MANY DO NOT
FEAR CUPID
MOODY COUNTY SCHOOL HEAD
BESIEGED WITH LETTERS.

Flandreau, Aug. 5.-Several weeks
of school teachers in Moody county.
Today County Superintendent Coon
rod is being besieged with applica-
tions for positions in the county's
schools.
So clamoring was the situation
fortnight ago that a statement was
given out from the county superin-
tendent's office to the effect that
some of the schools might have to
close down because of the shortage.
Blame for the depletion of the
teaching staff was placed with Cupid.
1t was charged that many of the
young women in the county schools
this spring had fallen prey to the
wiles of the many wealthy bachelors
in the vicinity, and had been marched
before the altar. This statement
was given wide publicity throughout
several states.
Within a few days applications for
positions in the schools began to pour
in. Now Miss Coonrod is at a loss to
determine whether the rush for
teaching positions is a result of de-
sire to teach or of a desire on the
part of the applicants to place them
selves in a position where they too
many, become victims of Cupid's ar
row.
Meanwhile the mails continue to
bring in letters from young women in
Iowa, South Dakota. Nebraska, Min
nesota and Wisconsin.

Mr.. O'Connor in his statement
said:
