The recent legislative. session in
creased the appropriations for state
aid to elementary schools from $70.-
900 to $4,000, an increase of $4,000.
Forty thousand of tiiss, increase will
go to the consolidated schools and the
other ten thousand goes to the one
room rural schools. This, according
to the state inspector, should be cause

state will look into this matter and
take the necessary steps to qualify

priatlOn was made for erecting head

Der of deceased government scouts.
Both Sage and -Four Rings enjoyed
the visit and that the governor did
so, also, goes without saying.

sentative Dickson OF Dunn county
found that his house had been burned
while he a attending the session of
the legislature. The loss of the house
