 DIVISION OF FUNDS
 How sthe county's educational funds shall be divided between the city schools and those of the rural districts is mat ter for the county board to determine and is a subject which has not yet come up. Whether the funds shall be distrib- uted between city and country on per capita basis on the number of teachers employed or on some other basis remains to be determined. It is one of the diff cult problems the board will have to solve, for it will have to be done in sucn way as to be just to all interests. Members of the county board receive no pay and yet their duties involve q great deal of work. They are directly responsible for the conduct of the county schools outside the incorporated munich palitieS of Birmingham and BeSsemer. They employ the county superintendent of education and his assistants and upon his recommendation employ and fix the salaries of all the teachers in the county. They look after the construction of all new school buildings and the keeping of the old buildings In repair. They must see that the compulsory school attend ance laws are enforced. They must make equitable distribution of the county's school money between city and country schools. In other words, they must con duct the school affairs in such manner as to get the very highest efficiency and the
 responsibility is upon them to get re-
 suits.
 ARRANGES SCHOOL DISTRICTS The board arranges the school districts of the county and is even now at work
 consolidating certain districts in order to provide grades. In some cases this neces- sitates providing bus line transportation for the children in order to get them to school each day. Children meet these busses along the regular routes and have the advantage of attending school wherc five or six teachers are employed as con- trasted with the one room, one teacher school of the old system.
 Though the new funds are not available until year from next October. education has been given such an impetus in the county that it's effect has been almost i'm | mediate.

What Did He Mean2

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was perfectly contented warden, says
a New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that man with frock coat and u
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three O'Clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour of the
prison and returned to his Office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: "Thirty
years ago my father, who was of me-
dium height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as heat denunciator in
a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for considerable time, he
told no one. However, it was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that a man would delib-
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? l ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use it for your own infor-
nation and proceed likewise. l leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading 1t
through for the ninety-third time.

STATE FAIR AS USUAL
RUMORS THAT SOUTH DAKOTA
STATE FAIR WILL NOT BIZ
HELD THIS YEAR
CONTRADICTED.

Huron, May Especial: 1t has
come to the knowledge Of the man
agement OF the state fair that i'm
some sections of the state it is ru-
mored hat no fair will be held this
year. In order to correct this wrong
impression the state board 'of agri-
culture wish 1t understood that the
state fair and exposition will be held
the same as usual, the 1917 dates
being September 10 to IA inclusive.
Greater arrangements have been
made than ever before in its history,
and the reservation of exhibit space
in the agricultural, horticultural and
machinery departments at present
writing Is far ahead of any previous
year. As to live stock. more entries
are assured and more herds are be
ing fitted. and in the swine futurities
which closed some time e. more
breeders are already enlisted than
last year.
Every state fair in the nation plans
on the best fair and will not postpone
the annual event. They believe there
is more reason than there ever was
to go ahead and present every posi-

the best methods of cultivation and
conservation of the crops. TO show
the latest improved machinery to aid
in increased production. One weeks
study of this at the state fair, com
bined with the entertainment fea-
lures, will stimulate all to return to
their labors, and the result will be
increased production and saving.
Canadian fairs the past three years
have greatly increased their attend
ance and receipts, and have been of
untold benefit in all that our great
nation is interested in. Fairs have a
patriotic duty TO perform, and they
will demonstrate that If they cannot
enlist in n way they can i'm an
other by aiding in the production
and conservation of more food. more
live stock. more of every commodity
familiar to the various localities.
