Lightning Strikes In Two Storms
There Recently


During the storm on Tuesday
night of last week, the wind blew
down a. shed on the Erwin Hill farm

side of the house in two rooms
Quite lot of plaster was knocked
off. A large mirror that hung on the
wall was completely demolished, and
a davenport was considerably dam
aged. Mr.. Walker carried insur-
ance which will partly cover the
loss. "A telephone message was re-
ceived here last Sunday evening
stating that two and half years
old son of Willie Bolinger had been
drowned at Burr Oak in Athens
county, in creek that flows through
the village. The child with some
other children was on bridge over
the stream when in some way it fell

peared and was not found until
about $50 Monday morning. X. K.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Boston wool dealers report a little
better feeling, despite some price cut
ting by those anxious to sell. Dupli-
cate business in heavyweight worst
eds for mems wear is increasing
slowly, and this has resulted in a
better inquiry for both wool and
yarns. The improvement comes very
slowly, and the trade is trying to
handle the new clip season in the
west very conservatively. Manufac-
turers are buying wool wherever they
find holders willing to make conces-
sions. There has been further busi-
ness in foreign wool in bond for ex-
port, but the movement appears to be
slackening, owing to slightly more
oppressive attitude on the part of the
manufacturers. Shearing is becoming
more general in the territory wool
sections, but eastern buyers are try
ing to hold down values, and thus far
have succeeded. The season is rap
idly getting under way in Texas, Bos-
ton houses having recently bought
heavily of both wool and mohair.
Wool prices in that state are consid-
erably below last years opening, and
the same is true of operations to date
in other sections. Foreign advices
continue strong, though very little
wool remains to work upon, either in
London or in colonial markets.

MARKET REPORT
**%%%%+%4%%@$44 - =
April 21, 1924.

Fat cattle today held fully steady,
and trade in stockers and feeders was
quiet at steady prices Receipts were
slightly less than week ago. De-
mand from killers was fairly active.
Lower prices in Chicago, where re-
ceipts were liberal, turned hog prices
down again. Here prices averaged 5
cents lower, with general trade active.
Sheep receipts were below urgent
needs and prices advanced 10 to Is
cents.
TOday's Receipts
| Receipts today were 10000 cattle.
$4,000 hogs, and 1000 sheep, COM
pared with $4,000 cattle, $4,000 hogs
and 1000 sheep week ago, and
12,20O cattle, 1885 hogs and 1880
sheep year ago.
Beef Cattle
Trade in fat cattle ruled active at
steady prices. In some cases the me-
dunn to fair classes of killing steers
which showed most of the decline last
week were quoted up 10 to Is cents.
There was a firm tone in the general
market. Good to choice steers sold
at $40 to $11.50, and fair to good
kinds $3.50 to $9.85. Seven carloads
of South Texas steers sold in the
quarantine division at $6.25 to SITS.
Cows and heifers were in active de-
mand at firm prices. Killers bought
freely and there was good shipping
demand. Choice heifers and cows are
scarce, and the plain to medium |
classes fairly plentiful. Calves were
steady.
Stockers and Feeders
Trade in stock and feeding cattle
opened slowly at steady prices but
later there was an improved demand
and the market closed firm. Inquiry
for fleshy feeders broadened some.
Sheep and Lambs
Trade in the I-eep division was
fairly active at 10 to Is cents high
er prices. Clipped lambs sold at
$3.50 to $14.10, wooled lambs S15.75
to $16.25, and fat goats at $4.65 to
$3.50. Receipts were light and not
sufficient to fill packers orders.

FOREST FIRES ROB
SCHOOL AND ROAD
FUNDS OF COUNTIES

School and road funds always suf-
fer when national forest products are
destroyed by fire." saiys District For
ester Pooler of the u. S. forest SER
vice, because one-fourth of all the
revenue from the sale of timber, for
age, summer home permits and other
products of the national forests is
paid by the federal government to the
states, in lieu of taxes, to be used
for public schools and roads in the
counties where national forest lands
are situated, and reduction in gross
forest revenue shortens the school
and road funds in proportion.
For many years, under the provis-
ion of federal law, states in which
national forests are situated have re-
received 25 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts of the forest service. The
amount of this money is computed
promptly after the close of each fiscal
ually reaches the state treasurer be-
fore the first of September, or in am
pie time for the public school portion
of it to apply on the running ex-
penses of the school year.
With the remittance to the state
treasurer each year, the chief forester
at Washington sends table of forest
areas. It shows how much national
forest land is in each county and the
amount of the school and road money
that, based on the number of acres,
is properly due the county. When
the law first became operative in 1909
the school and road funds were not
large but as the forest service rev.
enues have increased from year to
year the school and road funds have
increased proportionately. For sew
eral years the payments by the gov
ernment into the school and road

funds of the southwest have had a
reals part in financing the public
school systems of the counties.
1T is doubtful" Mr.. Pooler says,
If there are any two states that
need steady certain income for
school and road purposes more than
do Arizona and New Mexico. The
benefits that come to the counties in
these states from the 25 per cent div
lsion of forest service receipts us
ually fall in the places where they
will do the greatest amount of good.
For instance, the share of Catron
county, New Mexico, which has only
a small taxable wealth was approxi-
mately $4,000 in 1923. The share
for Coconino county, Arizona, was
$4,000.
No figures are available to show
direct comparison between the
amounts received by the states from
the forest service and the amounts of
taxes from similar lands in private
ownership. It is believed, however,
that the $45,00O that went to New
Mexico in 1928, and the $105,000 that
was paid to Arizona closely approach
the taxes collected on like areas of
other grazing and timber lands.
Neither the state nor the county,
the district forester points out, has
any expense or responsibility in the
collection of the 25 per cent of nat
ional forest revenue. The $15O.OOO
that came to Arizona and New Mex
leo in 1923 was a net amount and
could be counted on as surely as the
days and the seasons. State officials |
had merely to endorse the checks and |
apportion the money to the counties.
Even the county shares were figured
out for them.
The only hitch there can be in the |
certainty of school and road income,
according to Mr.. Pooler, is in cutting
down the gross revenue of the for
ests through wastage of forest prod
lcts. Increase in the cost of labor,
of fire tools or of any other thing
pertaining to the administration of
