tested against the levy of this tax
against the city on the ground that it
was an unlawful one. District Attor-
ney Drury agreed with the city attor-

to have the fund for the support of the
county school board assessed against
the towns and not against the city. All

The closing of the board session was

other thanks to members of the board
were adopted unanimously.
The session has been notable in many
ways, but most notable on account of
the fact that the machinery was put

great deal to carry the influence of the
school into the home.
Home work under the plan proposed
by the superintendent is directly con
nected with school work and credit is
given to the pupils for work done at
home in the same manner that it is
given for work done III school.
Under the plan the mother and faith
er of the child become teachers and
the child is given credits for work dom
under their supervision and the child
who does this work well will be en-
titled to an engrossed certificate of
merit. Credits are to be given to the
pupils as a result of each week of
work and every department of home
life enters into the schedule of credits.

kitchen stove at home in the morning
is entitled to one credit for each time
he does it; the little girl who gathers
the eggs about the barn is entitled to
one point toward the roll of honor and

The men employed in the factory of
the United Refrigerator company who
had shown some anxiety as to the col
lection of wages due to them will have
something to be thankful for Thursday

this morning issued checks for the pay
ment of all claims of men who had
been employed in the factory. These
checks are issued on local bank and
funds have been deposited to cover all
of them. These checks do not include

WHY Mrs. Frog Must
Live i'm the SWamps

instead OF sleeping as she should.
Soon she began TO neg lcct the ram
fall, and also stopped spinning flax
for the fairies. And all her days
were spent in sleeping.
Terrible disaster began to come
upon the land. All the birds and
plants were dying for water. Clouds
passed by, but Mrs. Frog was too
lazy to make the rain fall. If she
wasn't dancing she was sleeping,
and so no time was left for her du-
ties.
One day the animals from the for
est began to call on Mrs. Frog, and
plead for rain The mother rabbits
came from long distances to tell
Mrs. Frog how their babies were
rcrishing for water and for tender
bits of green grass. But Mrs. Frog
had become hardened and told them
to leave her alone.
please give us rain! Please give
us rain" The birds all pleaded, but
Mrs. Frog only frowned at having
been awakened.
Then came all the bees and butter
flies from the hillsidcs, tired, hot,
and dusty: we arc your ncighbors
and friends" they cried, do give us
rain, for the flowers arc all dead and
We have no honey to cat!'
Go away" croaked Mrs. Frog. 81
must sleep during the day, and ]
lave no time to worry with you! II
you don't like the way | manage
these hillsidcs, go to the swamp
lands"
Next came the fairies for their
yellow dresses which Mrs Frog was
to have spun from the yellow fax.
Mrs. Frog was last asleep, but after
they called and called her she awoke.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and
awakened all the family to help her
spin the flax, but the sun was so hot
that all her spinning wheels caught
OH fire and everything in her house
was burned up.
"Oh, for a drop Of water' all the
birds and animals we're calling
Help us, Mrs. Frog, do help us"
But it was too late Even Mrs.
Frogs wand with which she called
forth the rain from the clouds was
burned up. And Mrs. Frog was so
terribly hot and thirsty she didn't
know what TO do.
As a last resort, she started for
the swsmplands, but she had already
grown so tired and thirsty that she
could not walk upright, and was
forced to hop. Down, down, down,
she hoped, until she reached the
damp. muddy swamps. Here she
has lived to this day, and every night
one may hear her calling:

r ONG, long ago, Mrs. Frog
lived upon the hillsides. And
she and her family were very
happy. This was in the days when
she spun yellow fax for the iairie'

one loved Mrs. Frog, and she was
always doing kind things for them
Mrs. Frog held very important
position: because of her kindness
and industry she was made goddess
of the sun. And power was gwen
her TO cause the rain TO iall and inc

was told she must always be careful
