FOR FROM STOCK FUND

The provisions made for the special
stock fund. which is levied directly
against all classes of stock, being 20
cents per 800 valuation, has proven
adequate TO take care of the extra
drain imposed by the condemning Of
cattle throughout the state. according
to reports given out
A fund of approximately 100000 was
created by the tax and on December !
nearly $1,000 remained unexpnded.

upon to pay for tubereular condemned
nearly $1,000 remained nnexpended
All the bills for such condemnation
are paid upon the receipt from the
state Inspector and the federal man
Valuations have been placed from 500

No GREAT FUSS
OVER NEW YEAR

No great demonstration was made in
this community in watching the year
1919 take its last gasp, and the new
born year of 1920 come into life with
a good healthy kick. A few watch
parties, to be sure were on the job to
welcome the new year and bid adieu
to the one just closed. However the
old spirit of merriment and hilarity
was missing. The goodly we're not
awakened from their sleep by the
firing of guns and the changing of
bells, nor the shouts of the merry
The spirit of the occasion as carried on
in bygone years must have died with
the spirits of refreshment. and while
no doubt there is much liquor still to
be had--if you pay the price, people
who have been reading the daily press
are just-a little bit alarmed of getting
a shot OF wood alcohol from the bot
tie that formerly brought cheer. The
bootleggers are finding business a lit
tie bit dull as result of the action of
booze dealers In the east.

MOST DISTRICT TEACHERS
GET BETTER SALARY

NJ. j. Burr, deputy state superin-
tendent of the fourth supervision dis
trict, which includes Douglas county.
has prepared statement showing
what action has been taken by the
school officers of the district in gen.
eral in increasing teachers salaries in
an effort to meet the rapidly mount
ing cost of living. and thus to do a
share in an effort to hold men and wo-
men in the ranks of the teaching pro-
fession
He has discovered that in eight
of the rural districts the teachers for
the year 1890 will receive lower
yearly salaries than heretofore,
though the monthly salary is higher.
The difference is accounted for in the
fact tina the terms have been shorten
ed In twelve schools there have
been no increases. In thirty-six of the
rural schools salary increases vary
ing from five to thirty dollars per
month have meen made.
In town schools where three or
more teachers are employed four re-
port no increases, while in nineteen
of the schools the teachers are receiv-
ing from five to thirty dollars more
per month as result of the action of
the trustees.
No increased salaries are reported
by two high schools of the first class.
In twenty-five of the schools of the
same class the increases vary from
five to thirty dollars per month per
teacher
One second class high school is pay
ing its teachers less than heretofore.
Three have made no change, while
sixteen have granted monthly in
creases of from five to thirty-five
dollars
No increases have meen made by
six of the elementary schools. Fifty

Advertising
Rates Advaced
To Meet Needs

In order to meet the increased cost
of operation the Record-Courier has
found it necessary to advance the
rate of advertising, and beginning
into effect Hereafter the charge will
be by the issue and not by the month
as has heretofore been the rule.
To conduct this paper four week out
of the year without any revenue from
our advertising columns. is an i'm
possibility under the present high
cost of operation.
During the past three years. the In
creased cost of living and the stead
lily advancing price OF everything re-
quired in newspaper making, has been
borne by the publisher. and 1t is a
load that we can no longer shoulder.
No matter whether you are engaged In
farming, storekeeping or any line of
business, you must realize reason
able profit. The same rule applies in
publishing a newspaper, and to bring
this about, slight increase in our ad-
yertising rates is made. Several ad-
vertisers have even suggested this
step to us, and we feel that every one
who is using the Record-Courier to
send their weekly messages into 500
homes in this section, will willing pay
a jus. increase.

HUNTING DOWN
bOOTLECGERS

Prompted by reports from many
sections of the country that scores of
deaths had been caused by the drink
ing of denatured alcohol, Collector of
Internal Revenue Jnstus s. Wardell
said today that he would use every
means at his disposal to impose the
ultimate penalties of the law upon So
called "bootleggers" and other per-
sons responsible for any misuse of
completely denatured alcohol in which
blindness and death lurk when taken
internally.
Collector Wardell pointed out that
for months past the Bureau of Intern
al Revenue had zealously endeavored
TO make known to the public the grave
dangers of either external or internal
uses OF completely denatured alcohol
1t being shown that the use of 1t for
bathing and rubbing purposes was
highly injurious to the skin and ami
nal tissues and where used for beve-
rage purposes blindness and death re-
suited.
The collector further said that In
this district the daily and weekly press
had repeatedly published these warn
ings at his request and that all whole
sale and retail druggists were notified
that the skull and cross-bones symbol
and the word "poison" must be printed
in red ink on all labels affixed to
packages of completely deuatured
alcohol held for sale.
