Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 The last day under the law for coun- ty treasurers and county examiners to report to the superintendent of public instruction on school funds and school work has passed, and only about half of each have yet turned in their reports. County treasurers and county examiners also who do not re- port before August 10 are liable to a penalty.
 This information is required in the superintendent's office so the tabula- tion of enumeration may be made by the time the State Board of Educa- tion meets on the first Monday in September to apportion the state school funds. Those counties failing to report at this time will not receive their share of the apportionment of school funds, as these cannot be de- termined until the reports are made.

Establishing first what he termed his faith, he invok- ed the rule of right and of justice" to politics, proceeding in succession to show it's application to the tariff, the antitrust question, the restora- tion of the merchant marine, the de velopment of waterways, the conser- vation of natural resources, banking reforms and other issues.
 It was a motley throng that gather ed at the summer capital of New Jer- sey. Officially there was a notifica- tion committee of 52, representing every state and territory, and with them came eight of the Democratic governors.

 A semi-circle of motor cars fringed the crowd which closed in tightly on the spacious lawns of the governors cottage. On the veranda was grouped the notification committed
 Senator-elect Ollie James of Ken lucky officially informed Gov. Wilson of the action of the Baltimore conven- tion in a speech that was frequently interrupted by applause.

 Cows. Dix of New York, Foss of Massachusetts, Baldwin of Connecti. cut, Donaghey of Arkansas, Plaistead of Maine, O'Neal of Alabama and Mann of Virginia sat near by.
 With solemn attention the crowd listened to Gov. Wolson's speech Though frequently a satirical remark brought laughter, Gov. Wilson's ex- pression of his political doctrine was received with marked attention.
