THE NORTH HILL
CIRCLE ENTERTAINS.

Mrs. J. F. Dusenbury's hospitable
home was bright with cut flowers and
potted plants, and pretty afternoon
toiletfes, when the North Hill Circle
entertained the ladies of the Metho-
dist church yesterday afternoon. A
great many were present to enjoy the
afternoon courtesy, which proved one
of the pleasantest entertainments
which the members and their friends
have enjoyed. Mr.. Slaughter, pastor
of the church, spoke for few min
utes, and one of the interesting de-
cisions reached by the ladies, before
the close of the afternoon, was a
shower to be held every three months,
which will prove not only a very
pleasant social diversion, but of pecu-
MARY benefit to the organization.

The physician pointed to the startling
increase of degeneracy In the United

improving immigration conditions. AS
q direct means to overcome some Of
the shortcoming of the eugenic laws
and the present situation relative to
the receiving of immigrants in the
United States he favored the appoint

About thirty Wayne county Demo

in Wayne county, but throughout the

Several weeks ago when the Lontz

that he would not enter the contest.

wayne LOSES $6,854
ON APP0RTI0NmENT
OF SCHOOL MONIES

An example of "all goin' out and
nothin' comm in" is the way County
Auditor Bowman expresses the condi-
ton of the semi-annual apportionment
of state school funds as made by the
state auditor in accordance with the
report of Superintendent of Public In
struction Greathouse. Wayne county
paid $2S,55843 into the state fund and
received as her apportionment, $21,-
706.79. The discrepancy resulted from
the fact that more money was received
in taxation than is returned to the
county in accordance with the appor-
tionment of 5000 per pupil.
Many of the smaller counties in the
state, which are in a poor financial
condition. will receive more money
than they paid into the state school
fund SO that Wayne county can at
least have the satisfaction of know
ing that poor county is helped. Ma
rion county is by far the largest loser
in the apportionment, having placed
$685. ,901 into the fund and receiving
only $132,350. This year the total
amount of the state school tax collect
ed for the semi-annual apportionment
was $1,361,136.
