The story of this strange old man

turned to London after a fifteen
months tour in the East. He said:
IT had chartered a lugger for
cruise in the Aratura Sea, and /
was asked to drop a bag of rice on
the island-whose name I shall not
divulge-for this old hermit.
IT learned on the way from those
who had already seen him that he
was shipwrecked thirty years ago

the island in open boats. They lived
on the island for three years before

LONDON, Feb. 11.-London Is suf-

The number of influenza victims
collapsing suddenly in the street IL
increasing.
Tramway car conductors and police
men are notably affected, and there
are few business offices without some
absentees.. More than 300 girl en-
ployes of an insurance company are

Several sessions courts in the prov
inces have had to be adjourned, the
recorders and barristers having been
attacked by influenza. Lancashire
and Yorkshire are suffering very
badly, and the death rate is very
heavy.
The diphtheria outbreak in Lon.

record. There are 3,215 cases, as
compared with 2,562 and 1921 at the

NATIONAL FOREST
MONEY FOR SCHOOLS

ALBUQUERQUE N. NJ, Oct. 12.-
The sum of $6,548.76 is being turned
over by the Forest service to the
Arizona state officials to be placed
in the state school and road fund,
trict forester, in charge of the four
teen national forests of Arizona and
New Mexico.
Governors of % states have just been
notified that in accordance with fed
| eral law, 25 per cent of the $4,421 ,b31
received from timber sales, grazing
permits and other sources of national
| forest revenue for the past fiscal
year will be distributed by the forest
service, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. This money is returned to
states in which national forests are
located for expenditure upon schools
and roads.
An additional 10 per cent of the
total receipts is spent each year by
the forest service for construction OF
roads and trails within the forests.
This sum for the present year amounts
to $27,S19.50 for Arizona. While the
primary purpose of road and trail
building within the forests is for bet
| ter administration of the forests and
better protection against forest fires,
many outlying communities as well as
| individual settlers are greatly bene-
fitted by them and system of good
mountain roads and trails is being
gradually built up.
The school and road fund that is
to be divided aggregates over a million
i dollars. 1t will be prorated among
the % states in proportion to the
receipts from the national forests To-
Gated in them. Since the establish
ment of the national forests the sums
returned to these states have steadily
Increased and now reach a total of
almost Ia million dollars that has been
contributed directly to the develop
ment of the states by the national for
ests within their borders.
Arizona, according to gross receipts
from national forests and amounts to
be given over to state treasures,
stands fourth in the list of states that
are included in the division of ma
tional forest money at this time. Cali
fornia, where federal timber lands re-
turned to the governpment $628,765
during the past year, leads the list
and will receive $157,191. New Mex
leo is the eighth with $44,975 as her
share of the distribution for schools
and roads.
