DISPENSAKY SCHOOL FUND.

The Comptroller General is now at
work apportionIDg the first install
ment of dispensary profits IN some
time that have been paid for dlstribu-
ton to the school fund. The dlspcn
sary q short time ago paid over $50 900
and under the law the first thing is to
make up the "dcliciency," so that each
school in the various counties shall re-
cclvc at least $75 for the year and run
for at least three months. The
amounts that are indicated are what
is necessary for every school in the va
rious counties to got at least $75 for
the year. 1t is manifcstly necessary
that school should get at least 1915, but
it is equally as important that schools
should not be multiplied SIMPLY to get
this $75, or that this should be largely
made up by The State.
The following are the amounts that
are necessary to give each county $75
per school:

The Columbia correspondent of the
news ana Courier says it may surprise
somo people, but not these who have
been watching the trend of tho pen
SION feeling in this State, that the
State pension rolls have increased
1855 over what they were last year.
In 1901 the pension rolls showed that
',o03 Confederate soldiers or their
widows were getting pensions because
Oh service in the Confederate army,
ana although large number Of those
VINO received pensions last year have
dled the pension rolls show 7 ,GSS for
inc present payment, net increase of
Is per cent.
In Oconee and Chesterfield coun-
llcs the lists have increased more than
30 per cent. in Il single year, while in
other counties, York, for instance, the
county boards have held The increase
down to l and 2 per cent.
The General Assembly and the State
BOARD OF pension commissioners have
done everything that they could to
mold the pension list within legitimate
bounds and to see that all who are ON
the lists ale entitled to the small al
lowancc, but the fear is that there is
TOO much carclcssncss about the grant
lnS OF pensions. OF course the State
board has to accept the work of the
county boards, and it has no facilities
Tor knowing the merits of the ndividu-
al cases, and, as n matter Of fact, the
county boards cannot know every ap-

where man drew n pension as q Con-

also pension from the government as

THE INDIAN BASKETRY ART
Peculiar Methods of Decorating Em-
ployed by the Squaws in Their
Unique Work.

Among the curious whims intro
duced in Indian ~basketry art is the
use of letters as decorative motives,
which illustrates the aptitude of the
squaw to copy what is before her,
says a writer on this subject. A
Pomo basket valued at 5000 has an
eccentric ornamentation of unmean-
ing AS, HIS, and SIS, widened and
shortened and distorted to suit the
makers idea of beauty. The design
was probably obtained from the
traders tin can or packing box.
The basket is about six inches in
diameter, and contains about 11S
stitches to the inch. 1t is decorated
with crests of the red-headed wood
pecker, interviewer as only a Pomo
knows how.
Cigarette cases made Of two long,
bag-like baskets pressed fiat and
telescoping each other cost $50
apiece. They are the work of Aleu-
tian islanders, and are made of grass
in stitches as fine and regular, and
texture as pliable as gros-grain silk.
Colored silk and wool threads
raveled from cloths obtained from
the traders and mingled with the
grasses characterize the baskets of
these Indians. Like Panama hats,
they are woven under water.
That the Indian follows in
her arts, although it may be uncon-
sciously, what she sees in nature,
vas made clear to a visitor to Ari-
IONA. A squaw had mingled purple
and yellow in a curious blend, and
the white man said to her: "Why do
you put those two colors together?
You never see such a mixture in the
flowers"
The woman's only reply was a
stoical grunt, but a few days after
she handed the critic a purple flow
err, and with another grunt pointed
to the yellow stamens of the center.
Another squaw saw the big red
globe decorating a tomato IA and
copied it on her basket, while a fam
tastic tumble of the letters making
up the word served as a border.

Keen the Buildings Painted.

Farmers should realize now the i'm.
portance of keeping all buildings well
painted. The fall is the best time to
paint, as the paint has all winter in
which to harden slowly, whereas paint
put on in the spring or summer is often
times injured by the hot sun, while it
is fresh and soft. Paint is necessary
not only for appearances sake, but for
the preservation of the buildings. II
is hard, also, to convince one of your
thrift and business ability if your place
has a di%lapidated. rundown look. Good
paint is cheap and any industrious man,
with a little care, a learn to apply it
well.--Prairie Farmer.

Principle of Capillary Attraction to
BE Put to Practical Use by Colo
radO HorticuIturists.

Irrigation on the capillary attrac-
ton principle is now being investi-
gated by the state board of horticul-
ture and the government experiment
station at Fort Collins with a view to
recommending it for adoption in this
state. Fruit growers who have ex-
perimented with the scheme declare
it to be entirely feasible and much
more effective than the old way of
feeding moisture to trees by way of
the roots.
Flage Carter, of Park county, the
first person to try the plan in this
state, wrote Gov. Orman some time
ago explaining the method of irrigat-
ing a tree by capillary attraction. He
takes a vessel, a pan or a bucket, or
anything that can be tied to a tree
limb and will hold water. He fills it
with water and then bends a twig
about the circumference of an or
binary lead pencil into the water. The
liquid will be rapidly absorbed by the
twig and in turn water will enter the
limb and soon permeate every part
of the tree. The problem of keeping
the vessels supplied with water is not
a difficult one, for the reason that a
half gallon of water will do as much
irrigating as many cubic inches under
the present plan, the adherents of the
scheme claim.
Capillary attraction is the future
or orchard irrigation" says the orig
inator of the proposition. 81 took up
the matter two years ago, but did not
put it to a test until this spring. Then
| had two trees that needed attention
badly, and experimental with each.
One young tree had been rubbed
thoroughly by a horse and was wilted
badly. l applied my method of
watering it, and within one week it
completely revived. I next treated a
sick apple tree, and now it is all right,
thanks to capillary attraction prin'
ciple."-Denver Post.

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

Label all seeds before putting away.
Use both name and year grown OF the
abel.
Fruit cans, baking powder cans and
such like, make good storage places
.or garden seeds.
In northern ATTITUDES raspberry and
blackberry bushes, should be laid down
for winter protection.
Work up down trees for firewood
before telling any more, and so help
the looks and increase the value of the
wood lot.
Cabbage and turnips will stand quite
hard frosts, but it is not safe to risk
them out in the field or garden after
the middle of November.
When you get to getting out the
years fuel from the wood lot do not
slash into the trees thoughtlessly. Sc
lect those that interfere with others
or those that are dead or that are so
situated that they will never amount
to anything but firewood. Then fell
them so as to break down as few as
possible other trees when they fall
