Labor Day, Monday,
THE MINERAL POINT PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

The Board of Education is unanimous
in. its desire to carefully safeguard the
health of all school children while they
attend the public schools of our city.
ALI furniture, but especially school
desks, accumulate great deal of dirt.
After investigating the condition of the
school seats, especially the under side.
it was decided to thoroughly renovate
and cleanse them.
This was done last week by the Cas-
mire Process, under the direction of Mr.
D. E. Hamilton Of Kansas City. The
Casmire Process not only removed all
varnist and paint but also germ laden
filth and dirt that had accumulated.
The desks were first dipped into tank
containing the remover and then wash
ed with an ordinary scrubbing brush by
the aid of stream of clean water.
The desks are being stained and var
nished by Mr. Bray and his force of
men. They look almost as good as new
seats But best of all, they are free
from the germs and should help to pro-
tect the students health and lives and
should promote the habit of cleanliness.
Owing to the unavoidable delays in
having the desks refnished, it has been
found necessary to delay the opening of
both the grade and high schools till
Monday, September 8.

NIX ON TOBACCO HABIT

Special to The St. Johns Herald.
 St. Johns, Ariz., Dec 3.-The patrons of the St. Johns Stake Academy are glad of the strong action taken by the school in re- gard to the use of tobacco, and the standard of scholarship as a requirement for participation in the inter-scholastic athletics.
 Two of the best basket ball men were knocked off the team for the St. ,Jehns-Snowflake game because they were ot..up to standard in. scholarship. Since the Snowflake game three more of them men have been knocked of the team on account of the use of tobacco.
 At the present time it is not known whether these men will be able to make the team again or not but strong substitutes are be- ing worked up and St. Johns has a very good chance to win oyer the Snowflake aggregation next Saturday on the St. Johns campus.
 In spite of the fact that part of the men were disqualified MT. Smith felt confident that St. Johns would have won the game at Snowflake had not part of the men been left on the road on ac- count of bad weather.

SCHOOL MEET.

Special to the St. Johns Herald.
 St. Johns, Ariz., Dec. 3.-The basket ball game between St. Johns Stake Academy and the Snowflake Academy on November 29th was one of the best played games and one, of the hardest fought in the athletic history of | the two schools. Due to the fact that some of the men: of the St. Johns aggregation wesekleft on the road in a snoWstorm, the Snowflake bunch was able to nose out ahead. At the end of the first half of the game the score was even: 17-17. The final score was 23-33 in favor of the Snow flake Stake Academy,
 The Snowflake bunch were good sports and played a high class clean game throughout.
 The return game will be played on the campus of the St. Johns Academy next Saturday. Decem- Der 9th at 200 o'clock p. m. This promises to be one of the most
 t.7 interesting games ever played here.
 The two schools also met in girls and boys volley ball. St. Johns surprised Snowflake and almost surprised themselves by taking both of these games. They were hard fought and close, both teams doing nigh class work. Miss Lucy Hall of the St. Johns team was the star payer among the girls, of both teams. Aikens Smith of the Snowflake team was possibly the star among the boys.
 The two return games in volley ball will be played in Academy Hall at St. Johns next Saturday night, December 9th, at 7:30 pm.
 On account of the weather the tennis tournament was not held at Snowflake. But both Singles and Doubles will be played here next Saturday at 1000 in the morning on the Academy Campus.
