taxes into the States strong box, but
the amount disbursed thus far is far
behind the usual payments. 1t is esti-
mated that thus far less than 1900
districts have been paid, the amount
put out being about $2,2OO,000. Last
year at this time close to $4,000,OOO
had been disbursed.
The slowness in the payments has
| been due to the depleted condition of
! the Treasury due to the manner in
which State taxes were paid. num-

made in the Auditor Generals depart
ment his year and collections have
been slow.

After Bologna Men.-Over a score
of arrests haye been ordered in the
last few days by State Dairy and Food
| Commissioner James Foust because
! people sold bologna and sausage which
was anything but in accord with the
| State laws. This is the season of the
year when sausage is very popular and
| the sales are larger than at any time
| because everyone wants to try the
product Bologna is also very much
| in demand. The agents of the State
| have turned up instances wherein the
| sausage was found to contain consid-
| cradle flour. costing few cents a
pound, and water, costing nothing. in
| stead of all meat and the other things
| that go to make it so tasty. In one

Plenty >of NIen.-The State police
force is having no trouble to keep its
| troops filled at present according to
| officers at the Capitol. The four troops
now contain their quota and there are
| a couple of hundred men who would

the demands of the steel companies
and munitions factories for men Of

State Taking Care. - State Game
Commission authorities are having
careful examinations made into the
claims being made by orchard owners
and farmers in the southern counties
about the damage being done by deer.
| This season of the year is always a
time when the deer raid farms and in
some or the western counties where
deer hunting is closed for term of
years the animals are reported as
showing little regard for farms. In
the South Mountain region claims have
been made for considerable damage
alleged to have been done in orchards
by deer. which are abundant and mis-
chievous.
