PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
State AidS-S1O3,621.33
A. E. GUSTAFSON, County Supt.

Stdte AlUS-plUO,OZls 0O
The following state school aids for
the school year 1867 just arrived at
the county auditors office and will
DE distributed to Pine county schools
by the county treasurer soon: Classif-
cation, $19,95O0O; ST ecial departments
$4,137.75; transportation, $30,1O4.OO;
isolated, $231.OO; library, $577.50; sup
Elemental, $1O3,6S5.25. This makes a
total of $15S,6S5.50. Prorated at 64.7
per cent the amount will be $102 ,643.-
"a. With 1897 corrections of $977.49
added the net aids received will be
$103, 621.33.
Last Year-$SS,792.21
Last year in March, Pine county
schools received $SS,792.21 covering
the same items for the year 1886.
The gain of $14,S29 made this year
over last year lies principally in the
supplemental aid gains. Bruno, (un-
organized) district, made net gain
this year of $2,448, and Sandstone
gained $4,076, of which nearly $4,000
was added in order to correct an error
in last years allotment. Thus Bruno
holds first place among all schools
in amount of net gains made over and
above those of last year. These aids
listed do not include high school tu-
itiOn, net income tax, transportation
of crippled children and apportion-
ment aids.
Reasons For Gains.
The rural schools showing large
gains over last year are those who
have joined the supplemental aid
group For 1867 there were "a
rural schools that qualified for the
supplemental aids. For 1885 only
% rural districts qualified for sup
there will be As rural schools in the
supplemental aid group-payable in
January, 1889. Many of these fail to
earn all they are entitled to because
they fail to use all of the state money
Offered. Several schools this year
dropped off of the supplemental aid
list, as shown by comparison of aids
received.
Some rural schools earn consider
able transportation aid. This helps
to swell the totals for certain schools.
The attention of the state depart
ment will be called to apparent errors
in their computations for several of
the rural districts in this allotment.
The greatest losses appear to be for
districts 35, 46, 81 and 1O6. The state
has always been willing to correct
losses due to their errors in the past.
If any other rural school board mem
bers feel that the state department has
made errors in computing your aids,
please notify this office at once and
we will take the matter up with them.
Sturgeon Lake district 40 makes a
gain of 1000 per cent.
More details about state aids will
be given soon.

SPORTS
By DICK CULLUM
Sports Editor of
THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

There are many
who say John Henry
Lewis could defeat
Joe Louis. / am one
who believes he
could. John Henry
is a sound boxer.
He does things right.
Such a man has the
euuipm ent with
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-02-10

which to take advantage of any weak
ness his opponent may have; and Joe
Louis has a weakness. In fact he has
several.
Gene Tunney notes that Louis has
become so punch shy that he closes
his eyes whenever an opponent starts
a left jab at him. John Henry is
a beautiful feinter and any man who
can feint well would make easy work
of taking a left jab and then hitting
Louis at any vulnerable spot during
that moment when his eyes are closed.
1t takes a good man to take advan-
tage of such opportunities; but John
Henry has the class and skill.
Friday night in st. Paul, however,
he will fight man who does not close
his eyes when punches start to fly.
Freddie Lenhart is a tough, strong,
game, experienced veteran of many a
hard fight-one of the best men Lewis
has met in IL months. What is more
-Lenhart has genuine confidence in
his ability to win.
81 fought him to a draw when I
was less experienced and less rugged
than l am now" said Lenhart, land
l knocked him down. l know I can
hit him and my punch is heavy
enough now to do plenty of damage
when it lands"
l truly believe Lenhart has an out
side chance in this fight. Of course
he cannot win the light heavyweight
championship by beating the cham
pion because the contract requires
him to come in above the weight
limit; but victory will help his
prestige and might earn him fight
later at championship weight.
In any event it is likely to be one
of the best fights Minnesota has had
in several seasons.
Skaters Pull Crowds.
Professional figure skating, now adj
vanced to the scale of high theatrical
production, has Minnesota tightly in
its spell. The Gay Blades show,
featuring Karl Sahaffer of Austria,
Vivienne Hutton of Sweden, the
Simpson Sisters of Canada, packed
the ST. Paul auditorium for seven per-
formances last week.
Early in March the Ice Follies,
featuring skating talent developed in
Minnesota, will pack the Minneapolis
Arena for IL performances where
nearly $4,000 spectators will see the
show.
Eddie and Roy Shipstad, Oscar
Johnson, Everett MCGOWAN, of ST.
Paul, Bess Ehrhardt of Superior, who
learned her skating in Duluth, the
Nelson Sisters and Heinie Brock of
Minneapolis, ballet of % girls, II
of whom are natives of Minnesota,
all make this greatest skating spec
tacle a strictly Minnesota affair.
1t is but matter of time when
this entire troupe will move to Holly
wood to make pictures for a studio
that wants skating numbers to offset
Sonia Henie's success with Warner
Brothers.
Bess Ehrhardt, they say, will be
two and it will be in her favor that
her supporting cast will be skaters,
too, whereas Sonja's supporters are
poor skaters whose work in the films
has to be faxed.
Handsome Roy Shipstad, Bess Ehr-
hardt's husband, is the best male
skater in the world and he has the
movie profile and a fine knack for
showmanship. Eddie Shipstad and
Oscar Johnson are the greatest COM
edy team in skating and Heinie Brock
is one of the greatest comedy singles
When this troupe moves into Holly
wood the state of Minnesota may take
top spot as the producer of motion
picture stars.

Shooting Affrqy Occurs Fairbanks at Night
BANK NIGHT IS NOT VIOLATION OF ALASKA LAW
Attorney General Holds General Practice in The
 atres Not Lottery Here

Bank Night or Silver Night as held in various theatres in AL aska is not a violation of the AL aska statutes.
 This is the opinion given today by Attorney General James s. Truitt in answer to request from the Cordova Central Labor Council for ruling The Attorney General held that because it is not necessary to actually be in the theatre, or be the holder of ticket at the time the drawing for award IS made, to win, bank nights do not come under the Territorial lottery laws.
 The opinion in part said;
 There is no question but what two elements of a lottery are pres ent, first, a prize, and, second, a determination of the recipient by lot. Difficulty arises in the third ele- ment, namely the payment of some valuable consideration for the chance by the holder thereof. A holder of the chance to win the prize in the matter under consid- eration must be required to do two things in order to be eligible to re- ceive the prize; first, to sign his

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Two di- gests of the British trade dispute act are being circulated in Wash ington One comes from the De- partment of Labor, which might reasonably be expected to reflect labor viewpoint. The other comes from the National Association ot Manufacturers, which might req sonably be expected to reflect the employers viewpoint.
 In light of the Presidents sug- gestion that it would be worth while to study the act, it may be helpful to know the reaction of these two agencies. The Labor Department sympathetic to labor, is openly cri- tical of most phases of the act. The Manufacturers Association, on the other hand, discloses in its digest 8 friendly attitude, guarded and re- served friendliness, but nevertheless friendliness.
