TO BE HELD IN VARIOUS
COUNTIES

In a letter to the school principals
of the county, Principal Van Horne,
of Sikeston, proposes a big county
athletic meet to include all the town
schools of the county, to be given
at Sikeston on April 18th. The pro-
position will meet with the favor of
everyone of the principals, it is pre-
dicted. Mr.. Van Hornes letter to
the principals is in part as follows:
"ln order to promote athletics and
good fellowship between the schools
of Scott County and at the same time
give the schools of the county an
equal chance of winning in the ath-
letic contest, the Sikeston schools are
inviting all the schools Of the county,
doing part high school work, to enter
county track meet, to be held on
April 18th at Sikeston The following
schools are invited to compete against
the Sikeston schools: Morley, Blod-
gett, limo, Chaffee, Oran, Benton,
Fornfelt, Vanduser, and Commerce.
athletics is one of the phases
of school life, that adds interest to
other school work; keeps more boys
in school until their courses are
finished; at the same time it will
give those students who are prepar-
ing for the track meet at Cape Girar-
deau or Columbia experience and
training. A meet Of this kind would
doubtless be Of interest to you and
your pupils. 1t will help get up
interest and enthusiasm for the Cape
meet"
Prizes will be awarded for the diff
ferent events and the rules and events
include those used in the Southeast.
No high school is the Third Nor

than the Perryville High School. This
High School has been out for a good

it will take some hustlers to beat US

or our Freshmen, not in training
and wearing heavy shoes and clothes,
had no trouble in clearing the bar
at #. 8 inches, in the high jump.
Another little fellow, about the third
day he had ever seen a discus,
threw it 7S feet. The enthusiasm
which every school requires to keep
the boys interested and working is
very great.

Mr.. Harkness said the original blow
ers employed in the factory were Bo-
hemlanS. The glass manufactured by
them. he said, achieved a very high
reputation and was in much demand.
He said there were some very prosper
Gus years, but that there were also
seasons of depression, when the works
would shut down. He said the glass
house settlement and its surroundings
and outlook were very attractive and
interesting.

But George Ways health failed and
he died about the year 1920, from
which time the works maintained a
checkered existence. They were sold
for debt in 1929 to the Bank of the
United States. after which they were
operated by different parties as ten
ants of that bank-Cornelius Mclean,
sr.: Lewis Johnson & Co. and F. Stin-
ger.
"In July, 1888. the Bank of the United
States sold the factory to Commodore
John Rodgers, who devised it to his
widow, who owned it until 1881, when
she sold 1t to Charles L. Coltman-
