Maintains It's Boom
Year Membership.

The American Legion Auxiliary Is
one organization which is maintaining
its membership above the level of the
boom" years, Mrs. James Mooaan
membership chairman Of the Frank
Lozar Post Unit of the Auxiliary. said
after receiving the March membership
figures from national headquarters
The Auxiliary entered March with a
total Of 244352 members enrolled for
1888, q larger March enrolment than
in any previous year except 1881 and
1882.
Approximately sixty per cent of the
figure set as the 1888 membership goal
had been reached by March LIST. The
large enrolment IN the face Of econ
omic conditions which make payment
of dues difficult, was attributed by Mrs.
Moonan TO the civic and patriotic ac-
tivities of the organization which have
strong appeal to the wives, mothers,
sisters and daughters of World War
veterans.
The enrolment Of the local Auxiliary
Unit is now LIS paid up members.

UnOrganized County
School District Report

Affairs of the unorganized school
district of st. Louis County were con-
Quoted IN an orderly manner during the
three fiscal years ending July 81, 1892.
according to copy Of a report on the
audit by public examiners received
March 2, from E. j. Pearlove, state
|comptroller.
The audit showed a balance of
22,616.65 as of July 81, 1929. and a
deficit of s19I 5000, as of July 81, 1882.
This situation, however, has been
caused not SO much by increased ex-
penditures as by decreased income, oc-
casoned chiefly through tax de-
lnquency," the report said.
The report calls attention to the
reTenchment effected by the board of
education, including consolidation of
thirty-four schools, reduced the number
Of teachers by thirty-six and reduced
the payroll by per cent.
Recommendations include: Adjust
ment Of building appraisals adjustment
Of equipment accounts, an inventory of
books and supplies, publication of
minutes Of the board meetings, and legal
authorization for construction Of
teacherages where they are necessary.
The report included table showing
how the tax dollar has been spent for
county schools, as follows: 1882,
general control, cents; instruction, Il;
operation, 10; maintenance, 5; trans
portation and board Of pupils, %; and

for relief reports the funds ex-
hausted and no more money in
sight for the purposes named.
There were nine on the COM
mittee with w. Il. Newman,
county commissioner, as chair
man. Five were range people
and four Duluth people on the
committee. A request has been
made to the county commits
sioners that this committee be
made permanent for a period
during the continuance of the
depression as an advisory COM
mittee for the regular county
poor commission. The idea is
a good one. About $3.50 re-
mains in the fund for the
Fourth District which will be
distributed for actual needs as
long as available.

part of the story was that the

Rayon will put the silk worm

so already. Made in America
from poplar, aspen and other
woods would help out the un-

being a patriotic gesture; fur
