Gallup, N. NJ. March 2s.-The in

The two unabridged arroyos are on

alleged that there has been money

INFLUENZA SITUATION
is SERIOUS AGAIN

Despite the fact that the State
Board of Health's report for the week
ending Jan. II showed only SO cases
Of influenza within the Parish of JEFF
ferson Davis, the situation has he
come so serious that the local an
thorities have determined it wise to
place the ban on public gatherings
This move was taken with the hone
OF queIling the spread of the disease
before 1t gains too strong foothold
During the previous epidemic the
early placing of the ban on public
gatherings appeared to have the de-
slider effect in checking the spread
of the disease.
There are a great many cases of La
Grippe in the community which are
being mistakenly called influenza,
it very hard for the layman
to determine just how much influenza
is really present.
A proclamation issued by Mavor
Armstrong on the 18th effects the
closing of schools, churches, theatres
and places the ban on all public
gatherings or congregations.

DAUTELS RETIRE FROM
DRAY AND TRANSFER

There have been great many
changes in the business conduct of
the community during the past week
and one of the most important of
these is the dray and transfer bust

passed from the ownership of Messrs
Chas. and L. H. Dautel to C. L. Davis,
Mr.. Davis having purchased the bust
ness and a part Of the equipment of
the Dautels.
Mr. Davis has been engaged in

time to look around before engaging
in any business. They entered the

SAM PLAYS BALL.

Twas the last half of the fatal ninth
With Sammy at the bat,
The allies bunch were staggering
And scarce knew where they were at
The game stood seven to eight
In favor Of Kaiser Bill,
, But Sammy just picked up the Dat
And swung it with a will.
The game had been a long one
And the players WERE Neil t1Yed,
For Bill was maxim" all Sorts Of
curves
And all sorts Of balls were firing.
He had practiced this game for forty
years
And his players were seasoned men,
So he said 81 can beat the world
this time
And won't have to do it again."
With his famous cold Big Bertha"
lie was pitching wide and wild;
Some times he would hit a hospital
Or kill woman or child.
lie did not play according to Hoyle"
Or any established rules,
But changed the game as he went
along
AS though all the world were fools.
He wanted to bat the whole darn time
And umpire the game as well,
And if any one disagrees with him
He told them to go to hell. Ggoland)
1t looked like he had the penant won,
1t seemed like dead sure cinch,
Till the allies called in a player
named Sam
That they had been holding back for
a pinch.
He was pretty raw, for he had not
trained
For this particular game,
And likely never would have been
called
If Russia had not gone lame.
Now the other fellows were about
call in"
And their tongues were lolling out,
When Sammy began his warming up
And got ready for the bout
Some of the boys were afraid of his
style,
For fear he would stumble and fall;
But the first time he swung his bat
He hit the gol-darned ball.
He made fair hit over the fence
And broke up the Germans game,
And the Kaiser ducked for Holland
And the generals did the same.
Now we can not give Sam ALL the
credit
For beating the dirty Hun,
For the other players had tired
Bills arm
And Sammy made a clean home run.
The British boys and the French
Poilu
And the Italians boys from Rome.
Canadians and Australians,
With Sam brought the "bacon home"
Now Foch bossed the whole caboodle
Of men of everywhere;
If they get the peace terms fixed all
right
Let's forget "who killed the bear"
Well praise the British and the
French,
And the man from Canada,
Italians, Scotch, Australians,
And the "good old U. S. A."

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

a careful survey of the records for
the past six weeks will show that the
attendance last week was unusually
good. The average percentage of at
tendance for the entire school was
above normal and even Saturday
showed no indications of an enforced
closing down Of the school. The rec
ora for last week follows: First grade,
$50; second 92.6; third 9O.4; fourth
1913; fifth 92.9; sixth 9O.4; seventh
93.2; High school 94.3; School COS.
The percentage of attendance for
the past month was only Sc per cent.
Last weeks attendance was far
above the average in the State and
exceedingly pleasing to school Of
ficials.
But notwithstanding the attend
ance was high, the authorities thought
best for the school to close and acted
according to their best judgment. We
can never tell just what may happen.
The worst may be yet to come. All
parents should cooperate heartily
with the local authorities and keep
the children off the streets thereby
preventing the quarantine from being
placed on each home.
The school realized $10.4O from
"America's Answer" show given
under the auspices of the school on
New Years night. Had it not been
for the rain we would have had full
house. We were glad to clear ex-
penses. Those who came enjoyed the
show and contributed to the support
of the school. The Principal wishes
to thank every one who came. We
regret very much that the weather
was bad and many failed to see the
show.
Miss Sutton left school Thursday
sick and did not return to work Miss
Moran says she is "Flu" proof. |
heard Monday morning she was sick.
Perhaps she has LaGrippe.
State Supt. Harris writes that no
mid-year examination questions will
be sent out from his office this year,
that any pupil who studies subject
throughout the year, not counting
the time lost on account of the en-
forced closings of school, will be
given unit credit, that mid-year
should come at the time it would have
come had there been no epidemic,
and that first half year subjects
should be continued about one month
after mid-year. According to in
structions the second half of the year
begins Monday, Jan. 20, 1919. Sec
ond half year subjects should be
started as soon as practicable after
school reopens.
There is some question as to just
when school will reopen School will
reopen just as soon as conditions are
improved so that the authorities can
feel justified in giving out the Or
der. Pay no attention to current re-
ports. Wait for orders.
Yours to serve,
VIM. A. McGUFF. Principal.
