A food map Of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine

have maintained marine commerce

In the large centers of population
Belgium and northern France, as

because they stand in a different rela-

Will Paxton Dead

Seth Paxton, who has been at
the Plumlee Hospitalin Roy since
his recent serious illness from
pneumonia, received a message
Saturday bearing the sad news
of the death Of his brother, Col.
Will Paxton, at his home at
Humboldt, I'll. last Saturday
after an illness of ten days from
f u and Pneumonia.
Col. Paxton was called home a
short time ago by the illness Of
his wife and daughter and arriv-
ed to find them better but he
contracted the plague and died.
1t seems incredible to uswho saw
him here so recently, the very
embodiment of health and vigor
that he is gone, and forcibly re-
minds US that none are sure Of
the life tenure for a single day
Seth Paxton was prostrated by
the news ofhis brothers death
and was in a serious condition
but has rallied again.

School Money

County Superintendent, Minor
Rudulph sends US a statement of
the apportionment of Mora Coun
ty School funds for December
that the people may know about
their school funds.
The school fund of $40, ,721.S4 is
distributed among the 4,791 pu-
pills at the rate Of 1922 per pupil.
Roy District with 1863 scholars
gets $3.50. II, Mora with 305 pu-
pills gels $683. 20 and the rest in
proportion.
He also apportions from county
taxes paid in the sum Of $249O.21
which gives the Roy District
$4,000 more.
These tables are SO long that
we cannotpublish them in full
for lack of facilities but have them
on file for those who wish infor-
nation about any district in the
county.
1t is a good reason for regret
that Mr.. Rudulph was not given
an opportunity to 90 on another
two years with the good work he
has done in this county. He is
the best, most honest and pro-
gressive county superintendent
this county has ever had. a
