The state aid fund was contained in an appropriation bill covering ex- penses for the next two years of 32| * departments of the state government. he appropriations committee rec- ommended reduction of the state aid fund for the department of public in- struction from $683,000 to $87,700. This was done by eliminating $170,000 for the state aid fund for high schools and $450,000 for rural schools, and substituting an addjtional $24,- 000 for teachers’ inspectors. State Aid Called Bribe A_ motion by Senator John Benson, Rolette county, to res the school aid amount drew. the sertion from Senator P. T. Kretsch- w. tore as- mar, McIntosh county, that state aid promises are “bribes to get the schools to do certain things.” He wid that he had obtained figures rom the departmeyt of public in- struction that show state aid has failed to accomplish its object. ‘It is wrong to take away high school and rural school aid’ at this gime,” Benson countered. Senator Fred Van Camp, Pembina coun’ then asserted that of 5,000 pub schools in the state, but 1,500 are re- ceiving state aid. Senator Ole Ette- stad, McHenry county, defended the state aid, but on the roll call the motion restore it was lost, $1 to 17. Senator Walter Bond, Ward coun- ty, offered another “amendment to eliminate the provision of $24,000 for teachers’ insepetors, but it also lost, 22 to 23. After several senators had objected to employing “teachers to teach the teachers,” Senator Dave Hamilton, McHenry*:county, was successful in his motion to “hate $10,600 for ex- penses of teachers’ institutes stricken out, Hamilton contended that both teachers’ institutes and teachers’ in- spectors were unnecessary and would be _a duplication of work. Together with the other items, the budget bill was then accepted as ree- mmended. There are few changes in the balance of the appropriations.

FIRLD MICE INVADE RICHE _ CACHE VALLEY Utah Fields and Orchards as Badly Infested as Cali- fornia Was Recently Logan, Utah, Feb. 5.—)—With thousands of field mice invading the Riche Cache valley of Utah, state and county officials were distributing poison grain while farmers elevated the barn: cat to the grain bin pro- W tection squad. W. R. Wrigley, a county agent, de- clared that although several tons of poisoned grain had been distributed, no appreciable decrease had been noted in the mouse army. He said that the fields and orchards of the valley apparently are as badly in- fested with mice ai county in ‘M@alifornia recently was, and that the possibility of damage to crops and trees was greater, A large supply of grain has been prepared and will be distributed in the hope this method will prove as successful as it did in California, where rains drove the mice from swamp lands. aS SO | Weather Report | i a Weather conditions at North Da- kote points for the 24 hours ending at 8 a. m, today. -Jemperature at 7 a. m.

The article inti- mated that Mr. Dahn, who accom- panied his son-in-law, Oscar Nelson, who was moving with his personal effects to a farm near Waterloo,’ N. Y., had told of farmers in North Du- kota, Minnesota, and Iowa being in desperate circumstances. It also de- clared that the local men at Waterloo had to assist the North Dakota men in buying feed for the livestock which Nelson had shipped east to his new home. “I was very much surprised when I saw the clipping in the paper,” Mr. Dahn declared, “because it was so far removed from the truth. The fact that it predicts a movement of land in central w York state, and quotes me as saying that many farm- ers from the midwest and northwest will move there, rather indicates that it was inspired by real estate inter- ests seeking to start a land boom in the vicinity of Waterloo, Satisfied With N. D. “The idea that anyone there had to help Mr. Nelson with money to pay on his freight or buy feed for his livestock is ridiculous. He had money, I also had sufficient resources to ussist him if he needed help.
