COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS
By o. e. Rice, County Supt.

Before this issue of the county paper
reaches it's readers, doubtless every
locality and school board will have
learned of the order from the State
Board of Health directing the closing
of all schools, churches, Libraries, pub
lie assemblies, pool halls, ETC., for an
indefinite period, or until public notice
is given for resumin2. A considerable
number of schools closed on the 10th
and 18th, owing to the alarming spread
of the Spanish influenza, deeming it a
wise and necessary precaution to do
everything possible to check the spread
of the serious malady.

BooNE'S LONG SWING
Pursued by indians, He Cut Grapevine
Near Ground and Sailed Far
Enough to Break Track

Do you remember reading In one
of the school histories about how the
doughty Daniel Boone, when pursued
by Indians on his way TO the unknown
wilderness of Kentucky, cut a grape
vine near the ground so that it formed
swing upon which he Travelled
through the air far enough TO break
his track? If you read il, you prob
ably thought it q bit fishy, writes
Niksah. Unless you live somewhere
in the Allegheny mountains you would
not believe that wild grapevines are
long enough or strong enough or hold
onto the trees tight enough to make
much of a swung.
AS Il matter Of fact, there Is no rea-
son to doubt that Daniel made the
swing and got away from the Indians
For in the mountains Of western Mary
land and eastern West Virginia, across
which Daniel took his hazardous way,
the boys are still making such swings
just for fun And royal fun il is The
writer was driving through the noun
tainS near the upper Potomac when he
saw some enormous grapevines drOOP-
ing so or 40 feet from the tops OF tie
trees. They had been cut close TO
the ground, and the hillside above
them was all pIowed up by the feet Of
youngsters
The temptation to try the Daniel
Boone stunt was as irresistible. 1t was
quickly proved that by taking a run
ming start down the hill one could
swing a most amazing and breath-tak-
ing distance right out over the creek.
Swings made with ropes were tame by
comparison. But there was no tempta-
ton to emulate Daniel by letting loose
at the end of the swing 1t took
pioneering nerve to do that

Hnw He Got His Men.

One of the best-knOwn sales mana
gers in the knit goods field makes il
point of never directly approaching
salesman who he thinks would fit into
his organization His reason, OBJ
serves an exchange, is that when this
is done the latter is inclined TO get
s'sweIled head" and thereby lose q
good part OF his value. As this mana
gers concern pays its men entirely on
a commission basis, the question OF
earnings plays no part in his meth
DDS Of hiring. When an opening comes
and he has a man in mind to I'LL it, the
manager gets in touch with a buyer
he knows well and asks him to sug-
gest to the prospective employee that
he might find something interesting If
he dropped in to see the - people
The whole process is. of course, con-
fidential, for If the buyer were to give
the plan away its effectiveness would

maid, fresh from the old country. She
asked the girl TO take the baby out in

before and from her articula:e joy one
might think that she had waited for
this moment all her life. Mrs h was
pleased to see that the girl was so will
ing. The baby was wrapped up and
they started. Two minutes later Mrs
ii. looked out Of the window and her
face froze with horror. Instead Of
rolling gently down the sidewalk the
way Il baby should her child was being

Personality of Your Hall.

The aspect OF the hall should afford
a cheerful yet reserved introduction TO
the rest OF the house.
a hall has many definite functions
TO perform. 1t should not. only serve
as an attractive waiting room but
should also give ready access to the
main room of the house Homes
should never be so badly planned that
some rooms are accessible only through
others.
Halls should always be somewhat
formal, for they are intended for the
use OF strangers and acquaintance as
well as friends and relatives. Just how
formal ones home entrance should be
depends largely upon whether the
structure is in the city or country
The interests and manner OF living Of
the occupants also have much to do
with this.

Gordon, as he watched from n little

This man had passed the thirties. He

superbly that his whole bearing denied
that years could touch his splendid
physique.

to talk with an old acquaintance. but
when the boat threw out a warning
signal he made a hurried gOodby and
came on board. He rejoined Elliot.
