Senator Rowton's bill for the
general distribution throughout
each county Of the money taken
in from saloon licenses, is doom
ed to defeat. According to the
bill, SO per cent is to be appor-
toned to the school fund in the
county. 40 per cent to the general
road fund and the remaining 1C
per cent to go into the state
treasury. According to the old
law the money goes to the school
district in which the saloons are
located. The larger towns in
the state are fighting the bill tc
a finish, and as they don't care
a fig whether the little district
school keeps or not every means
will be used to defeat the bill. r.

Register Mail Order

In the future all letters or pack
ages to be registered must be TAX
en- to the postoffice and handed in
at either the registry or delivery
window, and a receipt obtained.
That is the substance of an order
issued by the postoAice depart
ment. In the past it has been
possible to drop letters to be re-
gistered in mail boxes and if the
required number of stamps were
on and the letter marked "to be
registered" the rest would be look
ed after by the postofice. In that
case the receipt could not be issued
when the letter was received.
According, the new order the
sender will get a receipt f, ON the
time the letter leaves and can trace
it to the time it is accepted and
signed for by the recipient.

Her thin, pens'ye face contrasted oddly with her glitter ing attire. Her hair was knotted high On her head and intertwined wifh flowers and jewels. Her slender neck seemed scarcely able to support It's burden Her short, full skirt and low cut bodice were ablaze with white and eolored stones.
