AMERICA MAY HAVE
WHITE PAPER MONEY

Atlanta, Ca, March 27.-Accord-
ing to local experts the famine in
dye-stuffs owing to the war in Eu-
rope, is soon going to become such
serious matter in America that we
may have not only white hosiery,
white magazine covers, white carpets,
but even if it lasts long enough,
white postage stamps and white cur
rency.
Next to preparedness and the need
of a merchant marine, it is said that
the dye problem is really the most
far-reachring that the American ma
ton confronts.
Of course America can make dyes,
but they are not the kind Of dyes that
last. They fade and run and can't
stand either light or soap and water.
America has learned other craft
secrets since the war, for instance
the making of needles, but she hasn't
yet got the secret of making fast
dyes.

A FABLE AND A MORAL.

The Lion was telling the Leopard
why he roared in the Jungle when
going about hunting. Doing business
openly and with plenty of advertis-
ing" said the Lion, ''is what has
made my reputation. got my char
acterization as King of the Beasts by
blowing my horn. Always let the
other fellows know you are around
and they will respect you and fear
you"
A Rabbit hiding and shivering in a
clump of pampas grass overheard
this conversation, and all the next
day he pondered upon it. He decided
it was better to have the other ami
mails fear him than to live himself IN
constant terror. So the rabbit filled
his lungs with a great breath and
tried to roar like a Lion.
A Kiote, learning of the Rabbits
whereabouts by his roar, hoped onto
the Rabbit and ate him up.
If you haven't got the goods, there
is no use to advertise.-Judge.

THE RIGHT STEP.

The Judson Mill in Greenville has
purchased lands near the mill vii
lage, which is being divided into
lots, which lots will be sold to such
employees of the mill as wish to own
their own homes. The mill will
then loan, or advance, to these en-
ployees enough money, not exceeding
one thousand dollars each, to build
a home, thus enabling these people
to have an interest in the place
where they live, and giving them the
incentive to improve the. premises
occupied by them as other home
owners, do, and TO feel more interest
in the community In which they live.
It b not stated in the news stories
whstaer these lots will be sold to
othSfS Hfan operatives but for several
reasons VI hope this will be done.
In the first place, there has been
an effort to make the people who
work in the mills feel that they are
in a different class from other people
and that what is good for and de-
sired by other people. is most often
against them. This should not be
the case. It is caused largely in our
judgment by the fact that these peo-
pie have been forced to live in COM
munities to themselves, where they
have not come in contact with other
people. They have thus been set
apart from other people, and have
not had the benefit of the elbow
touch of their fellowman. They
should live as other working people
do, among people in other callings
and should associate with the people
of the neighborhood in which they
live, just as other people do. They
should be a part of the community in
which they live. =.
In the next place these homes in
which the operatives will invest their
money will not be worth as much to
them as they would otherwise be if
others than mill operatives are not
encouraged and induced to buy. So
that when an operative for any rea-
son wishes to leave that particular
community, his purchase will not net
him the returns from a sale which
it would do if the public generally
were interested in buying this prop
erty. The acts of the mill will be
misunderstood unless the new settle
ment is open to anyone who wishes
to buy and make home in it.
Every man is a better man who
owns his own home. Every man
should own his home. He feels
more interest in his community, in
his neighbor, in the government and
in the state at large. The Judson
Mill has made start which we hope
will be followed by other mills. And
the mills when they begin to offer a
chance to operatives with which to
build and own their own homes,
should be sure that no element of
speculation on their part enters into
the enterprise.

0ISOn'S Daughter
Probably Drowned

Word has been received here of
the probable drowning of the
nine year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis Olson, who live at the
mouth of FishhOOk creek, few
miles below Avery. The child
has been missing since Thursday
of last week and is supposed to
have fallen into the river and
drowned.
Mr.. Olson is engaged in logging
near Avery and resides with his
family in a house at the mouth OF
Fishhook creek. Thursday after
noon the child was playing about
as usual and was not missed un
Til supper time. When she did
not come in to supper a search
was made hut no trace of her
could be found. There is a log
across the creek which is used a.
bridge and it is thought that IN
attempting to cross on the log the
child slipped and fell into the
water. The current in the creek
is very rapid and it is believed
that she was swept down into the
st. Joe river and her body car
ried away.
When it was found that she was
missing a search was made and
the river was dragged as much as
the rapid current would permit
but no trace of her could be
found. The current in that sec
ton of the river is very rapid and
the body could easily have been
carried down the river for miles.
The people residing along the
river have been notified and are
keeping a lookout for the body but
it is doubtful if it is discovered
unless by accident.

Oearth OF Prisoners
Al County Jail

The sheriff office is having
very easy time at present. There
has been only one prisoner in the
county jail for sOn'e time and his
time expired a few days ago, leav-
ing the Jail entirely empty. In
cidentally the county does not
seem destined to reap much bene-
.fit, for the present at least. from
the order made by the commits
siOncrs some time ago to employ
the county prisoners to work on
county roads.
There were a few prisoners in
the jail at the time the order was
made and they were put to work
rOr few days but the weather
was very bad at that time and il
was only possible TO put in a few
days on the road.
1t is impossible TO say whether
the making Of that order by the
commissioners has any cOnnec-
tiOn with the lack of prisoners il
the county jail or not. 1t is Ger.
tain, however, that only one per.
son has been before the courts o
the county and received a Jail sen
tence since the order was made
If the order is responsible for tn
falling off Of crime in the count

deserving of commentator 70

Tierney is the owner of a
couple of horses which he has
been in the habit of stalking out
on the flat near the shingle mill.
The police have received a num-
Der of complaints about the man
ner in which the horses were
treated and Thursday a warrant
was sworn out for Tierneys ar
rest and he was brought before
Police Judge Schultz, plead guilty
and was fined.
He thought the engineer at the
shingle mill was the author of his
troubles and went to the mill to
see him. An encounter ensued
in which a wrench was used and
it is said that Tierney received a
bad cash on the head.

est district, $82.
From a consideration Of these
facts the commissioner of educa-
ton is led to the conviction that
the only way in which the school
burden may be equalized salts
factOrily, and the needs of chill
dren in the poorer as we'll as in
the richer districts fairly met, is
through a moderate State School
Levy, based upon the aggregate
taxable property Of the entire
state, and pro rated to the cOun-
ties at, say $1,000 per capita.
Nearly $500 Of this amount is
already provided by the income
from the State School lands, leaV-
ing a little over $500 per capita
to be raised by state levy.
Our readers will be somewhat
interested in learning how the
cost per pupil in different dis
tricts in this county compare
with the above. The district in
which it cost the most per pupil
during the past year was ChatcO-
! let. This district had only five
pupils during the past year and
the expenditure was Si53.23 per
Pupil, with a nine months school.
II is only fair to say that a con-
siderable portion of these ex-
lpenditures were caused by neces-
sary repairs on the school build
ing.
This district has given the
county superintendent more
trouble than any other district in
the county for the reason that
there are only five pupils and
there seems to be no possible way
in which they can be taught ex-
cept by maintaining a school IN
the district.
The district of the county in
which the cost per pupil was the
lowest was district No. 8, between
St. Maries and st. Joe. Thi:
district had % pupils and a sever
months school and the cost pc
pupil was S23.52.
The cost per pupil in the 81
MARES SCHOOLS was 90 /. HtS
2 figures are based on last year
e expenditures and not on this yea
e as the county superintendent
4 office has no records for this yeal
; The same is true of the Plumme
district and the figures given al

School Revenue
System Inadequate
BURDEN EXCESSIVE IN some DISTRICTS
Board Of Education Suggests Changes.
Have State Meet Expense

The State Department of Edu-
cation has recently completed the
compilation Of some interesting
data concerning the cost of school
maintenance throughout the state
and the relation or school costs
to the present financial income Of
school districts. This data was
compiled from the reports of the
county superintendent for the
school year 19t4-15.
The result Of these investiga-
tions clearly indicates the in
adequacy of the present system Of
schol revenue and appOrtionment
to meet fairly the needs of all the
pupils of the state. This con-
clusiOn is based upon the follow
ing facts: Many of the richer
districts, because of their great
er taxable resources, have funds
available for school purposes that
amount to far more than their
school burden demands; on the
other hand, the poorer districts
are struggling to maintain ade-
quate school facilities with ut
terly insufficient funds to meet
their needs. The real signifl-
canoe of this fact will be under
stood when it is realized that the
heaviest burden Of school sup
port, amounting to so per cent
of the total cost, falls upon the
school district.
Another important considera-
ton in this connection is the fact
that there is a great disparity iu
the costs OF school maintenance
in the various districts through
out the state; indeed some Of the
poorer districts bear the heavies
burdens, due TO large enrollmen
and consequent heavy expendi-
lures.
This data shows vast differenc.
in the cost per capita even in tn
same county. In one county tn.
average cost per capita is $3.50
while in one district it cost
, St45.75 per pupil and in anothe
district in the same county
costs only SiO.O5 per pupil.
There is also a vast differenc
: in the financial resources Of tn
2 different counties and even of tn
