DIVISION MADE OF
NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS.

DIVISION MADE OF
NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS.
Twenty-eight states have received
checks totaling S6l9, ,933 from the United
States Treasury as their share of the re-
ceipts from the National Forests for the
fiscal year ending June 30th. An ad-
ditiona S247,9 ,977 of the receipts has
become available for road and trail con-
struction by the Forest Service of the
National Forests Of these same States;
making a grand total Of 1867 $3.50.
The amounts are considerably smaller
than for the previous fiscal year, when
the total was 81 ,652, ,0SS. This is due
largely to the concession made by Con-
gress to stock men, whereby they are
allowed until December lst to pay their
grazing fees due last spring. This ac-
ton was made necessary by the wide
spread depression in the livestock busi-
ness. A small portion Of the reduction
is due also to a falling off in timber sale
receipts of the forests due to business
conditions.
Only States within which National
Forests exist share in the receipts. By
Act of Congress, twenty-five per cent of
the funds derived from timber sales,
grazing fees, special uses, etc are re-
turned to the States for roads and schools.
The amount thus received is redistribut-
ed to counties in lieu of taxes, based on
the area of National Forest land within
their boundaries. In addition, ten per
cent of the forest receipts are spent
within the counties by the Forest Ser.
vice on road and trail construction and
maintenance.
California was the largest beneficiary
of this division, receiving a total of
slS5, 1906 Sc; Oregon was second with
Sl02, 489 81; South Dakota received S2l,-
952. So.

property with warning that "vioence
of any nature will not be tolerated by

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The pupils of the ifth and sixth grades
have secured for Mrs. Tibbetts' room q
flag, and pictures of the Presidents OF
the United States, by means of sale Of
pencils to pupils in the other grades.
Examinations for the first six weeks
occurred last Friday. The results indi-
cate that most Of the students are taking
the work in school seriously.
The Juniors assumed the responsible
ity of the Post Exam. party. They pro-
vided good music, good "eats," good
service, and a delightful time for the
group who attended.
Mr.. Harold Hanley presented the
matter of the sale Of the tickets for the
Lyceum to the boys and girls of the
seventh and eighth grades and the High
School on an afternoon last week. Mr..
Hanley made it emphatic that although
dozen of the business men are back of
the proposition, it rests to great extent
with the boys and girls to see that more
than the expense Of the Course is OBJ
tanned The surplus is turned over to
the school for any helpful purpose.
hundred tickets for adults were distrib-
uted the next day. May they all be
sold.
The students have the promise Of an
extra so per cent of any excess that may
be obtained. Carlyle says: "All that a
university or final highest school can do
for us, is still but what the first school
began doing-teach US to read. We
learn to read in various languages, in
various sciences; We learn the alphabet
and letters of all manner of books, but
the place where We are to get knowl-
edge, even theoretic knowledge, is the
books themselves" And we do need
books so much.

CAMPAIGN OF 1922
Begins Next Month by the Election of
Precinct Proposalman Under the
Present Law

The Hot Springs Star says Since the
last legislative session amended the pri-
mary law in several particulars there is
inquiry as TO Just what has to be done
under the law as it now stands, and not
only what, but when,
While there were several amend
ments, they did not change the macAin-
cry in any way so far as the nominating
features are concerned, and the cam
paign to select county and state officers
in November 1922 starts in November
1921.
The first step toward nominations un-
der the existing law starts under the
provision which requires the County
Auditor, on or before November lst, to
deliver to the chairmen of the different
party central committees a sufficient
number of blank ballots for the precinct
primaries in the counties these being
prepared for the selection of one mem
Der of the county central committee
and three proposalmen from each pre-
cinct.
On the second Tuesday in November
this year November Sth-precinct pri-
maries are to be held by the different
parties in the different precincts and the
propo0almen SO selected are the ones
who will later decide the makeup Of the
different county tickets for the next
year. These primaries are to be open
ed at II o'clock in the forenoon and to
be kept open two hours, or longer, if
necessary, to allow those attending to
vote.
The proposaman elected at the meet
ing are to meet at the county seats Of
the various counties on the third Tues
day in November, the 10Th to select
three proposalmen who will attend the
state proposal meeting in December, the
county proposalmen again to meet to Sc
Iect the county tickets.
The county propoaalmen selected will
meet at the state capitol on the first
Tuesday in December-Decembe 9th
this year-to take the necessary action
to name the selections of the majority
and minority ofeach party, which names
will be presented to the voters at the
state primary to be held the fourth Tues
day in March next year.
Incidentally under the provisions Of
the law as it is drawn, if K. o. Richards
desires to be candidate for governor in
the next campaign, the minority fac
tions of the republican party will be
compelled to accept him and his plat
| form as the policy on which the cam
paign is to be conducted by the minor
lty. This is under the provisions of the
law making an Independent party candi-
date who can secure 10 per cent of the
vote of such candidate the minority can
ddate in the next campaign, if he de
sires to become a candidate.

COM MUNITY CHURCH
Methodist and Congregational Churches Of
Custer Agree to Unite Forces for
Greater Community Service.

The much talked Of Community
Church is here. For several months
past the subject Of a get together move
ment for the protestant churches of our
little city has been quite strongly dis
cussed in an informal way. A joint
committee representing the NJ. +. and
Congregational churches have been gath
ering information from various sources,
while many others both inside and out
side of the churches have been agitatiug
and encouraging the good work along.
The movement was finally launched
at meeting last Monday night held at
the Congregational church where the
Official Board of the Methodist church
met in Joint session with the officers of
the Congregational church. the Congre-
gational people at a special meeting in
July having voted iavoring Church
Union. and without dissenting vote
entered into an agreement to federate
the working forces of the two churches.
No time will be lost in bringing to
pass the necessary organization for the
movement. The first step decided upon
was to invite the Rev Mr.. Tarlton, of
Hot Springs, who has been pastor of a
| federation of churches there for year,
to come over to Custer and address a
| mass meeting of our community, and to
give suggestions along the line of organ
ization. This meeting will be held at as
early date as possible, probably the
first Of next week.
The plan agreed upon will not neces.
state either church giving up its iden-
tity, church rolls will not be effected
each church will continue to own its
property as heretofore, each will keep
up its own beneyoences, etc. But De-
nominationism will be lost sight Of, one
pastor instead of two will be called who
will represent not the NJ. +. or Congre-
gational churches, but the Community
Church, Your Church. All meetings
will be Community Meetings. The two
Sunday Schools will be merged into one,
the Young Peoples forces will be unit
ed, the CLoirs will join forces, the Boys
Clubs, the Girls Clubs, the Mems Clubs,
as well as the work of the women, will
be promoted not from Denominational
point of view, but with a view to build
ing stronger and better citizenship for
the Community.
Great Opportunity.
Here is the great opportunity for
which we have all been longing-lo,
these many years-the Peoples Church,
as indeed it will be if you Mr.. Farmer,
Mr.. Workingman, Mr.. Merchant and
Banker, Mr.. Lawyer, Mr., Miss or Mrs.
Teacher, if you, man or woman, boy or
girl, who lives within and loves Custer
community, here is your Great Oppor
tunity to give expression to the Bigness
Of your soul. Take off your coat and
"te in
Further announcement regarding the
Federation of Churches of Custer will
be published in the very near future.
Get ready for business. If anybody has
a good idea which has been tried out
which may be Of help in this great
movement, will you please communicate
it to one Of the following men or to any
body else who will see that it is given
consideration.

COVERED
 WITH PEOPLE

Riga, Latvia, July s-The chaotic conditions and daily tragedies that followed upon resumption of free trade in South Russia are described graphically by a writer for the Mos COW IsveStia, who has just made a trip through the Ukraine.
 The peasants, he says, carrying sacks of grain or other food to the cities are literally overwhelming the railways. He thus describes the ap- into Kiev.
 Along the tracks is crawling huge grey caterpillar-a train covered all over with the grey masses of food neither cars nor locomotives can be distinguished. The grey mass cov- CTS everything, the car roofs, the steps and even the spaces between cars. Every available nook is occu- pied. Everything is filled up. Only when the train begins to slow down, nearing Kiev station. it begins to shed it's grey fleece Little by little, while yet in motion. the locomotive and car roofs begin to uncover:
 "At Kiev all outbound trains are literally pasted all over with people On the locomotive, cars, firewood truck, water tank and under the cars-anywhere that it is only poss1- ble-people fasten themselves to every hook, nail or crevice- Those who have been fortunate enough to get d place on a brake platform are looked upon as favorites of fortune, who are comfortable for their whole trip.
 The departure of every strain is accompanied by lamentations, walls, crying, shooting and all kinds of ac- cidents. When the train is begin ming to get in motion, those who were not able to board it and those who have been forcIbly removed from it start mad rushes for it again. The military attachments, whose duty it is to maintain order during the boarding of trains, run after the trains, pulling down some of the surplus passengers who have manag- ed to fasten on to them, while from others caps are pulled off and so on.
 E'One of the results of this state of affairs is that porters take 5O,000 to T5. 900 rubles for guaranteed place on the train.
 Another result is that the Kiev railway shops every month have to make about 800 collins for food car riers who have been run over by the trains"
 NJ. Dzerzhinsky, head of the "Cheka," or Committee to Combat Counter Revolution, known as one of the most efficient men in Soviet Russia, has been appointed by Le- nine as Conmissar of Railways to regular this traffic of food carriers.
