Equality In Dttribution of '
State School Money Shown
That the atnta and county offlciala of.
Oregon are much more aealoue in aafe
guarding the aehool fundi than are
ome of the neighboring etatea la
ahown by an investigation started
ihort time ago by the legialative com
mittee of the atate of Waahington
repreaenting the Bute Federation of
Labor, the Farmera' Union and State

tee wrote to Bute Superintendent J.
A. Churchill calling attention to the
fact that 26 per eent of the moneys
derived from the aale of timber and
rental! of the forest reserve, is paid
by the Federal govemment to various
atatea and that the law provides that
it shall be by them divided among the
counties in which the forest reserves
are situated, and the money expanded
for the benefit of the public schools
and the public roads thereof, and not
otherwise. .
A comparison of the way this money
is divided in the different states is
quite interesting. This committee
sent a statement which shows tnat In
many counties of Waahington all the
money ia expended for the benefit of
roads, and the schools receive nothing
In some counties a very small sum is
spent for roads and schools and the
balance is "otherwise" expended.
Superintendent Churchill sent a let
ter to each county of this state asking
for a atatement aa to how the money
is expended in Oregon. He haa re
ceived letters from nearly all-the coun
ties, and in every instance the money
is equally divided between the school
fund and the road fund.

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and Inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist's get a Jar
of resinol ointment and a cake of res
inol soap. These are not at all expen
sive. With the resinol soap and warm
water bathe the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin Is softened, Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandageIf necessary to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the Bkin soon becomes
clear and healthy again. Adv. -
