STATE AID BEING SENT
TO RURAL SCHOOLS

The state aid provided by the
last legislature for rural schools
standardized by the state board
OF education last August is now
being sent out tc'the school
treasurers of the several school
districts. The delay was due to
the fact that taxes were slow in
coming in this year.
The amount distributed is 92,-
1855 dollars the largest in the
history of the state. This is an
increase of over thirty-two thous.
and dollars more than a year
ago. For next year the sum
total available is 1850 dollars.
The state aid is distributed
among three general classes of
rural schools, namely: One-room,
graded, and consolidated graded
schools. These in turn are grad
ed into first, second and third
classes. The amount of money
that each school receives depends
upon its class and the tax rate of
the district. For the one-room
rural schools, the state aid for
Year ranges from 80 to $50 dol
lars; for graded schools, from so
to 800 dollars; and for consolidat-
ed graded schools, from l38.O7
tc 552 dollars. The one-room
rural schools got their full
amount, but the aid for the con.
solidated schools had to be pro.
rated on account of the large
number classifying in proportion
to the funds available.
Inc largest proportion OF this
state aid goes to the western
counties on account of the large
number of schools classifying
and the much higher tax rates
there. For instance, Bowman
and Divine counties. separately
or combined, get more of the
state aid than do the more popul.

HELP NEEDED TO FILL
WAHPETON COAL BINS

Getting the coal is not the only
problem Wahpeton dealers face
this season. The labor situation
is another big factor they must
take cognizance of.
A Wahpeton dealer stated yes.
terday that his ability to fill the
many orders now on file in his
office earlp this summer depends
on his ability to get and keep the
necessary help.
One of the causes threatening
coal shortage in Fargo early last
winter was lack of help to un-
load the coal cars in the summer.
Several dealers stated yesterday
that they started to ship in coal
early last summer and when the
coal arrived they had to pay de-
murage because they failed to
unload the coal within the time
limit allowed. so we stopped
the coal shipments" said one
dealer. The result was that
when cold weather came there
was but very little coal in Wah-
peton and we had a hard time to
get cars to haul 1t in then. We
must get plenty of help to handle
the coal this summer while we
can get cars for it or we will face
the same conditions next fall and
winter. Z"
Wahpeton coal dealers are not
complaining on the profits of the
business under the present gov
ernment regulation. Unlike re-
ports from cities in the east, none
of them are thinking of going
out of business here.
Under the present fuel regula-
tions retail dealers are allowed to
deliver up six tons of hard coal
ITO a householder at once. After
all the customers have been pro-
vided up to this amount the deal
ers can begin to add to the sup
ply of those households requiring
larger amounts.

CANADIAN VOLUNTEERS
MADE A BIG HIT HERE

THE Volunteers" appeared at
the Wahpeton Opera House on
Monday and Tuesday nights to
packed houses and many had to
be turned away for lack of room.
The company had just come from
Canada showing the towns along
the way and when they reached
Wahpeton were greeted with
cordial hospitality by our people,
and the Reserve company of this
city escorted the Volunteers
about the city in autos and show
ed them around. At the Armory
hall Monday afternoon and at the
City Hall the following afternoon
the Volunteers related some of
their exploits and experience on
the European battlefelds.
The audience witnessed the
transition of a raw recruit to a
perfect piece of fighting machin.
cry, and the fortunes of a Canad-
ian battalion were followed from
the time of enlistment until the
brave lads met the Hun in death
grips in France.
There were four acts and IL
scenes in the production inter-
sperced with a scream, a riot of
mirth and side-splitting comedy,
and of which was produced re-
gardless of expense, so that a
worthy and faithful production
was witnessed. These included

TWO EBERTS FIELD

N, Y. REPUBLICANS
 IN CONFERENCE

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, July 17:-- Republican leaders from all parts of New York are gathering here today for the informal State assembly of the party, which will meet tomorrow. The large number of early arrivals indicates the interest and importance attached to the conference. 1t IS recognized that while ostensibly the meeting is held for the purpose of preparing State platform, that as a matter of fact the real purpose IS to bring the several party factions in- to agreement on candidate for gov ernor.
 Supporters of Governor Whitman declare the Governor will win the delegates without effort. Opponents of the Governor, on the other hand. appear confident that the convention will select another candidate. Upon whom the Whitman opposition may center their support is a matter of speculation. Sc far as surface indica- tions go there appears to be little en- thusiasm for either Merton E. Lewis
 ofl Rochester or former Congress- man William $. Bennett of New York City, both of whom have announced an intention to contest for the nom- ination in the primaries.
 The convention will be featured with addresses by Republican lead CTS of national prominence, who will voice the patriotism of the party with reference to the war and whose speeches will form the foundation of the platform upon which the Repub, lican campign will be waged in New York this fall. Former President Will liam H. Taft and former Senator Eli hu Root have accepted invitations to address the gathering. It is also ex- pected that Colonel Roosevelt will be among the speakers.

BONE DRYNESS
 DOESN'T CHECK
 SNAKE STORIES

Newport, July 17.-Clifford Perrin, 1lyear-old son of Van Perrin, who lives near the Dawson mill on White river, about 12 miles south of this city, was severely bitten by coach whip snake, which is said to be harmless.
 Young Perrin started to school ear ly yesterday morning and came upon the snake in his path. He attacked the snake with a stick. A lengthy fight ensued, the snae winding itself about the boys ankle with it's head against the instep and raising it's body proceeded to whip the boy across the back and arms until he was literally beaten black and blue. Young Perrin at last freed himself and ran. He was brought to Newport by Perry Hooper for medical treatment. His wounds are severe and painful, but the doctors think there will be no ill effects. Many people who have heard of coach whip snakes as myth were thoroly convinced that they are a reality after seeing the wounds that were inflicted upon the boy.

Little Meteorie Matter Now.

In the early days of it's history the earth grew rapidly by the addition of meteoric matter. It is still growing in the same manner, though scarcely to an .appreciable extent. for the masses of meteoric matter added yearly is reckoned to be only 10000 tons. In the course of ages the larger planets have swept up practically all the frag. ments of the original disruption. and the only available source of supply of meteoric matter seems to be that brought by comets.
