THEY CAN GET 81 EACH.
Superintendent to be Paid for Visiting
Each Room.

County superintendents OF Kansas
are to receive larger travelling allow
ances. Some of the superintendent
asked q. T. Fairchild, state superln.
tendent II the old ruling Of 81 ex.
Dense allowance for each school visit
ed still applied under the law passed
by the 1909 legislature requiring a
superintendent to spend a certain
time in each school room that he
visited.
When c. c. Coleman was attorney
general, he decided that the law al
lowed only 81 for a school, no mat
ter how many rooms were In the
school building.
Attorney General Jackson says in a
letter to State Superintendent Fair
child:
"This opinion was based upon a
somewhat technical definition Of the
word school and General Coleman
expressed himself as very much in
doubt as to the correctness Of his
view.
"Slnce then the legislature has
amended the statute relating to the
visiting OF school by q county super
intendent and has provided that the
county superintendent must spend a
certain time in each room or school
under the charge Of each teacher. It
has, therefore, made an apparent at
tempt TO define the word school and
to compel the county superintendent
to treat each room as a school In his
visits Of supervision in the county.
II am, therefore. Of the opinion
that there is no reason why the
county superintendent should not be
allowed the same compensation for
visiting each room maintained in q
school district as is allowed for Wis
itlng the ordinary district school. The
time required by the new statute
in each room is the same
and such requirement Of the statute
imposes an additional travelling ex-
pense upon him. It is my opinion
that each county superintendent
should be allowed 81 as travelling
expenses for visiting each room where
! teacher is employed"

an easy walk away for Abilene's high

and Hogan at third all played good
ball. s. Campbell, G. Nicolay, Kin
caid, O. Smith and J. Campbell In the

Harrington, Kan, March %. Tha
the ghost like form Of G. Borbach
formerly a wealthy man of this city
he appearing every evening at sun
down on the front porch Of the house
in which he died, is the sworn opin'
ion Of practically every citizen living
lin the west end Of IIerington.
| The ghost scare has become so gen.
eral that the neighbors in the vicinity
Of the house are living in their homes
lin horror and the vast traffic that
once came in over West Walnut street
has been shifted to other streets in
the city-the house, the neighbour
hood and this part Of the city is
stunned.
1t is said that white form, repre-
senting in every detail the profile and
features OF the late Mr.. Borbach APP
pears on the front porch of his for
mer home. The house is an odd affair
the front porch topped with huge
cone like tower. The house itself is
built in ghostly detail and IN It's situ-
alton upon the brow Of a steep hill, it
has caused CONSERVATION among the
people of the city.
At his death Mr.. Borbach was one
of the wealthy citizens of Harrington,
He came here In the early days whom
the Rock Island and the Missouri Pa
cific first built through the city. He
bought up considerable land at that
time and when the Rock island estab-
lished their large terminals in this
city the property was turned into
q fortune
Last summer Mr.. Borbach died. He
owned at that time many houses over
tie city and was considered wealthy. |
He lived in small but most queer
house on the hraW OF the WallSSl
street hill and for many years was a
well known iig e in this part Of the
city. He spent all Of his time in
warm weather on the front pore Z Of
The house smoking a large old ssy.e
pipe. His position on this porch,
the smoking of the pipe and the
general surroundings gave the place
a distinctive touch--and the tonSi
still remains.
The house has been vacant most of
the time since the death of the old
man. His sons have tried to live in
It but they declare openly that in, the
night they hear noises, and the door
10 the front porch will open as the
ghost Of the old man walks to his
customary seat, lights his pipe and
smokes.
All who have lived in the house
make the same statements and the
place is known as the Retreat Of
he Borbach Ghost" People who
rave passed the house during the
light, claim to have seen him on the
'orch. Peter Popp, general foreman
II the Hawley lumber interests in
his city, and sane business man de-
'lares that he has seen the ghost Of
he old familiar figure on the porch
many times. During the present
NJ onlighted nights many reports Of
he ghost have been given.

KEEPING THE CLOSET CLEAN
One Solution Of This Problem That
confronts Many 10 to Paint
Il White.

Usually there are about the house
closets so dark that except at the
yearly or semi-yearly housecleaning II
IL impossible to tell whether or NOT
they are dirty. They are breeders Of
disease. even in the best-managed
households, for no maid and few mis-
tresses win crawl into the dark hole
under the stairs or back in the kitchen
after perfectly invisible dust.
One solution of the problem 10 TO
paint these closets white. ceiling, moor
and walls. It is easy enough to see
dirt then. and the other and more use
full contents of the closet as WELL. II
one can keep the hall closet clean.
and fnd the family overshoe on sight.
simply by painting the closet white.
then. by all means, let US hasten to
the paintshop and remove the obsolete
and horrible wall paper that usually
incumbers these germ hotels.
II the closet is still dark after this
treatment, try cleaning with the aid
of the electric fashlight. There Is no
danger Of fire, and corners can be
closely investigated. All of which is
an advantage to the housewife who
does not love dirt and disorder.
But always. when cleaning day
comes. consider first the closets. and
most important of all Of these is the
sloping, dark. neglected closet under
the stairs.
