Sources of Revenue.
The report shows in sufficient de-
tail the sources of the revenue turned
into the various funds and this is very
Illuminating. The money paid into the
general fund came from these sources:
Taxes, general, $13,255.50; taxes,
dog, $108.50; licenses, $7,064.75; pound

except $11.88. The library fund re-
ceived all of its money from taxes ex-
cept $500 PAL din fines. The sinking
fund received $9,O54.59 from sales of
water and $5.49866 from taxes. The
Stephens endowment fund (for pur-
chase of library books) yielded $162.80
in interest.
Comparative Analysis.
A comparative analysis of the re-
ceipts with the disbursements is an
especially valuable feature of the re-
port. It begins with the preliminary
showing Of $160,219.30 disbursements
and $1S6,441.50 receipts, the disburse-
ments exceeding the receipts by $685.
777.8O. This is to be considered in
the light Of the details as to the funds.

Oil On Streets.

The editor of the England Courier visited Danville recent ly and told his readers what oil had done to relieve that city of the ''dust devil" Don't you think it is worth trying?
 During a visit to the thriv- ing town of Danville this week we saw to our amazement the benefit of the use of oil on our streets. Automobiles, horses or wind could not raise a dust. The town seems to have on it's Sunday dress every day, the counters in the store are free from mussy dirt and everything has a neat, clean appearance. Upon consulting the business men, we found that they were all loud in their praise of oiled streets and said that for no reasonable expense would they give t up.

ress in the malarial survey, and measures to control malaria in each community after these in vestigations have been complet- ed. Later in the season blood examinations will be made to determine the amount of mala- ria in a community, with par ticular reference to carriers" or individuals who have malaria parasites in their blood practi- cally all the time. These "car- riers" infect the malaria-bear- ing mosquitoes and are thus re- sponsible for the continuation of malaria in the community. Drs. Taylor and Molloy, ac- companied by Dr. Frank B. Young, and Dr. c. w. Garrison, 'of the State Board of Health, last week completed a survey 0f Blissville, Drew county. Dr. Gar rison also addressed large au- Idience at Eudora in the interest |of the hook-worm campaign be- ling carried on in the county by Dr.T. H. Fly. In discussing the work Dr. Molloy said:
 "These investigations are be- ing made under the auspices of the State Board of Healt hand l it is the purpose of Drs. Young
 and Garrison to be with us as
 much as their other duties will
 permit. Coupled with this in~|
 vestigation is an educational
 campaign for the purpose of a-
 rousing popular interest in pub- lie health work, carried on by
 the state health officials. O4li-
 cers of the U. s. Public Health
 Service will instruct the people on the nature, source of infec- ltion, and the means of eradica- jtion of malaria from their
 midst.

Florence Mine Earnings.

It is estimated that the Florence mine of Goldtield is earning at the rate of 25O, ,OOOS annually, equivalent to about 24 per cent on the par of it's issued capitalization of l.050, 900 shares. On the basis of the present selling price of the stock, these earnings are at the rate of about 45 per cent per annum. There is. moreover. a strong indication that these earnings can be ID maintained over a very extensive per iod. The Florence property is devel- oping splendidly and the earnings alone, we believe, are sufficient to justify a material increase in the value of the shares.
