School Apportionment.

In preparing the semi-annual appor-
tionment of state aid to the different
schools, it was discovered that SO, 17s
children between the ages of eight and
sixteen years attend school less than
forty days year. The apportionment
is based on the enrolment at the first
of the year and there is every reason to
believe that it has not changed mater
tally since then.
There are 365, $50 pupils entitled to
share in the per capita apportionment
of $54T635. The apportionment for
each pupil who attended school forty
days or more is $l.5O When the last
apportionment was made the per capita
amount was 50 p. The total enroll
ment of school children is 423, 663,
which compared with the total num-
Der entitled to the .apportionment
shows that there are many children
who do not attend school even forty
days year.
Ramsey county has 1874? pupils en-
rolled to an apportionment OF $40, 1913:
Hennepin, "a, $40, entitled to $50, s0s so;
st. Louis county, 17,4G7 pupils, en-
titled to $26, 200. so, and Stearns, 1884
pupils, entitled to $l4,90l.

CAMBRIDGE

Cards are out announcing the mar
riage of Charlotte, daughter of P N
johnson, and Mr. Arthur G Ellickson, on
Thursday, March 23rd, at the East
Koshkonong church.
A deal was closed Thursday whereby
the Cambridge creamery, owned by A r
Hoard, passes into the possession of
Lewis Benson of Oakland. We under
stand also that it is the intention of Mr.
Benson to remove to our village. The
good people of Cambridge will gladly
welcome them as residents.
Torger Haldorson, who three weeks
ago was apparently healthy man, has
answered the final call. He was taken
suddenly sick and doctor summoned,
who, upon making a careful diagnosis of
the case, pronounced it appendicitis, and
with hopes that he would sufficiently
improve that he could be taken to hos
pital for an operation. But alas, he
summoned from Milwaukee to perform
such shape that he deferred. A few days
later he came out again and performed
an operation for the removal of puss
which greatly relieved the patient and
he apparently was on the gain for few
days when he gradually sank lower and
lower until Thursday noon, March 9th,
when the spark of life departed. Torger
Haldorson was born on the old home
stead farm, three miles west of this vii.
lage, on the 1st day of August, 1855, and
there, with the exception of the past six
years in this village, he practically pass
ed all his life. His father, John Haldor-
son Bjorgo, emigrated from Norway in
the wear 1886 and settled in the town of
Christiana in 1887.
