FURTHER RECOGNITION
VOTED PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Washington, Jan. 6. (By Capital
News Service. )-Changes which will
result from elections held in Virginia,
Texas, Wyoming, Louisiana and Utah
on amendments to school laws, were
given in brief form, recently, in this
bulletin, and in this issue synopses
of the changes which have been vot-
ed in California, Georgia, Nebraska,
and Ohio are given as follows:
California adopted by vote OF al
most two to one an amendment to the
constitution providing for the financ-
ing of elementary and secondary
schools. 1t fixes the annual state con-
tribution for elementary schools at
$50 per pupil, which is an increase
of approximately so per cent and
makes it impossible to reduce this
amount except by vote of the people;
and fixes the annual state contribu-
ton for high school purposes at $40
per pupil, which is an increase of
100 per cent.
1t writes into the constitution the
provisions of the county high school
fund bill, which has promoted the
development of CALIFORNIA; high
schools, and the provisions of the
county elementary school tax law
making their repeal impossible ex-
cept by vote OF the people. 1t guar
antees that all the money raised b.
the state and so per cent of the
money raised by the county for
school purposes shall be used for
teaching.
Georgia adopted constitutional am
endments which practically create
new educational constitution. The
last constitutional convention in
Georgia met in 1877. 1t was hostile
to public education and it curtailed
the taxing power, making 1t almost
impossible to obtain local aid for edu-
cation thru local taxation. To rem
edy this situation two amendments to
the constitution were ratified by
large majorities by the people on No
vember 2. The first amendment re-
uuires every county to levy tax
thruout its boundaries in addition to
state aid received. The second re.
moves restrictions against state ap-
preparations for high schools.
Nebraska's state SUPPLEMENTARY
is changed from two to four-year
Office. with salary change from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year by con.
stitutional amendment adopted by the
people.
Schools Of Cleveland. Ohio. receiv-
ed increased support by educational
measures passed by overwhelming
majorities. Issue of school bonds tc
the amount Of $15,OOO,OOO was au:
thcrized "for the purpose of purchase
ing sites for schoolhouses, to erect
schoclhouses, and to furnish the
same" An additional school tax
levy was voted, not to exceed three
mills, for not more than five years.
This will provide 100000 or ST.
o0o.o00 year for five years for the
Cleveland schools. A third measure
provides that interest and sinking
fund levies on account OF Out-stand-
ing bonds of the city school district
Of the city Of Cleveland shall be ex-
empt from all tax limitations.

COWS TURN CHEAP
GRAIN INTO PROFIT

A greater profit may be made
from feeding grain to dairy
cows this winter than ever be-
fore, on account of the law price
of grain and the high price of
butterfat.-A. J. Mcclure, live
stock and dairy specialist with
the agricultural extension divi-
sion, University of Minnesota.
Mr.. Mcclure has long been a stu
dent of feed requirements for the
production of butterfat. He has
found that the average common COW
is capable OF producing 200 pounds Of
butterfat a year. The average half
blood dairy COW can surpass the av-
erage common cow by SO pounds Of
butterfat year while the average
high grade and purebred cow is cap
able. if properly handled, of produce
ing 900 pounds og bptterfat year.
ut requires certain amount of
feed to produce a pound of butter
fat" says Mr.. Mcguire, land the
amount Of feed required depends up
on the kind of feed and also upon
the kind Of cow. A ration composed
of IS pounds of clover or alfalfa hay,
30 pounds of corn silage, s pounds
of ground oats r. and 8 pounds Of
ground corn, contains sufficient feed
for COW weighing 1000 pounds and
producing a pound of butterfat day,
or rs pounds Of 4 per cent milk. The
cost iof this ration at farm prices
may be estimated at between 20 and
= rs cents. The whole ration can be
produced on the average Minnesots
farm, and it is good ration for milk
production.
"Without clover or alfalfa hay in q
ration, a greater amount Of grain il
required for the production Of one
pound of butterfat in a dav. A IA
ton composed of timothy or wild ha.
or corn slower would ranu're Tally II
pounds Of grain composed of
pounds of bran, pounds Of oilmeal
s pounds Of ground oats and
pounds of ground corn. The cost o.
this ration would be one-fifth highe
On account Of the greater amount o.

occur when one of the brides and
the other bridegroom miss the boat

amusing and original.
Billy Lynn. principal comedian Of

Of pugilistic tendencies. Dorothy
Shirley is petitely charming as the

her debut in the fall Of 1901. when
she was but Is years old. For a

That Miss Farrar is all woman as

Miss FarPar> has a most remarkable
collection. Particularly wonderful
are her Russian sables which prob
ably can be matched only by those
owned by the imperial and very few
pTincely families of Russia, and by
a few OF the very rich nOtables Of
China. These sables came from
China shortly after the campaign of
1900 and quite possibly were a part
of the loot OF that famous expedi-
ton. At any rate they found their
way to Paris where they were held
for a huge sum. What Miss Farrar
called one Of her first extravagances
was the purchase of these furs and
this extravaganza made a decided
hole in her earnings of one season.
None the less. her canny New
England instinct served her right, as
1t has many times. The furs today
are worth at least half as much
again as they were when she bought
them and in the meantime she has
had the intense feminine satisf' c.
ton of knowing that she owns
some of the finest sables in the world
and can wear them whenever ii suit
her fancy. They consist of a huge
coat that falls to her heels, a great
