STATE SCHOOL AID
Reaches the Greatest on Record-Oc
tober and March Distribution To-
falling $3.50 Per Capita.

Calculations made in the state au-
ditor's office show that the total APP
portionment from the current school
fund for the closing school year will
be the largest on record, as we'll as
the per capita total. This means that
Stearns county is to have a greater
share in the superintendent, which is
based on the income from the perma-
nent state school fund, also that the
permanent fund has increased.
The figures are based on the certi-
6cation by the state superintendent
of education, C. G. Schulz, to the au-
ditor Of $886,910.2 as the March ap-
portionment, or income for the last
six months, which on the basis of
4O3,141 children who have attended
school at least forty days is 1920
per capita.
The October apportionment was
81, 45O, 5S7. so, the per capita $500 and
the per capita for the year is $3.50.

THE MINNESOTA HEN

Whlle people are selecting thell
favorite bird they had better not over
look the blithe and busy little Min
nesota hen, said hens importance as
an economic factor seldom being real
lied. If it is true the Handsome is
as handsome does" the Minnesota hen
is some beauty.
According to the best information
the secretary Of state has at hand,
there are about 11,000, 900 chickens in
Minnesota and they produced last
year a grand total Of 70o, 000, 900 eggs
The value Of the eggs produced and
sold in Minnesota during 1918 was
more than Sic, 1000, 900, which is an
amount greater than the total rail-
road taxes for four years and is a
sum which would support all the
state institutions under the Board of
Control for a period of nearly five
years. 1t would pay all the salaries of
the teachers in the state for sixteen
months.
In order to grasp the real impor-
lance of the Minnesota hen it may be
well to hesitate over a few significant
facts.
IF all the eggs laid in Minnesota
last year were placed end to end they
would reach all the way around the
earth and leave about 5000 miles over.
If fried and placed one on top Of the
other they would make a pile $500
miles high, nearly thousand times as
high as Mount Mckinley.
If man could, by any possibility,
eat ten eggs a meal, it would take
him 10000 years to eat all the eggs
produced in Minnesota in one year.
If a man wore boots thirteen in
ches long he could crush eggs at every
step, and If he could keep his legs
going at the rate of sixty steps a min
ute twelve hours every day, without
stopping, it would take him nine and
one-half years to crush all the eggs
produced in Minnesota in one year.
It would take the lawyers Of Min
nesota eighty-one years to eat all
these eggs. It would take, the doc
tors of Minnesota seventy-seven years
to doit. It would take the BARRIERS of
the state seventy-four years to do the
trick, and the school teachers nearly
ten years.
Actors are supposed to be pecul-
iarly fond of eggs. If every actor in
the United States started eating
Minnesota eggs, it would take them
800 years to complete the job Of con-
Stunning the states supply for one
year. 49, &
If the 100000 chickens were
made into one big chicken, and ev-
cry living human being in the state
sat down around this big foul and be-
gan eating at normal speed, it would
take the Minnesota diners twelve days
to get down to the bones.
And possibly If all the squawks of
all these chickens were combined in
one big noise and uncorked at Ell Paso,
all the natives Of Mexico would jump
into the ocean.

nearly 800 bidders present, represent
ing towns and cities all over the state

The average price per acre is the
highest ever established at a state
sale in the county and the manner in
which the prices were advanced by
competitive bidding proved that the
low priced lands of the county were
fast becoming a thing of the past.
Bidders were present from Mime

had lifted fly which Hayes glommed
Ogsbury hit into a lightning fast double
play in which both Branscombe and
Ogsbury were the victims.
None of the Indians saw first base
in the fifth, due to the steady work of
Mcdonald, Ingram and Ogsbury, but
the home boys did very little better
Strong worked Mccoy Hill for walk
and Kabot drew free transportation
Brown sent a fly to center and Ed
Abramson was out, Renshaw to Types

The visitors got to Mcdonald for two
hits in the sixth but after Hayes had
scored the schoolboy frightened and
famed both Hill and Jim Parsons. Eli
tripled to deep center and Branscombe
followed by coaxing Hill for free ride
to first. With two on, Janasco lifted a
fly to left which Hayes managed to
lariat in time to double Eli out at third.
Then Ogsbury missed trio of balls
that he mistook for strikes.
9 A Lost Opportunity.
In the seventh the local infield wob-
bled bit and one run for the abo-
rhymes came over. For the home club,
Strong, who seemed to have Mccoy
Hills angora for fair, leased the tall
twirler for another stroll to the initial
sack and after Brown had expired on
drive to right field, Strong stole second
before Kabot alked. Ed Abramson
mussed things terribly for the Kamiah
club by driving a sizzler over second
base, Strong scoring. Get that, alto
gether now: /" Strong scoring!' In
deed we should have more of this strong
scoring stuff and little less weak hit
ting if we expect to win occasionally.
Homer Mcdonald, who has never hit
more than .314 in any organized league,
surprised the tax-paying public by
smashing out a pretty single. Poor
coaching held Young Kabot at third on
this play when he could have easily

choked Ingram hit to shortfield and
Kabot was out at home. Chick Brans-
combe stepped into typical Casey at
the-bat stage setting and with the bases
full emulated the immortal Casey by
whiting three.
There was no chance for the visitors
in the eighth. Strong and Branscombe
and Ingram were fielding entirely too
fast and certain. During the locals ,
turn with the bat Janasco was out nm
an infield bingle and Ogsbury, after
drawing free pass to first, died when
he tried to steal second. Mccoy Hill
made the mistake Of his life by lobbing |
over tantalizl ng floater to Billyum

players would have been too eager and
