Drake Brothers Circus and trained
animal show will exhibit in Oakland
on the old Oakland Hotel ground on
next Thursday, August s, two perfor-
mances, rain or shine, at 2 and 8
o'clock p. m.
A circus is something that no boy
or girl should miss. Within the cir
Gus tent there is a mystic realm,
which brings to the children's mind
and contains the acme of all that is
wonderful, great, and bewildering.
The great red pictorial posters
which have come in advance have filled
every young mind with visions of
perfect haven of delight and amuse-
ment and nothing can fill the childish
heart with so much gloom and abject
dependency as the idea of being de-
barred from casting wide open eyes
about this wonderful and beautiful
aspect as it will appear beneath the

During the school year just ended" ,"
the announcement concludes, sit was
necessary to employ 450 elementary
teachers to fill the positions added to
care for increased enrolment and va
cancies due to designations, dismissal
or leave of absence. Of the 450 ap-
pointees, 1926 were inexperienced
teachers Towson, Salisbury and
Frostburg graduates of 1927 received
appointments to 289 of these positions
and the remainder came from schools
and colleges Of neighboring States.
Teachers Employed
"Of &C teachers who had taught in
other States prior to their appoint
ment in Maryland counties, Is had re-
ceived their training in Maryland nor
NAL schools and colleges and the re-
mainder had had their education in
Is different States. Prince Georges
and Montgomery counties, probably
because of their proximity to Wash
ington, D. c., employed the largest
number of out-of- State teachers.
"There were So teachers who had
taught in Maryland counties at some
time prior to 1929, but who were
out of service in 1929 for study,
travel, illness or other causes, and
who returned to join the county stats
in the fall of 1928.
Counting these three groupes as
new additions to the county white
elementary stats, the per cent OF 81
OCT teachers new to the county service
in October, 1928, was Is per cent. In
addition there was probably a slight
turnover of per cent during the year
due to teachers who began teaching
early in the year but who dropped
out for one reason or another, requir-
ing the appointment of others to re-
place them."

SAYS NORMAL SCHOOLS
TRAIN STATES TEACHERS
Education Board Asserts State
Institutions Supply Teaching
Force Demand

The Maryland normal schools train
most of the teachers needed to fill
vacancies in white elementary schools,
according to an announcement issued
yesterday by the State Department of
Education.
Including fifteen students who will
receive normal school diplomas after
the satisfactory completion of work
this summer, the number of county
graduates from the three State normal
schools at Towson, Frostburg, and
Salisbury totals 314, the announce
ment said.
Fewer Than Last Year
"This number" it continues, sis 80
fewer than the number of county
graduates last year, the decrease ap-
pearing entirely for the county gradu-
ates from Towson.
"In addition to the county gradu-
ates, however, lis Baltimore city stu
dents received diplomas from Towson,
eighteen more than the number for the
proceeding year, making the total
number of graduates at Towson 262,
while Frostburg and Salisbury had
seventy-nine and eighty, respectively.
Allegany First
every county in the State, except
Howard, was represented among the
graduates. Among the counties, Allie
gany stands first with fifty-six gradu-
ates, Baltimore county ranks second
with thirty-two, Washington third
with twenty-four graduates.
"The counties in which the three
normal schools are located evidently
appreciate more fully than other coun-
ties the advantage of a normal school
education, since parents and students
alike in these counties are in suffi-
GENTLY close touch with the activities
of the schools to recognize their
value"
County Graduates
County graduates from the three
State normal schools are shown below

Health authorities today called upon
the grownup boys of Minnesota to go
out and play baseball with their chill
dren. The Minnesota State Medical
association declares that playing base
ball is not only a splendid exercise
but one which relaxes the mind and
gives the players something else to
think about. Baseball on the back
lot is not for the boys alone but for
fathers, declared the bulletin Of the
State Medical Society issued today.
The bulletin declares that if more
people moved lawns and chopped wood
and played baseball, we would have
healthier men in the nation.
The growing boy, and the grown
boy too, needs exercise in order to
keep his health up to par" declares
the bulletin Exercise can be taken in
many ways-mowing a lawn or chop
ping wood is exercise, but to be of
the greatest benefit exercise must have
something in it in addition to mere
bodily motion. There must be some
joy in the doing of it. Baseball an

LEGION NOTES.

Through Legion efforts, every
Minnesota veteran may apply for q
paid&up government insurance policy,
the amount depending on his period of
world war service; but many have
failed to ask fer this free protection
for their families says Stafford King,
state Legion leader.
Perhaps the do not realize that
should they die, their dependents will
not receive this free insurance unless
they have, while living, applied for it."
Mr.. King adds. 1.-THE Legion already
has had the deadline extended from
Dec. 1927 to January 2, 1880, but there
is slight chance that 1t will again be
advanced"
"Some sad cases of veterans who,
through carelessness failed to apply
for an adjusted compensation policy
have come to the Legion's attention, so
we would warn others before 1t is too
late, to apply for this free certificate
which at the end of 20 years will en-
title each upwards of $157O, depending
on service period Any Legion post will
help complete the blanks"

HOW TO KEEP WELL


brings a whole -souled joy to the boy
in his play. Right here let me say that
man is nothing but boy grown-up,
and whatever is said to the boys-for
this talk is particularly for them-can
be applied to their big brothers and
their fathers as well.
Even If we can't all be good ball
players, we can get some fun and some
mighty good exercise out of the game.
However, in this as in all sports we
must be careful not to overdo. Don't
start in and Immediately try to pitch
full nine-inning game the first time
you get out on the diamond. Take
things easy. The muscles that you use
playing ball are not used too much
ordinarily, and if you overdo the first
time out you may produce a muscle
injury that will last for long time.
mot only is baseball a splendid ex-
erciSe-it helps the mind as well. After
hard day in school or at work, a
couple Of hours on the baseball dia-
mond will relax your mind and give
you something else to think about.
"One thing that should not be lost
sight of is that not every boy is physi-
cally fit to play baseball, and before he
tries it he should be examined by his
family physician to make sure that
there's nothing wrong with his heart
or lungs and that he is strong enough
to play.
"And now a word for the grown-up
boysl Most Of you are too fond of
getting your exercise sitting In the
grand stand and watching others.
That's better than staying indoors, to
be sure, but a moderate amount of ac-
tive participation is still better"

: EARLY VERMIH0N HISTORY :


tice of what was going on in Minnesota,
and for brief space of time used con-
siderable ink, and learned Delaware
College Professor, who had never been
West or North of his native state, con-
tributed magazine article to the cause
of Justice, denouncing us as pioneer
vagabonds", one and all.
Years later that snob was. in Duluth
during June's long days, and expressed
himself as being astonished Amazed,
he could not understand why the day
was so long, so much longer than in
his little Delaware. A pioneer vaga-
bond told him why.
After the mess was cleaned out OF
the Attorney Generals office, and
Judge Nelson had dismissed the whole
business, the claimants, who had hung
on, offered proof as provided by the
law, and paid $1.25 per acre, and re-
ceived a U. s. patent. My patent was
for the Northwest Quarter of Section
22-60-16, st. Louis County, Minnesota
Before closing will tell of a little In
cident in these more or less trouble
some matters as it occurs to me. I had
given bonds on five of my cases, when
Major Bracket, Deputy U. 5. Marshall
called on me. The Major was about the
finest old daddy that a fellow in need
of a. friend could meet, so he said
that's all right, get couple OF lum-
beriacks to sign on the dotted line, fol
the other case. Send it to me by mail
! to st. Paul, and it will be all right.
didn't do that. Thought had done
enough. Time run on, the MarshalPs
Office wrote to send in bond. PAID
no attention to the letter. Another
one came, and still paid no attention
Then one morning on the street saw
the Major coming towards me, laugh
ing. We were both laughing. We SHOOK
| hands (but I thought he wanted mel
and the Major whispered, "Say, Ed, J
will be back here in ten or twenty
minutes. Will you hang around this
| corner until return, for may want
you to do me a favor?"
I hung around. The Major returned
| after time. He had man with him
| and said, ed, here is man I have
arrested. I will be awfully busy until
train time Will you look after him
but mind you have him at the 2 p. Nj
train"
"All right, Major. But has this chap
any weapons on him?"
mo, no, he hasn't He had As, but
he was good enough to give it to me
and you won't need weapon"
We were at the train all right, and
the Major left with his man.
During the two or three hours wait
/ learned from the unfortunate what
he had done. 1t did not look very
good to me- Later he was convicted
and sent to a Federal prison, and
never gave the bond or was again asked
for it.
The dear old Major was lovable

Pioneer VagabOnds of the Vermilion
Trail 1SS0--1884.

The summer of 1881 the writer and
a partner, Tom Campbell located a
considerable stand of very fine white
pine timber in the then unsurveyed
towns, 60-16 and COLT, st. Louis
County. Much of the timber stood
along Pike River, and we then thought
there was chance of finding iron on
the land, as we saw in numerous places
on the surface, bits of float, red jasper
and ore, and we thought, maybe, we
were not too far from Soudan for ore.
The nearest Government survey was
twelve miles to the south From that
point we measured by pacing, guided
by pocket compass, and so pretty ac-
curately determined the subdivisions
the timber would be on, when the reg
ular U. S. survey would be made.
A little later, with other men, fifteen
in all, as recall, each claimant built
a fairly good cabin on land selected,
each taking 160 acres. We then (the
fifteen) jointly made application at the
land Office for regular government
survey, and that was done in 1882,
Campbell and the writer working on
the survey without pay, for the Gov
ernment surveyors never paid us for
some three months services.
In the spring of 1888 we filed pre-
emption claims at the u. s. land Office,
and spent from early spring that year
to November on our claims, but during
the summer that year 1883) hell broke
loose. The Government was being plum
dered; robbed of hundreds of thous-
andS of acres of valuable timber and
iron lands on the Vermilion Range,
and the U. S. Grand Jury brought in
indictments against more than hum
dred. Of the persons indicted, most
were Duluthians and nearby bankers,
lawyers, lumbermen, and persons con-
nected with the Minnesota Iron Co.,
merchants, and two U. S. land officers,
a truly fine bunch, was in deep, they
had me on six counts, one for fraud,
and five for conspiracy. The warrants
were served, and bonds had to be given
or go to the baStile. have in mind
the names of the accused, nearly all
dead now, think.
The whole matter, as I recall, was
later investigated by the late Chester
A. Congdon, who was then assistant to
the U. S. Attorney General for Mime
sofa; and as have the story in mind,
he advised that no convictions could
be made, and D. B. Searles, as Attorney
General in 1884, advised that all the
cases be nolle pressed.
