WASHINGTON. August 9-It was an
nounced this afternoon at the war depart
ment that General Merritt was to go to

Paris.
Whether or not General Merritt viii re-

upon the state OF affairs in the ISLANDS

self. but it is expected he will be in Paris

School Fund Apportionment.

The apportionment Of the permanent
school fund TO the various counties OF
the state for loaning purposes, which
has just been made, says Pierre special
OF the goth inst, is the largest appor-
tionment eyer sent out by the depart
ment, and amounts to $l34, 1926. Of this
sum the largest amount goes to Mime
haha county, which secures IS, 800,
while Lawrence and Brown are next
with nearly $4,000 each. Brookings,
Day, Hutchinson, Union and Yankton
secure oyer $4,000 each The lowest
counties in the list are Stanley, with
S2l0, and Lyman, with $3.50. On &C
count of the increased number of sales
this year the counties will be given an
opportunity to secure larger sums of state
money for Investment than in any past
year. But this year, as in the past, it is
very probable that much Of it, will be
returned, as it is hard TO get the money
out at even the low rate Of per cent
In many of the counties where sales
have been made the purchasers, rather
than carry a state loan at the 6 per cent
rate, are paying years interest in ad-
vance for the opportunity to make full
payment and secure title. Within the
past year many of the school townships
oyer the state which have obligations
payable are refunding them into the
state school fund, which gives them a
lower rate of interest than their old
obligations bear, and which at the same
time helps to reduce their school taxes.
In this way funds which are not desired
in one county are taken by the other
counties which were not granted as
much as they desire for this purpose in
the regular apportionment. 1t is the
aim and object of the land department
to secure investment Of the fund in such
securities in preference to investment
in land mortgages, which is allowable
under the statute.
Besides the increased apportlon nment
the increased number Of leases for this
year will help bring the income fund
up 10 where the scmiannul apportion-
ment Of that fGHl ,he 1st of July will
be over 81 per capita.

A Public Holiday.

Governor Holcomb, of Nebraska
issued the following proclamation:
To the People Of the State of Neb.
raska: The beginning Of new epoch
in the history of the Trans-M Mississippi
country, and especially OF Nebraska
will be marked by the opening of the
Trans Mississippi and international
Exposition at Omaha, the first day oi
June, the present year.
This great enterprise had its incep-
tion in the action of the Trans Missis.
sippi congress of 1895, attended by ac-
credited delegates from twenty-four
states and territories. To the end that
friendly ties and closer commercial re-
iations might be promoted between the
different states and territories, and that
the progress of this great section of our
country and its marvellous opportunities
might be displayed adyantageously
1t was determined to hold an exposi-
tion of the products and resources, the
manufactures, arts and Industries OF the
west at Omaha during the present year.
With a high appreciation of the respon-
sibility imposed, as well as the honor
conferred, by the selection ofits metrop-
oils as the place ofexhibition, the people
of Nebraska, and especially of the city
of Omaha, have spared neither effort
nor money in doing their part to make
the exposition success. The state, by
