IL seems TO be agreed now that
the surname Moon is really identical
with Monk as far an meaning goes.
and was derived from an Anglo
French form that also gives Mum.
The nurname Money is also derived
in the same way. AS to how the
first Moon derived, the name you
may use your own imagination. II
YOU like you may hold the theory
that some monk. tired OF his re-
ligous reclusion. broke his vows
married and established family
from which incident these children
were called Monk or Moon; or you
can adopt the theory that the first
OF the name was so-called as a
nickname. because OF his monastiC
appearance or procliviies.

DISTRICT TO VOTE
ON JANIT0RS' PAY

Residents OF the Mount Pleasant
school district. az a meeting held at
Bellefonte, last night, decided to sub
init TO the voters OF the district on
December 10 the question OF raising
school taxes 10 meet the expenses OF
school janitors. The State school
laws were explained by DR.. H. V.
Holloway. OF the state Board Of Ed
ucation. The Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation, under whose auspices the
meeting was held. then made re-
port TO the trustees with the result
that It was decided 20 have the
matter OF janitors pay voted upon.
It Is expected that the vote will
be against assuming any more taxes.
This vote will then be presented 20
the Governor with a request that
ne call a special session Of the leg
, islature TO change the law. Only
$4,000 is provided by law for all
the janitors in the state. This is
not sufficient. There Is however
plenty Of money in the school fund
which could be used for this pur-
pose but because Of the law cannot
be transferred.
