The Daily Fun Hour
M atansy Blind

Matansy Blind
This ancient Scotch game has
many variations. In the Isle of Skye
version, the players join hands and
do a skip-dance three times around
in a circle, singing.
Here we go round a-jing-a-ring,
J~ing-a-ring, jing-a-ring,
Here we go round a-jing-a-ring,
Around the merry Matansy.
Three times around, and then we
fall,
Jing-a-ring, etc.
At the word fall" all stoop down
and rise again. The last one UP be-
comes Matansy, is blindfolded and
led to the center of the circle. Then
the others dance around again, sing
ing.
Blindfolded Matansy, dinna catch
mel
Blindfolded Matansy, Gamma catch
me!
Matansy then tries to catch one of
the circling dancers and, if success
full, the captive must become Matansy
in turn, is blindfolded and takes the
center, while the other joins the cir
Gle. 1t is not permitted to break the
circle (unclasp hands, in order to
evade capture.
AS played in Inverness, Matansy
goes to the center after the word
fall Then the others dance around
and sing repetition verses, of which
the first lines are: l. Choose your
maidens all around; 2. High gates
till the bride comes in, each verse
ending Around the merry Matansy."
AT the end of verse one, Matansy
chooses a partner; at the end of
verse two, all raise hands high while
Matansy and partner dance in and out
all round, blindfolding the other
players, after which the two return
to the center and the blindfold play
ers try to catch them. The first two
captors become Matansys.

No. 1s--Color Management

Color management simply means
arranging colors by CheiI position
and proportion so that we secure har-
mony. And harmony means agree
ment.
Now harmony in tie arrangement
of colors is obtained, first by contrast
and, second, by analogy or likeness,
Harmony by contrast means using
two colors that have nothing at all
in common, such as blue with red,
yellow, or orange, or yellow, with
red, blue, or violet; or red, with
yellow, blue, or green. AS a rule, it
is safe to a use only a very little
of the more brilliant contrasting color
as a spice or accent to enliven the
greater quantity of the less brilliant
color.
Harmony by analogy or likeness
allows a broader range of choice, al
though in many cases it is not pos
sible to secure the same emphatic
degree of brilliance as we get through
harmony by contrast. Harmony by
analogy "a that two colors COM
posing such a harmony contain more
or less of some n element common
to both. For example, we may have
an harmony by analogy or likeness
where the colors yellow, green and
blue are involved. There is enough
in common between green and blue
so that they agree.

The Rats Say Farewell

II ACKS plan for soaring the rats

wanted to get ashore just as fast as
they could.
The steamship drew up to a land

Egypt on the other side of the ocean.

My, but there was squealing and a

on deck and poured overheard like
water out of a dispan.

the rats. 1--WE don't want to be lost

The sailors were astonished when
they saw the rats rushing off the ship
The kindly Captain was delighted.

A Fine Field of Reform.

Darlington Democrat: IncM entally
the man who works eight hours a
day and expects to be waited on by
his wife and children, or to have
some form of recreation during the
eight hours he is neither at work or
asleep, has something to think about
if his wife works fourteen lhours. We
hear much of shorter hours demand
ed by organized labor, but nothing of
shorter hours for the wives of the
workmen- There is fine field of re-
form here in the purposes of the
unions, for it is a fact that short days
and higher wages bring mo decrease
in the toll of the wife who does her
own house work.

PROPOSED ROAD IMPROVE
MENT.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Mineral Point Commercial Club i'm
portant action was taken in regard
to improving the Mineral Point Mif-
fin road. A number of farmers from
the towns of Linden and Miff1in met
with the members of the Club and
evinced deep interest in the contem-
plated road improvement.
The work is to be begun at Catfish
Hill (near where the towns of Mif-
fin and Linden join) and extend for
a distance of about five miles, (where
towns of Linden and Mineral Point
join.) The improvements are to in
clude Ee-locationS, new bridges and
culverts and hard surfacing OF road.
The farmers and others located along
the highway, people living in Mifflin
and tributary territory and in the
city of Mineral Point have agreed to
contribute $1,000 towards the pro-
ject, with the understanding that
the board of the town of Linden vote
a like amount from their town funds.
These amounts added to the county
aid fund will make $4,000; and in
addition state aid fund of $1,000 is
available for the work.
An extension of the work for lit
tie more than one mile, and connect
ing up with the corporate limits of
Mineral Point city is proposed. For
this work $500 has been contributed
with the understanding that s400 be
voted by the town board of Mineral
Point. This with the county. aid
available under the proposed resolu-
ton would make $1,S0O to be ex-
pended on that part of the project
running through the town of Mineral
Point.
1t is proposed that rock quarry
be opened up at what is known as

A Letter From the State Superintent
State superintendent Office.

State Superintendent's Office.
March IL, 1922.
Mr.. Fred ]. Jeuck, Clerk, Board of
Education, Mineral Point, Wis:
My Dear Mr.. Jeuck:
This department was requested
some time ago to make an inspection
of what is known as your lower ward
school in Mineral Point, with a view
to condemning this building Or deter
mining it fitness for further school
use. In accordance with this request
one of our inspectors visited your
school on March 7th, and have just
received his report, excerpts from
which l am setting down herewith.
AS near as it was possible to de-
termine, this building was erected in
1868, and two room addition was
made some twenty or thirty years
ago. The building from a purely
safety stasdpoint cannot be condemn
ed at present, but it appears from a
rather careful inspection that the
physical conditions are becoming
very unsatisfactory, and | doubt
whether a year Or two hence the
same report could be made regard
ing its safety.
The walls, although extremely
thick and built up of a comparative
ly durable stone, are now showing
signs of excessive weathering, and a
number of cracks have appeared
which will have to be carefully watch
ed There are four of the stone
headers over the windows that are
cracked. 1t is quite possible that
within a comparatively short time
these cracks may widen to an extent
that a real danger might exist.
There are also three cracks in the
outside walls which are in part due
to settling.
The stone used for this building
has now been weathered SO that it is
quite porous and cementing and re-

can never be made permanent due to
the fact that the bond between the
new land the old work weathers out
at a very rapid rate. The floor beams
ON the first floor are in bad shape
where they enter the masonry, and
some time ago these joists were re
enforced by supporting timber rum
ming along the outer ledge of the wall
and 1t has also been found necessary
10 re-enforce the central bearing
posts by the placing of others.
The second floor joists seem to be
in fair condition, but are also show

the old May cheese factory, and the
county put in rock crusher, so as to
make the first course of the road
hard surfacing gravel, which makes a
more permanent road than tailings.
When it is realized that under this
arrangement the towns in interest
will receive three dollars for every
dollar voted to the project there can
be no doubt Of its ready acceptance.

WE SOON FORGET


Very quickly we forget the things
that are not before us daily; we for
get what we don't see or hear about
all the time. The popular writer,
the artist, the movie star, the bust
ness man-all are forgotten very
soon unless they keep themselves
constantly before the public. For
instance, the giggling movie world
has done without Fatty Arbuckle
now for several months and it looks
like they'er going to get along with
out him. But don't you know that
every day serves to get the once
popular comedian farther and far
ther away from the public mind and
heart, 1t makes mighty little differ
ence to the world what becomes Of
an individual, no matter how much
they idolize him under a given cir
cumstance. And it's the same way
with store, with a business con-
Germ of any kind. The longer they
are away from the people, the long
er they stay out of print and don't
keep reminding the people that they
are still here, the farther they get
away, the sooner they are forgotten.

SUMMER WEATHER IN THE FALL


The weather may always be reck-
oned on as conversational topic
either summer or winter. At the
present time it is attracting more
than ordinary attention, owing to
the extreme heat that has previled
for several weeks.
Hundreds of THE NEWS SUBJ
scribers are located at points where
the climate conditions are more
equitable, and naturally being inter-
ested in anything pertaining to the
old town, are, of course, wondering
how the ''folks down home" are
getting along.
For the benefit of these we arise
to remark that several Paris people
have been heard to remark that II
Hades is any hotter than old Ken
lucky at this particular time, they
are going to lead strictly ire
proachable lives in the future But
seriously speaking, or writing, the
torrid weather which fastened on
this section early in the summer
has not relaxed in the least, and for
the past three months the tempera-
ture has been up in the nineties,
with a scarcity of rain, producing
disastrous drought conditions. The
heat has been almost unbearable,
schorched, shriveled, perspiring,
frazzled humans simply had to
stand it in some way. Brazen pitt
loco ckioc have reflected the pitileSS
heat and humanity and vegetation
both have withered.
And with this out of our system,
we are hoping the weather man may
relent and send something cooling
(weather, we mean) to the relief OF
parched, baked, parboiled, swelter-
ing, broiled, sizzled, soaked, sun
burned earth, humans, beasts, and
vegetation. Amen!
