The New Team Making Good.

Two games out of three played
is the record of the Tabor nine,
under the new organization, dur
ing the past week. The first
game lost to Yankton last Thurs
day was on the rankest kind of err
ors. The second game played at
Avon last Sunday was won easily
and Avon was outclassed from
start to finish. The score by inn
ings: #
Tabor 3 8 1s01O Oh
Avon 0 90 1 0 2 0 0 0-3
The third game was the best of
all. Our boys went down to Tyn-
dali and got Tyndall's goat in one
of the classiest games ever wit
messed. It is allthe more crafty
ing by reason of Tyndall being
known as a hard team to beat.
The score by innings:
Tabor 90 5000 5-5
TyndalI 0 0 900 % IA

les were Sky and Eiffert for Tab

Some interesting remains OF an old

during alterations to Cromwell House
the site of the birthplace of Oliver
Cromwell, at Huntingdon, England,
The remains include the base of a wall
with parts OF two doorways The
foundation Of a large chimney stack
has been found, and in one hearth
ashes still remained, The house is
believed to have been founded BY the

whIstlInu for Heath.

A doctor has discovered that whist
ling is good for the health. 1t fills the
lungs with invigorating oxygen, and
this revivihes tagging spirits and
habby muscles. Boys are prone to be
broader-chested than girls and better
constructed for deep muscular tones
because OF the lung exercise which ac-
companies whistling, and one OF the
nrst things they try to do when they've
passed babyhood il to whistle.

County School Notes.

The work of checking over the
annual reports of the various
school districts has been moving
steadily forward the past week.
Thirty districts have their reports
all filed correctly. Several more
have been submitted but we were
forced to return them to the
school officers because of certain
errors which needed correction.
In nearly every case where re-
ports had to be returned it is due
to the fact the officers include
business transacted in the district
after Jyly LIST of the current year.
Burl j. Hall writes from Min
neapolis to inquire concernig the
Teachers Institute. He plans to
teach in Bon Homme County
again this year.
Tyndall has an organization that
it can well be proud of. II is
known as the Ladies Improvement
Club and among other things this
club has been promoting, is Rest
Room where strangers and other
people who are waiting for depart
ing trains or to meet friends may
enter and pass away the tedious
hours enjoying themselves over q
good book or magazine. 1t was
only last week q teacher was pass
ing thru Tyndall and was obliged
to stay in town over eight hours.
She found the Rest Room a very
profitable place to spend the day,
especially since she was a stranger
in the town. The Ladies have a
great number of books which they
loan out to lovers of reading.
The second grade Teachers Exa
mination occurs on Thursday and
Friday OF this week.
At this season when teachers
are being employed for the year,
we are often asked for advise
upon the subject of contracts. An
oral contract is as much binding
as o written one, provided it
comes within the provision of the
law. No contract is binding upon
q school district unless the teach
ers holds valid certificate. A
contract made by two members of
the Board witha teacher is bind
ing. A school month is twenty
days, school week is five days
and school day is Eve and one
half hours, exclusive of intermis-
sion. Where school boards do
not specify time to the contrary
b
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1914-07-23

the hour of beginning is nine
O'Clock and the closing hour is
four O'Clock. The practice OF
teaching on Saturday should be
discouraged.
Joseph Cihak, the newly elected
clerk in District No. "a was in the
Office last week to getra few point
ers on the manner of fulfilling
his duties. We do not have any
roster of ages for our school officer
but we will wager that Mr.. Cihak
is the youngest officer in the coun-
ty.
Henry Kiehlbauch, clerk elect
Of District No. Is, has served his
community a great number of
years in the capacity of a school
district officer, both as chairman
and treasurer, and now in order
that his round of service may be
completed, his neighbors have
elected him to serve them as dis
trict clerk. +|
At this time of the year when
housewives are much worried over
the, great number of flies that
come streaming in to their kitchen
and dining rooms, carrying with
them all manner of filth and di-
sease from the fields and barnyard
and they are at o loss to know how
to destroy this nuisance, it would
be well to call their attention to a
good formula offered by the State
Board of Health. 1t consists in
mixing one pint of milk, one pint
of water, one tablespoonful of for
malin and one table spoonful of
sugar. This is a poison and should
be kept out of reach of children
and domestic pets. A good way
is to put the solution in a small
pail and hang to the porch ceiling,
a near by post, or any place near
where flies assemble in any num-
Der.

The state insurance department
proposes TO strictly enforce q le-
gislative enactment of of 1911 in
regard to threshers filing security
for losses from FIRE which may be
started by their machines. The
law requires thresher operators to
secure and file eether a bond in
the sum of $500 or an insurance
policy in some authorized insur-
ance company. Such surety
against less is to be fled with the
clerk of courts in the county in
which the operator resides, in case
he is a resident of the state, or
with the state auditor in case Of
nonresident. The department
holds that failure or refusal on
the part of threshing machine op-
orators to file this security leaves
them without any standing in
court in an effort to collect on a
threshing bill. The penalty for
failing or refusing to file such Sc
curity is fixed at $500 The de-
partment announces that it will
prosecute any violations brought
to its attention.
