est condition in their history, Elmer
A. Benson, state commissioner of
banks, stated recently in announcing
that the Palisade State Bank, the last
OF the state banks to undergo reor-
ganization following the bank holiday

banks through the taking out of poor
assets" Mr.. Benson asserted. "As a
result our banks in Minnesota now
occupy leading position of all the
states in the union"

DRUGS
AID MEDICINE

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. U.P)-Mod-
ern medicine owes many remark
able cures to recent inventions and
discoveries, but still turns for many
cures to drugs and herbs discover
ed by Indians long before Column
bus was born.
Not only were the drugs discov-
cred by Indians, but they were used
to cure the same diseases that
physicians prescribe them for to-
day.
These facts are brought out in
a striking manner in the display
of American Indian medicine in
the Hall of Science, Worlds fair.
Show cases are filled with such
drugs as capsicum, peruvian bark,
cascara. coca, mandrake, snake
root, and black cherries. IN were
used by Indian medicine men.
Capsicum is used today for the
treatment of neuralgia, pneumon-
la, and diphtheria. Peruvian bark,
called quinine after it is refined,
is used in the cure of tropical few
err. Cascara, whose curative prop
critics were known by the Indians
of the Pacific coast, is used today
as a purgative. Coca, used as a
stimulant by the aborigines is used
today in the form Of cocaine and
novacaine. Snake root is used in
salves as a cure for certain types
of irritation.

SCHOOLS SEEK
MORE FUNDS.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. Is. U.H -
Plans for a series of hearings on
700 petitions from California school
districts for permission to exceed
the per cent budget increase lin
itation of the Riley-Stewart tax
plan, were announced today by the
state board of equalization.
Alphabetically, the hearings be-
fore the board here will follow this
schedule:
Alameda to Kern counties inclu-
sive, Wednesday, August Is; Kings
to San Luis Obispo counties, Thurs
day, and the remaining counties,
Friday.
The following telegram was re-
ceived this morning by Edward
Law, county clerk of the board of
supervisors from the state board
of equalization in Sacramento:
will consider all applications of
school districts in your county to
exceed newly imposed limitations on
expenditures proposed for current
fiscal year at hearing in Sacra-
mento, Wednesday, August Is, COM
mencing at 10 a. M, and cOntinu-
ing throughout the day. Detailed
information regarding increased ap-
plications is available from the
school superintendent"
When asked about these applica-
tons, c. B. Collins, county school
superintendent, said that the new
law states that if any district pro-
poses to spend in excess of five per
cent over last years budget, this
district must have two-thirds
vote of the entire district or the
proposal must be approved by the
board of equalization.
He stated further that he had
no time to get in touch with the
different school districts of the
county and so had to make out
these applications himself.
Asked why SO many districts
would wish to exceed last years
budget the superintendent said that
owing to the go day moratorium
on tax collections in the state, the
money which would have been
collected earlier and used for
school expenses had to be gathered
at later date. This, he said, has
in many instances to be added to
the expenditures of this year to
pay hold-over expenses of last year
which could not be met when due
owing to the lack of necessary
funds.

Mrs. Moody Wins
In First Round

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. Is.
U.P)-Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, the
favorite, and Helen Jacobs, the
defending champion, led the field
through today's first round of the
national Women's tennis champion
ship, which was completed without
single form reversal.
Apparently favoring the lame
back which kept her out of the
Wightman cup play a fortnight
ago, Mrs. Moody did not exert her
self in winning as she pleased over
DR.. Esther Bartosh, husky, good
natured Los Angeles physician.
Mrs. Moody lost a game to DR.. Bar
tosh IS service in the first set, and
two in the second.
Although DR.. Bartosh boosted al
most no backhand, the top-Seeded
favorite did not play to the offside.
She remained in the backcourt
through the march, and of course,
was never in danger.
