So many inquiries have been direc- ted to this department asking when the state aid to schools could be ex- pected that it has been deemed ad- visable to issue this letter giving the situation as it exists. The legislature of the state made the appropriation available in Octo- ber and in so doing has anticipated the revanues which do not reach the treasury until the following March. The fall months mark the lean period in the finances of the state and asa result the state is each year coms pelled, to borrow several hundred thousand dollars. This necessity arose this year, but owing to the un- fortunate condition of the money market it has been impossible to bor- row as heretofore. In fact negotia- tions were completed for the loan to cover this $830,000 appropriation but were abruptly broken off when this present financial situation appeared. Acéordinly, there bas not been a suf- ficiently large cash balance on hand to meet the warrants if they were sent out. The officials of the state are using all the means in their power to make arrangements fur the loan and when they can be made or when the funds for this, purpose reach the treasury the aid Will be immediately sent out. CLARENCE C. DINEHART, State Treasurer. ie vue year served as chimes for the wedding of Miss Edyth Mae King and Henry Ranfranz, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. King, in Grand Rapids. The parlors were tastefully corated with flowers and evergreens and as the old year passed into his- tory, to the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, played by Miss Carrie Beckfelt, the bridal party entered the parlor and were united in the holy bonds of wedlock by the Rev. Davies of terian church. The bride was attired in a dress of many, ornamented with white polka dots, and carried a bouquet of ct anthemums. She was attended by M Edith Aitkin. The groom’s best man was Mr. Wm. King, brother of the bride. The bridal party were attend ed by Miss Mabel King, sister of the bride, as flower girl, and Miss Florence King, a niece, as ring bearer. Those witnessing the from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bied, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Brown, Mrs. Carl Schmied, of Deer River: Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lothrop, Coleraine; Miss Bertha Schumacher, Bovey and M Delia Smith, Duluth. Others present were: Mr. and Mrs. F. E. King, Mr. and Mrs. Mody Winsor, Mrs. Rev. Davies, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Radke. and Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Smith, Misses Alice Tyndal and Hazel Tyn- dal, and Messrs. A. Sitz, Ed. Hersh- back, John McMahon and Stanley McMahon. After the ceremonies came con- gratulations, followed by an elegant supper. During the repast music was furnished by the King orchestra. The newly wedded couple were the reciprients of many beautiful, costly and useful gifts. ‘The bride is a popular young lady of this village and the groom has a position in the store of John Beckfelt. The customary wedding tour was omitted and the young couple have gone to houses keeing. The Herald-Review unites: with their friends in wishing them a pleasant and prosperous voyage on the matrimonial sea. An exchange with a business head figures it like this. ‘‘No, the country printer can’t compete with the government on printing envelopes. The postoffice department went be- hind over a million dollars last year and go country publisher can very fford to do that, especially these panicy times.” well duri UREA EXPLAINS Tells When State Aid For Schools | err fang in~thenew | de- | the Presby- | corn colored satin that came from Ger- | ceremony | | | i | This “The Kangaroo.

Life imprison- Toent, followed by death, is to be the sentence of the court. While per- secuting attorney, Jingo tried two of his strongest cases against Miller, but the juries were “‘bum,”’ and - ac- quited him, so he is now to be handl- ed in a proper and legal manner Miller’s got to go. Jingo couldn’t convict him in district court, but what’s a district court compared with the Kangaroo conducted through the Independent with Jingo George Spear at the pen and Timid Tony as wet nurse? Hard to Please. The chairman of the county board of health and the county physician, working in conjunction with the-board of county commissioners, have ren- dered most efficient service to the public during the past yearin their efforts to prevent the spread of con- tageous disease. Yet, everybody is not satisfied. The most absurd com- plaint that has come to our attention is made'by certain parties who protest because cultuers of diphtheria germs are sent to the state university in- stead of to Duluth for analysis. If sent to the university there is no charge. If'sent to Duluth the cost to the county would probably be from $200 to $400 per year. And so it goes. How would you like to be a commis- sioner.

It could not be expectec that they pleased everybody. but the popular verdict will be that the have accomplished all that good j ment and limited funds would mit. Just who will be selected for Chair man and the various other positioas is not possible to predict at this | time, as but fewof the ccminissioners jhave been in town since the in December and consequently if meeting any has been prepared itis being kept out of the way of possible break age.
