 for Each District.

Apportionment of state and county school funds for the ensuing F months was completed Tuesday by County Treasurer T. J. Bullion, following the meeting of the county board of educa- tion here Saturady, when. the funds were totaled, and the amount per pu- pil determined. This year the county will receive from the state school tax a total of 8,023.96, a slight decline from the 1919 amount. From poll taxes, the revenue derived is $5,033. .56, making gross total of $33, ,057 .o2.

 With the exception of the city of Conway, in which a gain of 179 per sons of school age was made, the coun- ty showed a slightly smaller school this year, and consequent ly was given a smaller amount from the state tax. The Conway special dis trict has 1,750 persons of school age, giving it revenue of $5,057.50.
 MT. Bullion stated that the amount set aside for the use of the county board of education includes the salary of the county superintendent for a period of six months, from January 1 to June 30, 1921. The balance re- maining after this has been taken out will be used for handling the business of the board. AS apportioned on the basis of $2.89 per pupil, school dis tricts of the county will receive the following amounts:

BONUS TO TRAVELLERS
 AIM OF LOCAL FANS

The numerous Conway admirers of the Little Rock Travellers have start ed a movement for a local contribu- tion to the bonus being raised in all parts of the state to be given mem- bers of the team in recognition of their work in winning the Southern League Pennant Ben c. Bradley of the City News Stand has started a fund, and sport fans who wish to con- tribute may leave any amount there. The names of all contributors will be published in the Log Cabin Democrat, and the amount forwarded to the proper authorities in Little Rock. A big contribution to the Traveller bonus came in from Dermott yesterday, and other cities of Arkansas are represent ed.

Man ager Elberfield and his men have put Little Rock and the state on the base ball map, and ready response is be- ing had to the suggestion for an ap- propriate bonus in money.
