Potatoes Suffer In Recent Cold Spell.

Old King Winter did a fell trick,
struck blow beneath the belt to
Umatilla county potato raisers when
recently he swept down "like wolf
on the fold," and froze hundreds Of
bushels of spuds in Eastern Oregon.
A local commission man in dis
cussing the situation today, stated
his belief that the sudden cold snap
did no less damage than between
$4,000 and $4,000 damage.
Many of the farmers, believing the
fall would be long one, delayed
their potato digging, until it was too
late. 1t was said that one farmer
near Echo had 10 acres in potatoes
He had contracted to sell them for
$1.75 bushel as soon as they were
dug. He waited to build barn
and the cold spell hit him. Every
thing was lost and he will even have
to buy his seed for next year.-Pend-
Teton Tribune.

Mrs. Lizzie Shasfer.
w. V. BARRY.

Elizabeth johnson, daughter of
the late Riley and Mrs. Kate Har-
mon johnson, was born in Lexing-
ton, Tenn. fortysix years ago next
month, and passed away as the be-
loved wife Of A. H. Shaefer, at their
Capleville home, ten miles from
Memphis on last Sunday morning,
after long illness.
On November 10, 1895 while both
lived in Lexington, Mr. Shaefer at
that time being the editor and pub
Usher Of the Lexington Republican,
Miss Lizzie johnson and Mr.. Shaefer
were married in Jackson. No chill
dren have been born to them.
Several years ago Mr.. Shaefer en-
tered the revenue service of the
United States, finally locating at
Memphis, where he is now a deputy
collector of Internal Revenue.
For several years Mrs. Shaefer's
health has been on the decline but
while there is life there is hope and
but six weeks before Mrs. Shaefer's
death she and her husband moved
from Memphis out to Capleville,
where Mr.. Shaefer had built a home
but Alas, the Grim Destroyer had
marked Mrs. Shaefer for his victim
and the hoped for improvement
did not come.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
George Foster (Mamie) whose home
is near that Of the Shaefers, and
one brother, Will johnson, who is
a rural mail carrier out of Lexington.
We had known Mrs. Shaefer since
she was girl just entering her
teens and we can testify that as a
girl and woman she was thoroughly
good. She was a true and faithful
wife and let it be said for the be-
reaved husband that-in the twenty
years of his married life he proved
to be a most kind, affectionate and
Econsiderate husband.
Mrs. Shaefer's remains we're in
tered in Forrest Hill Cemetery at
Memphis, the Rev. W. A. Russell,
her former pastor at Lexington, now
residing in Memphis, officiating in
the last sad rites.
The PROGRESS extends sympathy
to Mr.. Shaefer. to the surviving
brother and sister and to Mrs. Addie
Henry, who survives her neice.

Cemetery Fence.
party

1t is a matter of qualification to
the entire town to know that the
cemetery fence is entirely paid for,
an ice cream supper given last week
by Mrs. Murray Roach having pro.
vided enough money to exactly pay
off the debt.
1t has been almost four years
since the fund was started by Mrs.
L. 7. Fielder. A number of people
have made contributions, and a
number have made money in vari-
Gus ways. 1t is not possible to give a
list of either, for many have simply
come to the Bank and deposited
their gift, but every penny and ev-
cry bit of work which has gone into
it has been gladly given, as it should
be for such a cause; and considering
the magnitude of the undertaking,
it has been done in as short a time
as could have been expected.
The total cost of the fence was
$502.31, the iron being $262.22, and
the other for the concrete base, and
expense Of setting. The old fence
is being used on the back, and it is
all stock proof now, although it is
necessary to make enough money
to do some concrete work about the
gate, and then, of course, the next
thing will be to make a road de-
pendable in all weather. Since this
much has been accomplished, it is
easy to suppose that few more
years will see that done.

FINANCIAL RELIEF FOR STATE
in PROPOSED LEGISLATION
University Appropriations From
School Fund Would Release
$4,000.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2.-The bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator
c. F. Montgomery to pay the annual
appropriations for the State Univer-
sity and Eastern and Western Normal
Schools out of the State school fund,
he said, is designed to relieve the fl
nancial condition of the State. 1t
would release 1927, 900 for use of de-
fraying the current expenses of the
Commonwealth.
The State University draws $87, 900
annually out of the general expendi-
lures fund and the normal schools
SIS, 900 each.
AT present the entire State school
fund estimated for this year at 49,
$50. 221 .98, into which 26A of the so
cent State tax levy goes is used in
paying the salaries of teachers and
the office expenses Of the Department
of Education. There are approx
mately II, 900 teachers and the money
is apportioned to the county and city
schools on a per capita basis of
scholastic population.
The money this year was apportion-
ed on a per capita of 1925, the
scholastic population being 744,077
RMS was AN increase of So cents over
last year and on the strength of it
the school term was extended to sew
en- months, giving the teachers an eX-
ira months work at full pay. Sena-
tor Montgomery said he realizes that
there will be bitter opposition to his
measure, but that the extra month
comes after Christmas holidays, when
roads are bad and country children
will not attend, while many teachers
prefer going to school themselves af-
ter the holidays.
Another bill has been introdla "a,
transferring the balance of the Jog
tax fund remaining after paying for
sheep killed by dogs, from the school
fund to the Department of Agriculture
as an emergency fund for such situG-
tons as arose during the foot and
mouth disease, when livestock had to
be slaughtered at the public expense.
The fund the last year amounted to
$4,000.
