SCHOOL FUNDS APPoRTIoNED
Largest Ever Made in Idaho-Increase
Due to Collection of Interest on Loans.

The recent apportionment of school
funds for the various counties of the
state was the largest in the history of
Idaho. The apportionment was an
nounced on July by State Auditor Van
Deusen. 1t is based on the July census
of the schools and totals $685., 1921. 1t
is distributed among the various coun-
ties for total of 12s,066 school chill
dren. making 1922 per capita. This ap-
portionment is 100000 larger than any
previous apportionment made in this
state. In Idaho county the apportion-
ment amounted to $11 ,666.19 for 4,125
school children.
This money is the accumulated in
terest in the school fund and is appor-
toned pro rata among the counties. The
reason for the unprecedented increase
this wear is to be found in the new
efficiency of the treasury department.
The state is getting action on the col
lection of interest due on borrowed state
school money During the past year
borrowers of state money have been
given to understand that if they desired
to keep their respective loans and pre-
vent foreclosure proceedings they
would have to pay up their interest in
stallments as they came due, or which
were due. In many cases this interest
had not been payed up for five years
Under the new system much of this back
interest has been collected and old
loans have been renewed. This work is
in the hands of Register Stotts and he
has been very successful in getting in
| the moneys.

CROPS NEED RAIN BADLY.
Trip Over Rural Route No. Verifies
the Report.

The writer was out in the country the
first of the week over rural route one
and found the crops badly in need of
rain. Some places crops look as good
as usual but taken as a whole it this
section is not visited by copious rain
or two within the next ten days there
is going to be a big shortage in the
harvest. However, the country looks
mighty prosperous and the ranchers are
taking things philosophically, realizing
that old Camas Prairie has never as yet
failed to produce the big harvest. 1t
is really surprising the way the farms
are being improved and you will find a
great many farm homes more modern
than those in town. 1t is sure q delight
to get out in the country and take it
from us as cure for crouch there IS
no better medicine. And then too, if
you want rest for your stomach or to
sharpen up your appetite and know for
day you have old King Dypepsia &c
feated, take dinner at the hospitable
home of ..Jim'' Miller The Miller IS

lived ordinarily out there. How was it
| Well if man couldn t put on weight
and enjoy his meals at the Miller home
he would be mighty hard man to
please If Uncle Sam eonseripts us and
sends us out harvesting We are going to
ask to be sent to the Miller ranch. Yes
sir. for a vacation and real enjoyable
time when you are actually happy and
not making believe, drive out in the
country, impose upon some of your
friends and real dinner.

KAMIAH FLUKEs OUT.

The much advertised baseball game
between Grangeville and Kamiah which
was to have come off last Sunday was
looked forward to with anticipation by
local fans. And nobody expected
treachery until the last moment. The
Cowboy Band gave a short street con-
cert and proceeded to the High School
ball ground at three clock. But
when il was time to start the game only
three players from Kamiah were in
evidence. These gentlemen explained
that their brothers had been 1aiu uI
by an automobile accident on the road
and had nothing but their regrets to
send. The Grangeville boys still
desirous OF playing with some one tried
to frame up game with some Ferdi
nand players present who would take
part of the absent Indians. But thii
arrangement did not please the Kamiel
delegation and the game was called off
Whatever the causes of this ineiden
were Grangeville will remember tina
the Kamiah boys did not fulfill thei
agreement and sent in no word of
later decision,

FIRST APPLICATION
FOR STATE POLICY
FILED BY GOVERNOR

Governor Alexander has filed appli-
cation No. / with the State Insurance
fund and Will receive policy No. l writ
ten by that fund insuring the NJ. Alex
ander Co. Incorporated the Boise store
of the governor against loss from ac-
cidental injury that may be received
by the employees of that store, under
the Workmens Compensation act.
State Insurance Manager Bfoxon
reports that applications for Insurance
are now coming in rapidly as the pre-
liminary step necessary to be taken
by employers to ascertain the cost of
the insurance.
MANY small employers seem to feel
that the requirement that they should
either take out insurance in the state
fund or to give security bond Will
work a hardship upon them. As mat
ter of fact the insurance feature was
esta blished for the very purpose of
relieving the small employer more es-
pecially than the larger, and, there
fore, the more wealthy employer, from
hardship. II a small employer We're
not insured and one of his employees
should suffer an injury, it might take
the entire property of the small EN-
ploger to pay the loss. unless he car
ried Insurance, whereas, by Carrying
insurance. he may, for small sum in
the state fund. be relieved from his
losses resulting from injury to his
employees.
Many employers. without first as
certaming the premium rate. also seem
to feel that hardship will be imposed
upon them because there is little risk
to their particular employees Such
employers should understand that IL
the risk is small the cost of insurance
will be small, SO that again the fear
that hardship will be imposed is shown
to be without foundation"

said:
Wall street suffered today from a
bad attack OF nerves which the posi-
ton within the stock market in it
self tended to aggrayate. Prices of in
dustrial stocks and rails alike dropped
two points to seven points, save for
half dozen or so unimportant exGep-
tions. The volume of trading exceed
ed a million shares. The first hour and
a good part of the second were ex-
tremely active, but at mid -day bust
ness moderated although still of sub
stantial proportions. The behavior of
the market was more or less mystify-
ing. There was nothing so depressing
in the week end news developments as
to cause such broad downward
movement.
