DICKINSON GOT ss,sss.
Semi-AnnuaI Distribution From
School Fund.


H. W. King, county clerk. has re-
ceived check for $3625, Dickinson
county's share of the state school
fund from z. T. Fairdaild, state
superintendent OF public instruction,
Tnis share, or dividend, as 1t ID
properly called, Is the last one to
be paid this year. Last February
Dickinson county received a like
check from Mr.. Fairchild. The divi-
dend is always paid twice each year.
This is not part Of the state
school fund, but simply the earnings
Of the fund that Dickinson county
is entitled to. This dividend is
based upon the 1911 tax levy. The
money Is distributed among the diff
ferent school boards OF the county
by the county superintendent.
The distribution will be made on
the basis Of 56 cents per pupil which
means that AbiIene,s share viii be
about 1870. Herington gets about
$3.50. The ono teacher schools Of
the county will get about $4,000. Be
side the state fund there is . coun-
ty fund Of se12 to be divided among
the schools Of the county.

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
FOR MANCHESTER.

Manchester and vicinity are work
ing on the problem OF central high
school This may be a new term to
many but 1t means the union OF two
or more districts for high school
purposes.l The district school %
not disturbed or discontinued. but
the several districts are united and
taxed for high school purposes. The
Flora township proposition would
be to locate the high school at Man
chester where some high school work
is now being done. This, is splen-
did move. This part Of Dickinson
county Is so far removed from 4
high school that there should be
some facilities offered. The comx
munity is wealthy and the tax would
be small It would mean that many
OF the young people Of the north
west part or the county would have
q high school brought home to them
and that many would have the op-
Dortunity for advanced education
who otherwise will not II the school
IS not brought home to them. We

University Experts
Condemn Vaccine.

University Of Kansas. Sept. sO,--
Vaccination OF horses as a cure for,
or as a preventative OF. the disease
that Is rayaging Kansas. is worse
than no remedy at all because II is
misleading farmers as to the proper
treatment for their horses.
This is a statement issued today
BY Prof. 8. J. Hunter. in charge OF
the University OF Kansas research
laboratory at Ness City.
''Why yaccine?" asks DR.. w. X.
Trimble. pathologist with the uni
versity commission. mo pathogenic
germ has yet been brought forward
BY anybody. And II is the heighth Of
folly to prescribe vaccine for Q
germ that Is not in evidence"
Again says Prof. Hunter, I'VE
have the figures which show that
the mortality among vaccinated
horses Is greater than that among
unVaccAnateu.
THE disease is not caused by
worms, nor Is It spinal meningitis,
nor IL 1t Born'as disease. As we
have said all along It is caused by
forage poisoning. a disease found
in 15 states, and in evidence to
some extent every year, and wherev-
er horses are placed on reduced ra-
tions OF clean feed with plenty Of
pure water, the disease disappears"

ing distributed at Ness City. The
university commission has found
that where clean. we'll cured fofpge

have determined to leave no stone
unturned. The compaign of edu-
cation Is to be enlarged, the appeal
to the county to maintain prosperity
is to be made more emphatic than
ever.
There - another feature in the
situation which materially aids the
Republicans. The electoral college
this year contains 4s votes more
than 1t did four years ago. sS Of
these votes are gained by states
which went Republican four years
ago and are ordinarily in the Re-
publican column, while the Deemo-
cratic states gain only ten electoral
votes. The advantage OF the in
crease at the very start Is decidedly
with the Republicans and makes It
All the more difficult for Professor
Wilson to secure the 266 electoral
votes which he must have in order
To be elected.
SO that, with Roosevelt eliminat-
ed. with Wilson arousing no en-
thusiasm. with prosperity as val
liable asset, with the American peo-
pie realizing the absurdity OF In
vlting Democratic distress and with
the, advantage Of an increased NUM-
Der Of electornl votes In states or
dinarily Republican, the Republican
campaign 10 now being waged with
more enrnestness and enthusiasm
than ever before. and with de-
cidedly bright outlook for victory
in November.

college has been received by the
farmers at Abilene. The serum

The registration books for the
general election this fall close on
Friday, October 25, but there are
still a large number Of Abilene resi-

to vote except for a lack Of regis

table excuse however, and unless
their names are properly on the
books BY October 25 they cannot vote

the summary OF hundreds OF letters
received this week at the western
headquarters of the Republican ma.
tional committee in this city.
Last week it was cautiously as.
serted in this correspondence that
the Roosevelt movement was appar-
emily dying out. Information which
has reached headquarters this week
removes the matter from the do
main of doubt. Letters written by
different people in widely separated
localities, not with Amy collusion
but from the standpoint of inde-
pendent observation, show that the
movement is becoming mOribund.

With the elimination of RooseS

distinct advantage.
