YOUNG BOY IS
BADLY INJURED

Arthur Raymond, 12 years of age,
who lives on the Kinney road, South
Vernon, had his right leg broken last
evening about o'clock, as he was
getting into a buggy, preparatory to,
going to party at the home of one
of the neighbors.
One of the boys chums was in the
buggy holding the horse. For some
reason, as Arthur mounted the step,
the chum touched the spirited horse
with the whip. The horse jumped
and threw Arthur against the wheel,
forcing his right leg between the
spokes and the shaft. His leg was
broken about one inch above the knee
and the flesh terribly torn. He was
taken at once to the M. & s. sani.
tarium, where surgical, attention was
given.
At first it was believed that his leg
would have to be amputateG, but
owing to the fact that the blood cir
culation was not completely severed,
the doctors state today that his leg
can be saved.

Seeking Higher Wages, And
Better Working
Conditions
Strikers Are Awaiting a Con-
ference With Newark
Officials

Twenty-Five girls employed at the
]. f. Cherry Cigar Company, All w.
High street, went out on strike yes
terday afternoon. The girls are 9trik-
ing for higher wages and Tor better
working conditions.
All of tn girls employed in this
factory live in Mount Vernon. 1t was
stated this morning by one of their
number that conditions in their fac
tory here were such that they could
not continue working longer. Mod
ern factory sanitation is needed. They
claim that the wage scale under
which they are working is below that
in other cities and far too low for
them to cope with the high cost of liv-
ing of the present day.
The striking group are awaiting a
conference with the managers of the
company from Newark, Ohio. 1t was
stated this morning that the repre-.
sentatives of the company were ex.
pected to visit Mount Vernon today
The strikers believe that the com
pany will accede to their demands.

SHOP men PLAN !.
BOWLING LEAGUE

With the approach of fall and win.
ter, the boys" at the G.. & G. Cooper
Co. are beginning to think of indoor
sports, and the ways and means of
having the best time possible during
the coming months.
Boosters of sports at the shop are
now feeling out the men to see how
they react on the proposition of hav-
ing bowling league in the city this
winter. A. Seavolt, one of the ath-
letic managers at the Cooper shops,
is confident Of the possibility of hav.
ing a fine bowling league this winter.
He expects the Pennsylvania shops
to be represented, also the bridge
works and other industries in the
city.
In order to begin the season when
it starts with we'll organized league,
it is time now to get the different
organizations perfected. The boosters
ask that the men think the matter
over and be ready to join in the Or
ganization when it is advanced.

COUNTY SCHOOLS IN
GOOD CONDITION

The best reports possible are CON-
ing in from the first inspection tours
of the county schools, which are now
being made by County Supt. ]. G.
Marriott and Dist. Supts. Thornberg
and Knowles.
College Hill school, in Brown town
ship, and Chestnut Ridge school, in
Union township. which for time
were without teachers, have now been
supplied and school sessions will com.
mence at once. The officials consider
that they have been fortunate in fill.
ing these two vacancies SO soon, in
the face Of the difficulty generally of
procuring teachers.
Among the county schools making
the brightest showing this year is the
school at Howard. Every department
in the school is on the increase. The
board has employed an extra teacher
for the high school. One of the rea.
sons for the climb of the Howard
school is the additional territory that
was added to the district last summer
and another is the increased interest
the people of the community are TAX.
ing in perfecting their school sys
tenn and its course of study.
The teachers in the Howard school
are: Principal M. C. Cummins, Mrs
M. G. Cummins and Miss Clotilda B
Lepley, in the high school; Miss Ber
|nadette Lower and Miss C1eora Chris
topher, who teach the lower grades
The special music teacher is Mrs
Julia Leonard, whose work in this
line is excellent. :,
One of the marks for all Howard
visitors to see is the schoolhouse
yard,-which the people believe is the
equal of any in the state in towr
the size of Howard. The Civic clut
of Howard is to be congratulated fol
the perfecting of this fine school play
ground.
= This year the Howard school has {
home economics course equal to any
in the county, and it's manual train
ing is the boast of the school. Thi,
latter department is the center of in
! terest for the boys.
