The entire front page of the
newspaper was filled with a
biography of the 35-year-old
president of “East Illinois col-
lege and Normal School at
Danville, Illinois,” Prof. J. V.
Coombs. At 16 he could neith-
er read nor write. He started
to college at 19, and it took
him 10 years to graduate, but
he did it, by teaching a year
or two to earn money and
then going back to school.

The inside of the paper con-
tained sample questions (and
answers) from the Indiana
State Beard examinations for
would-be teachers. Samples
include:
In reading—Deflne articu-
lation and state what means
you would employ to improve
the articulation of your pu-
pils.”
In arithmetic—“When it is
noon in Washington, it is 8:20
at a certain place; in which
direction, and how many de-
grees is that place from
Washington:”
In grammar—*“Write a sen-
tence in which a clause is
used as a noun in the nomin-
ative case.”
Another section had arith-
metic questions sent in by
readérs wishing answers. All
of them tough!

Two pages were devoted to
book reviews of such works
as “Old Ocean’, ‘“Wedlock”;
“The Male Voice Choir”;
“Japanese Fairy World”;
“Isms Old and New” and
many others.
The only two familiar to us
were ‘“‘Peck’s Bad Boy” and
“The Poetical Works of Alice
and Phoebe Cary.”

Yet another section had ad-
vertisements for patent medi-
cines, salesmen wanted, and
summer tours. Ome of the
most interesting of the latter
read as follows:
“The seventh season of W.
H. Brearley’'s popular pleas-
ure tours, ‘from Detroit to the
Sea, via Niagara Falls, the
Thousand Islands, rapids of
the St. Lawrence river, Mon-
treal, Quebec and the White
Mountains to Portland, Maine
(near Boston, Mass.), will
consist of three excursions,
leaving Detroit respectively
on June 27, July 11 and 25th.
The price for the round trip
of over 2,000 miles, will be
$22, and the tickets will be
good for 60 days from time
of starting. Each of the tours
will be personally conducted
by W. H. Brearly, and will
travel by special trains of
Pullman palace cars, and by
special steamers upon the St.
Lawrence river.”
How fascinating (and econ-
omical!!) it must have been to
have lived in that far-off day!

Manheim Central has sel-
ected a former Baron wrest-
ling star to be head mat coach
at the school as Stan Zeamer
was named to the position re-
cently.
Several of Central’s coach-
es in the past have been for-
mer mat stars at the school
and they have played a major
role in keeping the Barons
the top wrestling power in
this part of the state.
Zeamer, who was a NCAA
College Division champion
this year for Northwest Mis-
souri State, takes over the
coaching duties at Central
who resigned following the
past season.
“Coaching at Central is
quite a responsibility and a
challenge but I have confid-
ence,” says Zeamer. I'm anx-
ious to get started.”
While a wrestler at Central,
Zeamer won Regional titles
as a sophomore and a senior
and was a District Three run-
ner-up as a junior.
During the past year at
Northwest Mo., Zeamer cap-
tured the 134-pound NCAA
College Division crown and
finished 8th in the NCAA Uni-
versity Division Champion-
ships at Northwestern.

less the chance of widespread
losses. Fortunately the herd
destroyed last month was not
in a heavily swine populated
area. but delay in eliminating
sick animals in a heavily
populated swine area could
bring’ serious losses. Be on
the alert and request medical
advice quickly when animals
go off feed.
OUTDOOR cooking is a very
popular custom throughout
our country and the use of
charcoal briquets is a very
common practice. Don’t let a
festive meal end in disaster of
the poisonous fumes from the
burning charcoal. Many per-
sons regard charcoal briquets
as perfectly harmless to use
indoors, never dreaming that
large quantities of carbon
monoxide can accumulate.
Burning charcoal requires
plenty of air to get rid of
these fumes. Poisoning and
even asphyxiations have been
reported when briquets were
burned indoors. A good rule
to follow is not to use char-
coal briquets in a garage,
basement, or any other en-
closed area such as a porch,
tent, or cabin.
THE MAKING of a compost
pile might be useful to many
local gardeners; most proper-
ties have an accumulation of
clippings, leaves, and plant
residues. These can be put in-
to a pile, mixed with topsoil,
kept wet and in a year or so
will furnish a good supply of
organic matter for gardens or
mulching purposes. Adding
ground limestone and a com-
plete fertilizer to the pile will
increase the bacterial action
and speed up the decaying
process. The pile should be
kept flat so that water will be
held as long as possible. Turn-
ing of the compost pile every
month or so will get a better
mixture and make it possible
to add new materials. Make
sure it is kept moist at all
times.
