DELAYED AIDS
ARE NOW PAID
New Legal Setup Causes
Annual October Payment
to be Held Up.
S98.992.21 in Checks Mailed
to Treasures of County.
School Districts.

A total of $98,992.21 was div ided
among the various school districts in
the county the past week. This rep
resents the annual October distribu-
ton of state aids. The allotment also
includes the March appOrtiOnment OF
the General School fund in the
amount of SIS per pupil in average
daily attendance.
In explaining the delay In sending
the money to the various school dis
tricts, a letter from the State Com
missioner of Education states that
his department is sponsoring a change
in the law to base the supplemental
aid partly on the collections for the
previous year instead of the current
year, which should make possible
full distribution of the aids as has
heretofore been done.
On account of the new limitations
in regard to net maintenance cost and
maximum classroom allowance, which
were based on the net pro-rated
amounts of aid, it was impossible to
arrive at even tentative prO-rated
cIiO WILL dll vi IIlt udId vi COllSC-
tiOns of local taxes had been received
from the various county auditors. The
computation of the aids under the
new law has taken longer than was
contemplated. but having the data OH
last years collections on hand and
the method of computation worked
out, the procedure should facilitate
having the aids certified next sum-
mer soon after the first of August, il
the amendments to Chapter 28S, Laws
of 1885 are passed.
The various amounts received by
the school districts of Pine county
are as follows.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Two days ago it was twenty years
since the United States entered into
the world war for the avowed Will
sonian idea of making the world safe
for democracy and ending all wars"
Twenty years ago! And didn't it
sound noble? They called that par
ticular day Good Friday-all right
let it go at that!
That was in 917-remember?-
world seemed to hinge on whatever
step the United States chose to take
And now we have before us today
this very day-a world in which there
is less democracy than ever before
recorded; a world bristling with more
guns than ever before known-a world
with more deadening warships on its
seven seas than have before been
seen.
So much for what is usually re-
ferred to as craftsmanship!
No American Action.
Some weeks ago the world press
chief executive of the United States,
might inaugurate movement for the
purpose of bringing about discussion
of the problem of international dis
armament; the President himself was
not quoted, but the sentiment was
acquired through newspapermens
talks with Mr.. Roosevelt. Then, a
few days ago word came that the
American government was not at all
interested in that question. 1t came
from Secretary of State Cordell Hull
and it came from the other side of
the Atlantic through the voice of Nor
man H. Davis, socalled travelling am
bassador of the United States. He
claimed that there would not now be
any American initiative in the di-
rection of disarmament; his own per-
sonal mission, he said and word to
that effect came from WASHINGTON,
too-was to explore what was referred
to as the international sugar problem
He thought it possible, also, that the
sugar conference might pave the way
for further world meetings along the
same general lines, with the possible
result of starting negC tiations con-
corning cooperation among the great
powers in the interest of world peace
Fascist Retreats.
A few days ago reports about the
civil war in Spain sounded pretty
good to most of those people who be-
lieve that the rebel capture of Ma
drid is a question of merely few
days. The defense of the capital
for the city is still that in spite of
the fact that the actual government
for the time being has been trans
ferred to Valencia-has put up a ire
mendously strong resistance.
Quite lately the government troops
have won notable victories over the
rebels and forced their enemies miles
back from the vicinity of Madrid. Els
pecially at Brihuega and Pozoblanco
the fascist rebels suffered very seri-
Gus defeats, but a few days later
again took the offensive against the
loyalists. While nothing definite, of
course, can be predicted about the
final outcome of the war, it has be-
come increasingly uncertain that Ma

ance, Senator johnson said that he
did not think there would be a bill
passed whereby all of the county board
would serve on the welfare board if
the county is to be relieved of it's
share of payment.
In commenting on the reported
fights having been had between the
liberals in the Senate, Senator John
son stated that there had been no
fights, but that naturally there had
been differences and arguments. SEN
ator Johnson reviewed other phases
of the legislative program in the
Senate.
Holiday President Tells of Lobby.
John H. Bosch, who is chairman of
the Peoples Lobby, discussed that
groups program and reviewed history
to show that the human race has been
in a constant struggle for existence.
We have come to a place now, said
Mr.. Bosch, when we know how to pro-
duce enough so that every family
could have over $4,000 per year, but
have we, he asked. There are too
many absentee land owners.
The people can do what they want
to do if they want to badly enough;
if they are willing to fight for their
rights and are organized properly. If
democracy fails in the United States,
admOnished the speaker, then human
ity will be thrown backward thou
sands of years.
In Minnesota, the speaker stated,
there are bills beneficial to the peo-
pie before the legislature and it is
up to us to see that they are passed.
That's what the Peoples Lobby is for.
If we don't see that they are passed,

Mr.. JacOby.

Mrs. Jacoby quite properly opened
with one club, and Mr.. Jacoby, whose
hand was not strong enough for a slam
force, simply responded with one dia-
mond. The opponents always passing,
Mrs. Jacoby raised this to two. While
her hand represented strong playing
strength in support of partners dia-
mOnd bid, she did not consider her
high card value sufficient to warrant
an immediate jump. With immediate
diamond support, Mr. JaCoby was in
terested not only in six, but also in the
possibilities of seven. and promptly
commenced exploring by a bid of two
spades. Since diamonds had been bid
and raised, this was, of course, a tenn
porary force. Mrs. Jacoby now bid
three clubs, Mr.. Jacoby three hearts,
Mrs. Jacoby three no trump and Mr..
Jacoby four diamonds
Now Mrs. Jacoby thought thiYgs over
and said to herself: My partner obvi-
ouSly intended to bid four diamonds
over my two diamonds, but first took
the trouble to bid both spades and
hearts. These suits obviously showed
f1rst-round control of those two suits.
He would not bid this way without the
ace of his own suit also, and therefore
we have f1rst-round control of spades
and hearts, solid trumps and a solid
club suit on which to discard any losers
in my partners hand. According.
seven diamonds must be a lay-doWn. !"
Mrs. Jacoby therefore contracted for
the grand slam, which was easily made,
since all Mr.. Jacoby had to do was
draW trumps, trump a spade and dis
card his losing hearts on dummy's good
clubs.
