that whenever possible the full name of the ad

dresses be given instead of merely tbe Initials. Furthermore, when addressing a letter to a building, it is advisable to Include the name of the street on which the building is located because in every city there are many buildings bearing names with which the distributors in the postoffice are unfamiliar. In sorting mail they are unable to throw the letter to the proper carrier if no street address is given. Another suggestion of the ppstoffice department is that the address of the writer should be placed in the center of every letter and a rettirn address should be written or printed in the upper left hand corner of every envelope placed in the mails.
