OF any loss OF stock in this vicinity
but travel is mighty slow and likely
will be for few days. The tempera-
ture is slightly colder but not enough
to cause much suffering for people or

The average annual cost of educa.
tion per pupil in Colorado public
schools, based upon the average daily
attendance, is $129.9S, according to
compilations made by the State I'M
migration Department for use In the
Colorado Year Book. The average
cost based upon the total enrolment
in theschools is $91.16.
These averages are for the school
year ending July /, 1929. and are cal.
culated from data contained in the
records of the state superintendent
of public instruction. They are bas-
ed upon the total expenditures for
school purposes for the year and may
include some expenditures for per-
manent improvements which are not
properly chargeable to the cost Of
education for the current year. Total
expenditures reported for the year
were $19.579.54s.
Cost In Denver are above the aver
age for the state. being s102.25 and
$156.26 respectively Highest costs,
however. are found in rural districts
where attendance is comparatively
small. In San Juan county. for ex-
ample, the average cost based upon
attendance is $213.6s. and in Sagu.

FARMERS MEETING PROVES
INTERESTING AND PROFITABLE

The second of the series of far
mers' meetings, being held at the
Holyoke High School building. was
held Saturday night. March 10. Be
tween sixty and seventy men and
women attended the separate meet.
inEs listening to interesting and help.
ful talks by the various speakers. and
some good. general discussions re.
suited from some Of the questions
taken up.
In the previous meeting Judge Weir
handled the topic. ''What the Dairy
Cow Would do for Phillips County" /"
in u very efficient manner. and sum.
mary OF his discourse could very well
be put in the simple statement that
the farmers who are receiving a
steady income and who are feeling the
effects OF the present hard times the
least OF, any are the ones who are
milking a string OF good producing
cows. Proof for this statement was
brought out In reports from various
sections OF the country which show
that wherever the milk COW, and the
by.products In the way Of feed for
calves pigs and chickens. are
handled In nm efficient manner. there
will be found more comfortable con.
dition among the bank balances and
paid up living bills Of that particular
class OF farmers.
Mr.. Clark gave some valuable In
formation and good sound advice on
the subject OF feeding OF milk cows
with the classes of feeds we have In
this county. He laid special stress on
the nses and value of silage for feed.
Ing any class OF cnttle and there was
no doubt In the mind OF anyone pres.
ent that lie was capable OF giving
good advice Oh the subject.
Some good live questions were
raised for discussion from these talks
aud Il is 10 be regretted that everyone
In the county. who In Interested In
live stock. could not be present to
listen TO the discussions. II was the
sentiment OF those who attended that
an active campaign should be made
for the future meetings to induce a
much >larger attendance. because this
Is movement that Is decidedly worth
while and one that could be carried
to much moro profitable end with
the proper interest.
In the womnns' meeting definite
plans were laid for the future and In.
dications point toward very sue.
cessful series OF discussions and Of
practical problems to be- worked out.
The Saturday night meetings were
followed by very nice luncheon
brought by the ladies'. Il was dccitl.
cd that In the future each lady brinE
some one article Of food. u cake
doughnuts. cookies. or sandwiches
then everyone will be we'll supplied
with refreshments and viii leave with
that satisfied feeling tina, the whole
evening has been decidedly worth
while.
