SCHOOLS GET MONEY
LARGE AMOUNT SENT OUT BY SU-
PERNTENDENT.
Many Rural Schools Are Helped by
the Fund Which Was Borrowed by

the Fund Which Was Borrowed by
the State.
J. E. Swearingen, State superin'
tendent of education, Monday paid
out s31,645 State aid Of 1875 high
schools in IL counties. Warrants
were mailed to the several county
treasurers and motives addressed to
the county superintendents of educa-
ton and each board Of district trus-
tees.
Sixty-three rural graded schools in
II counties received s13.900.94. All
of these schools are located in rural
districts, or in incorporated places
with less than 800 population. A dis
trict levying a four-mills tax, en-
ploying two teachers and running It's
schools six monts receives $500
State aid. A district levying four
mill tax EMPLOYING three teachers
and running the school seven months
receives $500.
Fifty-eight such schools received
aid last November, and hence were
not entitled to additional assistance
this spring. The rural graded school
law has, therefore, benefited III
communities during the current
scholastic year. Any school entitled
to share in it's benefits may renew its
application as soon as the require
ments of the law are met after the
opening of the session this fall, dur
ing the next scholastic year, 1913
IA.
State aid was also granted to 56
districts in 10 counties under the
term extension act for weak schools.
The amount paid these 56 schools
was S4,S34.62.
In each instance the district shar-
ing in high school aid and term ex-
tension aid levies a local tax OF two
mills and receives from the State as
much as this tax raises up to 500
term extension aid. A considerable
number of claims are yet to be filed
from many counties.
The library aid will be paid out
within the next ten days.
The rural graded school applica-
tions, term extension applications
and library acquisitions were paid out
of the 100000 recently borrowed for
school purposes. The balance OF this
loan will be exhausted within the
next few weeks.

him the successful candidate. His

Mr.. W. J. Bruorton ran against

in the primary defeated him by a
vote OF 7se to 761. There was no
contest in this case. Mr.. Bruorton
has been patiently awaiting the re-
ceipt of his commission in order that
he might enter upon the duties OF
the Office. Long patience bringing no
reward, he addressed an inquiry to
Gov. Blease asking him the direct
question as to when he might expect
the appointment, to which the FOL

VINTAGE OF 1912 ABUNDANT
Year Just Ended to Rank High in Red
Letter Annals of the Trade in
France and Algeria.

Paris.-The vintage of 1912 in
France and Algeria, according to re-
ports just issued, is much superior to
that of 1911, both in quantity and quail
ity. The wine of 1911 was very in
ferior, due to the lack of warmth dur
ing the late summer and autumn. At
the beginning of the present season
wine growers predicted an excellent
crop of grapes, and their predictions
seem to have been we'll founded.
The vintage of 1912 amounted to
59,339,035 hectoliters. Algeria pro-
duced $751; ,1S1 hectoliters. Adding
the stock left over from 1911 in both
France and Algeria, total Of $780,
GA hectoliters is reached. The 1911
vintage was only $780, ,73O hectoliters.
In the SO departments of France
there are only nine in which there are
no vineyards. They are the Calvados,
Cotes du Nord, Finistere, Manche,
Nord, Orne, Pas de Calais, Seine In
ferience and the 'Somna. Several 9TH
ers, it is true, had but small crops.
The department which leads all the
others is the Herault, in the Midi, pro-
ducing 14,064,907 hectoliters. The
Aude, a neighboring department,
comes next, with 5,265,562 hectoliters.
Thus 1912 like 1904 or 1900, is like
ly to become one of the red-letter
years for wine.

MAN BARKS FOR 27 YEARS
Nervous Affliction Results From His
Being Hit by Bat at Ball
Game.

delphia-Frederick Saunders
of Shamokin, Pa, was brought to the
Medico-C -Chirurgical hospital here to be
cured of a nervous trouble that for
twenty-seven years has caused him to
bark and yelp like dog and paw the
ground with his feet. He otherwise is
sane.
Saunders was stricken when seven
years old. Like most boys he had a
mania for baseball. One day when
Jack" Stivetts, once a famous pitch
er with the Boston Nationals, was
playing in a game at Ashland, Pa, the
bat slipped from Stivetts' hands. 1t
struck Saunders on the left eye,
knocking him unconscious. When he
revived several minutes later he
started to bark and yelp like a dog
and speak with convulsive movements
and never has recovered.
Saunders talks in soft tones. Sud
denly, however, his voice will break
into series of barks and yelps, his
feet paving the ground. When the
attacks, which occur every few min
utes, are over he continues his con-
versation where it was broken off,

PASTOR TO BE UNDERTAKEN
Or. Leavitt Of San Francisco Says He
VIII Try to DlspeI Some of tho
Gloom of Death.

San Francisco, Cal-Rev. Dr. Brad
ford Leavitt, one of the best known
clergymen Of San Francisco, has re-
signed his pastorate of the First Uni
tartan church of this city to become
an undertaken. Doctor Leavitt made
this announcement, saying he had
been compelled to abandon the minis
try on account of weakness of the
eyes, and that he was entering the un-
dertaking profession in the hope of
"dispelling its atmosphere Of supersti-
ton and gloom, which we have inher-
tied from the heartless and sometimes
heather methods and ideas of the
past"
In a letter addressed to his congre-
cation he explained in detail his rea-
sons for the change
There is something barbaric in our
Doctor Leavitt. The Chinese are far
more civilized in this am aversf
the darkening of houses, the pulling
down of blinds and the general NOR
bid atmosphere that is affected in
house stricken by death. We know
there is no cause for mourning. There
is glory in death that we cloud by
abhorrent formalities, which may be
easily avoided without diminishing the
dignity and the solemnity of funeral
rites. And above all, it is something
that can be altered by very little ef-
fort"
