Swiss Santa Rings Bell.

In the quaint little town of st. Gal
len, Switzerland, which has retained
many of it's curious medieval customs,
Santa Claus makes his visits ringing a
gigantic cowbell, says Popular Science
Magazine.
In st. Gallen, every Christmas eve
twelve men array themselves in white
trousers and shirts, embroidered wool
%suspenders, and bright red ties. Each
one fastens an enormous cowbell on
to a wide leather belt, and covers his
head with an enormous mask Of card
board, the upper part Of which Is
decorated by stenciled designs.
One of the twelve Is called "Sami-

TO MAKE HEADWAY IN LIFE
consecrate and Concentrate, Is the
Advice Given by Writer in
Forbes Magazine.

You want to make Roadway In the
world, of course. See If this thought
can help you: First, %consecrate your
self to your calling; then concentrate.
The lives Of most men of notable
achievement have been characterized
by conservation and concentration. Be-
fore one can %consecrate oneself, one
must be possessed by some bigger and
broader and better idea than mere
money making. There must be SOME
thing IN the work that appeals to e
The work must appear to be worth
while, worth effort and industry and
sacrifice. You could not, for exam
pie, conceive of anyone co~nsecrating
himself to "~bootlegging." There isn't
one honest calling, however, to which
a worker could not c%onsecrate HIM
self or herself if animated by the right
spirit. Having consecrated oneself to
a line of endeavor, then concentration
must follow if proficiency and success
are to be attained.
The worker, be. he employee or en-
ployer, who hasn't c%onsecrated him
self to his calling fails to derive from
it that deep satisfaction known to
those who ha Re consecrated themselves
to their jobs. Concentration follows
conservation naturally and with Joy
rather than hard effort.-Forbes Mag

BETTER THAN ALL MEDICINE
oysters Put Artemus Ward on His
Feet When Every Other Remedy
Had Proved a Failure.

When Artemus Ward and DR.. Hing
ston, who acted as his manager on his
Western lecture tour, arrived In Salt
Lake City, after that amusing and
successful visit to California, the be-
loved humorist fell sick. So badly
was he, after his arduoas rounds Of
the Pacific coast and his strenuous
days in Virginia City, New, with Mark
Twain and Bill Nye, that his life was
despaired of.
The lecture Artemus had arranged
with Brigham Young to give in the
theater, had to be postponed. In fact,
so hopeless seemed the case that DR..
Kingston even tried to arrange to have
the body of his friend and partner
transported to the East on the stage
coach. But the optimism of Artemus
brought him back to safety again, q
very thin and weak man.
But before he was allowed to. leave
his room, Artemus had difficulty gain
ing sufficient strength even to walk.
From Brigham Young to the least
humble of the Mormon Saints" atten-
lions in the form of fresh eggs, jellies
and other helpful delicacies were
showered upon the convalescent. Ar.
temus enjoyed everything, but nothing
seemed to give him strength.
At last a food was discovered in q
local grocery, SO we are told, that
gifted him from his couch" This
was nothing more or less than a dozen
a n of Baltimore oysters, put up in
squares of block tin. The first oyster
stew shit the spot" and Artemus
chirped up:
sect out. the bills for the lecture!
See MI. Clawson and arrange for the
date. The show is safe enough, now
we've got on, an oyster basis."-Mark
Stuyvesant in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Cave Dwelling Snakes.

Until recent times no reptiles were
known to have adapted themselves to
existence in the darkness of caverns.
Now, however, it is known that in the
Malay peninsula a snake, a species
Of coluber, inhabits certain caverns,
feeding upon the bats
These cave-dwelling snakes attain
a length of between eight and nine
feet. Their coloring Stimulates that of

WILL opplo0SSs
DR.. Swearingen devoted a consid-
cradle part of his address to a discus
sion of financial and legislative sub
jects, saying at the outset that the
legislature was the highest school
board in the state. He told of the diff
fcult situation which the legislature
faced this year and of the postpone
ment of the payment of taxes in
1921. Shortly after that postpone
ment, he said, the state paid to the
federal government in taxes as much
as the entire state appropriation bill
carried little of this money, he said,
returning to the state.
"There is plenty of money in South
Carolina to run the state govern
ment-the question is, how to get
it," he said.
DR.. ~Swearingen said that he went
into office standing for an equal
chance for every child to get the ru-
diments of an education; for a six
months term and for a salary of
500 per month for every qualified
teacher.
In speaking of unpaid salaries, DR..
Swearingen said: "Some of you have
not drawn money for some months

The Game of Whist.

All great discoveries are works of
time, and the game of whist is no ex-
ception to the rule. Its merits were
not recognized in early times, and I'M
der the vulgar appellation of "whisk

servants hall ere it could ascend to
the drawing room.
At length some gentlemen in Eng
land WHO met at the Crown coffee
house In Bedford Rod, studied the
game, give 1t rules, established its
principles, and then Edward Hoyle, in
i743, blazoned it forth to all the world

Partisan Strife Will Not
Remedy.
To the Editor of The State:

imHr
To the Editor of The State:
I ask space to express my appre-
citation to my friends who saw fit to
nominate me, or, rather, suggested
my name for a candidate in the COM
ing campaign for governor; also to
reply to numerous friends and let
tiers, as to whether / will be in the
race. I will say that l am not hunting
a job and will have to carefully con
slider the matter before l can give a
definite answer.
1 admit that the time is here when
something should be done. Some
think the time ripe for another revo-
luton in state politics, but with the
existing financial status / would hate
to see our people torn to pieces by
demagogism or a political upheaval.
This is no time for a repetition of
some past circumstances; no time
with the increased amount of crime
that is being committed almost daily
to have our penitentiary emptied of
all classes of criminals-safe blow
ers, thieves, m%urderers, etc.,-nor is
it necessary To abuse all outside of
the penitentiary. Under existing con-.
ditions we should have a quiet CAM
paign and whoever makes the race
for governor should have the ability
and qualifications to lead and to rep
resent all classes of u people and
to reconcile them by a Just and eco
nomical administration that will
bring back to normal our conditions
and help to foster all our institutions
and encourage diversified enterprises
that will build up our state and give
every class of our citizenship equal
rights and privileges to Cork out for
themselves an honest living and a
proper enjoyment of life, education
ally, financially, socially and other
wise. There must be a long and
steady pull together of all u peo-
pie, with a due consideration for
every one, so that we may come back
to the morning light of a brighter
day. Much has been done at the re-
cent session of the legislature to di-
versify the burdens of taxation and
much more needs to be done and will
be done to remedy this. The admin
~istration of our government has
grown out Of proportion to the tax
paying power of u people under
boil weevil conditions and it will be
necessary to so simplify and reduce
our expenses within the paying pow
er of our farmers and all other class
les of citizens that all may live and
prosper. We need a new and able
Header, endowed with common sens
and full business judgment to serve
the state and people in a business
way, with full knowledge of the
science of government and econom-
les, to lead US out of u stagnant
and inactive situation and set us
agoing with the tide of prosperity.
We don't need at this time any
narrow minded partisan governor,
but one who has been a successful
business man and is a statesman and
will be a success as a goveror, and
has the interest of all u people It
heart.
Who will that mar be?

FER0CIOUS DENlZEN OF SEA
California Spotted Moray Is a Capture
Which No Fisherman Is Anx-
ious to Make.

The California spotted moray. or
'sea eel" as 1t is popularity called,
is credited with being the most fe-
rocious marine animal in existence.
The commonly observed specimens
are about three or four feet long, and
about the size Of mans wrist
Their mouths are provided with
needle-llke teeth, and their jaws are
so strong that cutting off the animals
head does not have the slightest effect
III releasing its hold Release can
only be achieved by cutting the head
to pieces 50 that the jaws cannot hold
together
Stories are told of fishermen be
ing driven from their boats when Il
large specimen got loose after being
hauled up. and these stories may cas-
fly be credited. considering the dispo-
siton of the small ones which are COM
mon TO the California coast Some of
those found In the deeper water reach
a length of six or eight feet, and a
weight Of 100 pounds The animal
can actually tie itself IN d knot, and
makes use of its extraordinary sluu-
osity for holding objects which 1t Is
eating, and for twisting aud coillug
around rocks.

april Fools Day"

April Fools day is from an old Gus
tom dating from the time of the Dru-
ids that the first of April takes it's
name. Although most people call it
An Fools day" it is more than likely
that it should be "Old Fools day
a modern way of saying Aud Fools
day"
In the old Druid times any young
maidens who could pluck enough cour-
age for il was considered a daring
thing to do) used to visit one of the
sacred groves" between ten and
twelve O'Clock on the night of April l.
Here they all stood behind one an
other, and as soon as they heard the
boot of an owl, started slowly running
round and round. As they ran they
sang some weird old chant, the gist
of which was that they wanted man
to run with them
Then those of the girls who were to
be married during the next year would
suddenly see the ghost of a white man
by their side A black escort showed
that the unfortunate young lady was
going to die during the ensuing year.

Changes in the New Manual

Some of the important changes in
the new manual are that physiology
and hygiene are made an 9Th grade
subject. There are no classes in
this subject below the 9Th grade, so
teacher should omit this class now,
but there is to be general exercises
every Wednesday morning for ten
minutes on hygiene and sanitation
for all grades. Civics is to be taught
the first two thirds of the year in the
7th grade and during this time the Sth
grade is to take history from 1890 to
the present time. Then both the T
and Sth grades are to take history IN
to 1890 during the last third of the
year. After this year, the 7th grad
ers who will have become Sth graders
will have all year for history from
1870 on, having done the early part
OF the history in the 7th grade. This
will mean that much careful planning
and study will have to be given to
these two subjects so that they NAV
be completed as outlined. Some sim
pie history is to be taught on Thurs
day and friday in the second and first
grades, and in the third and fourth
grade reading classes. This language
history work is to be continued in the
NTH and sixth grade reading classes
on Monday and Tuesdays. Some
simple civics is to be given in the Fri
day language classes for 9Th and 9th
grades.
More attention is to be given to art
which IS to have the time of the writ
ing period for two days week.
Third and fourth grades are to have
two days a week for geography. on
Thursday and Fridays at the time of
their language work. Civics and
geography are to be the only subjects
completed in the 7th grade. Teach
ers can begin now to plan for carry
ing out these changes, and get their
work clesses organized. Manuals are
expected to be out in January.
Spelling: Pearson and Suzzalo's
are the text books in spelling which
we are using throughout the schools
IN the county. However. every teach
er should have Horn-Asbaugh spell-
er, as help with suggestions for teach
ing spelling.

OF COURSE SHE HEARD HIM!
Anyway II Is Mean Man Who Would
Set Such a Trap for His
Better Half,

Hubby was reading aloud from the
newspaper to his wife. Now and then
he paused and asked a question, but
her replies indicated that she was not
listening very closely. When he re-
preached her she Indignantly retorted
that she was listening most intently.
He continued reading for few min
utes and then seeing a far away look
in his wife's eyes he began to read as
follows:
last night, at about o'clock in
the afternoon, a few minutes before
breakfast a hungry boy, about sixty
years old, bought an orange for a
dime, and threw it through a concrete
wall twenty feet thick With a cry of
despair, he jumped into dry mill
pond, broke his arm at the knee joint
and was burned alive.
1T was only ten years after, on
the same day and at the same hour,
that a goat gave chase to six elephants
just as a high wind began to blow
killing three dead horses and a nickle
cigar that had just come out of the
hospital
There. what do you think of that?"
cried hubby. as he finished reading.

Oceans, Levels channed.

Ii is the belief of scientists that.
during the glacial period, when the
land was covered with huge coats of
Ice, the level of the ocean was from
100 TO POO feet lower than its normal
level, according to Dr. T. w. Vaughan
OF the United States geological survey.
This belief is based upon the theory
that what goes up must come down,
t1d scientists are able to account for
the presence of ice on the land only
on the superstition that it came from
the sea.
Proof of this is found in coral reefs
in all parts of the world. Their posi-
ton indicates that the building was
commenced ia the shallow waters Of
the then coast line. only to have the
waters rise. The little animals which
create the reefs kept ON building
toward the new level. Many of the
reefs ii has been observed. have been
built on submarine shelves, and these
are invariably found on coasts which
show signs Of having once been sub
merged,
